When I learned that the representative of Broadway's artistic style in the 21st century, the world-renowned musical "Mamma Mia" (Mamma Mia!) adaptation of the film of the same name, the original Bankers continued to write and reunite, I was rich in the past ten years. The space is full of expectations:
1. What kind of story will you tell? Sophie X Sky Leaving a Greek island to travel the world life? 2. Aunt May, Uncle Colin, Brosnan, and the old Swedish drama bones were already middle-aged when the first movie was released in 2008. Can the sequel still dance?
3. This is a series of works to pay tribute to the legendary Swedish group ABBA. How do ABBA's popular golden songs naturally integrate into the scene of the film?
For the old fans who have watched the first Mamma Mia movie, the whole movie watching is a process of constantly being touched by emotions, and at the same time constantly receiving surprises.
1. Who was this boy that young Donna met? Combining the memory and the elements of the boy to guess whether it is Sam, Harry, or Bill. When the secret is revealed, will it be interesting to compare the appearance of the characters in the two versions of the youth and the old? (Personally, I think the young Bill's casting is the most successful. The overall face shape is more consistent and the deep eye sockets and affectionate eyes of Josh Dylan are very similar to the young Stellan, full of Nordic romance)
2. Guess and expect which song of ABBA will be sung in this scene? For old fans, I Have A Dream and Waterloo couldn't help but sing along with the prelude, and they couldn't help but sing along silently, especially the classic Dancing Queen in the classics. overflowing, singing silently and crying... I'm sorry I don't have my beloved Gimme! and Chiquitita (but I noticed that the name of the egg boat is Chiquitita) But I added Fernando (and a fun new character specially designed for this)
3. Soon after the opening of the film, I knew that Donna, played by Aunt Mei, had passed away in this film. It is not so much a guess about how Aunt Mei appeared, but rather a scene where Aunt Mei appeared, and there was no Aunt Mei. The sequel is incomplete. (In fact, it did not live up to expectations. While drawing a full stop, it also earned a tear from our fans.)
The opening of the film also quickly explained that Bill and Harry could not come (inner OS: how could this kind of musical comedy film not be a big reunion, give me a face!) I also had expectations, which did not wait for the climax of Dancing Queen! Although Uncle Face didn't make many appearances, he still perfectly continued the style of Harry's character - Sao! There are not many movements, each one is enough... In the group dance, he is still the shining star who is indulgent and enchanting.
4. It's not the first time that the young Donna "Cinderella" Lily has shown her vocals. Really beautiful songs and sweet songs. At the same time, the free and graceful interpretation of young Donna is almost perfect. It also becomes very reasonable for such a girl to quickly gain the favor of three boys when she is young.
5. The overall script story also lived up to expectations. Compared with the first weak script, which was slightly deliberately added for singing and dancing, the script story of this sequel is much smoother. The only dissatisfaction is the part of Grandma Cher, which is a little bit to fit in this big coffee and echo the ending of the first part. "Forcibly add drama" to the happy event routine of the couple's union.
PS. This sequel is very friendly even for new audiences who haven't seen the first part. All the character relationships are introduced very clearly through subtle flashbacks and the current splicing, and the plots and events of the past are also simple. Common, but if you haven't seen the previous work, it will be a lot less fun.
PPS. Like "Love First" and "True Love: Red Nose Day", the director deeply understands the heart of the audience, knows what the audience wants to see in the sequel/finale, and then satisfy them one by one. This experience great! After such a double comfort of feelings and ears, I feel that the whole person is full of warmth and joyful energy, walking out of the theater, singing and dancing all the way home...
