The Sound of Music - Maria and the Captain

[classics]

In the beginning of the film, the Captain was so stern and cold. Here he’s like an awkward schoolboy, feeling and expressing true, raw vulnerability. Christopher Plummer brilliantly performs this character’s evolution as the story unfolds.

The most endearing part of the scene first me is when he kisses her for the first time and then gently and tenderly kisses her forehead. Shows how he respects her.

In 2024 this never gets old. I love this romantic scene.❤

Maria's sweet, pleading eyes, which she at first tries to hide from the Captain's own searching eyes, finally meet the Captain's eyes in a moment of revealing truth that neither one of them can deny. And as the Captain delicately draws Maria's lips to his, everything else fades into the night...

I absolutely adore this movie and this very scene. So wonderful Julie and Christopher were together. He was so handsome in this movie. I've loved him since I was a kid and loved the movie since then.

“Well you can’t marry someone when you’re… in love with someone else. Can you?”

The way he looks at her when he says “in love with someone else” melts my heart

[lindseydejesus]

I've always loved this scene. I like the way the Captain gently urges Maria to sit, hoping to put her at ease, while simultaneously becoming a bundle of nerves himself as he tries to gauge the situation and confirm whether she feels the same way he does. Maria still thinks he's with the Baroness, but you can see the tiny glimmer of hope there --- a bit of tender vulnerability --- as he asks her why she came back. And the way he turns toward her before pulling her in for the kiss --- swoon!

I first saw this film when I was 7! 64 now, I have watched it so many times. I think I know every word! Lucky enough to have visited Salzburg. This is my favourite scene.

I think this is my favourite scene in all of Hollywood! This is the very definition of romantic and delicate Sensuality, my heart melts every time I see that scene.

[MortMe]

The filmmaking contrasts between this scene and Liesel and Rolf's kiss in the gazebo are flawless. Rolf's sudden and forceful kiss, that Liesel didn't have time to react to, followed immediately with him running off, compared to this slow, gentle contact, immediately followed with reassurance, affirmation and affection. It shows their maturity and mutual respect, and the stability of their love, as still new as it is.
