ABBA 的 Mamma Mia


ABC's Nick Watt is in ABBA heaven

It's just stuff gets more and more advanced everyday. We turn out to our collaboration with Google. The top rising search: The Dark Knight. Unless you’ve just come out of a suspended animation or something, you have doubtless heard that the latest Batman movie is out today. It is the most hyped movie of the summer. And there’s even a talk about a posthumous Oscar for Heath Ledger, who plays the villain Joker. Also rising: Muriel’s Wedding. It’s a 1994 movie. And we couldn’t figure out for the life of us why people were searching for it on Google. And then we caught a clip from the movie. Yeah, that’s it. There’s ABBA music in it. Then that explains it, because besides Batman, there is another movie opening today, and like Muriel’s Wedding, it’s about nuptials and ABBA music. The movie version of the obscenely popular musical Mamma Mia is out. And ABC’s Nick Watt is in ABBA heaven, or some might consider it ABBA hell.

Take a chance on me. If you need me, let me know, gonna be around. If you’ve got no place to go, if you’re feeling down… Sorry, just can’t help myself. I love ABBA. So does everybody. For me, the love affair starts with the profound lyrics.

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight.

There was something in the air that night, Fernando.

What happened to our love? It used to be so good.

And this woman is responsible for a reincarnation.

Did you think all of this was gonna happen? Did you think it could be this big?

No.

It’s called Mamma Mia, a musical based on the ABBA classics. That’s played in 19 countries.

It went from the creative process to now running a mini industry.

And now it’s on screen. I mean, Meryl Streep sings “The winner takes it all.” What more do you want? The guy who played Bond is in it. So is the guy who played Darcy. And some cuddly Swede.

A fantasy, really.

So what do the critics make of ABBA on celluloid?

I know it’s Swedish, but it’s hardly Bergman, is it?

No, it isn’t great cinema. But it doesn’t have to be. It’s about the music, which is too good to butcher.

I’ve been humming ABBA all week. I’ve been humming it in bed. I wake up in the morning, thinking “gimme gimme gimme.”

A small price to pay for a musical that has grossed two billion dollars and counting.

参考中文翻译:

每天的生活似乎都越来越先进。我们打开Google搜索引擎。排名最前的搜索关键词:The Dark Knight。除非你刚从一部被搁置已久的动画片里醒过来,或者忙于其他的事情,否则毫无疑问,你一定听说过了现在上映了最新的Batman电影。这是今年夏天炒作最热的一部电影。甚至还有关于扮演villain Joker的Heath Ledger评选奥斯卡奖的言论。热度提高的还有:Muriel’s Wedding。这是1994年的一部电影。我们想不明白为什么人们要在Google里对这部电影进行搜索。我们来简单了解一下这部电影。是的,原来是这样。因为这部影片里面有ABBA的音乐。这样就可以解释了,因为除了Batman之外,今天还有一部电影上映:像Muriel’s Wedding一样,是关于婚礼和ABBA音乐的。流行音乐Mamma Mia的电影版也已经出现。ABC的记者Nick Watt正处在ABBA的天堂,也有人认为是ABBA的地狱。

相信我吧,如果你需要我,请让我知道,我会挺身而出。如果你无处可去,如果你感到失望……对不起,我不能自助。每个人都一样,对我来说,恋爱随着深奥的抒情诗开始。

午夜之后给我给我给我一个人…………

那晚夜空中弥漫着某种气氛,Fernando。

我们的爱出现什么问题了呢?过去一直那么好。

这个女子要对她的再生负责。

你认为所有的这一切都会发生吗?你认为作用这么大吗?

不。

它的名字是Mamma Mia,基于ABBA古典音乐的一种音乐,19世纪演奏的最多。

它经历了一个创造性的过程,现在已经领导一个微型产业。

现在应经搬上荧屏。我的意思是,Meryl Streep演唱了这首“The winner takes it all”。你还想要什么呢?扮演Bond的人在里面,扮演Darcy的人也在里面。还有一些赏心悦目的瑞典人。

这简直就是一个幻想。

我知道是瑞典的,但是不可能是伯格曼的,对吗?

不,这并不是一部伟大的电影。而且它也没必要伟大。这是关于音乐的,对屠夫来说已经太好了。

我整个星期都在哼唱ABBA音乐。躺在床上在唱,早上醒来也在唱,心里想着“给我给我给我……”

只要花很少的钱,就能买到这首票房20亿并且还在增加的音乐剧了。
