Sound of Music

I've been hearing about this movie for a while, but I've had no interest in it. I recently was made to watch it, and found it not lacking. The first half reminded me eerily of Yellow Submarine, with music bringing happiness and joy back into a place previously lacking said emotions. The second half was an interesting statement on the conflicting views of a veteran given the chance to fight again under the command of his enemy. I found however, that the ending seemed rushed, and not well executed. The film was also incredibly cheesy, but then again what is a musical if not cheesy?
