I think that William and Kate not kissing at the altar is more a royal tradition rather than a church one. The American Episcopal church is an offshoot of the Church of England and we kiss here ;-) I also know other Brits who've kissed.
If I thought about everything I'd like to have seen in this movie that isn't in it, it would probably be a 24 hour miniseries.

I concur. More kissing. And maybe because I am fresh from reading augiesannie amazing Elsa story...but I would like to have seen that dinner scene after Maria returned from the abbey. Awkward! |

kudos bluesatinsashes for outperforming on this thread, beyond my wildest dreams, and also love the ideas of indigoblue, thebeestings and everyone else's. It probably wouldn't' make a very eventful "scene," but I'd like to see something of life at the villa between Georg's reconciliation with his children and the puppet show. But all of your ideas above , yes yes yes. |

But all of your ideas above , yes yes yes. Yes, and include some of how he and Maria came to know each other better. I mean, Edelweiss and the Laendler are lovely moments, but I alway sfeel like they started behaving as a family first, then they fell in love without even realizing it. |

I think they would have been better off reducing scenes with Elsa and Georg walking along the lake + Elsa, Georg, and Max on the deck and filled it with everything we discussed!

1) The announcement of the Captain and Maria's engagement. Ever since I was a kid, I was longing to see a scene where the Captain and Maria announce their engagement to the children. I always felt that there was something missing in between the gazebo and wedding scenes because the two events happened so quickly. We, the audience, needed a smooth transition in order to be eased into the wedding scene. Think about it, we went from the Captain and Maria professing their love for each other (not to mention Maria's first kiss) to the wedding. I was so bummed that there was never a scene depicting the announcement of their engagement to the children. I have been so obsessed with this non-existent scene that I imagined exactly how it would play out. I even wrote out the lines for this imaginary scene but am too chicken to share it :S OK, I finally got the nerve to post this imaginary engagement announcement. It's not well written at all but some people wanted to see it. Here we go  *squeezes eyes shut and presses "Create Post" button* The Captain, Maria, and the children enter the living room. The children are in a cheerful mood and making a lot of noise. The Captain is dressed in the same outfit as in the Edelweiss living room scene. Maria is wearing a yellow suit and skirt (or something to that effect, I haven’t gotten the wardrobe figured out in my fantasy yet).Captain: Come along now children, sit down. I have some important news to tell you. The children quiet down and sit on the floor. Captain: Unfortunately, Baroness Schraeder and I have decided to part ways. Sighs and looks down to the floor briefly. However, I will not go into any more detail than that. Kurt: So you’re not going to marry Baroness Schraeder? Captain: No. A couple of children show looks of astonishment which quickly changes to looks of relief and excitement. They try to hide their expression by looking serious. Captain: However, I wanted to tell you that, exchanging looks with Maria with a smile and gently puts his arm around her, Fraulein Maria and I will be getting married. The children’s faces light up and cheer in the utter joy of the news. They rise and rush over to hug their father and Maria.Brigitta: (to Maria) You’re going to be our new mother! Liesl: (to Georg) Is this for real, father? Georg, with a smile, nods his head.Gretl: This is going to be my first wedding! |

Yes, all of those! Also I am curious about how Georg and Elsa's dinner conversation (or lack of it) went, pre-balcony scene. There are really only 3 things I wanted to see added and they have all been mentioned already. A telling of the kids about their engagement, a kiss at the wedding, and a dinner scene after Maria comes back. And maybe because I am fresh from reading augiesannie amazing Elsa story...but I would like to have seen that dinner scene after Maria returned from the abbey. Awkward! If the scene doesn't exist, Photoshop it.  Maria: Oh my, I've only been away for a week and I've already lost my way around this dining room! or Maria: Oh dear, the Baroness is giving me the evil eye. I hope she doesn't go on like that for the rest of the time. or Maria: Mock schnitzel?! Is this the kind of Welcome Back food I get? Well, I did come back without telling them, so what am I to complain about?  Maria: Why is the Captain staring at me like that? Maybe I should have stayed at the abbey... Any takers on these? And that makes my 200th post! |

As far as scenes go, I would have loved the picnic scene to have perhaps delved a little more deeper into the relationship between the Captain and his children before Agathe died. Maybe focussing on the fact that the Captain used to to sing with them. Perhaps instead of the children telling Maria they 'don't know how to sing', they could tell her 'Father used to sing ever so well when we would all sing together" or something to that effect, setting up the Edelweiss scene.

augiesannie LOL I was only joking about that! Btw, the 1st picture that I did was really tricky. I had to recreate some parts of the wall and window that were never there to begin with. Nonetheless, I loved every moment of this process!  On another note, we got this thread to red hot flaming status! Awesome!

After the huge success of the movie, 2-3 years later they could film a sequel with their new life!!
But what about the songs? maybe this is the reason they did not do it. Who could undertake such a task to write the music of a sequel of a Rodgers-Hammerstein musical??
haha wait, Rodgers was alive then....yees they could do it!!!!

A lot of these have been mentioned already, but I would have liked to have seen more of the wedding ceremony with the vows and kissing. The announcement and asking of the children (which would have been a huge contrast from their reaction to the baroness). More of the post honeymoon would have been nice too. I would have also liked to have seen Georg's reaction to Maria's note. He seemed be so casual about it during the pink lemonade scene (probably not wanting to upset the children more or make the baroness aware of his true feelings), but I am sure he was devastated when he read her note.

Yes, even seeing Georg when he first lays eyes on Maria's note would be fascinating, to see his reaction.

Post by reverendcaptain on May 24, 2020 21:07:32 GMT
I think a lot about this note. What was in it, what was his reaction, what were his true thoughts about why she left, how did he tell the children etc. Anything more on this note would be great for me.
