I love watching old movies that I saw when I was a child and didnt understand. I learn so much about the underlying meanings and pick up on things that I would have never understood at the time. Such as.....Adelvise....
The Sound of Music used as (Adelvise) edelweiss as double metaphor:
It is first sung by lonely Captain Georg Ritter von Trapp, a widower, as he rediscovers music and a love for his children, in a rebirth similar to the flower's rebirth after the snows of winter recede.
Second, it is sung as a defiant statement of Austrian patriotism by the von Trapp family in the face of the pressure put upon Captain von Trapp to join the navy of Nazi Germany.
Ah.........Adelvise.........Flowers. It makes sense. -Smitty
