How did Maria ever get accepted into the abbey if she has so many none nun-like qualities? Didn't the nuns have some sort of "screening" process? Some of Maria's characteristics: |
|||||
| Nosiness. When she first set foot in the Captain's home, did she really have to snoop around and pretend to dance in the ballroom? | |||||
| Hard-headed. During her first dinner, why does she keep yammering away even though the Captain explicitly told her to shut up (in much nicer terms, of course)? She keeps disregarding set rules (whether at the abbey or in the Captain's home). | |||||
| Too Energetic that her underwear shows. When she sings "I Have Confidence," she dances around. As she is dancing, her skirt flies up and reveals her slip. | |||||
| Too Charming that the Captain falls in love with her. (Especially when she sits on the pine cone during dinner.) | |||||
We notice that Maria is pretty quick. She is able to sense Liesl's increased excitement at the arrival of the telegram delivered by Rolf. How can she know the signs of love or infatuation when she has never experienced them herself? Of course it is possible that she has seen them before she entered the abbey, but doesn't she say that she spent most of her life in the abbey? So, if she saw these signs, she would have seen them in the nuns themselves (very unlikely?), or she would have seen them when she was quite young and supposedly innocent. |
|||||
In her room, after dinner, on her first night, why does Maria pray so loudly? Is God deaf? Or does she like to hear the sound of her own voice? Should the movie then be titled "The Sound of Maria"? |
|||||
Does Maria fall off the boat accidentally? Or does she do so intentionally for a sensual "wet look"? |
|||||
After the children's puppet show, the Captain sings "Edelweiss." It is so obvious to everybody but herself that Maria is falling for the Captain. How can she miss it when there is so much "soft lighting" around her? The Baroness notices the "soft lighting" and casts a suspicious glance at Maria. |
|||||
At the party, during the fateful ländler dance, at what point do you think Maria becomes conscious (or semi-conscious) of her feelings for the Captain? This dance scene contains so much "soft lighting" that again, the Baroness notices it. |
|||||
Maria leaves the Von Trapp family during the party. When she goes back to find out if the Captain and she have any future together, she wears a blue dress. Is this deliberate? The Baroness has mentioned to her that the Captain couldn't take his eyes off of her when she was wearing a blue dress. |
|||||
 Another example of extremely "soft" lighting |
When Maria and the Captain finally tell each other what they are feeling, they sing the romantic duet "Something Good" in the gazebo. However, the Captain must be a little miffed about this -- Maria starts singing the first line of the song just as he moves in to kiss her. |
