"The Sound of Music" is a musical in which the heroine Maria is singing non-stop, which is her yearning for freedom and a pursuit of happiness and happiness. At first, she thought that only by entering a monastery could she cultivate herself and truly love the Lord, so she was keen to be a real nun. But the dean didn't think so. He felt that she was not suitable for the life of the monastery, so he sent her to be the governess of the colonel's house. Here, she has seven students with different personalities to teach. They are mischievous, cheerful and mischievous, but Maria moved them with her enthusiasm and sincerity, and also moved their father, the Colonel, In the end, they became a real family. Although they encountered war, they could feel the happy life and sweetness of their family.

Music and singing are a kind of emotional catharsis. People sing when they are happy and sing when they are sad. Maria loves freedom, likes to run on the vast grass, likes to jump beside the quietly flowing stream, likes to sing happily like a bird. Her behavior was not understood by everyone in the monastery, so she felt confused and felt that she had done something wrong and should repent to God. The nuns of the monastery were divided into two factions, one supported Maria, who regarded her as the most authentic angel, and the other opposed her, treating her as a demon. In fact, this should represent the whole view of parents towards their children, and the two psychology that exist at the same time. As parents, we sometimes see our children as cute as angels, and sometimes as annoying and even annoying as demons. And what the dean represents is the incarnation of the kind of wise parent. She admits the shortcomings of the child, but also sees her strengths and strengths, or she prefers the authenticity and purity revealed by Maria . "How to make the moonlight stay in the palm of your hand? How to take off the floating clouds and nail it? How to make the waves stay on the beach?" She sang the respect for the individual child with her own singing, and sang a great mother with a flowing and heart. Love sings the understanding of the child, and also sings the true praise and recognition of Maria.

Maria, who is as happy and simple as a bird, came to the Colonel's house. Along the way, her heart was full of contradictions and fears. This is exactly the panic and confusion of a person walking into a new world. In the end, she finally took the blessing that the dean told her, and it was a reminder that "God closed the door and opened the window elsewhere" and bravely walked into the colonel's home. She doesn't know what is waiting for her, but she firmly believes that strength does not exist in numbers, strength does not exist in wealth, and strength is a kind of self-confidence in her heart. She is a happy and strong child, she will let the sun shine into her heart at the right time, giving herself the strength and blessing to move forward bravely. The Colonel's serious house rules did not frighten her, and the children's mischievous tricks did not deter her. She integrated into the children's world with her wisdom and enthusiasm, and opened up the Colonel's long-blocked heart.

Her arrival is like bringing a ray of sunshine to this lifeless home, giving the children warmth and vitality, and at the same time making the Colonel's cold heart begin to melt. When she asked: "Why do cute children play tricks?" the answer was very simple: "That's how Daddy pays attention to us." This is the truest answer from the children. They yearn for their parents' love and their parents' response, but they don't get it. After the loss of his wife, the Colonel was utterly lost in a silence without laughter, without energy. He just gave the children a rich material life, but ignored the hunger of the children's hearts. This not only reminds me of those children who are mischievous, naughty, and even characterized as disobedient and ignorant in real life. Isn't their behavior telling us what their inner needs are? These children really need our parents and teachers to give love and care, because their efforts are not so good and they don't get attention and favor, they use this trick-or-treating way to try to attract everyone's attention, but we often It will misinterpret their behavior, and they will be even more unwelcome to see them, causing them to finally go to a broken road of resistance. The arrival of Maria made the children feel an unprecedented warmth of being understood, accepted, recognized, and paid attention to. They no longer played pranks, but told their father, everyone, and the whole family with sweet singing. The world is happy in their hearts.

Maria used her skillful hands to make decent sportswear for the children, allowing the children to go to nature and freedom. Because she knows very well: those noble-looking clothes are like a confinement spell, making the children shrink back, dare not move, dare not look for themselves, and dare not admit their feelings. Because children love their parents very much, they are reluctant to resist, and prefer to wear very uncomfortable coats to show their parents, in order to gain their parents' love and joy. And our parents always impose on children what they think is good for their children and what they think is suitable for them, which becomes a curse for children, so that children have no space for free development, and children lose themselves and lose ability to create. In fact, this is also a wake-up call for us, let us learn to respect children, respect the law of children's growth, and let children grow up healthily in a free and warm environment.

In addition, Maria also remembered the words of the dean: "These walls are not to block your problems, you have to face them and live according to your life path. Climb every mountain, no matter how high or low, seek; Every back road you have to walk; climb every mountain, wade through creeks, chase every rainbow, until you find your dream. This dream requires all your love, in your lifetime Keep going." These admonitions also reveal the true meaning of life that you need to walk on your own. Following this principle of life, Maria pursued her own happiness and brought happiness and hope to the Colonel's family. Climbing over that mountain at the end is an interpretation of the free world, and it should also be regarded as a reminder to people, and a way of overcoming difficulties is an encouragement of hope.

From beginning to end, the film focuses on love and freedom, making people feel the power and support that love brings to people, the greatness and preciousness of love, and telling people that love should flow from the heart, from the grass and grass around you. Trees, mountains and rivers, and one by one falling in love with relatives, will finally be interpreted as a kind of great love, a kind of love for the country, and a kind of love for the whole world.
