The new "Mamma Mia" was released. I heard that it’s the original crew, a lot of new compilations of old songs, and the Greek scenery that I like—familiar posters brought my memory back to the first time I watched the first film on a newly bought DVD many years ago. Happy Holidays for "Mamma Mia". So I made an appointment with my mother on the first day and went to the cinema as a sneak peek.
Like the first film, the new "Mamma Mia" presents the life course of two generations of mother and daughter in the form of a song and dance film, and the story line also inherits the plot of the previous one. This movie focuses on Donna's emotional experience when she was young, and fully shows how Donna and Sophie's three fathers met and fell in love with pictures, singing and dancing. The story lines of the two generations of characters are interlaced and echo each other, and the narrative is richer and more layered than the first.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the film, Donna, the original heroine of the film, has already passed away in the present storyline (maybe Streep's pay was not negotiated). The encounter between Donna and the three male protagonists is slightly different from the previous one on the timeline. The romance with Sailor Bill is adjusted to the point that after her embarrassed breakup with Sam, the whole story will not fall into a depression. among.
If Mamma Mia in the previous film focused on the cheerful, bright and heartless style in the story, then this "Mamma Mia" has added a lot of warmth and a little bit of sentimentality. Although Donna has passed away as a mother, the hearts of the two are closer because of Sophie's unexpected pregnancy. This episode of Donna's pregnancy and childbirth alone on the island touched countless people, including me as a mother. I can appreciate her strength, bravery and persistence, all of which stem from her love for life and her infinite affection for children. As for Sophie, when she herself became pregnant, she truly understood and experienced this maternal love-this is what people often say that you don't know your parents if you don't raise children. At the end of the film, when Sophie brought her child to the church where her mother had baptized herself, Donna’s soul reappeared here. The two performed a song together, and this song will continue with life, forever Stayed in the hearts of every audience.
The young version of Donna is played by Lily James. Although Lily is British, her image is very American, which is in line with the lively, cheerful and free image of Donna in the setting. Her golden skin, big round face plate, and not slender figure may not seem to meet the standards of modern beauty at first. But in the story, it adds a lot of simplicity, kindness, and kindness to the characters. The young version of the new three dads also performed well, especially the sailor played by Skarsgard, who is cute and attractive. The return of the older generation of stars is also full of emotions for the old fans, bringing back memories from many years ago. With the addition of big-name stars such as Cher and Andy Garcia, the lineup of this film can be said to give everyone a reason to go to the cinema.
As a musical, music is undoubtedly must be mentioned. For viewers who like the first "Mamma Mia", this sequel that you have been waiting for for many years was born to meet your expectations-once again the ingenious Abba skewers! It’s a pity that many of the tracks that Abba fans like were not selected in the first part. In the second part, they are presented to the audience with a more exciting arrangement, and there are better than this. Make up? Many classic tracks were re-interpreted by Hollywood stars, and they also showed new charm. When people from a boat sang and danced to the Hotel Bella Donna, which connected everyone, the familiar joyous atmosphere of "Mamma Mia" returned to the screen.
In recent years, there have been continuous emergence of excellent musicals, and most of them are of a good standard. As a sequel to the classic work, "Mamma Mia 2" maintains the characteristics and feelings of the previous work. It has upgraded the narrative technique and injected new plots, which greatly enhances the enjoyment of the film. It is a very worthy summer movie.
