The hills are alive with the sound of music With songs they have sung for a thousand years. The hills fill my heart with the sound of music My heart wants to sing every song it hears. My heart wants to beat like the wings Of the birds that rise from the lake to the trees, My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies from a church on a breeze, To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls Over stones on its way To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray. I go to the hills when my heart is lonely, I know I will hear what I've heard before. My heart will be blessed with the sound of music And I'll sing once more.

 * B) A SONG: “SIXTEEN GOING ON SEVENTEEN” (Rolf and Liesl love) **

Young, teenaged Rolf delivers a telegram through Franz to the Captain, summoning him in the morning to Vienna to again visit Baroness Elsa Schraeder and Max Detweiler, whom the children regard as their 'uncle.' Liesl sneaks outdoors to meet shy, 17 year-old boyfriend Rolf, who is waiting for her in the garden near the pavilion. Together in the bluish light of the evening, they sing of their innocent young, adolescent love on the brink of adulthood: "Sixteen Going on Seventeen." Thunder, lightning and rain force them into the shelter of the gazebo where they continue singing and dancing in a magical sequence: (Rolf): You are sixteen, going on seventeen, baby it's time to think. Better beware, be canny and careful, baby you're on the brink. You are sixteen, going on seventeen, fellows will fall in line... Totally unprepared are you, to face a world of men. Timid and shy and scared are you, of things beyond your kin. You need someone older and wiser, telling you what to do. I am seventeen, going on eighteen. I'll take care of you... (Liesl): I am sixteen, going on seventeen. I know that I'm naive. Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet, and willingly I believe. I am sixteen, going on seventeen, innocent as a rose... Totally unprepared am I, to face a world of men. Timid and shy and scared am I, of things beyond my kin. I need someone older and wiser telling me what to do. You are seventeen, going on eighteen. I'll depend on you.

 * A SONG: "CLIMB EV'RY MOUNTAIN" (Maria love) **

Sister Margaretta describes Maria's silence to the Reverend Mother: "She doesn't say a word, Reverend Mother, except in prayer...It's strange. She seems happy to be back here, and yet she's unhappy too." In a private conference with the Reverend Mother, Maria confesses why she came back - to escape from her deep, unacknowledged romantic feelings for the Captain. She is persuaded by the sympathetic Mother to return, with the understanding that married love is also a holy vocation: Maria: I left...I was frightened...I was confused, I felt, I've never felt that way before. I couldn't stay. I knew that here I'd be away from it. I'd be safe...I can't face him again...Oh, there were times when we would look at each other. Oh Mother, I could hardly breathe...That's what's been torturing me. I was there on God's errand. To have asked for his love would have been wrong. I couldn't stay, I just couldn't. I'm ready at this moment to take my vows. Please help me.

Reverend Mother: Maria, the love of a man and a woman is holy too. You have a great capacity to love. What you must find out is how God wants you to spend your love. Maria: But I pledged my life to God. I pledged my life to his service. Reverend Mother: My daughter, if you love this man, it doesn't mean you love God less. No, you must find out and you must go back. Maria: Oh, Mother, you can't ask me to do that. Please let me stay, I beg of you. Reverend Mother: Maria, these walls were not built to shut out problems. You have to face them. You have to live the life you were born to live. The worldly-wise Reverend Mother sings the inspirational: "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" to encourage Maria:

Climb ev'ry mountain, search high and low Follow ev'ry byway, every path you know1 Climb ev'ry mountain, ford every stream Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream A dream that will need all the love you can give Every day of your life for as long as you live...


 * C) LOVE IN THE CINEMA ( ****TWILIGHT)**

Bella: "...Why did you save me? You should've just let the venom spread. I could be like you by now." Edward: "You don't know what you're saying. You don't want this." Bella: "I want you. Always." Edward: "I'm not gonna end your life for you." Bella: "I'm dying, already. Every second, I get closer, older." Edward: "That's the way it's supposed to be." Bella: "Alice said that she saw me like you. I heard her." Edward: "Her visions change." Bella: "Yeah, based on what people decide. I've decided." Edward: "So that's what you dream about? Becoming a monster." Bella: "I dream about being with you, forever." Edward: "Forever?" (She nodded) "And you're ready right now?" Bella: "Yes." (She surrendered her neck to him) Edward: "Is it not enough just to have a long and happy life with me?" Bella: "Yeah. For now." (They kissed) (voice-over) "No one will surrender tonight, but I won't give in. I know what I want."
 * LOVE IN THE CINEMA - TWILIGHT **

Resisting the Deadly Consequences of a Kiss This popular romantic vampire film (directed by Catherine Hardwicke), based on Stephenie Meyer's novel of the same name (and the first in the film series), featured a strained, teenaged love relationship - one that was unconsummated and involved dangerous attraction -between: pale, intrigued and mesmerized 17 year-old new-girl-in-school Isabella ("Bella") Swan (Kristen Stewart) handsome, icy-to-touch, immortal vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) Their first dramatic kissing scene was in her bedroom, where he often watched her sleep because it was "fascinating" to him. He told her: "I always want to try one thing. Just stay very still. Don't move." As he slightly gasped, he moved closer and pecked her on the lips. Then she hungrily reciprocated and grabbed his head. They both panted as she fell back on her bed with him on top of her, still kissing. But then he suddenly jumped back and commanded: "Stop it." She apologized: "I'm sorry." He replied: "I'm stronger than I thought," but she felt otherwise: "Yeah. I wish I could say the same." He revealed his major fear: "I can't ever lose control with you." Without sexually consummating their love, he remained with her for the night. In the final tearjerking romantic scene between the young couple, they were dancing at their high school prom under an outdoor lighted gazebo (to the tune of "Flightless Bird, American Mouth," performed by Iron & Wine: "Have I found you? Flightless bird, jealous, weeping, Or lost you? American mouth Big pill looming"). Bella professed her dying love for him. She suggested becoming a vampire to be with him forever, but he refused to make her into a "monster":

** GROUP 5: NEVER AGAIN! **


 * THE OTHER SIDE OF COIN**
 * THE REAL STORY /HISTORY/ NAZISM**
 * VON TRAPP**
 * GERMAN /WAR/**
 * ANNE FRANK-THE DIARY (BOOKS)**

Upon his return to his villa, the Captain pulls down the Nazi banner hanging there. Disgusted, he rips it into two.


 * EXAMPLES FROM THE FILM:**


 * A)** As Rolf throws small rocks at Liesl's window, he is caught by the Captain. Embarrassed, he makes a Heil Hitler gesture, and then delivers a telegram to Herr Detweiler, an apolitical bystander. The imminent political and military invasion-takeover of Austria by the Nazis is a subject of contention between them, and the Captain refuses to surrender:

Elsa: Oh Georg, he's just a boy. Captain: Yes, and I'm just an Austrian. Max: What's gonna happen's gonna happen. Just make sure it doesn't happen to you. Captain: (incensed) Max, don't you ever say that again! Max: You know I have no political convictions. Can I help it if other people do? Captain: Oh yes you can help it. You must help it.


 * B)** Before retiring for the night, the children perform a good-night song for the guests: "So Long, Farewell." One by one, each of them bids the audience farewell (goodbye, adieu, auf wiedersehen, etc.) before exiting. Afterwards, Max insists that Maria join the party - once she changes into more suitable party clothes: "You will be my dinner partner." Another confrontation underlines the tension between the loyal Austrian Captain and a representative of the German Nazis:

Baron: Is there a more beautiful expression of what is good in this country of ours than the innocent voices of our children? Zeller: Oh, come now, Baron, would you have us believe that Austria alone holds a monopoly on virtue? Captain: Herr Zeller, some of us prefer Austrian voices raised in song to ugly, German threats. Zeller: The ostrich buries his head in the sand, and sometimes in the flag. (He turns toward the Austrian flag.) Perhaps those who would warn you that the Anschluss is coming - and it is coming, Captain - perhaps they would get further with you by setting their words to music. Captain: If the Nazis take over Austria, I have no doubt, Herr Zeller, that you will be the entire trumpet section. Zeller: You flatter me, Captain. Captain: Oh, how clumsy of me. I meant to accuse you

**C)** Outside, in a transition that conveys a short passage of time following the marriage, and the peaceful German Anschluss (annexation) of Austria [in March of 1938], Nazi troops march and assemble in the Salzburg Square under large red Nazi swastika banners. Herr Zeller, now a high-ranking Nazi official, is driven to the folk festival's rehearsal, where he appears aggravated that "the only one in the neighborhood not flying the flag of the Third Reich since the Anschluss" is the Captain. Zeller wants to know from Max when the Captain will be returning from his month-long honeymoon trip.

According to Zeller, the Captain will be expected to serve under the Nazis: "When he does return, he will be expected to fill his proper position in the new order." But the festival concert will be held that evening as originally scheduled: "Nothing in Austria has changed. Singing and music will show this to the world. Austria is the same." Young Marta thinks "maybe the flag with the black spider on it makes people nervous." Rolf has become indoctrinated into the Party of the Third Reich and delivers a telegram (from Berlin) for Liesl to transmit to her father. He boasts about the omniscient Nazis: "We make it our business to know everything about everyone." He ignores her romantic invitation: "I'm now occupied with more important matters. And your father better be too if he knows what's good for him."

The von Trapps are last seen climbing the Austrian mountains to freedom in Switzerland, where they can perform to the world. A chorus sings the finale of "Climb Ev'ry Mountain."

The German Invasion: an example of what could have happened to the Von Trapp family.

The rise of the Nazis: Hitler and his party were anti-Semitic, meaning they hated Jews. According to them, getting rid of the Jews would solve all of Germany’s problems. Hitler’s NSDAP ended up growing to be the country’s largest political party in 1932.
