Mamma Mia!

I know this post really has nothing to do with computer security and being a managing director of a software development firm but what the hell.. this is a personal blog and hence this entry.

After quite some time I went for a movie in a theater and it was called Mamma Mia! It was directed by Phyllide Lloyd and had a cast which included Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth , Christine Baranski and several other very talented people. It is a musical about a girl who is trying to find out who her real dad is and and the all sound tracks are based on some of the greatest ABBA songs like "I had a dream", "Mamma Mia", "Dancing Queen" , " Money Money Money" and all those wonderful yester year songs.

I LOVED the movie ! Not only was it because the sound track was so so familiar but it was a refreshing change. It was worth paying for the tickets, worth getting out on a Sunday and even worth the popcorn.

I am not the kind who really enjoys movies that might have 'gooey' & ' mushy' elements but seeing this movie gave you a HAPPY FEELING about life. Not a great movie goer or movie critic but I think the cast & crew of the movie had a great time making the movie and that it turn reflects on the audience as well which had a great time seeing the movie. The audience including me were lapping up all the movie was giving, absorbing all the emotions happily. We laughed, we clicked our fingers and swayed with the music, we felt sentimental .... everyting all together.

The story line, the cast , the music , the settings everything was just right and after a very very long time I would take the trouble of seeing this movie again !
