Text/Dream Book of Poetry
Just like the combination of music and light and shadow in the previous work, "Mamma Mia 2" after a lapse of ten years still tells the musical that took place on that Greek island. However, in the unfolding of the dual narrative, there is not one The story with dramatic tension like the previous work and the dullness of the plot make the movie not bring the joy of being out of the blue and better than the blue.
Although the actors of "Mamma 2" have returned, the primary and secondary roles and narrative techniques of the film have changed. Under the concept of two-line narrative, one is the confusion of the pregnant daughter Sophie at that time. The second is the retrospect of the past love of mother Dona. In the past and the future, the core of the film is no longer the self-knowledge as in the previous work, but the thinking about how to face life and the future. It is expected that with such a core, it will touch the hearts of every audience in the music like the previous work.
Although there is no big problem with the conception, "Mamma Mia 2" is not a bad movie that continues the sable, but compared to the previous Broadway musical, which is a classic Broadway musical and has a strong foundation, the new work has not much to do with it. It can be said that the original music drama can be used for reference. It is necessary to recreate the original and innovative stories and music. However, the new work is not only inferior to the previous work in the level of song and dance choreography, but also does not do enough in how to integrate the song and dance into the plot. There are many The sudden forced awkward dance made "Mamma Mia 2" completely lacking the smooth nature of singing and dancing in the previous work.
In terms of the plot, although the film has two lines intertwined, the nostalgic card is not cleverly played. With the fermentation of the plot, "Mamma Mia 2" has exposed a serious problem, that is, it does not have enough dramatic tension itself. Supporting the plot of the movie, the established ending, and the story that is hard to see at the moment, what is less is the joy that can make people laugh from time to time as in the previous work, instead, it is boring and boring, which occupies the vast majority of the movie. time.
I hope that through looking back and looking into the unhealed "Mamma Mia 2", although there is still beauty about love, the unsatisfactory singing and dancing and the new plot make it difficult for people to see the humor of the past again. Humor, what it ultimately presents is just a tasteless song and dance performance.
