There is a passion for life called "Mamma Mia"

Life is short and the world is vast, we should all live poetically.

In 2008, "Mamma Mia" once made me fascinated all summer. I didn't expect that after 10 years, "Mamma Mia 2" once again brought me a surprise. Not only is there a joyous reunion of old friends in the play, but the reunion with "Mamma Mia" many years later is even more unexpectedly moved. The brainwashing divine tunes of the 80s are played in a loop one after another in the film, but I don't want to escape at all, I just want to slowly blend in.

Since you are tired of the unchanging boring life, travel around the world, and then choose a picturesque Greek island to settle, be next to nature, accompany lovely people, sing and dance freely, boldly pursue beautiful dreams, every day The beautiful life of poetic dwelling.

That's right, this is the simple and moving story of "Mamma Mia 2", and it is also my ideal life. So when ABBA's nostalgic dreamy voice sounded, I was in the dark movie theater, and my eyes were moisturized several times.

In fact, the "Mamma Mia" series is not more classic, Hollywood family carnival-style clichés, and there are many mistakes often made in musicals, but I just can't say it is fascinating. Maybe it’s because there are classic melodies that I have treasured deep in my memory, maybe because the characters in it are so cute that they are "a string", maybe because the scenery of the Greek island is too charming, maybe because I am a person who is nostalgic in my heart. ...Or maybe it's just because "Mamma Mia" just described the dream deep in my heart.

That's right, the life of "Mamma Mia" is what I have always longed for. I have dreamed of such a life since I was a child. And when you see something truly beautiful, you won't be reluctant to cry.

I want to choose my life bravely like Donna in the movie. I want to give my imperfect self a chance. I want to break all hypocritical dogmas and all tricks. I want to say goodbye to myself who is not honest and brave enough after thinking about it. I want to go. Sing, dance, create, and love as much as I want. I want to do everything I should do, to make all distant dreams become reality... instead of being shackled by the shackles of life and living Struggling like a dejected dog in the whirlpool, he doesn't live like his true self every day.

Perhaps as Mr. Bo Yang mentioned the "sauce jar culture", our entire nation generally lives too practically, too depressively and too selflessly, and always obediently obediently, especially lacking a passion to transform life. We are always accustomed to thinking hard in the calculations of "thick black learning", and we will not put aside our worries and pursue the rainbow on the cloud as we wish. We always prefer to run out of life within the unchanging rules, rather than experiencing a completely different and full of vitality.

And this is where the story of "Mamma Mia" is completely different from ours.

Whether it’s a musical or a movie version, whether it’s the first or second part, throwing away the singing and dancing coat of the "Mamma Mia" series, there are actually no plots with ups and downs. Even if the passages are barely ups and downs, they are just explaining An ideal in life, that is, a life goal that most modern people dare not dare to achieve. That is to be loyal to your heart, love what you love, and live your life in the way you like.

A person who can follow the call of the heart and insist on oneself in the place where he can't do something is probably considered to be a real life. Otherwise, even if you sit on Jinshan Yinshan and even become the President of the United States, you may become a walking dead. At the beginning, the poet Gu Cheng moved his family to the picturesque island of New Zealand. Even if it ended in tragedy, no one could erase the traces of the passion of life.

Life is short, the world is vast, and poetry should be the destination of life.

When watching "Mamma Mia 2", I once again recalled how I felt when I watched "Mamma Mia 1", and this feeling made me go back to the beginning of my life, naturally thinking of certain fragments of childhood.

At that time, I was not trapped by the world nor deceived by life. In the eyes of innocent innocence, people should dream and become a happy person. There is probably only one standard for happiness that I define for myself, which is freedom. You can sing freely, travel freely, express freely, love each other freely, dance freely, breathe the fresh air freely, sit freely on the seashore and count the stars, freely do everything you want to do...

Looking back at these thoughts, it is inevitable to be naive, it seems like something only in a fairy tale. Now that I think of the past again, it's more like a dream. Fortunately, there are movies and music in this world that help us remember the past and awaken those distant dreams. When the familiar melody of "I have a dream" played in "Mamma Mia 2" again, I finally couldn't help but hum.

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
