Favorite Movie Scenes: The Sound of Music (Gazebo Scene)

So here is my next favorite movie scene post. In this one I combined two scenes, but I guess it's all kind of one scene if you think about it, since the scene with her on the bench when the Captain finds her leads into the gazebo scene.

Anyway, along with The Sound of Music being my favorite movie of all time, this scene is also my favorite and I have a lot of favorite scenes/songs in this film. This one stands out the most for me though. Just seeing Maria being pensive and wondering what she is going to do now that she has found out that the Captain is going to marry the Baroness. Then he finds her sitting there and again confronts her about why she came back, with her saying "I had an obligation to fulfill and I came back to fulfill it." then he asks if that's all and she says "I missed the children" "Only the children?" "Is it right I should have missed them?" which means he hoped that she missed him because he is in love with her too. 

Anyway, he says nothing was the same when she was away and it would be all wrong again if she left and he hoped she would change her mind. I just love the lead up to it. How simple it is, with their feelings clearly there, but it isn't until he says that he and the Baroness called off their engagement that she realizes what he said and then the "You can't marry someone when you're in love with someone else, can you?" She's almost shocked that he said that and that he feels the same way. I mean here is this woman, who has never been in love before, this is all new to her and she brought his family together again and I just think it's all so beautiful. That scene is definitely one of the best movie love scenes. :)

I think it was amazing acted by both of them and they really brought out the emotions in the characters, especially Julie Andrews in her portrayal of Maria. :) The chemistry was there and then singing "Something Good" yeah, there is not enough words for me to describe this scene and beauty and simplicity of it. 

Since I can't seem to find a video of this scene on youtube, I will post a Maria & Georg Tribute video that I found instead. 

Here is the story of their love for you all to enjoy ♥

Favorite Movie Scenes: Rocky 3 (Beach Scene)

So I was inspired by a friend to make posts of my favorite scenes in movies. I'm not going to post them all at once, but I thought I would do one like each week or something and just make a post about that scene and why I consider it a favorite. I don't know how many I will do exactly, but it's just a fun way to talk about scenes that I think deserve awards if they had awards for that particular category. :)

The one that I want to start off with is the "beach scene" in Rocky 3. That scene to me is just the epitome of what a movie scene should be. It has everything, passion, emotion, love... I also just love how Adrian, someone who is extremely shy, confronts Rocky about his what he's feeling. She knows that something is wrong because he's not giving it his all, he's just not "into" what he's doing anymore.

I just think that Talia Shire alone should have gotten an award for that scene because of she just comes out of her shell in that scene and it really shows how much she loves him. Rocky is afraid of losing what he's got and she wants to get the truth out of him (which she does) that he is afraid. She tells him Mickey was a good trainer and that he did want he had to, Rocky is a good fighter and even if he doesn't win, he'll lose with no excuses and no fear. Basically with no regrets. :) I just think it's so amazing and I think Rocky 3 is the best one of the whole Rocky Saga. I may be reaching there for some people, but I think the story is so real and just perfect. 

So for those that like the third movie as much as I do (although I don't know if that's possible lol) here is the scene in all it's glory.
