Just the day before her daughter's wedding, three men in Donna's life appeared in front of Donna at the same time. It turned out that her daughter Sophie stole her mother's diary and took these three men who were most likely her biological father in her mother's name. invited here. Listening to this opening, you might think this is a clichéd story.
However, the actual development of the story is much more heartwarming. The three men are proud to be 1/3 of Sophie’s father. It doesn’t matter who the father is. To solve the misunderstanding and come together again. This is the representative of the 21st century Broadway art style, the world-renowned musical "Mamma Mia" (Mamma Mia!) 2008 adaptation of the musical comedy film of the same name.
The actor who plays Donna in the film is the Oscar-resident actress Meryl Streep, who is affectionately called "Aunt May" by fans, and the one who angered Trump when she received the Golden Globe Lifetime Achievement Award. That sharp Aunt May.

And the actors who play the three dads speak loudly, namely "Veteran 007" Pierce Brosnan, Swedish national treasure actor Stellan Skarsgård and "The King's Speech" Colin Firth (Colin Firth), the king in "Ace", the British gentleman "Uncle Face".
Today, these superstars reunited after a ten-year absence to present "Mamma Mia 2" to the audience. You must know that these "post-50s" old actors are now in their sixties. Even if there is a third part, it will be difficult to get together again.
"Mamma Mia 2" broke the "weak plot" routine of musical musical comedy that was criticized by the audience. It introduced Donna and three dads in their youth, and meticulously reproduced those loving pasts, so that the plot and emotion were rich. , used the plot to show the audience the confidence and independence of women, and touched the hearts of old and new audiences with emotion. Because of this, even viewers who haven't watched the first part of "Mamma Mia" can see the full picture of this love story.
[Go to experience, you will know if you want it]
In the film, Donna began to travel around the world after graduation, looking for her future all over the world, and finally determined that it was Greece, and also met these three men in her life during the journey.
If you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, what you hear is "Why do girls need such a high degree? Find a job and get married early", and if you want to work hard in a first-tier city, what you hear is "Why are girls so far away from home?" What you hear is "You are inexperienced, it may not be better than staying here" ... Many girls are kidnapped by these voices and act as good girls in the eyes of relatives and friends: obedient, filial, Stable job, married to a good family.
However, our life is only our own life, our life is only once, we are not an accessory to anyone, why should we live for others, a job, an opportunity, only by experiencing the bitterness and sweetness of it in person, can we If you know whether you want it or not, just do it when you are young, go towards your dream, work hard, and you will not regret it. Singing the original dream in KTV is sad. What's more, it is possible to meet a male god like "Uncle Face" while chasing his dream.
【Love like you have never been hurt】
In the film, Donna is alone in a foreign country, and she also encounters a deceived "scumbag" who is already married, but she never gives up the ability to use her love. She loves animals, and her kind heart has allowed her to harvest exotic homes. She loves children, and her kindness and strength have allowed her to harvest a daughter who inherits the same qualities. When love comes again, she still chooses to believe.
Now we are repeating the cycle of "don't believe in love" and "believe in love again". When we are hurt, we decide to close our hearts and stop revealing them easily. "Love is incompetent" seems to be the standard for young people nowadays.
In fact, we have always had the ability to love, and there will always be ups and downs in life. What we can do is to have confidence and try to love as if we have never been hurt. A world that is explored with love will always be rewarded in one way or another. What's more, the self-confidence, strength and independence shown in the process of love will affect the people around you and the next generation.
These rich expressions in the film are all released through ABBA's golden songs, and in fact the entire "Mamma Mia" series is a tribute to the creation of this legendary band, who influenced the world in the 1970s and 1980s, and today's records. Still maintaining a million sales each year. It is precisely because of the creation of songs that every song and dance conveys the heart of the characters with great precision and promotes the development of the plot. In the beautiful and touching melody, you can appreciate the ensemble of love, friendship and family affection. The perfect piece.

It is a pity that the theater is still subject to the old concept that Chinese audiences cannot appreciate musicals. There are very few theaters for such an excellent musical comedy. You must know that "Mamma Mia" received a high box office of 620 million in 2008. In the UK, it defeated the box office champion of famous films such as "Batman: The Dark Knight". "Mamma Mia 2" was released in North America for more than ten days, and the box office has easily exceeded 70 million US dollars.
I hope that the theater manager can also understand the point of view conveyed by the "Mamma Mia" series, love this film, and try to arrange multiple films, so that more audiences in China can appreciate this good film that uses music to spread beauty.
