Welcome back to the Formative Films Project, a podcast series exploring how the movies we watch shape us, entertain us, and help tell the stories of our lives.
The Sound of Music with my good friend Antoinette, who, you know, it had just been far too long since we'd reconnected, kind of talked in depth.
She came with a lot of passion and a lot of conviction for sure, which made it really fun.
We kind of went through her journey to cinephilia, I guess you could say, over the last five-ish years.
which, you know, kind of grew her love for filmmakers like Charlie Kaufman or her disdain for other filmmakers like Christopher Nolan and, you know, just generated a lot of feelings about specific films and filmmakers, which, you know, we... kind of dug through as we kind of went in and around the side of music which is a film that means a great deal to her and that's you know the music itself that's the performances that's the you know the beauty of Salzburg on screen on film which you know is a place that She got to visit on kind of an impromptu trip to Europe.
And so this was just, you know, again, just kind of a real joyous experience, I think, for both of us, if I can speak.

Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer, you know, the trials of taking care of seven children while the world falls apart around you due to the rise of fascism and a lot more.
