Last week I watched “Mama Mia!” (2008) Musical/Comedy

I’ll admit i didn’t have the best viewing conditions (a plane with lots of turbulence) so that may have affected my enjoyment. I thought this was fine. I loved the music (which was most of the movie) but the story was lackluster. I had difficulty telling the 3 fathers apart and I found the main character kinda annoying.

5/10

TRIGGER WARNINGS: gore, violence, murder

Your mother dies weekly. It’s a very Greek story. Sisyphean, at least — no matter how fast she runs, she always meets the axe. Sometimes she presses rewind to make you watch it again, acrylic nail clicking on hard plastic. I kept my eyes open the whole time. See? You nod, view switching between her and the version of her on the screen, open-mouthed and bloody, vaguely unrecognisable in her youth. A mother, once she becomes one, ceases being a woman – most of all to her child. She plays the movie again, satisfied with your attention. Her not-self, longer, tauter, prettier, is dying again. Being hacked to pieces. Never even flinched, she mutters. Your gaze slips back to the intact version on the couch, watching as she smooths cream on her already polished legs. She'll be so glossy by the time she’s done, she’ll look varnished. Wet. Like if you rubbed a thumb over her, she’d blur right out. Smudge and then disappear. Your mother is the shiniest thing in this house, and the hardest to see.

Your mother dies strangely. Slowly. When you watch her and her boyfriend die through a sliver in the bedroom door, it’s familiar, but not quite. The violence is there, but the director is poor. He’s gotten the staging wrong. Someone has forgotten to turn on the lights, centre the shot, cue the music. Most perturbing of all, Mother is forgetting her own inviolable rules. When you tiptoe out into the hallway later, scared to ruin the scene, you find her eyes are closed. Mama, you say, prodding her in the shoulder. You flinched.

Among an act of senseless violence, it is a miraculous survival, they’ll say later, attributing your misunderstanding to something chosen. A testament to a little girl’s calm and quick thinking. You know the truth: your survival was dependent on fantasy. Lies. The inability to tell one from the other.  Years later you’ll return to this methodology, this time with intention. To survive, you become unreal. 

You became something brand new all those years ago in your new home in Antioch, scrubbed so hard in the cleaning process the skin sloughed off. Amelia Ortiz, as you make her to be, is not the girl from the trailer park with the dead mother who used to do tit-baring horror movies. Mia Ortiz, as you make yourself to be, is tender and flawless. She’s born in Boulder, Colorado and likes to ski. She’s a winner of Miss Oregon and comfortable in her body, but doesn’t talk about it. She’s always dressed well, and – never single. The only way to follow a career in beauty is the vocation of maintaining it, and you do, lifting from one partner to the next, attaching yourself to those your quiet, shrewd eye deems capable of ensuring your endurance: athletes, businessmen, politicians. Even among your peers you are exceptional, your trophies greater, your bindings stronger. They think it’s purely ambition, but greed is not the vice you act on — money is easy to acquire, and contributes to your need, but is not the whole of it. What you desire is something far greater, far harder to come by, always moving one step away: Safety. For once in your life, you simply want to feel safe. Can they blame you, then, really? You attach with the smooth efficiency of a parasite, but your lips are soft. They don’t feel it. Can they blame you for all you’ve done? For all this? 

Time is cyclical. Mothers peer out of their daughters’ faces, looking to see what has changed. The night the plane goes down from the sky and she bolts forward from the woods, blood running over her Modigliani eyes, Mia is the spitting image of her mother. She collapses into the arms of another as if it’s on cue. She’s the most beautiful girl in the picture.  Her eyes are wide open. She survives. TL;DR ! mia is the daughter of a washed-up 80s horror actress, entered into witness protection after witnessing her mother's murder as a young girl. best summed up by if a lamb was a parasite. throwing herself into the new identity of a girl from a well-off family, she completely disassociates from her old life and immerses herself in a new reality. the only crack in her new antioch-born identity is when the plane crash and subsequent stranding of 2008 occurs - exhibiting a calculated survivalist of a girl. having been retrieved from the incident, she promptly wins miss oregon, travels to compete in miss world, and never comes home - until recently, after the passing of her adopted father.

wanted connection #1:  the other end of the red string, dyed in blood. mia's strength has always been in emotional manipulation, and when the class of 2008 was stranded, it was largely this that ensured her survival. attaching herself to the strongest member(s) of the group, especially this individual, they ended up in an ill-defined codependency with romantic implications. since they were retrieved, however, mia distanced herself from them - denying, to this day, the extent of what they did for her. preference for a femme muse, but open to any class of 2008 survivor -- looking for something messy, angsty and intense !!! wanted connection #2: high school bestie !!! they were inseparable up until the crash, after which the relationship was never the same. wanted connection #3: guilty pleasure / long term on- and off- hookup. for various reasons they definitely shouldn't be messing around, and yet whenever mia's in town they end up gravitating to one another again. to quote the poet liam payne: you said it was over, but your clothes say different on my bedroom floor

Since we're sharing P!ATD stories...buckle up!

I'm originally from the Chicago suburbs (which is also an annoying personality trait) and I was 13 years old, heavily layering tank tops from Kohl's over v-neck shirts.

It's May 2008 and me and these two super cool older girls from Elmhurst (whom I met at Fine Arts Camp @ Saint Mary's College in South Bend, Indiana) went to Honda Civic Tour at the Congress Theatre in Chicago (RIP).

It was my first concert *ever* and I cannot believe how lucky I was to have it filmed. I got that hideous beige/brown Pretty.Odd sweatshirt (see attached for example) and wore it over everything because I believed I had hypohidrosis (spoiler: it was all the layered tank tops from Kohl's).

Motion City Soundtrack, Phantom Planet, and The Hush Sound were incredible openers and I have yet to have a more satisfying line up. BUT. It was at the concert that I had my first seizure! Rewind a second!

I grew up on Neopets and Flash Games and supported my friends who were really good at drawing Sonic the Hedgehog. I was on the computer *a lot.* So when the fingers in my left hand were going numb, it was dismissed as carpal tunnel - easy enough.

Now fast forward to me being such an amped up, cradle Catholic, Peggy Hill-footed teenager. I'm in ecstasy, feeling like the true Fueled By Ramen ™ teen that I knew I was inside. I'm sweaty, I'm scrunched against other people, I'm having an awakening!!!

But then my fingers go number and half of my face does too and I'm thinking it's adrenaline and hormones and Jon Walker - so I keep going. It eventually subsides, then happens again a few days later, and again, and again...for months.

Scooch ahead a little more - my mom advocates for an MRI and we get one, a then few weeks pass.

After going to ~LINCOLNSHIRE~ with my grandma and mom to see "Mama Mia" (on the day before I am set to start *THE* 8th grade), we get a call from my pediatrician that I need to go to the hospital ASAP. Turns out I have a "goober" in my brain and a "goober" is what you call a tumor when you're explaining it to a kid you helped bring into this world. Shout out to the emotional labor of doctors, for real.

I can do a "House"-style medical breakdown later and talk about my surgery/proton radiation, BUT I would much rather talk about all of my Make-A-Wish trip ideas, ripped straight outta 2008!!!

1. Visit the set of "Project Runway" and hang out with Tim Gunn.

2. A pink digital camera - literally, that was it. And you know the one I'm talking about. My Wish Granters were like....you can probably get that on your own sweetie...

3. Be on an episode of TAI TV (remember that!?) If you must know, I had big dumb crushes on Ryland and Sisky.

4. Meet Katy Perry??? (I don't know what we would have talked about or done together...I knew nothing about anything).

5. American Eage shopping spree (in retrospect, their clothes never really fit right and I only wanted to recreate the high of wearing a lace cami under a turquoise henley sweater with a pink skinny scarf at my first middle school dance - it was as much of a "Laguna Beach" moment as I could have).

- Meet Jon Walker - not all of Panic! just Jon. WILD!!!!! Imagine!!!

Dear reader...do you want to know what I chose?

A trip to Turks and Caicos! A place I had never heard of! I got my period for the first time and we could only find cardboard, "old-school" tampons and I was FREAKING OUT. I also got a wicked sunburn (Trileptal folks!) and got sick on an unlimited supply of Boursin whipped cheese spread. Two of my brothers are redheads who do not like the beach! They were so fussy! Turks and Caicos is a lot of beach!

Please please believe me, I am unbelievably thankful for my wish (and health and life and time) and the Granting team, but have any other Make-A-Wish kids spent time thinking about alllllll the other wish possibilities?

I'm not even talking about reflecting back and considering more "practical" (which is bananas to say considering the context), but just like how my interests have changed?

In high school (and probably now, too), I was kicking myself for not using my wish to meet Jason Segel? I still have a massive crush on him, but imagine them calling him up to meet a random kid who picked him as her Make-A-Wish? (This was pre "End of the Tour" and "Muppets" for him - it only was "How I Met Your Mother" and "Freaks and Geeks" for him).

I'm 15 years in remission and doing just fine! I haven't talked about (or processed) personal health stuff very much, so thanks for letting me take a moment from reblogging transparent Snoopy sticker scans and Nora Ephron film stills to reflect on the end of an era.

#tw cancer #panic! at the disco #p!atd #2008 #yall i know it's a stretch but are any of yall pediatric cancer survivors too because i have a lot of questions #thanks yall for real for real #ya girl's glonky

[pm] this is not a drill, Levi has strong opinions on the 2008 classic Mama Mia! And won't share them.

[pm] Uh, we're getting those opinions. Wanna do an ambush? I'm thinking karaoke.

[stackthedeck]

favorite movies of the 2010s?

I mean the social network obviously like literally altered my brain chemistry. The amazing Spider-Man movies of course. The high school musical trilogy, mama mia came out in 2008 but mama mia here we go again came out in 2018. Into the spider verse which I can’t believe is a 2010s movie. I hate the mcu but the avengers movie has me in a nostalgic chokehold. Silence is so underrated and it’s based on one of my favorite novels. And oh my gosh the little women movie! Like I adore a24 movies but like midsummer and the lighthouse are my personal favorites. Did parasite come out in the 2010s or was it 2020? Either way it’s amazing!! Wait tangled was definitely 2010s definitely my favorite 3D animated Disney movie (oh but also moana) oh my goodness how to train your dragon was also 2010s!! Oh have you seen princess syd gotta be one of my favorite gay movies!!!

I’ll be real most of my memories are from the 2010s so like I love most movies that came out in that decade but also I’m not big on movies I’m more a tv show person

#asks #I’m so bad about watching movies #did carol come out in the 2010s? I feel like it did but also didn’t

ABBA top 5? and then a Mamma Mia cover of ABBA top 5, if there are any differences. and which of the 3 dads would you pick if you could.

Fun fact: Mamma Mia! was the first movie I ever pirated way back in 2008 because I was in love with Colin Firth and it is one of my favorite movie musicals of all time

My ABBA ranking is based solely on the songs that get stuck in my head the most so it often changes:

"Waterloo"

"Angeleyes"

"Take a Chance on Me"

"My Love, My Life"

"Ring Ring"

Mamma Mia! ranking is my most listened to covers:

"The Winner Takes It All"

"Lay All Your Love On Me"

"Money, Money, Money"

"Fernando"

"Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)"

LISTEN I don't know the Here We Go Again! covers as much as I'd like but Cher's cover of "Fernando" lives rent free in my head

YOU GOTTA BE SPECIFIC WHEN YOU TELL ME TO PICK A DAD BECAUSE DO YOU MEAN AS MY DAD OR WHO IVE BEEN HOPELESSLY IN LOVE WITH FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS?

I'd choose Bill as my dad because I wanna live on a boat

LET ME BE REAL FOR A SECOND

I've had the biggest crush on Christine Baranski since The Grinch

I want Tanya to be my sugar mama

Mati Diop

Restituire significa rendere giustizia. Possiamo sbarazzarci del passato come un fardello spiacevole che ostacola solo la nostra evoluzione, oppure possiamo assumerci la responsabilità e usarlo come base per andare avanti. Dobbiamo scegliere.

È fondamentale che il cinema e la letteratura diano non solo visibilità a chi è oppresso, ma che lo rappresentino anche in maniera autentica

Quella tra il Senegal e la Francia è una storia violenta, ma io e la mia generazione la stiamo superando per scriverne una nuova.

Mati Diop è la regista e sceneggiatrice che ha vinto l’Orso d’oro al Festival di Berlino 2024 con Dahomey.

Nel 2019 è entrata nella storia per essere la prima regista nera a presentare un film in concorso a Cannes per poi aggiudicarsi il Grand Prix della Giuria.

Il suo lungometraggio d’esordio, Atlantics, che ha vinto anche il premio inaugurale Mary Pickford al Toronto Film Festival era stato selezionato come candidato dal Senegal agli Oscar.

Nello stesso anno, Vanity Fair l’ha inserita nella sua lista delle cinquanta persone francesi più influenti al mondo.

È nata a Parigi il 22 giugno 1982 da madre francese e padre senegalese, il musicista Wasis Diop, ha respirato arte sin da piccola, suo zio paterno è Djbril Diop Mambéty, il celebre regista senegalese di Touki bouki e Iene.

Ha studiato al laboratorio di ricerca artistica del Palais de Tokyo e poi al centro di studi nazionale d’arti contemporanee Le Fresnoy, dove si è laureata, nel 2007. Dopo il liceo ha svolto diversi lavori, dalla cameriera alla figura che crea paesaggi sonori per il teatro.

Ha esordito nel mondo del cinema come attrice, nel 2008, recitando nel film di Claire Denis 35 rhums, per il quale ha ricevuto una candidatura al Premio Lumière per la migliore promessa femminile. 

L’esperienza con la famosa regista le ha fatto comprendere che la sua strada era dietro alla macchina da presa e ha iniziato girando diversi cortometraggi.

Sporadicamente ha continuato la carriera d’attrice, in film come Simon Killer (2012), Fort Buchanan (2014) e Hermia & Helena (2016) e Incroci sentimentali (2022).

Nel 2019 la grande svolta della sua carriera è avvenuta con l’uscita del suo primo lungometraggio Atlantics, selezionato al Festival di Cannes, che l’ha vista, trentaseienne, in concorso con un film girato a Dakar in lingua Wolof.

Il film, tratto dal suo omonimo cortometraggio del 2009, tratta il tema della migrazione attraverso una poetica storia di fantasmi, sul trauma, la perdita e la persistenza dell’amore.

Distribuito a livello internazionale da Netflix, è arrivato a un soffio dalla cinquina finale dei titoli candidati all’Oscar come Miglior Film Straniero.  Una collisione tra la sua ricerca cinematografica e la riesplorazione dell’identità africana da un punto di vista femminile e comunitario. Un ribaltamento della narrazione, l’immigrazione vista dal punto di vista di chi decide di restare invece di partire.

La casa di moda Chanel, per la sfilata Métiers d’art 2022 2023 di Chanel, ha scelto di esplorare diversi dialoghi creativi attraverso un film diretto da Mati Diop, Tokyo Trip in cui la protagonista è stata Mama Sané vista in Atlantics. 

Il 24 febbraio 2024, il suo secondo film, Dahomey,  che racconta la restituzione al Benin di 26 oggetti trafugati del Regno di Dahomey durante la guerra di colonizzazione, ha vinto l’Orso d’oro al Festival del cinema di Berlino.

Una profonda riflessione sul post-colonialismo (mai veramente affrontato), un documentario fantasy che è, allo stesso tempo, un manifesto politico e un film d’arte.

Mostra come una società che si riconnette con la propria eredità acquisisca forza e futuro. I temi dell’identità, della memoria e della perdita, sono sempre al centro delle opere di Mati Diop.
