“The hills are alive with the sound of music”– this eternal line from
the song with which the movie begins echoes through our imagination
as we speak of Europe or Salzburg (The Sound of Music). Lush green
countryside with snowcapped mountains in the background is a nature
lovers’ paradise. The movie reviewed in this essay is 1965 classic
musical,3The Sound of Music. The movie is set in Salzburg, Austria.
The essay will discuss the film and the locational geography shown in
the movie. The essay will then discuss if the geography shown in the
movie is similar to the real geography of the area.
The story of3The Sound of Music3is about a young nun, Maria, who is
vivacious and full of life. Maria is sent by the abbess to become the
governess of seven children of an Austrian naval captain, Captain
Georg von Trapp (The Sound of Music). The movie is about the
liberation of the children from their father’s strict regime and their
growing love for Maria. On the other hand, Maria and the captain fall
in love and are eventually married. The film is based on the political
backdrop of the spread of Nazism in Europe. Essentially, the movie
shows the escape of the von Trapp family from the Nazi atrocity.
The movie is shot in Salzburg, Austria (Andrews and Plummer). It
was actually shot in Salzburg, and many of the castles and places are
shown in the movie can still be found in the city of Salzburg. The film
characterizes Europe as a beautiful place – lush green surrounded by
snow-capped mountains. The castle is one that speaks of old age
charm, and the nunnery fits the popular imagination. The movie was
shot in Benedict Convent in Nonnberg, where Maria was a nun
(Andrews and Plummer). The song “Maria” in the movie was shot in
this nunnery. Mirabell Garden and Palace are where the song “Do-re-
mi” was shot (Harrison). The movie also showed the Residenz Square
and Fountain in Salzburg. Further, the courtyard and main front
entrance of Fohnburg Palace was used as the palace outdoor in the
movie (Harrison par. 14).
The movie immortalizes the romantic imagination of Europe. The
castles, the beautiful natural landscape, the clean lakes, and the
palaces that are called “home” create a different feel about the place.
Though the Europe that is shown in the movie is not strictly the city of
London or Paris, one that strives to keep the old world charm intact, it
presents the image of aristocratic Austria that ended before 1918, but
it was being used to woo the American audience (Dassanowsky par.
13).
The real image of the Fascist and Nazi regime was not shown in the
movie. The “cinematic representation” of Austria presents
fictionalized images of Austria that cannot be found in the real
geographic location (Dassanowsky par.15). The peaceful countryside
that the movie shows creates the notion of Romantic Europe,
emphasizing the purity of the countryside and the corruption of the
urban landscape.
The film is a fictionalized representation of Austria. The geography of
the region, along with its aristocratic past, had faded away, and the
film captured a figment of the romantic imagination that creates
Europe in our mind. The movie is not a true representation of
Salzburg, Austria, and does not create the socio-geographic condition
that may validate their claim. The film creates a utopian image of
Europe, while3Le Intouchablesprovides the image of Europe as we
may see today. The two films represent two different times and
geographies. The film definitely should be shown in the class because
this will create a clear picture in our mind as to how American cinema
has fictionalized Europe in the popular imagination.

The story of3The Sound of Music3is about a young nun, Maria, who is
vivacious and full of life. Maria is sent by the abbess to become the
governess of seven children of an Austrian naval captain, Captain
Georg von Trapp (The Sound of Music). The movie is about the
liberation of the children from their father’s strict regime and their
growing love for Maria. On the other hand, Maria and the captain fall
in love and are eventually married. The film is based on the political
backdrop of the spread of Nazism in Europe. Essentially, the movie
shows the escape of the von Trapp family from the Nazi atrocity.
The movie is shot in Salzburg, Austria (Andrews and Plummer). It
was actually shot in Salzburg, and many of the castles and places are
shown in the movie can still be found in the city of Salzburg. The film
characterizes Europe as a beautiful place – lush green surrounded by
snow-capped mountains. The castle is one that speaks of old age
charm, and the nunnery fits the popular imagination. The movie was
shot in Benedict Convent in Nonnberg, where Maria was a nun
(Andrews and Plummer). The song “Maria” in the movie was shot in
this nunnery. Mirabell Garden and Palace are where the song “Do-re-
mi” was shot (Harrison). The movie also showed the Residenz Square
and Fountain in Salzburg. Further, the courtyard and main front
entrance of Fohnburg Palace was used as the palace outdoor in the
movie (Harrison par. 14).
The movie immortalizes the romantic imagination of Europe. The
castles, the beautiful natural landscape, the clean lakes, and the
palaces that are called “home” create a different feel about the place.
Though the Europe that is shown in the movie is not strictly the city of
London or Paris, one that strives to keep the old world charm intact, it
presents the image of aristocratic Austria that ended before 1918, but
it was being used to woo the American audience (Dassanowsky par.
13).
The real image of the Fascist and Nazi regime was not shown in the
movie. The “cinematic representation” of Austria presents
fictionalized images of Austria that cannot be found in the real
geographic location (Dassanowsky par.15). The peaceful countryside
that the movie shows creates the notion of Romantic Europe,
emphasizing the purity of the countryside and the corruption of the
urban landscape.
The film is a fictionalized representation of Austria. The geography of
the region, along with its aristocratic past, had faded away, and the
film captured a figment of the romantic imagination that creates
Europe in our mind. The movie is not a true representation of
Salzburg, Austria, and does not create the socio-geographic condition
that may validate their claim. The film creates a utopian image of
Europe, while3Le Intouchablesprovides the image of Europe as we

governess of seven children of an Austrian naval captain, Captain
Georg von Trapp (The Sound of Music). The movie is about the
liberation of the children from their father’s strict regime and their
growing love for Maria. On the other hand, Maria and the captain fall
in love and are eventually married. The film is based on the political
backdrop of the spread of Nazism in Europe. Essentially, the movie
shows the escape of the von Trapp family from the Nazi atrocity.
The movie is shot in Salzburg, Austria (Andrews and Plummer). It
was actually shot in Salzburg, and many of the castles and places are
shown in the movie can still be found in the city of Salzburg. The film
characterizes Europe as a beautiful place – lush green surrounded by
snow-capped mountains. The castle is one that speaks of old age
charm, and the nunnery fits the popular imagination. The movie was
shot in Benedict Convent in Nonnberg, where Maria was a nun
(Andrews and Plummer). The song “Maria” in the movie was shot in
this nunnery. Mirabell Garden and Palace are where the song “Do-re-
mi” was shot (Harrison). The movie also showed the Residenz Square
and Fountain in Salzburg. Further, the courtyard and main front
entrance of Fohnburg Palace was used as the palace outdoor in the
movie (Harrison par. 14).
The movie immortalizes the romantic imagination of Europe. The
castles, the beautiful natural landscape, the clean lakes, and the
palaces that are called “home” create a different feel about the place.
Though the Europe that is shown in the movie is not strictly the city of
London or Paris, one that strives to keep the old world charm intact, it
presents the image of aristocratic Austria that ended before 1918, but
it was being used to woo the American audience (Dassanowsky par.
13).
The real image of the Fascist and Nazi regime was not shown in the
movie. The “cinematic representation” of Austria presents
fictionalized images of Austria that cannot be found in the real
geographic location (Dassanowsky par.15). The peaceful countryside
that the movie shows creates the notion of Romantic Europe,
emphasizing the purity of the countryside and the corruption of the
urban landscape.
The film is a fictionalized representation of Austria. The geography of
the region, along with its aristocratic past, had faded away, and the
film captured a figment of the romantic imagination that creates
Europe in our mind. The movie is not a true representation of
Salzburg, Austria, and does not create the socio-geographic condition
that may validate their claim. The film creates a utopian image of
Europe, while3Le Intouchablesprovides the image of Europe as we
may see today. The two films represent two different times and
geographies. The film definitely should be shown in the class because
this will create a clear picture in our mind as to how American cinema
has fictionalized Europe in the popular imagination.

shows the escape of the von Trapp family from the Nazi atrocity.
The movie is shot in Salzburg, Austria (Andrews and Plummer). It
was actually shot in Salzburg, and many of the castles and places are
shown in the movie can still be found in the city of Salzburg. The film
characterizes Europe as a beautiful place – lush green surrounded by
snow-capped mountains. The castle is one that speaks of old age
charm, and the nunnery fits the popular imagination. The movie was
shot in Benedict Convent in Nonnberg, where Maria was a nun
(Andrews and Plummer). The song “Maria” in the movie was shot in
this nunnery. Mirabell Garden and Palace are where the song “Do-re-
mi” was shot (Harrison). The movie also showed the Residenz Square
and Fountain in Salzburg. Further, the courtyard and main front
entrance of Fohnburg Palace was used as the palace outdoor in the
movie (Harrison par. 14).
The movie immortalizes the romantic imagination of Europe. The
castles, the beautiful natural landscape, the clean lakes, and the
palaces that are called “home” create a different feel about the place.
Though the Europe that is shown in the movie is not strictly the city of
London or Paris, one that strives to keep the old world charm intact, it
presents the image of aristocratic Austria that ended before 1918, but
it was being used to woo the American audience (Dassanowsky par.
13).
The real image of the Fascist and Nazi regime was not shown in the
movie. The “cinematic representation” of Austria presents
fictionalized images of Austria that cannot be found in the real
geographic location (Dassanowsky par.15). The peaceful countryside
that the movie shows creates the notion of Romantic Europe,
emphasizing the purity of the countryside and the corruption of the
urban landscape.
The film is a fictionalized representation of Austria. The geography of
the region, along with its aristocratic past, had faded away, and the
film captured a figment of the romantic imagination that creates
Europe in our mind. The movie is not a true representation of
Salzburg, Austria, and does not create the socio-geographic condition
that may validate their claim. The film creates a utopian image of
Europe, while3Le Intouchablesprovides the image of Europe as we
may see today. The two films represent two different times and
geographies. The film definitely should be shown in the class because
this will create a clear picture in our mind as to how American cinema
has fictionalized Europe in the popular imagination.
The story of3The Sound of Music3is about a young nun, Maria, who is
vivacious and full of life. Maria is sent by the abbess to become the
governess of seven children of an Austrian naval captain, Captain
Georg von Trapp (The Sound of Music). The movie is about the
liberation of the children from their father’s strict regime and their
growing love for Maria. On the other hand, Maria and the captain fall
in love and are eventually married. The film is based on the political

charm, and the nunnery fits the popular imagination. The movie was
shot in Benedict Convent in Nonnberg, where Maria was a nun
(Andrews and Plummer). The song “Maria” in the movie was shot in
this nunnery. Mirabell Garden and Palace are where the song “Do-re-
mi” was shot (Harrison). The movie also showed the Residenz Square
and Fountain in Salzburg. Further, the courtyard and main front
entrance of Fohnburg Palace was used as the palace outdoor in the
movie (Harrison par. 14).
The movie immortalizes the romantic imagination of Europe. The
castles, the beautiful natural landscape, the clean lakes, and the
palaces that are called “home” create a different feel about the place.
Though the Europe that is shown in the movie is not strictly the city of
London or Paris, one that strives to keep the old world charm intact, it
presents the image of aristocratic Austria that ended before 1918, but
it was being used to woo the American audience (Dassanowsky par.
13).
The real image of the Fascist and Nazi regime was not shown in the
movie. The “cinematic representation” of Austria presents
fictionalized images of Austria that cannot be found in the real
geographic location (Dassanowsky par.15). The peaceful countryside
that the movie shows creates the notion of Romantic Europe,
emphasizing the purity of the countryside and the corruption of the
urban landscape.
The film is a fictionalized representation of Austria. The geography of
the region, along with its aristocratic past, had faded away, and the
film captured a figment of the romantic imagination that creates
Europe in our mind. The movie is not a true representation of
Salzburg, Austria, and does not create the socio-geographic condition
that may validate their claim. The film creates a utopian image of
Europe, while3Le Intouchablesprovides the image of Europe as we
may see today. The two films represent two different times and
geographies. The film definitely should be shown in the class because
this will create a clear picture in our mind as to how American cinema
has fictionalized Europe in the popular imagination.
The story of3The Sound of Music3is about a young nun, Maria, who is
vivacious and full of life. Maria is sent by the abbess to become the
governess of seven children of an Austrian naval captain, Captain
Georg von Trapp (The Sound of Music). The movie is about the
liberation of the children from their father’s strict regime and their
growing love for Maria. On the other hand, Maria and the captain fall
in love and are eventually married. The film is based on the political
backdrop of the spread of Nazism in Europe. Essentially, the movie
shows the escape of the von Trapp family from the Nazi atrocity.
The movie is shot in Salzburg, Austria (Andrews and Plummer). It

entrance of Fohnburg Palace was used as the palace outdoor in the
movie (Harrison par. 14).
The movie immortalizes the romantic imagination of Europe. The
castles, the beautiful natural landscape, the clean lakes, and the
palaces that are called “home” create a different feel about the place.
Though the Europe that is shown in the movie is not strictly the city of
London or Paris, one that strives to keep the old world charm intact, it
presents the image of aristocratic Austria that ended before 1918, but
it was being used to woo the American audience (Dassanowsky par.
13).
The real image of the Fascist and Nazi regime was not shown in the
movie. The “cinematic representation” of Austria presents
fictionalized images of Austria that cannot be found in the real
geographic location (Dassanowsky par.15). The peaceful countryside
that the movie shows creates the notion of Romantic Europe,
emphasizing the purity of the countryside and the corruption of the
urban landscape.
The film is a fictionalized representation of Austria. The geography of
the region, along with its aristocratic past, had faded away, and the
film captured a figment of the romantic imagination that creates
Europe in our mind. The movie is not a true representation of
Salzburg, Austria, and does not create the socio-geographic condition
that may validate their claim. The film creates a utopian image of
Europe, while3Le Intouchablesprovides the image of Europe as we
may see today. The two films represent two different times and
geographies. The film definitely should be shown in the class because
this will create a clear picture in our mind as to how American cinema
has fictionalized Europe in the popular imagination.
The story of3The Sound of Music3is about a young nun, Maria, who is
vivacious and full of life. Maria is sent by the abbess to become the
governess of seven children of an Austrian naval captain, Captain
Georg von Trapp (The Sound of Music). The movie is about the
liberation of the children from their father’s strict regime and their
growing love for Maria. On the other hand, Maria and the captain fall
in love and are eventually married. The film is based on the political
backdrop of the spread of Nazism in Europe. Essentially, the movie
shows the escape of the von Trapp family from the Nazi atrocity.
The movie is shot in Salzburg, Austria (Andrews and Plummer). It
was actually shot in Salzburg, and many of the castles and places are
shown in the movie can still be found in the city of Salzburg. The film
characterizes Europe as a beautiful place – lush green surrounded by
snow-capped mountains. The castle is one that speaks of old age
charm, and the nunnery fits the popular imagination. The movie was
shot in Benedict Convent in Nonnberg, where Maria was a nun
(Andrews and Plummer). The song “Maria” in the movie was shot in
this nunnery. Mirabell Garden and Palace are where the song “Do-re-
mi” was shot (Harrison). The movie also showed the Residenz Square
and Fountain in Salzburg. Further, the courtyard and main front

presents the image of aristocratic Austria that ended before 1918, but
it was being used to woo the American audience (Dassanowsky par.
13).
The real image of the Fascist and Nazi regime was not shown in the
movie. The “cinematic representation” of Austria presents
fictionalized images of Austria that cannot be found in the real
geographic location (Dassanowsky par.15). The peaceful countryside
that the movie shows creates the notion of Romantic Europe,
emphasizing the purity of the countryside and the corruption of the
urban landscape.
The film is a fictionalized representation of Austria. The geography of
the region, along with its aristocratic past, had faded away, and the
film captured a figment of the romantic imagination that creates
Europe in our mind. The movie is not a true representation of
Salzburg, Austria, and does not create the socio-geographic condition
that may validate their claim. The film creates a utopian image of
Europe, while3Le Intouchablesprovides the image of Europe as we
may see today. The two films represent two different times and
geographies. The film definitely should be shown in the class because
this will create a clear picture in our mind as to how American cinema
has fictionalized Europe in the popular imagination.
The story of3The Sound of Music3is about a young nun, Maria, who is
vivacious and full of life. Maria is sent by the abbess to become the
governess of seven children of an Austrian naval captain, Captain
Georg von Trapp (The Sound of Music). The movie is about the
liberation of the children from their father’s strict regime and their
growing love for Maria. On the other hand, Maria and the captain fall
in love and are eventually married. The film is based on the political
backdrop of the spread of Nazism in Europe. Essentially, the movie
shows the escape of the von Trapp family from the Nazi atrocity.
The movie is shot in Salzburg, Austria (Andrews and Plummer). It
was actually shot in Salzburg, and many of the castles and places are
shown in the movie can still be found in the city of Salzburg. The film
characterizes Europe as a beautiful place – lush green surrounded by
snow-capped mountains. The castle is one that speaks of old age
charm, and the nunnery fits the popular imagination. The movie was
shot in Benedict Convent in Nonnberg, where Maria was a nun
(Andrews and Plummer). The song “Maria” in the movie was shot in
this nunnery. Mirabell Garden and Palace are where the song “Do-re-
mi” was shot (Harrison). The movie also showed the Residenz Square
and Fountain in Salzburg. Further, the courtyard and main front
entrance of Fohnburg Palace was used as the palace outdoor in the
movie (Harrison par. 14).
The movie immortalizes the romantic imagination of Europe. The
castles, the beautiful natural landscape, the clean lakes, and the
palaces that are called “home” create a different feel about the place.

that the movie shows creates the notion of Romantic Europe,
emphasizing the purity of the countryside and the corruption of the
urban landscape.
The film is a fictionalized representation of Austria. The geography of
the region, along with its aristocratic past, had faded away, and the
film captured a figment of the romantic imagination that creates
Europe in our mind. The movie is not a true representation of
Salzburg, Austria, and does not create the socio-geographic condition
that may validate their claim. The film creates a utopian image of
Europe, while3Le Intouchablesprovides the image of Europe as we
may see today. The two films represent two different times and
geographies. The film definitely should be shown in the class because
this will create a clear picture in our mind as to how American cinema
has fictionalized Europe in the popular imagination.
The story of3The Sound of Music3is about a young nun, Maria, who is
vivacious and full of life. Maria is sent by the abbess to become the
governess of seven children of an Austrian naval captain, Captain
Georg von Trapp (The Sound of Music). The movie is about the
liberation of the children from their father’s strict regime and their
growing love for Maria. On the other hand, Maria and the captain fall
in love and are eventually married. The film is based on the political
backdrop of the spread of Nazism in Europe. Essentially, the movie
shows the escape of the von Trapp family from the Nazi atrocity.
The movie is shot in Salzburg, Austria (Andrews and Plummer). It
was actually shot in Salzburg, and many of the castles and places are
shown in the movie can still be found in the city of Salzburg. The film
characterizes Europe as a beautiful place – lush green surrounded by
snow-capped mountains. The castle is one that speaks of old age
charm, and the nunnery fits the popular imagination. The movie was
shot in Benedict Convent in Nonnberg, where Maria was a nun
(Andrews and Plummer). The song “Maria” in the movie was shot in
this nunnery. Mirabell Garden and Palace are where the song “Do-re-
mi” was shot (Harrison). The movie also showed the Residenz Square
and Fountain in Salzburg. Further, the courtyard and main front
entrance of Fohnburg Palace was used as the palace outdoor in the
movie (Harrison par. 14).
The movie immortalizes the romantic imagination of Europe. The
castles, the beautiful natural landscape, the clean lakes, and the
palaces that are called “home” create a different feel about the place.
Though the Europe that is shown in the movie is not strictly the city of
London or Paris, one that strives to keep the old world charm intact, it
presents the image of aristocratic Austria that ended before 1918, but
it was being used to woo the American audience (Dassanowsky par.
13).
The real image of the Fascist and Nazi regime was not shown in the
movie. The “cinematic representation” of Austria presents
fictionalized images of Austria that cannot be found in the real
geographic location (Dassanowsky par.15). The peaceful countryside
that the movie shows creates the notion of Romantic Europe,
emphasizing the purity of the countryside and the corruption of the
