I felt energy just typing the title to this post. I just came from watching the movie which stars Meryl Streep. Who does not love Meryl? In this movie, she is even more ADORABLE!!!! Especially when she sang "The Winner Takes It All". She went from confident, to vulnerable in one breath and she made it believable. Tears rolled down my face non-stop! Her rendition of the song was so heart wrenching, I was so moved by her performance. And for us who have been there ("and played by the rules"), I say AGAIN - the winner takes it all alright, but I am not doing bad now ... Thank you!
I already saw the Broadway show but the movie is totally different. The vocals at the movie version do not even come close to the Broadway show, but close-ups gave us more emotion, the costumes looked more colorful and the location ... where in the world is that mountain retreat that is just beside the beautiful beach??? It's so breathtaking! I will buy the DVD when it comes out. it is one of the movieds you would want to watch again. I hope it gets noticed by award bodies.
