Speaking of the actors in the film, perhaps the most memorable thing for most people is the lively and cheerful heroine Maria who brings music to everyone. But my favorite and most memorable one is the hero Colonel von Trapp in the film. On the surface, he seemed to be a stern, indifferent and rigid navy colonel. But behind Leng Jun's appearance, he has a heart of fraternity. The most unforgettable look in his eyes was at that time stern and sometimes full of infinite affection. His implicit and deep love was undoubtedly revealed in these eyes.
I remember the first time the hero and heroine met shortly after the film began: Sister Maria was sent to the colonel’s home as a tutor for the colonel’s seven children. When she waited for the colonel in the hall and saw the colonel’s beautiful ballroom, she couldn’t help it. Ran in, closed the door and danced. Suddenly the door of the ballroom popped open, and the colonel stood at the door, looking at Maria without saying a word. (Unfortunately, carrying the light on his back, I can't see the expression on the colonel's face.) When Maria ran out of the ballroom at a loss, the first sentence the colonel said was reprimanding: "Don't just go into the room." . This is the Colonel’s first appearance, the kind that feels cool. When I saw the colonel's face in the next lens, I realized that this was really a handsome man, although Maria seemed to have been smiling during the first few minutes of his debut, and he hadn't smiled once. In fact, I am always interested in such unsmiling male protagonists at first. I like to find other things hidden behind this indifference in their language, behavior and expression. And this time I quickly found a place: when the colonel said that 12 tutors had left before Maria arrived, and the last teacher left after only two hours, Maria was surprised. Asked "Are there any problems with the children?" The colonel replied: "The children are normal. It is the problem of the tutor." It can be seen that this is actually a father who loves his children.

The second scene that impressed me was that when the colonel returned with his fiancee, the baroness from Vienna, he suddenly discovered that during the period when she was not at home, Maria had not disciplined the children according to her instructions. It is to mingle with the children, play around, and even use old curtains to make game clothes for the children. The colonel was so angry that he had a fierce dispute with Maria over how to discipline the children, and finally fired Maria on the spot. At this moment, the children’s singing came from the room—the children were welcoming the baroness with the song Mary taught them. Since the colonel’s wife, the children’s mother, passed away, there has been no singing in the house. The most memorable thing is the change in the colonel’s eyes in this scene. When the colonel heard the once-familiar song sounded again, the glaring stare at Maria just now suddenly turned into the doubt when he heard the song, and then turned. In order to know that this was actually the surprise of the children's singing, when he walked quickly to the living room, he saw the gentleness and kindness of the children singing. This series of changes made me see this man, as a father, deeply loves the children hidden in his heart; and when he couldn’t help singing with the children, his eyes were filled with the past for a moment. Memories also let me indirectly feel his love for his deceased wife and the great pain he buried in his heart when his wife passed away. Every time I watch this scene, I am moved by this love, and it makes me cry. Then he apologized to Maria, and habitually asked Maria to stay in a commanding tone, and then turned to ask Maria to stay in a humble tone, his sincere and grateful gaze also let We deeply feel the frank and sincere heart of this man. This scene should be regarded as a turning point in the colonel's attitude towards Maria.

The third unforgettable scene is the famous "Edelweiss". This song has been sung twice in the film, and here is the first time it was sung. This is the first time the colonel sings in the film in the true sense. During the singing, his eyes are also very intriguing. When his gaze rested on Maria, even the baroness noticed that there seemed to be some subtle emotion behind the smile; when his gaze fell on the baroness again, it seemed normal. The cordial smile to the lover—maybe even the colonel himself may not know that his feelings for Maria have quietly changed at this time—the most sensitive at this time is naturally his fiancee. And when the song reached the end of the second paragraph: "bless my homeland forever", the colonel's gaze seemed to fall far away, full of affection, but also a little worried. This was the eve of Hitler's annexation of Austria in the 1930s. The colonel's gaze again showed me the man's deep patriotism.

If the second scene mentioned above is a turning point in the colonel’s attitude towards Maria, then the fourth scene mentioned here is It's a turning point in the relationship between the hero and heroine. This period of dancing between the hero and the heroine turned the feelings between them from vague to clear, although it is still not clear. This is a relaxed and elegant scene. Although the colonel's demeanor has always been good throughout the play, I was even more impressed here. His gentlemanly grace was fully demonstrated in the dance steps. In this scene, the colonel's gaze can be regarded as affectionate, I believe that the careless Maria also felt it. After the dance, a child of the colonel said to Maria, "Your face is so red", and Maria replied with some embarrassment, "Maybe I am not used to dancing." At this time, the colonel had been staring at Maria. He didn't seem to see any special expression on his face, but he could still catch a trace of joy. At this time, in my opinion, he was the most handsome in the whole play, even surpassing the moment when he later confessed to Maria. All of this naturally did not escape the eyes of the Baroness. After that, she clearly said to Maria, "The colonel has fallen in love with you", so that Maria, who was at a loss, chose to escape and returned to the monastery.

next fifth scene is very interesting. Maria left without saying goodbye. The children went to the monastery without telling the colonel because they missed her, so they went home late. When the colonel asked them where they were, the children began to lie. Although the lie was full of loopholes and the colonel knew what the children were doing, he deliberately teased the children and cancelled theirs with good reasons. dinner. Seeing the children regretting lying when they heard that they hadn't eaten dinner, the colonel snickered as he walked back. This scene always made me laugh. I saw the cute side of this man as a child, and at the same time I felt—hey, this man is so charming...Although the colonel seemed to be in the mood after Maria left. Not affected at all-I looked closely for a long time, and none of the shots and expressions showed the colonel's loss, but when Maria came back, I still captured the huge joy hidden in the colonel's eyes. There is another proof from the side. The baroness asked the colonel, "You didn't speak much during dinner. Is it because of the wine?" It can be seen that the colonel's heart is indeed all on Maria, the whole dinner time. Actually, I was thinking about this matter, and laid the groundwork for the colonel and the baroness to dissolve the marriage contract. On the contrary, Maria did not hide her feelings very much. When she heard that the colonel had decided to marry the baroness, disappointment and pain were written on her face. But perhaps because of this, the colonel made sure that Maria loves herself, and made up his mind to cancel the marriage contract with the baroness.

The sixth scene is an emotional confession. This is also a very interesting scene. The reason and calmness of the colonel and the baroness in the showdown is in stark contrast to the temptation and even clumsiness of the confession with Maria. Yes, before I say it, I will become dumb in front of my beloved; and how to confess is also a skill. It is obviously not suitable for the colonel to say that I love you directly before I can get a positive answer. Implied human personality. Many confessions in movies use good hinting skills, and this is no exception, so I won’t say more, just watch the movie directly. But there is an interesting expression. When the Baroness decided to quit and said, "That young woman over there, I don’t think she will be a nun anymore", she didn’t seem to expect that her secret had been seen through, and the colonel was embarrassed. For a moment, very cute expression.

The last scene to be written is the second singing of "Edelweiss", which is the climax of showing patriotic feelings, and it is also every time you watch A section that made my eyes burst into tears. At this time, the colonel and Maria had just got married on their honeymoon, and suddenly received a call from Berlin, ordering the colonel to join the Nazi navy and put him and his family under close surveillance. Accepting the Nazi's arrangement was absolutely impossible in the eyes of the colonel; if he refused directly, his beloved wife and children would be harmed. So the colonel decided to take the whole family away. On the night when he was about to leave the motherland, by taking the opportunity of participating in the folk song festival, the colonel sang the song "Edelweiss" in front of the Austrian compatriots. As he said, "This is a song of love, I know you will share This love, I pray that you will never let it go.” By the second sing, the colonel was choked and couldn’t continue. Under the leadership of Maria, even though the venue was under the surveillance of the Nazis, the whole Austrian audience still I sang edelweiss aloud with the colonel—"Edelweiss, Edelweiss, bless my homeland forever"—yes, everyone will share this love and never let it pass away.

In fact, in my opinion, the male protagonist is the real soul figure in this play. Maria is optimistic, cheerful, and full of love, which is impressive; of course, just like the title of "The Sound of Music", it is Maria who brings music to everyone. But I think the real moving thing in this drama is the broad and deep love hidden behind the music. The love for children, love for lovers, and love for the motherland are concentrated in the colonel. Of course, we can also see these loves in Maria, but what makes me unforgettable is that patriotism, which has been more prominently expressed in the colonel. Take a look at the scenes not mentioned in the above scenes: 1. The Nazis questioned: "I noticed that the Austrian flag is still hanging at the door" "Only his house does not hang the German flag"; 2. The colonel returned home after his honeymoon and found A flag with a Nazi mark was hung on the door of the house, and it was torn off; 3. When the colonel’s friend Max said that “peaceful merger with Germany is also very good,” the colonel turned his face immediately, annoyed with disappointment: "Very good?! Max, sometimes I really don't know you"... There are many details like this.
In laughter and tears, I watched this film again. Colonel von Trapp's integrity, sincerity, and fraternity, coupled with his handsome appearance and elegant manners, is undoubtedly the most perfect actor in my mind. So Maria sighed when she heard the colonel confessed to her: "Such a good thing will happen to me?" I can only sigh enviously, I am afraid that such a good thing will never be hit by me.
