In 1999, the musical comedy Mamma Mia premiered at the Prince Edward Theatre in London's West End. Breaking the London box office record, London traffic is even more paralyzed.

In 2008, Mamma Mia! " was adapted into a musical film, starring Meryl Streep, the Oscar-winning actress, and Pierce Brosnan, who played 007.
Ten years later, in August 2018, the sequel "Mamma Mia 2" was released.
Let's review the content of Mamma Mia first.
Single mother Donna and her daughter Sophie live a quiet life in a small inn on a beautiful Greek island.
An adult Sophie is about to enter the palace of marriage, and her dream is that her biological father can attend her wedding, so Sophie peeked at Donna's diary and letters, and found three men who may be her father. , and issued an invitation letter to the three...
In the end, the three men who came to the wedding were willing to be Sophie's father after knowing the truth. Donna and her favorite finally got married. And Sophie decided not to get married for the time being, and to explore the outside world with her boyfriend first.
As a sequel, "Mamma Mia 2" uses a parallel time and space to tell the story of Donna's experience and the current story of her daughter Sophie.
The mother's story is a retrospective of "Mamma Mia 1", telling about how Donna interacted with the three male protagonists at the beginning.
The daughter's story is that after her mother died, she inherited the hotel that her mother opened before her death and planned to hold a commemorative PARTY. And to this end, I invited two of my mother's best friends for many years, as well as her three fathers...
A female college student travels alone after graduating, she has sex with three boys, and then gives birth to a daughter on a small island, but she doesn't know who the father is...
If a movie with this kind of content is made in Asia, oh my god, it must be so tragic and tragic, she must not only be pointed at, live in humiliation, but also live without a living, waiting in the dark for a man to redeem~~
But in Mamma Mia, there is no such tragic passage at all.
Donna, after graduating from Oxford, gave herself a gap year, traveled in Europe, and chose a beautiful Greek island to spend the rest of her life. Because this is where she wants to stay.
During this period, the first man she wanted to inherit the family's banking business had different ambitions from her, so she quietly left.
The second man was her true love, but then she found out he was engaged and broke up with him categorically.
The third man is an informed playboy with whom she had a one-night stand during the slump of their breakup.
Then, when she found out she was pregnant, she gave birth to the child and raised it on her own.
To people and to her daughter, she is neither a virgin, nor resentful of a woman, nor is she hostile, nor does she shirk her responsibilities.
She chooses her own way of life, chooses the man she is willing to date, and bears the consequences of her choice.
It is precisely because of such a brave, independent and sunny mother that she has cultivated an optimistic, strong and tolerant daughter.
So Sophie dared to cancel the wedding to study.
So when she was newly married, her husband said that she had found a long-term job in the United States, and she still insisted on her dream of staying on the island to renovate her mother's hotel instead of following her husband as an appendage.
These mother and daughter generations of women have been loyal to themselves and steadfast throughout their lives.
In their long life, they also have times of weakness and pain, but they still insist on not following the crowd and living the life they want, even though such a life, in the eyes of the world, is not considered a success in the world, and even a little deviant.
But, so what?
This is my heart's choice.
In addition to the affection between the mother and daughter, the friendship between Donna and her two hardcore besties is also very touching.
Donna decides to spend her life on the island, they are unexpected but respectful (instead of yelling that you're an Oxford student, what a waste!);
Donna confessed that she had an intimate relationship with three men in a short period of time, and they were surprised to call her "Lady Mystery" instead of slut-shaming;
When Donna was down, they tried to cheer her up and cheer her up...
This is the relationship between true modern independent girls: we respect each other and help each other instead of trampling on each other and biting each other.
In real life, there is a kind of plastic sister who keeps saying that the other party is their best friend, but they treat the other party as an opponent, beware of it, calculate as an enemy, and use it as a fool.
Such a person, in the final analysis, is still too low in self-cultivation and too narrow-minded. So in the end, they are often lonely and can't find true friends.
As for love, ah, in this drama, you will see that Sophie, her mother Donna, her grandmother, her mother's two best friends, and the three generations of old, middle and young, all pursue and accept love calmly.
For them, love is always a good thing.
They are not afraid of being single, nor do they shy away from divorce, nor do they degrade themselves because of their appearance and age.
They will not be restricted by each other's wealth, status and other conditions. As long as you are the right person, I will love you.
Like it, like it, don't like it, don't like it.
Generous hugs, kisses, and sincere expressions.
Their love, like the scenery in Greece, makes people feel that no matter the time is morning, noon, or night, it is so beautiful.
Yes, it's a female coming-of-age movie, and it's a musical comedy about:
Find your own life direction at a young age;
After determining the direction, firm up your inner choice;
In the face of difficulties, bravely continue to persevere;
Show love and kindness to others as you express yourself...
Always pursue self, love and beauty.
