Every time I hear that song, I think of the Sound of Music! Beautiful rendition. My friend Michael was drafted for Vietnam, but they sent him to Germany for his tour. Michael went to see the Sound of Music when it came out in 1965 or 66. The movie was in English, with German subtitles. When they sang that song towards the end of the movie, he saw many Germans break down sobbing. That era, which was not that long ago, was still in their hearts and minds.

Beautiful sung! I like it! As an Austrian I want to share my opinion: Edelweiß is an wellknown Flower and Symbol for clubs, cabins in the mountains,…. It is even on our two Eurocent coin. (Every European Euro-country has their own Euro coins, but all coins are accepted in all states using Euro.) The song is about the great love for our country, but the song is not our anthem!! The first time I‘ve heard about the movie „Sound of Music“ was, when two of my class mates came back from an english course in London (GB). The other students there mentioned the „Sound of Music“ a few times and my friends were so confused, because they didn‘t know what the other students were talking about. Their hostmum cleared them up and they watched the movie with her. When they came back to Austria they brought the DVD and I and some other friends watched the movie with them. But many Austrians do not know the movie at all. But I have heard that some English teachers watch with their students this movie nowadays, so they are prepared for questions from Native English speakers if they will ever meet some. Fun fact: Years later we watched the movie again, because we had an American friend over. He knows the movie by heart and but our german friend (who was there at the same time) is not able to speak english very well, so we decided to watch the movie with german subtitles. But even though on the DVD there are subtitles in many European languages (Czech, Danish, Finnish, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese and Swedish), German was not included. We were so surprised and on the other hand we thought, that that might be the reason that German speaker do not know the movie!

Nice update from a native Austrian . As an American tourist visiting Salzburg a few years back , there is a special “Sound Of Music “ guided walking tour from Salzburg town center which takes you to the location of all the abbeys , monasteries and the alpine meadow where the the scenes were filmed . I would highly recommend all Austrians interested in the movie to visit it in their homeland !
@anna-mariahaas142 жыл бұрын
@@TheGecko213 Yes, people in Salzburg have very likely heard about the movie, because of the tourists and the shops. I have been in 7 of 9 states from Austria, but I never was in the City of Salzburg just in the state Salzburg. If my Canadian friends (Big sound of music fans) come over for a visit, I will go and visit Salzburg City with them! I do live in the North East of Austria so not near Salzburg. But compaired to the USA everything is "near". 😆 We are just not used to drive long distances!
