As a film, obviously still has a lot of room for improvement. As a musical film, it does not show the charm of music well, some of which are due to the limited singing level of the actors themselves, and some are due to In the exterior scenes, especially in the picturesque places, the abrupt and loud singing, I always feel that there is no such natural stage sense as . But the whole film is relaxed and warm, the songs are nostalgic and beautiful, and the characters with distinct personalities are added. Spending quality time together as a family, the film does its job well.

Set on a picturesque Greek island, a young daughter tries to have a father she has never met on her wedding day Attended, peeped at her young diary behind her mother's back, and privately invited three most likely people to come to her house. After a lot of excitement, her mother finally found her true love, and her daughter also found her own life. Direction. Family joy.

The plot of a musical has never been the focus of its conveyance, especially a light musical such as "Mamma Mia". There are no difficult political topics, no bleak historical background, and the story is like the freshness of the Aegean Sea. The sea breeze is as simple and pleasant. In fact, after watching the film, what we remember will not be what happened between them. We only remember that they sang and danced happily and lived happily ever after. But in fact, it is right to leave such an impression. It

should be the characterization of this article that requires a lot of ink, especially the three characters are the most conspicuous, the first is of course the old drama bone Meryl Streep Played the mother, then the suave 007 Pierce Brosnan played the father-to-be, and another person, the young daughter played by Amanda, whose natural and genuine performance was not overshadowed by Meryl at all, on the contrary, her performance quite prominent.

Let's talk about Meryl first. After starring in this film, the American media commented on her saying, "What else can Meryl do? A rising opera star is born." How high is the evaluation of the performance. Indeed, Meryl's performance has already reached the point of perfection. From the beginning of the film, she made her first appearance and said "stop growing!" to the three crazy girls, the eyes and gestures, that The mother's love for her children was naturally revealed. Then after hearing the strange responses of the girls, she looked back again, her eyes seemed to say, "Little guy, what the hell are you doing... Forget it, by "Let's go" This kind of micro-phase performance that meets the character's character and the needs of the plot in an instant is Meryl's most powerful acting skills.

Then Meryl's character begins to become overly active and meets three young lovers. Afterwards, she was a little at a loss, and it was a bit unacceptable to see her kicking and kicking on the roof for three men. Later, she was separated from Pierce by the wall, like a boy and a girl talking to each other, which was really chilling. After that, the role returned to normal, and the audience gradually accepted this lively old girl. A song sung to Pierce before the wedding was very comforting. Although it was a bit reluctant for us to accept such a lyrical form of music, May Lil's full of emotions makes it all look so real.


Pierce Brosnan's image is still that 007, no matter how you look at it, it's 007. Although his figure is slightly out of shape, his gestures and deep eyes make him detached The elegant, humorous and suave Bond image in the minds of the audience makes it difficult for him to stay in the same time and space as others when creating a role, and sometimes even think that Meryl is the new Bond girl...
Pierce's singing skills It's not on the same level as everyone else, and the duet with Meryl lacks sparks. Compared to Meryl's natural and full of emotions, his performance looks more slick and formalized. The shaping of this character is somewhat inadequate. In addition to the appearance. Pierce is still very handsome...


Many people say that Meryl is alone in the whole story, but I think the role of daughter Sophie is quite successful, and Amanda's performance is definitely not Meryl's performance. Next, in the scene where the mother helps her daughter wear a wedding dress, the relationship between the mother and daughter is quite abundant, and the two people's performances are highly harmonious, which perfectly interprets this important turning point in the mother-daughter relationship.

Sophie is the first to sing in the whole piece, and she is also the best of all. After she met her long-lost friends at the beach, she shared with them her joy in finding her father, a songA complete and flesh-and-blood character is fully displayed. In the first sentence, when she sings "ah-ah", her raised eyes suddenly distanced the character's image from the two people around her. She looks smart. She was much more cute. Then she sang and read the diary from time to time, and finally expressed her expectations for her father on the balcony. The whole process was completed in one go. It can be said that her successful performance brought singing and dancing elements into the movie. The performance is more natural and easy to accept.

Apart from the character performance, the most attractive thing is the picturesque island, the sea and sky are so unreal, this is also a very important part of the movie that makes people feel comfortable Why?
