Per Scriptum E. Wesley - Mackinac Center InternToday marks the 45th anniversary of the release of Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music. No, The Sound of Music wasn't an event of liberty, but rather a movie about family victory over impending tyranny. Moving from the internal to external, the movie depicts how Maria brings joy and love to the broken Von Trapp family, and unites them just in time to escape the clutches of the Nazi takeover. Captain Von Trapp marries Maria before Germany's first real step to takeover Austria. The Captain's unwavering patriotism and resistance to Nazism combined with Maria's unfailing love for the Captain and his children overcome the evil of Hitler. At heart, The Sound of Music is a face-off between the virtuous Christian family and the tyrannous state. It is a classic in every sense of the word.
