- Here are the Von Trapp kids and Captain Von Trapp,(Christopher Plummer), singing “The Hills Are Alive” in THE SOUND OF MUSIC (1965). When I tell you guys this scene gets me every time, I mean it. There’s just so much meaning behind it and it’s such a beautiful scene. It will never NOT make me cry. 💕 •

Who's still with me here in 2025❤️
60 years have passed since 1965. Most of today's music doesn't make me feel the same way that this song, and other Sound of Music songs, do. This is real music ❤️ ! Thank you Richard Rodgers and Hammerstein II !!
Couldn't agree more .. as wonderful and evocative as it was half a century ago, when I first saw this classic as a school kid ! All the people I saw the movie with, then, have passed on !
I don't care what anyone says, this is the greatest musical ever written. The music is absolutely inspired.
Great job people you should be amazed and proud love and appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock way to go to the actors and actresses who passed away my thoughts are with your family you may be gone but not forgotten still going strong after all these years god bless you guys thanks you guys rock way to go ❤😂😅 ! Joe
. I love true music what inspires love in self and others. This is truly beautiful.
In my opinion this & The Wizard of Oz are the two best musical films ever.
Truly wonderful
There will not be something greater in ages to come.
This scene is what this entire movie is about. A broken man being taught to love again through music. If that isn’t powerful, I don’t know what is.
TO EVERYONE IN THIS CHAT:
*THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD IS DRAWING NIGH.*
REPENT TODAY AND GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS TO ESCAPE ETERNAL DAMNATION!,
John 11:25-26
[25]Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
[26]And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
To me this was the moment that the tide turned in Maria’s favor. This was the game changer. The captain finally saw the good that Maria had done. To me through the children it was his dead wife finally saying it’s ok to love again and to love the children and it’s ok to live again. He finally saw the children as the children and finally let them back in his heart. When they are singing this song this is it this is when they show they are vulnerable and wearing their heart on their sleeves and the captin finally lets his guard down.
Well I don't know I thought like Captain von trapp was going to like some real way back to the Abbey but I guess Captain von trapp decided decided that he behaved very badly and while I'm Maria brought to music back into his own house but their own house because I thought he wanted to like not sing anymore like and like I didn't want to be a singer like he was a singer like a long time ago we're back in my back is own house for him and his children like his own wife or like maybe like I'm two or three years ago but now since farline Maria brought like the music back into like his house like fire line Maria of her own house too I say everything kind of like went back to normal the normal the singing and the stuff in the dancing again so yes of course about that and that's why I know about it happen but I guess it's already back to normal for like both for farline Maria and for Captain von trap and and for the kids again especially their Uncle Max too in like for Elsa barneshraider to Schrader too Ma'am but I say it was beautiful kind of beautiful to me if the sound of the music like the sound of music that I already like watched on this and plus was kind of like him beautiful and happy and kind of sad for me too I say was great oh yeah man it was great man and ma'am I got to tell you it was good because me and my psychics like by my own psychics the name like Jeffrey gorby and like makai Sherman I like for myself too and like the rest of the other gang of mine to like we're the Christian American Rapper singers to feel like the sound of music full movie to see I say that's about it that's why I know
God damn right in the ducts
She brought music and laughter back into the house.
Of course this was the game changer
This is soooo true!!!!!!!
RIP Christopher Plummer. Song just hits harder now that he's gone
#RIPChristopherPlummer You have lived long and prosper!!
Robert, so true. 😢
Yup rip tomb 2021 feb 5 furrnal song elverrise
I was watching this movie last night crying like a baby. Men don't sing like this anymore
He didn't sing this though, Bill Lee did all the singing for the Captain
Captain Vonn Trap was so handsome! If I were his wife I'd also give him that many children.
hahahahahha
Ahem he’s like 90 years old now
Me to
LMFAO PLS
😂😂😂😂
The only thing missing is the 45 seconds before this starts, when the Captain first hears them while he's yelling at Maria. His reaction is the part that gets me ...
Or when he mistakenly calls Maria “captain” ... I think it was a mistake while filming and the producers decided to keep it.
@@DarcyTucker161616 I don't think that was a mistake, rather a freudian slip. The Captain, in the absence of his wife's love, has regressed back to his military conditioning, and when chastising Maria, he calls her Captain as his superiors used to in the military. He has become a reflection of his old commanding officer chewing him out.
@@RobWGibbons i think they meant 'that wasnt in the script and the actor said it accidentally'
He never learned that, the harder he tried to get Maria to do what he wanted, the harder she fought back.
the delivery is incredible....."The Children" cuts me every time
Un cor de ingeri ! Un filmde nota...💯💯💯
“I run to the hills when my heart is lonely” Gets me every time and I’ve seen this movie more than a 100 times in my life!
I can't find the title of movie. Please help
@@youchanervisetgg3835 The Sound Of Music (1965)
Honestly knowing it is the first line in the song the captain sings is extremely poetic. Because he was heartbroken over the death of his wife. He realized in that moment what he was doing. By shutting his children out he was running for the hills. And he would frequently run to Vienna, to escape his lonely heart. I’ve always wondered what it was about the song that makes him appear sad. And I think it was that line. Because he realized what he was doing.
Ditto!
Frederic it’s boy what’s to be man like you don’t dare so him how 😰💔
Rest In Peace Christopher Plummer. This movie is magic because of you.
Bill Lee was singing, not Christopher but he’s was still great in this film
@@aal3yiah really??
@@aal3yiah Kinda wish I didn't know that
@@emandem2024 sorry
Always better to know the truth
Why does bring so much emotion out of me? I get so tender the kids voices and his voice brings a calmness over me.
@@edwardporowski4506 totally understandable man just the thought even makes me cry.
Ikr
I understand 🧡💗💚💛💕
And the children are incredulous that their father is singing. He had banned music from their lives as it reminded him of his wife. Hearing the children sing so beautifully touched his soul - along with Maria's help.
nostalgia is a strange emotion 😢
That pause, as he stops singing and finally unbends and reaches out to his children....gets me every time. Played to perfection by a man who mostly didn't want the role and was frequently obnoxious or drunk during filming. That wee scenes shows the talent he had. Loved him as an actor, and had he never done anything else, would love him for this role alone. RIP Christopher.
Well damn.
That... and for me when Frauline bent her head and smiled, knowing what just unfolded... and the depth of what it meant.
Jesus loves you!!
@@awesome346 Yes he loves us all more than we will ever know ❤❤❤
Как называется фильм?
Hey world, that’s my Dad, the late GREAT studio singer Bill Lee whose actual voice you hear. To appease Plummer’s ego, they let him record his own voice during the filming, then hired my Dad to go in and replace it all, or “loop it” as they say. So he also sang Edelweiss and that lovely duet with Julie Andrews written for the film, Something Good. Dad also sang for John Kerr, Lt. Cable in South Pacific and knocked Younger Than Springtime right out of the park. So proud to report all this!! RIP, Dad, I miss you so much
That’s cool. Didn’t your dad also do the singing voice for Rodger Radcliffe in 101 Dalmatians a few years prior
@@superjackster0165 Probably but I don’t know
Diana, I'm so happy to be able to write you and tell you what a wonderful voice your father had! I've read a lot about The Sound of Music - I first saw it when I was 5 in the theatre - so I was quite aware of Bill Lee's role in this, but I'm glad I can tell you how much I love his voice! It is so warm, so expressive, and of course so musical and perfectly pitched with the words so well pronounced, and he also did such a spectacular job matching it with the Captain's (Christopher Plummer's) speaking voice and character.
I think your father's voice really really helped the musical very much, and it provided the beauty and warmth and great strength that Christopher Plummer had not yet learned to develop in his own voice. As he himself later recognized, he couldn't sustain a note! His acting was tremendous and stunning, and your father's voice matched that perfectly! You must be so proud! Many thanks to your father for his beautiful contribution to The Sound of Music - my very favorite movie!
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Who is still loving this song in 2024? Its such a beautiful part of the movie.
Actually cried watching it today. It's such a beautiful moment of the family finding each other again after their grief. Amazing movie and music.
@@sarahjames8287 One of the most under rated movie moments in my opinion. So beautiful and genuine.
One of the greatest movies ever produced no cap
⛔️🧢
Music heals the souls 😊
Yeah but NOT THAT FAST...Hollywood is hilarious. 🤣🤣
@@yama5182 Hollywood is a lie, but a beautiful one 😊
@@yama5182 Its a start
Hands down one of the best scenes in the movie. The Captain was always hinted to love music/singing, but he stopped when his wife died. His children reminded him of what he had lost, what he still had, and what kind of happiness he could still have. Brings a tear to your eye, as nothing can bring out your inner kindness quite like The Sound of Music
I feel the same as you do. Impossible not to shed a tear in front of this scene. I always have chills everywhere.
Me too! It was on tele the other night and I started sobbing, trying to hide it by coughing, lol. Also electric goosebumps through me!
I don't see enough people talking about this but the desperation the children had to go and hug him especially the younger ones hit me so hard. The actors and actresses they casted were phenomenal
So true. In a movie where every scene is enjoyable, this scene always stands out. I think its where the kids do their best acting. They all sing great but here they show without any dialogue, how much they have missed their father and the joy they feel at having him back.
You know you’re getting old when you’re attracted to the father 😂🥰
😂
Lmao ahahhaha 😂
oh god haha
HAHA
Old? I knew I was gay for this man before I was old enough to know what gay was.
Too impressive. Still watching in 2024.
Maria may be a "problem", but her lack of filter just saved that family when she stood up to the captain =')
The irony was she brought order through giving the family love when he thought he could bring order by being tough and harsh.
The scene before this one, and including this one, were the best scenes in the film.
How is she a problem? 1) she brings music back into the house 2) the captain falls in love with her 3) the children have a mother again
@@Blackcat21943 Did you forget the song "How do you solve a PROBLEM like Maria?"
@Daniel Selk no
I watched this movie a million times in my childhood. I didn't feel anything about the scene, just nice to listen to the song sung by these children.
I watched this again as an adult, and I became emotional, like tears all over my face!
exactly the same thing with me, I never understood the movie as a child, and just enjoyed the singing and stuff like that, but watching it back now I understand it all is really moving 😢
Hola amor Fran soy MiREYA quiero verte Fran MiREYA novio de MiREYA Fran casar MiREYA Fran hoy 😜😜🥰🥰😘😘
Same
Me too… such a moving scene, harmonization was unreal!
I love how his whole demeanor changes once she tells him, it’s the children who are singing. Suddenly sparking a feeling he had once felt. Then when he finally sees them singing and finally joining, the way the words reflects exactly what he is experiencing.
Always brings tears to my ball, my eyeballs.
Sad fact: This was the last scene filmed in the entire movie. They already had the rest of the scenes completed. The actors were pretty upset.
So why were they upset
@@Himothy7877wouldn't you be if you spent a lot of time together, singing, acting and bonding together and then it all comes to an end in this scene
@@aixiu7036I’d be devastated! I’d want this to go on forever like the beautiful dream this film is…
This moment in the movie is more than just the turning point where the Captain's hardened heart melts. It also shows the love his children have for him. Think about what led to this scene: The children had just been scolded and sent to their rooms to change ' report back here immediately!' They knew they were in deep doodoo. But, they also knew how their father felt about the Baroness and how important it was to him that they make a good impression. So they took it upon themselves to go down and do their performance for her. Maria wasn't there to coerce them. She was outside. The children elected to go do that because they loved their father despite how stern he was and they wanted to please him. Liesl picked up the guitar. The children arranged themselves they way they had rehearsed. They deliberately disobeyed the Captain's orders to report back to him and instead they did this simple gesture on his behalf. It really speaks to the relationship and when the Captain finally welcomes them into his arms after, you can feel all the tension has finally evaporated. Love this scene. Especially as a single father myself.
0:38 his voice is so soothing to the soul!! Omddd you can feel it inside! He’s got such a good voice doesn’t help that he’s so handsome
That’s not Christopher Plummer singing... he was dubbed by Bill Lee from the group The Melloman (IMDB).
Marty Nowak even in the original version his voice is pretty awesome, honestly would’ve personally preferred it
The hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
That rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies
From a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over
Stones on its way
To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I've heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I'll sing once more
The harmonies...I shall never tire of listening. LOVE this movie.
My husband and I were married February 28, 1976…we watched this together On the 29th in a cabin in the woods on our honeymoon. It came on the little TV and I found out it was the first time it had been on TV in this country. I had never seen it before. Such a beautiful movie ❤ We are still married and will soon be celebrating 49 years of marriage in February 2025❤😊God gave me 2 amazing gifts, my husband and this movie in February 1976
Fantastic story! Thank you for sharing this with everyone!
What a heartwarming and romantic story!❤ Thanks for sharing ... made me smile.😊. Many more blessings to you and your beloved!
I love this movie

This is extremely beautiful...

Rest in paradise Christopher, bon voyage captain 💔
The look in his eyes when he hears his children singing makes me cry.
‘I go to the hill when my heart is lonely.’ That’s what I do everyday in Central Park. Peace be with you, Christopher. And thank you. - NYC, 2/5/2021
As a widower of children, I can relate to every inch of the emotions that Captain feels.
I'm not crying, I'm just peeing trough my eyes...
🤣
My Grandmother had a saying: "the more you cry, the less you pee".
Now that’s a new expression 😂
#RIPChristopherPlummer You have lived long and prosper!!
Do you eye infection from all those pee tears!?
😭😭😭This scene gets me every time. It's like they been just rediscovered each other.
as a canadian, i am so sad today i grew up watching this movie 🥺 rest in peace christopher plummer
Another example of how healing music can be🎶
Indeed
It’s genuinely incredible how much music can do, and this movie is one of the best examples of how music can heal people, make people happy, and help people bond ❤
this will forever be my favorite movie
I just wish it was still the 1960’s. I don’t know why! Lots of people wish to be born in the 90’s and 80’s for the vibes but I like this era. Really old fashioned and calming. Just the way people dress and the nature and stuff was so lovely
I agree. It was actually set in the late 1930s.I was born mid 60s and I too wish I could have lived at a more peaceful time. Growing up in the 70s was good, but even better earlier on. A kinder world, except for WW2 of course.
@Tomás deadasss tho
Not everyone could live this way in the 60s unfortunately
One of the most beautiful musical scores.
Brigitta rushing to him and clinging to him the way she does when he extends his arms just tugs at your heart strings. Like she’s missed him as much as she’s missed their mom 🥺😢💔 such great acting from a young girl.
This is so emotional. You dont even need to see the rest of the movie to feel it. The kids reactions say everything.
Rest in peace Christopher Plummer - you have made such a great impact on so many people ❤️ God please look after him 🕊
RIP Christopher Plummer. Your role in The Sound of Music will never be forgotten.
Yes RIP and Mary Martin wanted him to star with her in the original stage production in 1959, but he felt he was too young, I think he would have been very good in the original stage production.
me in 2024 !!!!! I LOVE THIS FILM SMMMM is my all childhood( I am 15)
this scene is perfect. great acting, great singing. JUST PERFECTION. christopher plummer looks younger when he sees his children singing. thats incredible filmmaking.
In honor of the passing of Christopher Plummer I will be watching this classic tonight. There won't be a dry eye in the house.
One of the greatest films of all time and this is my favorite scene. Very touching, very emotional.
This film is so colorful and so well shot that certain scenes look like paintings come to life. As a kid I grew up singing some of these songs in chorus.
Rest in Peace Christopher Plummer.
I remember the first time I saw this movie on the VHS with my family years ago when I was only 6 years old I misunderstood the captain in the beginning, before this scene.
I would not necessarily say I hated him in the beginning, but when he first appeared I remember being a little bit scared of him because of the way he ran his household and he never allowed his children to have fun.
when this scene came it opened my eyes to reality of why he was the way he was. he was not a bad man. he was lost in the grief over losing his wife.
I really loved the way Maria was with the children. she made the whole family come alive again.
she also understood the children a lot more then I think former Governesses did. the other governesses left because they thought the children were badly behaved. Maria understood right from the start that all the children wanted was their Father's Love
That's superb understanding of psychology for a 6 year old! You must be an old soul!
@@jennyf1885 that's what comes of growing up with musicals.
I miss Christophe Plummer I’m crying thank you mr Plummer for sending me 2 autographs of tour
I don't know anything but...
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely... I know I will hear what I've heard before
And I speak Spanish but this music is so awesome that all the world loves it
You got it xx 🙏🏻 🕊 🌸 💕
Well said xx 💛💙💛
Yet the walk is so much more than than sadness, that’s just a part of the walk 🕊 🌸 🙏🏻
And you’ll sing once more, aka again 🕊🕊
This scene gets me watery-eyed every time.
This scene just cuts right through me. Music is an incredibly powerful thing. It’s touching to see him find his way back to it, and his family as well
This song makes me tear up and sometimes cry and I don’t know why. It’s so beautiful.
Whenever I'm sick I have to stop and listen to this version of this song. Don't know why, I just feel better emotionally because it's such a beautiful version
This is a moment in this film that always makes me cry. The Captain has closed himself off in his grief for ages, even from his children. And when he hears them singing, he sees that there is the possibility of life, of joy, of happiness, after his grief and he joyfully joins in with his children’s song. They’re stunned but when they realise that their father is back with them, they joyfully run to hug him. The emotion just always hits me.
And when the Captain sings Edelweiss on the stage, kind of as a farewell to his beloved Austria, his sadness his palpable. Makes me cry as well.
Watching this in honor of Chris. I cried 😢 . RIP Christopher!! 😍
This brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful.
Singing on the hills In Heaven. RIP Christopher Plummer
Can't watch this with a dry eye. When the children join in with their father--such a beautiful moment.
This really is magnificent.. that palpable tension as they reach the end of the song, followed by his giggle and them hugging him. There’s reflection here on all angles: there has been no music in the house since his wife passed away. The kids were used to him being strict, so that brief tense moment before the cuddle was wonderful - like he had opened up to them again.
All thanks to Maria.
He is too remembering what made him happy in the past, so seeing his children sing that sing for him, impacts him. It’s beautiful!
So much love and music in this film, Oh why has Holywood losts is way
Such a wonderful movie to grow up with like I did I must’ve seen it 20 times
Oh my…. To find this again as an adult… I grew up on this movie… the two vhs pack haha wow. Melts my heart
My favorite scene...the background singing gets me everytime
Such movies like Sound of Music is made Once in lifetime even after almost 60 years feel like worth seeing & unforgettable
This is one of my favorite scenes from this movie. When the Captain hears his children singing, it's like you can almost see his heart melting by the expression on his face. And when he starts singing, that's when I start crying. It's so beautiful.
😭❤️💛💚💙💜
I ain’t ashamed to say it, this is one of my favourite movies of all time, if not my favourite.
This part is so sweet it always brings tears to my eyes.
I watch this scene so many times, the love from his children and him... you can't beat it.... they needed a real woman Maria to love them all ❤
And that right there is how to make an audience fall in love with the male character…. 🥰 honestly you can see the exact moment that he realises that he has shut his children out and at the end the weak little reaching motions, like he is scared to touch them and he is then overwhelmed by love for them, like a part of him was missing 😭🥰
His heart melted and remembered everything he had forgotten.
my favorite part of all sound of music scene. I prefer this reprise over maria's version. it has so much pureness and tranquility in the beginning with children's choir. and then the father joins the singing and children sings the chorus...it really hits hard
One of my favourites!
Cant believe he’s gone now he will be missed 😢
Such a beautiful scene. The kids are so shocked when their father isn't coming out at them saying they need to stop singing, and he's opening his heart back up to them. Their tears are how I think everyone feels when watching this, tears of happiness.
RIP Christopher Plummer and thank you for brightening up my childhood.
학창시절에 정말 감명있게 본 영화인데 수십년 지난 지금보니 그때의 감정이 되 살아 나는것 같습니다.마음의 평화를 주는 음악이 너무 너무 좋습니다.
Glad my mother brought me up on watching movies like these. Very wholesome & good feeling. Nothing like classic movies. Only a select few nowadays I'd be willing to watch but everything is just dark. Movies filled with propaganda & hate.
Nostalgic😍
This just made me calmer
This scene makes me happy cry EVERY TIME! Such a beautiful and emotional way to reconcile with the family. It went completely over my head as a lord (I was first introduced to this film at six by my mom who’s a fanatic of this film) but as I got older I started to understand the film more and began crying
Deep meaning and emotion
Bless you for all of your work, Christopher Plummer.
So classy..."The Hills Are Alive" The Sound of Music. 🎶 1965 ❣️💯
The lyrics and the emotion in this scene!!! So beautiful - leaves me in tears every time!
Me too
I swear this song soothes a part of my brain that you can’t even reach
By the time the Captain started singing, my eyes were watering in nostalgia already. I grew up watching this.
What a sweet moment
This great actor just passed away today...Rest in peace!!!
The children sing so beautifully job well done after all these years you should be proud appreciate you guys and the memories thanks ! Joe
Iconic scene.. My favorite movie of all time.. RIP Mr. Christopher Plummer
子供たちだけで唄うサウンド・オブ・ミュージックのハモりは最高です。胸が締め付けられる位素敵😂
Of course, it WOULD be Brigitta who is the first one to "break ranks" and rush to hug her father. Of all his children, she's the one who is the most direct.
In the live version she is the one who flat out tells Maria that her father was in love with her.
This is brilliant!
THE BEST SONG MUSIC AT IT'S FINEST, HANDS DOWN
There are no perfect fathers, but a father will love his children perfectly.
My eyes always glaze over over when he stats to sing
Soooo beautiful
