Mama Mia!

Clear blue sky, waves beating, beautiful landscapes, what better way to do a musical in such a perfect scenario? I was mesmerised by the captivating location, Aidan was totally thrilled by the songs (me included)! It was an uplifting experience - so much energy, playfulness and hope. As always, Meryl Streep did not fail to entertain (and she can sing too!). The same cannot be said for Pierce Brosnan though. My most favourite scene was the one when Meryl Streep runs up those flight of meandering steps to the church - amazingly breathtaking. The one thing that strikes a chord in me in the film was the notion of "being yourself" and you can only be who you are at the end of the day. No matter how hard you try to hide away, keep and fold your "true self" away in a closet, somewhere in a faraway island, the TRUE woman in you will eventually have to emerge again and shine. Coming out of the cinema, Aidan was already humming a verse from the song Mama Mia! and asked to buy the soundtrack. We truly had a great time! Now, both Ryan and Aidan are crazy over the songs of ABBA-:)
