Before MAMA MIA, I was born after 85 and didn't know about ABBA. But the works of the ABBA band are well-known in Europe and the United States, and many of them grew up listening to their songs.
In the summer of 2008, I was alone in London doing my final struggle with my graduate thesis. After my thesis supervisor gave suggestions for revision in the general direction in June, I suddenly had dozens of journals to read in July. After finishing and finishing the REVIEW, I look at the piles of JOURNALS in various places in the small rooms of the dormitory almost every day, lying on the bed, sitting at the table, and leaning on the bay window. Then, that small eight-square-meter dormitory room became like a cage for me.
It was also that summer, I suddenly found that my student ID can have student discounts to watch movies and dramas, and almost all cultural and entertainment activities in London can have student discounts. So that summer, a person would hold a student card on Friday. Going to the nearby ODEON to watch the latest new film at night has become my relief from the sea of dissertation and my imagination of the new world. Every movie is a new world and new life is very general, free from the boring and single life of thesis.
MAMA MIA, the 2008 summer blockbuster. I remember that my ticket was bought in advance. I think it might be because the classics of ABBA will be circulated forever. The British people also have high expectations for this film, and it must be pre-sold. So I bought the tickets in advance and arrived at the ODEON of LEICHESTER SQUARE early that morning. I soon discovered that the entire projection hall was almost full, and the age span was quite large, with many elderly people.
The music in the movie is all ABBA music, which is familiar to many people present, and it is the first time for me to listen to it, shaking with the rhythm, and falling in love with it. Although it is a bit old, it has been recreated by some British and American actors. The new version after the interpretation.
After the movie was finished, the lights came on and the audience stood up and applauded. Everyone was very happy, and there were no actors present. However, out of respect for all the film crew and their love for the movie, everyone stood up and applauded. I often meet this when I watch a movie abroad. Everyone really feels that I have enjoyed an unforgettable experience after watching a movie to the end. I am grateful for the dedication and hard work of all the cast members of the movie, so they will applaud!
Before MAMA MIA, I didn't watch a musical movie much. After MAMA MIA, I went to the West End of London to watch a WICKED. Began to fall in love with MUSICAL, whether it is a movie or a stage play.
Ten years later, MAMA MIA2 reappeared on the screen. Fortunately, someone happened to be in New York, at AMC EMPIRE 25 next to TIMES SQUARE.
Can see this movie in advance. Ten years later, I have no paper torture. Life in New York is basically idle and leisurely. Going back to the theater and watching this new work, which is almost the original crew, the traces of the years are obvious to me and them.
The second part is a combination of the first prequel and the continuation of the first part. Tells the story of DONNA meeting three handsome guys and the story after she left. Personally, the interspersed is quite natural, not too abrupt. And LILY JAMES, I have forgotten her Sindurila and only remember the little cousin in DOWNTON ABBY, so I like her performance in MAMA MIA2, but my heart is actually a kind of SLUT for the role of DONNA. feel. However, in the 1979 era, the HIPPIE cultural travel culture in Europe and America, the brave spirit of world exploration was the pursuit of young people, so it is not important that DONNA can sleep with three handsome guys for a few days.
When I saw Uncle FAITH came out, I was still very excited, after all, the face of the old British handsome guy is very healed! And the Titanic classic hug on the deck with Daddy 3 is especially funny, pulling the mast with the sassy POSE, it's too rot!
If I did not remember to search for the first part when I watched the second part, I found out that the first part was already ten years ago, and it was already the summer of 2008. It turns out that it has been so long, so the actors are a bit older too. Amanda Seyfried seems to have become popular since this movie ten years ago.
Ten years later, HERE WE GO AGAIN!
