Mamma Mia!

近年已經很少進戲院，因為忙，因為看電影不便宜。趁著星期二八號風球黑格比帶來的早放工的機會，買戲票，好好享受光影世界的輕鬆。首選是Nicolas Cage主演的Bangkok Dangerous，但葵芳百老匯沒有上，改為看Mamma Mia!

早有同事看了，給我極力推介。果然好看。當然，這與ABBA的歌曲好聽有關，但拍攝場地景色怡人，藍天白雲青山碧水綠樹幼沙小屋，一看即豁然開朗，拋開辦公室的種種煩惱。幾位大明星絕不欺場，主角Meryl Streep寶刀未老；前James Bond的Pierce Bronsan繼續非常有型，奈何歌喉認真有限；Colin Firth一貫的好看，仍然是我心目中的Mr Darcy，想不到歌聲也令人意外，始終是專業藝人，有功底的，有機會便能大展身手。其他幾位配角表現也讓觀眾拍案叫絕，總之，歌好，演員好，劇情雖略嫌鬆散，但卻是一齣令人開心的電影。

戲內多首名曲，首首好聽，但令我最深刻的是The Winner Takes it All，道盡受傷女人的心聲，第一句I don't want to talk，是每個人也遇過的情況，傷心到不想說話，Meryl Streep唱來哀怨但不失尊嚴，盡顯功架，不讓Celine Dion專美；另一首是Our Last Summer，前奏幾個結他和弦小節已經教我感動，再看歌詞，更不得了，寫出每個29+n的人的心底話。其他的歌，不論快慢，也非常動聽，經過歲月的洗禮仍能感動人心的，就是經典。

見到原聲大碟，連價錢也不看便買了。相信這很可能是繼City of Angel和Notting Hill後最常播的原聲大碟。

Our Last Summer

I can still recall
Our last summer
I still see it all

Walks along the Seine
Laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain

We made our way along the river
And we sat down in the grass by the Eiffel Tower

I was so happy we had met
It was the age of no regret
Oh yes, those crazy years
That was the time
Of the flower-power
But underneath
We had a fear of flying
Of growing old
A fear of slowly dying
We took a chance
Like we were dancing our last dance

I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all

In the tourist jam
'round the Notre Dame
Our last summer
Walking hand in hand
Paris restaurants
Our last summer
Morning croissants
Living for the day
Worries far away
Our last summer
We could laugh and play

And now you're working a bank
A family man
A football fan
And your name is Harry
How dull it seems
Are you the hero of my dreams?

I can still recall our last summer...
I can see it all...
