Movie Moments V: Oh, those nuns!
Is it wrong that my favorite parts of The Sound of Music involve the nuns? First off, I've always loved the song they sing at the beginning. I may not have known any of the other songs in the musical, but I knew How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? (Now that I think of it, I'm not so sure that's actually the title, but you know the one I'm talking about.) I used to watch the beginning of the movie just for that song and then wander off, coming back every now and then, trying to catch The Lonely Goatherd, and whatever else looked interesting. I also liked Liesl's singing voice, and wondered just why Kurt said "To you and you and you," the way that he did. But back to the nuns. They're what this is about, after all. I usually make it a point to see the part at the end where they sabotage the Nazi's cars so that can't go after the von Trapps. I think it's funny when they ask for forgiveness because they had sinned. I think it's a forgivable one, don't you?

and my favorite singing bit is when Herr Von Trapp sings with julie andrews: they're in the cabana and she's singing, 'so, somewhere in my youth...'
he interrupts and sings, 'ohohohorrr childhood...'
