It's time to talk about Kurt! The easy going Kurt, who delighted in making other's laugh.

Personally, I've always sort of wondered what Kurt's relationship with his older brother is, because I feel like we don't see them interact much. (Maybe I'm wrong, I sadly haven't watched the movie in a while) I imagine Friederich would feel like he has a responsibility to be an example to Kurt or something since they're the only boys.

That's interesting. I never really got they weren't close. During MFT Friedrich, tried to blame them being scared of the thunderstorm and running to Maria on him. Which I felt was a very sibling thing to do. I do hope that Kurt doesn't follow his brother's lieing ability.

Really? I didn't see that as a 'lying' thing so much as a 'trying to pretend he's a man' thing. Though I suppose that's splitting hairs, since it is an untruth.

Which I felt was a very sibling thing to do. I love that you mentioned this because I've always liked how real they made the children's relationships with each other at times. Like Friedrich trying to make it look like Kurt was the only one scared, or Kurt saying "Why would she want to see you?" at the dinner table, or Friedrich biting Gretl's finger (notice how it's always the boys starting it? true to life). You do get the feeling that they are closer than siblings would normally be because they had to stick together after their father drew away, but they still have their little moments.

in my headcanon, Friedrich and Louisa are close, Brigitta and Kurt are close and Marta and Gretl are close. Liesl doesn't need a governess... so Maria is her confidant.

Curiously, this looks oddly like a von Trapp (was she called Maria too?!) showing Kurt how to dance the Laendler...

Kurt's scene with the high goodbye in the goodnight party scene never fails to crack me up, especially coupled with Georg's reaction

I think the Kurt-Friedrich relationship is one of solidarity against 5 sisters, but also one-upsmanship like in the thunderstorm scene, where they're trying to prove which one is tougher than the other.

Why does Kurt thinks that "grown up men are scared of women"? His father doesn't seem scared of women. Who else would he be basing this opinion on?
BTW, I love this whole conversation between the children at the party. I think it's adorable.

BTW, I love this whole conversation between the children at the party. I think it's adorable. What a great question! I’ve never thought about this before (I always get stuck on Gretl’s “I think the men look beautiful.”). Perhaps Agathe really wore the pants in the family when she was alive? I can’t see Georg being scared of her really, but maybe reluctant to upset/disappoint her?

I can't see Kurt remembering enough of his parent's relationship to have gotten that impression. But I really have no idea where he would have gotten that idea, either.

Maybe if Agathe was a well-organised person and adept at running the household and her children, and Georg was away for long periods in the Navy, then when he came home from time to time, (like many men) he may have deferred to Agathe on domestic matters and anything relating to the kids. I believe he was a submariner, in which case he may well have been away for months on end, and all he wanted to do at home was relax and switch off a bit.
So maybe the kids' impression was that Agathe 'ruled the house', giving them the idea that their father was not one to contradict her.
