SOME SPOILERS--------------------------------------------------------
One of
the sequels we’ve been waiting, ‘Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again’ (2018) brings the
fun, cheesy, musical theme like the first film. They brought back some of the
old cast and we see some new cast who did a wonderful job in this film. The
casting of the younger version characters really fit well to the original
characters.
The
editing was really smart in this film during some of the musical numbers and
the parallel from present Sophie to the young Donna. The placing of
parallel scene makes you think one thing, but then thrown off when another
piece revealed. Peter Lambert has worked on different genre films compared to ‘Mamma
Mia: Here We Go Again’ (2018), a musical.
Robert
D. Yeoman has also worked on various films with different genres such as ‘The
Grand Budapest Hotel’ (2014) and ‘Spy’ (2015). The cinematography was beautiful
throughout the film, but there is one part that bothered me. It was the
lighting on Young Donna while she and young Sam were on a boat. They were
having a serious moment and the sun’s glare would cover Young Donna’s face. I
know it’s difficult to control lighting while on the ocean.
There
are some facts from ‘Mamma Mia!’ (2008) that don’t really align in the second
film, but ‘Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again’ (2018) was still a fun, amazing movie
to enjoy!
Trivia!
There is a scene in the film where it takes place in Japan. You can see a huge
poster of ‘Boruto’ and a medium poster of ‘Jojo’s Bizarre’ which was a fun pop
culture to see if you know about anime~
