On the eve of World War II, Salzburg, Austria was quiet.
The young nun Maria is a lively girl who loves singing. She often sings alone on the green hillside and often forgets all the rules in the monastery. Dean likes this young man very much. Seeing her longing for a free life, he introduced her to Colonel von trapp in Salzburg as a tutor.
Mr. Feng Te Rapp is a retired naval colonel of the Austrian Empire, and his wife died a few years ago. Maria's students are seven children who have lost their mothers. Their eldest son is sixteen.
Maria took a simple suitcase and found Feng Te Lapp's home according to the address. Here is a luxurious villa, marble foyer, spiral staircase and golden chandelier hanging from the ceiling, all of which make Maria, who likes fantasy, fall into reverie.
As she stood thinking, a cold voice came from behind her: "Please note that several rooms in this family are not allowed to enter!" " "Maria got a fright and turned around in surprise.
That man is Colonel von Trapp. He is tall and handsome, in his thirties, but he looks as serious as a 50-year-old officer. He said rudely in a soldier's tone, "Miss Maria, you are the twelfth governess I invited. I hope you can be better than the last one. She only stayed for two hours! " Only two hours? The journey to Salzburg by car is not limited to these! This colonel must be very harsh and strict! However, Maria also wants to ask about the child.
The captain of the navy said firmly, "There is nothing wrong with the child! The responsibility lies entirely with the tutor. They are incapable of maintaining the discipline of seven children! Please remember that if there is no discipline in this family, everything will be a mess! " It is hard for Maria to imagine what kind of "discipline" should be used to discipline seven children, big and small, so she asked Mr. trapp, "Do you have any specific requirements for educating children?" The colonel said, "They should review their lessons in the morning, practice in the yard in the afternoon and go to bed on time at night. These are the least they can do. " At this moment, it suddenly occurred to Maria: When will the children go to play with such a tight schedule? Colonel trapp frowned when she asked. Suddenly, he took out a song seedling used on a warship from his pocket and screamed.
In a flash, several rooms upstairs were opened, and seven children walked out one by one with just steps. They lined up and ran downstairs.
Maria understands that Mr. trapp trains his children completely according to the method of managing the army, and he never thinks about children's games.
At this time, seven children have stood at attention in front of Mr. trapp. They stole a look at the new tutor, winked at each other, and reported their names one by one according to the different signals on the colonel's loudspeaker. Our girl's name is Lisa, and she is 16 years old this year. The youngest girl, meredith, has just turned five.
Maria felt that the seven children looked at her like an empty glass bottle, so she summoned up her courage and introduced herself enthusiastically, saying, "My name is Maria, and I am your new tutor. I say hello to you. " Then, she stepped forward and shook hands with the children, but the children gave her the cold shoulder.
Dinner will be ready soon.
Maria sat down at the table, just saying hello to the child. Suddenly, she found something moving in her pocket. She reached in and touched it casually, but her fingers touched a wet living thing, which scared her to scream.
A closer look turned out to be a frog.
The housekeeper sitting next to her immediately told her in a low voice, "You are very lucky. The last governess touched a snake in her own pocket! " Maria smiled awkwardly and was about to say something when Mr. trapp asked, "What happened? Did someone violate the discipline? " At this time, Maria made a relaxed look and said, "This is a secret between me and the children." She turned her head, smiled and said to the children, "Thank you very much. You don't treat me as an outsider at all, but treat me as a friend, which makes me feel warm, happy and happy at once. " Maria's tolerance and thoughtfulness touched the seven children who lost their mother at once. Malta, the mischievous boy, sobbed in a low voice first, and then the children began to cry one by one.
Colonel trapp hasn't seen the children move for a long time, and at that time he was both happy and puzzled. Just then, a young postman named Luf sent a telegram.
After reading the telegram, Colonel trapp said to the children, "The telegram is from the baroness ... I have to go to Vienna early tomorrow morning." The children all know that baroness is a beautiful widow, and she is likely to be the new mother of this family. They are all talking about it. Lisa, a big girl, sneaked into the garden. She knew that her boyfriend Luf had thrown the green package aside and was craning his neck to look here. As soon as they met, they immediately sang their favorite songs and danced in the pavilion.
At this time, it began to rain in Mao Mao.
Maria is in her room, discussing with the housekeeper about updating curtains and making new clothes for the children. The housekeeper said, "The colonel will probably marry the baroness. Let's talk about curtains then. " I heard that the children will have a new mother soon. Maria is sincerely happy for them. She knelt down and prayed sincerely that the loving mother would come to this family as soon as possible.
The rain outside the window is getting heavier and heavier, and in a short time, there is lightning and thunder. Lisa, the eldest girl, had enough fun in the pavilion and rushed through the garden into the house, but all the doors were closed. She was soaked to the skin. Seeing that only Maria's window was still open, she climbed up desperately and jumped in front of Maria with a splash, which really surprised her.
Maria never asked Lisa what she was doing in the garden. She immediately found dry clothes to put on for her and kindly told her to sit in a warm quilt and talk to her. Without saying three words, there was another rumble of thunder outside the window. Suddenly, it rained cats and dogs. At this time, the door was knocked down again and again, and six other children who were too scared to sleep by lightning ran to Maria's room one after another. When they saw their sister Lisa here, they all jumped on the bed and surrounded Maria. The youngest Gretel even buried her head in Maria's arms.
Maria snuggled up to the children and felt very warm. She said to the children, "Don't be afraid of thunder and lightning, and don't think unhappy things. You should think more about those beautiful things. " Gretel asked inexplicably, "What is a beautiful thing?" Maria smiled, and she replied in a gentle voice: "White pony, crispy apple pie, doorbell, bell, noodle steak, silhouette of swan beside the moon … little girl in white silk dress, edelweiss falling on her nose and eyelashes, crushed ice in the spring river … countless beautiful things!" Sweet songs and vivid metaphors remind children of many things they like at once. They are not afraid at all and talk noisily about what they like.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open with a bang.
It turned out that Colonel trapp was awakened by the children's laughter. He didn't ask why, but with a serious expression, he drove the children back to their rooms one by one. Before closing the door, he said to Maria in a warning tone, "Miss, you must remember that in this family, the first thing that matters is discipline! I hope you can do this before I come back. " Maria doesn't care about the colonel's attitude at all. She looked out of the window. The thunderstorm passed, and she knew that the children would not be afraid any more.
The next morning, Colonel von trapp went to Vienna to meet the baroness. As soon as Maria saw the smiling faces of the children, she immediately forgot the colonel's rigid and boring rules. She took down the old green wool curtain, sewed a novel dress for each of them and let them go out for an outing happily.
Maria took the children through the Woods and waded across the stream. They play hide-and-seek together, pick wild fruits and flowers together, and lie on the grass to rest when they are tired of playing.
Facing the blue sky and white clouds, Maria asked the children, "The baroness is coming soon. What song are you going to sing for her? " The child almost said in unison, "Dad doesn't like us singing!" " "Maria nodded. She knew that the colonel didn't like people singing in front of him because he was depressed after losing his wife. As an Austrian officer, he has no reason to really dislike music! She smiled and said to the children, "We can change his mind. Tell me, what song can you sing? " However, the children replied in unison: "Nothing!" Maria just laughed and said loudly, "No, that's all right. I can teach you, starting with dolomite. "Then, Maria randomly composed seven notes into a song and sang softly," Duo, a doe; Come, the sun shines; Rice, it is myself; Send, set out for a distant place; Cable, as fast as a shuttle; Pull, everyone pulls you; Ladder, there are jam, bread and tea waiting for you. Then, I met Duo and Duo! "The metaphor of Maria vividly combines the seven notes of Doric Fasola, which aroused great interest of children. They sang and laughed, and unconsciously took one music lesson after another in a happy atmosphere.
A few days later, seven children fell in love with music class, and they could not do without a new tutor who brought them happiness and laughter.
On this day, on the way to Salzburg, Colonel von trapp personally drove a white car and took a beautiful and delicate baroness on his way home, talking and laughing. He hopes that the baroness can get familiar with his seven children before discussing marriage formally, and the children will also like the new mother in the future.
Suddenly, they saw a group of children in green clothes crawling around in the Woods, singing and making noise, just like a group of monkeys. Colonel trapp felt a little like his own child, but on second thought, children can't sing, have a tutor to take care of them, and they won't be so presumptuous.
However, shortly after he and the baroness arrived at their destination, they found Maria riding a small sampan back to the lakeside pier behind the garden with seven children. I don't know which naughty boy shook it on purpose, and all eight people on board fell into the water, but they all climbed ashore happily and were soaked through.
The colonel couldn't believe his eyes. He quickly took out his horn and blew it "beep". At this time, the children really messed up and lined up.
The colonel frowned and paced in front of the children, introducing them to the baroness one by one. Finally, he couldn't help asking Maria, "I saw a group of children climbing trees like monkeys on the road!" I want to know ... did my child climb a tree outside today? " Maria nodded and said honestly, "I climbed." The colonel pointed to the children's green coats and asked, "What are these things?" Maria said unhurriedly, "I made clothes for them!" " "Colonel trapp was speechless with surprise.
Seeing that he was puzzled, Maria said, "Children are not soldiers who can be managed by whistling. They need to know and care, and they need love more. " The colonel felt that the tutor was too far away from her duties, so he interrupted her: "The child is my child, and I don't want to hear any more from you!" " However, Maria felt that she had just hit the nail on the head and pleaded, "I'm not finished yet." ... "However, Colonel von Trapp was impatient with a series of inconsiderate concerns. He said with a straight face, "You are finished! Miss Maria, I order you to pack your things and go back to your monastery at once! "However, as soon as his voice fell, children's songs sounded around him: the mountains are full of music, and there are endless songs in the mountains ... My heart flies from the lake to the Woods like a bird, and my heart floats to the dawn like an angel ..." Who is singing this unforgettable song? "Listening to the children's familiar voice, the colonel couldn't believe his ears.
Maria said softly, "Your seven children are singing. They dedicate this song to you and the baroness. " At this time, there came a soft song, like a spring rain, which moistened Colonel trapp's lonely and sad heart. He couldn't help singing along: "Whenever my heart feels lonely, I want to go to the mountains, and I will hear the songs in the distance again …" At the end of the song, Vontep's heart was deeply touched. He held the children in his chest one by one, and the memories of the past years and youth seemed to come back to him at once. Only then did he realize what an excellent teacher Sister Maria was. He held her hand guiltily and said, "Miss, I was wrong about you just now. I apologize. " Maria blushed. She said, "It's my fault to be outspoken, if what I do is helpful to the children ..." Before she finished, Colonel trapp gratefully interrupted her and said, "You have helped me so much that I can't describe it!" After dinner, Maria and the children rehearsed the puppet show Lonely Shepherd for the Colonel and Baroness. Every child manipulates their puppets, talking and singing, and performing brilliantly. Colonel trapp repeatedly applauded, and the baroness was full of praise for the performance.
The children surrounded their father in high spirits and insisted that he sing a song live.
The colonel was very excited to see the children, and he was very moved, as if he had suddenly returned to his childhood and sang edelweiss with passion. Edelweiss flashed before his eyes like a child's face, and he shed tears with excitement.
Happy laughter began to appear in this deserted villa for many years. The children enthusiastically surrounded Maria and refused to leave for a long time. Baroness suddenly found that Colonel trapp's eyes on his mentor had also changed subtly.
Soon, at a dance, people talked about the news that Germany was going to merge with Austria. Colonel trapp said, "What merger? This is the Nazi occupation and annexation of Austria. Their ambitions are great and will only bring disaster to the Austrians! " Zeiler, a local spy planted by the Nazis, said to the colonel, "A man of prestige like you should not speak so casually. They want you to hold an important position ... at least, please sing their music in a strong baritone. " The colonel retorted, "When the Nazis occupied Austria, of course you were in charge, Mr. Zeiler!" Just as Zeiler launched the Nazi offensive against Colonel trapp, the baroness was having another conversation with Maria. She said, "The Colonel seems interested in you. That night, you were wearing beautiful green clothes and he stared at you. " Simple Maria said in a panic, "Nothing …" The baroness added, "You blushed when he asked you to dance. Don't be serious, son. The colonel will soon get cold, like a man. " Maria finally understood the baroness's intention: out of jealousy, she didn't want to stay with the children! On impulse, she told herself, "We can't stay here. Go! " That night, Maria packed her simple luggage, left a note, took French leave and returned to the monastery. However, her mood is not calm. She missed the children and the frank and honest Colonel trapp. The baroness thought that the children would turn to Maria after she left. However, when the children found that the tutor left without saying goodbye early in the morning, it was like losing their loved ones, listless and even angry with the "future new mother", the baroness wanted to train the children with Colonel Hillarp's whistle. Who knows, nobody cares about her, from her children to the youngest. Finally, she had to say to Colonel trapp, "Send these little guys to boarding school ..." Colonel trapp gave her a cold look and said, "For so many years, I never thought about sending my children to a boarding school that lacked warmth." On the same day, the children disappeared collectively.
They can't lose Maria! Seven men came to the monastery with their eldest children on their backs and asked to see Sister Maria. However, Maria dare not leave her room! She likes them at heart, but she doesn't know what to do.
Mother superior knew the contradiction in Maria's heart and said to her, "You should live according to your own wishes, follow the rainbow in the sky, find your dream, and inject all the love in this life into this dream." Maria's eyes brightened after listening to this encouraging word.
Seven children returned to Salzburg in disappointment. They didn't even think about it. Colonel trapp flew into a rage and forced them to say where they were going. Children, you look at me and I look at you. No one wants to tell the same secret.
Just then, the door of the living room opened and Maria appeared in front of everyone with her suitcase. In the blink of an eye, the children rushed over and hugged her.
Suddenly, Colonel trapp understood everything. He even understood the source of his nameless fire. He ran up and whispered, "You didn't say goodbye when you left." Maria's face flushed, and she sincerely blessed the colonel and baroness. However, the colonel made a negative gesture. At this time, the baroness understood that only Maria was in the colonel's heart.
Soon, Maria became the wife of Colonel trapp, and their seven children were in high spirits. Singing fiercely,
Surround the new mother.
At this moment, the Nazi Germans occupied Austria, and the fat Nazi detective Zeiler turned himself into a detective captain. Everyone raised their hands and shouted, "Hey, *!" Lisa's boyfriend, Rafe, also joined the stormtroopers blindly and became a pawn of fascism, following Zeiler all day.
On this day, Colonel trapp went home angrily and tore up the Nazi flag that he was forced to hang. Maria stepped forward with concern and asked softly, "What happened outside?" Trapp knocked on the table with his fist and said, "Berlin ordered me to join their navy and report to Bremen base early tomorrow morning!" Maria worried about it for a long time, but she didn't expect it to come so soon. Colonel trapp said, "If I refuse, the Nazis will kill our family! ..... Take the children, and we will escape from Austria during the singing contest tonight! " The fascist police have been keeping an eye on Salzburg, but they can't stop the family from taking part in the grand local singing competition. Maria dressed the children in warm clothes and the whole family went to the concert by bus.
Nazi cars followed them to the concert. Zeiler, the detective captain, looked at the children and asked doubtfully, "Why are you wearing thick travel clothes?" Maria smiled and said, "The temperature is low at night. I am afraid that the children will lose their voices, so I will let them wear such thick costumes. " The detective captain couldn't see the flaw, so he had to say, "All right, I agree. Your whole family will go up and sing. This will show that everything is normal after the merger of Austria and Germany. When you finish singing, we will send the colonel to Bremen naval base! " Without fear, the Colonel and Maria stood on the stage with seven children and sang the passionate Doraemon, which aroused the enthusiasm of the audience who loved music at once.
In a burst of applause, the children left in turn and quietly got on the bus outside. Colonel trapp bowed again and again to thank the audience for their applause. Finally, he went to the microphone and said, "Austrian compatriots, I may not see you for a long time." Now, I will sing an old Austrian folk song for you! " His eyes were moist, and he sang Edelweiss affectionately: "Edelweiss, invincible, are like smiling faces, dotted with beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland ..." The Austrian audience applauded warmly. Like trapp, they all have a love of freedom and peace, and they will make unremitting efforts for it.
Then, a warm award ceremony began.
The host first reported the winners of the third prize and invited the winners to take the stage to receive the prize. In the warm applause, the winner of the second prize also took the stage to receive the award with a full face of spring breeze.
Finally, the host excitedly announced loudly: "The first prize, the honor of all Austria, is awarded to Colonel von trapp's family choir!" The applause was even more enthusiastic. The spotlight shone on the stage crowd again and again, and the congratulations sounded again and again, but no one from the Colonel's family appeared.
At this time, the Nazis suddenly realized that the colonel's family had escaped! Zeiler immediately informed the blockade of the border, with Ralph and stormtroopers, and searched the whole city.
It turns out that with the help of the abbot, Colonel trapp's family hid behind the stone forest of ancient nobles. Although the stone tablet is very high, one after another, several children are still scared.
I even want to calm myself down by singing. Maria hugged the youngest Gretel tightly and told her not to make any noise.
However, this small voice still caught Ralph's attention. He let the Nazis go first, but he quietly ambushed outside the iron fence in the stone forest.
After a while, the colonel and Maria came out from behind the stone tablet with their children. Unexpectedly, Ralph jumped out of the darkness and pointed a gun at trapp and said, "Colonel, your game is over!" The colonel is very calm. He asked Maria and the children to come out from behind him one by one. Lisa also begged her ex-boyfriend to say, "Ralph, my father doesn't want to work for Hilaire. Please let him go. " Ralph didn't dare to look at Lisa, let alone the serious eyes of the colonel. He said nervously, "if you go any further, I'll ... shoot!" " The colonel slowly approached Ralph and persuaded him, "You are not that kind of person. You are still a child. Come with us. " Rafe stepped back and shouted nervously, "Don't come again!" However, the colonel has grabbed his gun and said firmly, "Give me the gun and come with us!" " "Ruff trembled, suddenly turned and ran over and shouted," Captain! Captain! They are hiding here! "At this critical moment, two older nuns came running. They had found a gun before this. A nun pointed a gun at Rafe's back and shot the shameful traitor.
The colonel, Maria and seven children broke through the darkness, climbed the snowy Alps and ran to a place of freedom and peace. Everything is as they sing, they will cross the mountains and rivers and take the rainbow in the sky to find their dreams.
