Mamamia－[Book of Days]

走出電影院，呼吸一口氣「媽媽咪呀真不賴啊」我一直哼著「thank you for the music 」這首歌。

把舞台音樂劇直接般上大螢幕，難度其實相當高。舞台劇的背景原素比較簡單，情節與意念的表達靠的是誇張的表情與多變的歌聲。但如果把此原封不動的般上大螢幕，便有點不太協調，感覺腳色的情感轉變太平面化了、省略太多可以表達更好的細膩之處。

梅莉史翠普的表演堪稱老練，演足了一個爛漫不羈，卻又被歲月、責任、女兒的婚事磨去陵角的母親。
但皮爾斯布洛斯南就實在不適合演音樂劇了。看得出來他已經盡力、最高輸出的折磨他的聲帶，但還是很勉強的才能與梅莉史翠普對唱。畢竟讓007一臉很愁苦的唱著情歌本來就是很怪的事
。
不過，後面結尾，幾個上了年紀的演員，穿上70年代的歌舞裝，還是頂好笑的。很抱歉還找不到圖片，大家只好自己去電影院看眾明星身著亮片喇叭褲扭屁股的樣子囉！

這齣戲最有特色的地方便是改編自ABBA的作品，仔細聽聽，ABBA演唱、musical、movie 同一首歌三個版本所給人的感覺都不太一樣。
舉我最愛的〈thank you for the music〉為例，電影版本的鋼琴演奏的相當美妙，有種輕快溫馨的感覺。

原舞台劇版，就比較強調演員的音色→http://www.wretch.cc/album/show.php?i=bookofdays&b=32764&f=1961783398&p=1

《Lyrics》

Im nothing special, in fact Im a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, youve probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
cause everyone listens when I start to sing
Im so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs Im singing
Thanks for all the joy theyre bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And Ive often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, Im a fan
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs Im singing
Thanks for all the joy theyre bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Ive been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs Im singing
Thanks for all the joy theyre bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
