When I Saw People Of All Ages And Persuasions, Including Oprah Winfrey, Proclaiming Their Love For The Movie, I Took Notice
NEW YORK (CBS) My college roommate use to call me a cornpuff. I took it as the musings of the dramatic and hilariously funny actress that she was (she`s actress Wendy Raquel Robinson). And, granted, I was pretty corny. But it wasn`t until my senior year in college and another roommate, that I accepted the name with aplomb - because here I was, https://www.dmzdxe4oo.online taking two hour breaks in between studying for finals, watching \"The Sound of Music.\" Mind you, my friends at Howard University would never get caught watching a classic Hollywood musical. And here I was, watching with bated breath, every scene of the Rogers and Hammerstein classic. The first time I`d seen it, I was in high school and caught the network airing halfway through. It took me back to the sixth grade, when a classmate brought the album for her show and tell. She sang \"Do Rei Me.\" I didn`t get it. But here, it clicked. A year later, I`d find myself in Salzburg, Austria, the setting of the story and the movie. I was on a bus with 20 other self-subscribed \"Sound of Music\" fanatics. Picture a \"Do Rei Me\" sing-a-long in five various accents. Six years later, I met my husband. I tested his resolve - I popped the four-hour tape into the VCR, and watched his reaction. \"I love this movie,\" he smiled. I knew he was a keeper! And why wouldn`t he love it? \"The Sound of Music\" is the epitome of optimism and can-do spirit - a story based on real life events during a heinous era of history. Julie Andrews, what a sprite, a cute little caterpillar that morphed into a butterfly. I wished for my very own metamorphosis. No wonder I`d sing \"Confidence\" before exams and interviews. Here, I thought I was some sort of freak of nature, holding this strange fascination for a film. So when the cast made their rounds over the last week to promote the film`s 45th anniversary, I perked up. When I saw people of all ages and persuasions, including Oprah Winfrey, proclaiming their love for the movie, I took notice. I can now proudly declare to the world what the Sound of Music means to me - how much I loved it and still do. So that`s why I will be buying the digitally-remastered Blu-ray thing-a-ma-jig-it. I want my kids to develop that same connection and fascination. Cornpuffs of the world unite! There, I`ve said it - I feel confident, the hills are alive!
