MAMMA MIA (the film)!!!!!



A film summary (8-10 lines) with Simple Past:


On a Greek island called “Kalokairi”, a 20-year-old bride-to-be Sophie Sheridan posted three wedding invitations to three different men because she wanted to know who is her father. Sophie’s mother (Donna Sheridan) didn’t know that Sophie invited the 3 men of her young life. Sophie is getting married and wants to find her father before her big day arrives. There is only one problem: she is not sure who he really is. After reading the old diaries in secret from her mother Donna, she discovers that her father is one of the three suitors in the past. Although she knows that her mother would not have consented, Sophie invites all three. Sophie tried desperately to keep their presence secret, but it's not long before the secret is revealed and the fun began.

Dancing Queen: We cannot but observe the language, that

transmits to us the important aspects and nuances of our kind. It's a girl and she's dancing. And we are nudged to “watch the scene”, and “dig in”. And the girl is now described by the word “queen”, and this queen is seeking a King, and anyone will do.

I have a dream: I think this song was made to give enthusiasm to keep going on and maybe don't stop at those little problems. It's just because the life goes on, and be sure that all of us, someday, will cross the stream.

Our last summer: I think ABBA's songs, including this amazing OUR LAST SUMMER are timeless, because they wrote the songs from their heart, from their own bittersweet, from their own loss, so they speak right to the listeners' heart. Also this song is about the special summer.

Super Trouper: It’s about the memories of one Trouper (Donna and the Dynamos) when they were young.
