I know the movie very well first watching it many times throughout my childhood and then watching it again many times with my children throughout their childhood. My mother introduced my sister and I to it as she was born in Germany and experienced pre during and post the 2nd world war throughout her teenage years and through to her mid 20’s when she left Germany and immigrated to Canada at age 26 and all alone. I loved this movie and even as a child understood the significance of the darkness that was taking place as my mother and I have had countless conversations throughout our lives regarding all of her many horrifying and to me absolutely fascinating war time experiences she had amazingly lived through! This movie is an all time classic and the music and singing is priceless to a sentimental person like me. I had a secret girlish crush on Captain Von Trappe forever with the scene where he and Maria dance the traditional Austrian dance being one of my favourites.
I watched a live theatre performance of the film this Christmas and had the same visceral experience and same thoughts you describe. And I’ve seen the movie a hundred times! But this time the story hit home for the first time given all that’s happening in the world today. I share all the same sentiments you post here, and am especially grateful for your piano and singing post👍💫💕
