I feel like this symbolizes Sophie finally letting go of her mom. She becomes a mother herself and is ready to think about Donna as a memory now. Such a heartbreaking but beautiful scene.
I’m here to appreciate this comment, but it destroys me at the same time. I am in no way ready to lose my mother. It terrifies me. She made me WHO I am.
@@mayceejadeparkes374 it made me emotional too because my daughter was adopted even after I fought for her and I was told later that it was all unfounded and her adopted parents lied to her about her father & me.
Not really. Judy Cramer (the producer) did an interview where she confirmed Streep wasn’t at all interested in Mamma Mia 2 and originally turned down an offer to return. She only agreed when the story was finally written and they offered her the opportunity to come back in only two scenes (this song and the final credit song). And Streep has confirmed nothing will get her to do Mamma Mia 3, unlike Julie Walters who said she would come out of retirement for it. A shame, really.
@@dms1131dsthis is a sequel and she is here. So. I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. If she actually has a no sequels rule, she definitely and verifiably did broke that rule with this, regardless of what the reasons for it to be.
I love how at 2:48 Donna turns Sophie around for her to see she has a whole family to love her and protect her once Donna is completely gone. Like 'look honey, you're not alone and will never be. And I will always be with you."
Anyone else notice that Donna has a butterfly necklace when she brings Sophie to be christened as a baby and Sophie is wearing a dress covered in butterflies when she brings her baby? I love the gentle nod to honor her mother
This is such a beautiful scene everyone is allowed to cry, donna is so much like my mother makes me think of the fact she'll pass one day, so sorry about yours:(
I knew going to the cinema to watch this movie would be sad for me. When the first movie came out I watched it with my mother. My mother died and I felt a part of me was missing and though I tried, I’ve never felt whole since. I went to watch this movie alone, but it felt like my mother was there with me. This scene I can relate to so much and I know that she’ll always be with me
I cried like a baby when I first watched this, and I still cry. It's such a beautiful scene, and I wasn't expecting for Donna to show up, and that was my favorite part.
+mizellda when i watched this movie in the Odeon Liverpool one i nearly cried (but didn't) but the same line "nothing and no one can break this bond" nearly makes me cry. Its like a mum with 1 daughter or son(like us)
"Yes, I know I don't possess you, with all my heart God bless you" When you couldn't accept the death of loved ones, this quote pierces deep that you shed some tears, and then you'll learn to let go,with a smile.
This scene hit me so hard when I watched it at the cinema. This was my grandma's and I favorite movie and would watch it over and over again together. She was like a mother to me and we had planned for months to see this movie together but passed away a couple of months before and when this scene came I was with my two best friends holding my hands because I couldn't stop crying. I know it sounds sad but I know she's with me every step of the way and guides me. She still sends me signs on a regular basis to let me know I am not alone.
This scene is brutal. I remember seeing this in theatres and I could hear nothing but sobs and sniffles in the entire room. Unbelievably, and heartbreaking-ly beautiful. It was almost fitting that Streep does not do sequels, because it would have been an entirely different movie. The created a great story line for all the characters in lieu of Streep not fully being there, like the first one. Yes, she participated in a sequel, but not in a way where she was the main star, her younger self was. All she needed was this one scene to make her presence known. So powerful :)
The fact that my mum cried at this scene really shook me. She isn't the emotional type of person. Me however am, and I was dying in the cinema watching this bit. Especially since Mamma Mia has always been in my heart....okay mostly Meryl.
I guess this scene is really touching to watch for everyone, especially for women who have become mothers. We realise how much love we can have for someone. It’s so pure and unconditional. Our babies are really our love, our life
They killed off Donna for that reason. But she wanted to be a part of Mamma Mia 2 with less impact. But goddamn, this is a lot of impact bc people all over are crying.🥺 Really love this scene, song and the actors!!❤❤
So glad she agreed to show up tbh. It wouldn't have been the same without her. I'm actually not a big fan of MM2 but the fact that she showed up kinda saved it for me.
Amanda Seyfried and Meryl Streep transcend earth in this scene. Their depth of love is pure radiance. In a world fixed on quantity over quality of relationship it brings me back the center of my heart. The smaller inner world. Not the likes or the images we’ve been programmed for... Emotional oxygen.
This song like slipping through my fingers in the first movie always has me in tears. I found out a few years ago that I’m terminally ill, and will be leaving two beautiful girls (one just in early teens, one below 10) these songs just cover exactly how I feel about them, adore them, and want the best for them. The amazing delivery by all the cast, makes you forget that most are not real singers. Not having Meryl in second movie just felt wrong, as she has such presence on screen, but this scene just finished the movie off, and I doubt anyone could watch it the first time, without tears in their eyes.
The way donna constantly smiles knowing she raised sophie right, she finally can rest in peace knowing she will be taking care of, and knowing her grandson *(yes sophie had a boy, his name is donny for donna)* won't be alone even though she couldn't meet him 🥺😢 i made myself cry 😂
@@HakunaMatata-sk4ov Sophie’s three possible fathers were walking up talking about which of their traits the boy had and one of them mentions the name Donny that’s how we know.
This is an emotional masterpiece. First playing 'slipping through my fingers' in the background on the way to the church, then playing and singing this song inside the church in a duet with Donna (who at this point is dead), add in the imagery of Sophie seemingly able to see and hold hands with Donna and finally Donna leaving the church, her arms held out like angel wings, all while getting surrounded by bright light, to take her away while the doors close. It's hardly surprising why so many people cry to this scene.
Before my grandmother died she asked me to sing this song with her. 6 minutes later she died in my arms with her hands holding mine. I gave her a kiss on her forehead I whispered I love you grandma. The doctor took me back I looked back she was angel. She said I love you too my baby. I put my hands to my heart and smiled. I said goodbye to her then went to my family. Till this very day I think of her always.
Your comments just made me cry hard… I know someday will me be with my grandma when she passed away. And is hard imagine that day. I hope things are better for you now.
when my mother died, I was crying, alone, and I asked her, wherever she was, if she would remember me or forget me. I went downstairs and turned on the TV and this movie was on right when she was outside the church and started walking inside. I had never seen the movie. I knew it was a message from her. It was too coincidental. It was my mother's message to me! I play it and sing with it to sing back to her, to sing my love to her. I miss her so much, but this event comforted me so. She is out there. All our loved ones who have passed on are out there. They have not ceased to exist.
I lost both parents. Cried throughout throughout this song. When those doors cried, I sobbed. I also loved the scene when Meryl Streep’s face was in the baptismal water. The child is an extension of her life.
I am very impressed with this scene cause it changes the song's meaning. Normally I'd think this song is one about two lovers but this scene opens my mind to the possibility of it being about the bond between mother and child.
the song was effectively originally written by abba as a break up song ; but mamma mia 2 masterfully shows us that it can truly take so many more meanings because the lyrics perfectly bend to other interpretations
Such a powerful song. Everyone who has had lost a mother or a father will definitely burst into tears. ...but i know i dont possess, with all my heart god bless you...
1:55 Sky sees Sophie staring at the front of the church but does nothing. I'm assuming that he thought that it was best to let Sophie do what she needs. The whole scene is just so well made that after the first words are sung, I already cry...
Donna has that smile on her face while singing the first verse when she sees her best friends and her husband interacting with the baby, and then she becomes all serious while she lovingly sings to Sophie during the second verse T.T
I remember watching this with my mum, the first time around this was in cinemas and yes like many I cried and this bit. And then the credits started rolling everyone started to leave but the first thing I did when I stood up was hug my mum.
I've never felt this strong I am invincible, how could this go wrong? No, here, here's where we belong I see a road ahead I never thought I would dare to tread Like an image passing by, my love, my life In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life I can see it all so clearly All I love so dearly Images passing by Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life Are the words I try to find, my love, my life But I know I don't possess you With all my heart, God bless you You will be my love and my life You're my one and only I held you close to me Felt your heartbeat and I thought I am free Oh, yes and as one are we In the now and beyond Nothing and no one can break this bond Like an image passing by, my love, my life In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life I can see it all so clearly All I love so dearly Images passing by Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life Are the words I try to find, my love, my life But I know I don't possess you With all my heart, God bless you You are still my love and my life Yes, I know don't possess you With all my heart, God bless you You are still my love and my life You're my one and only..♥️❤️
this scene makes me sob everytime, not because i miss my mom or anything cuz she's alive and everything but just because of the fact that i dont have that kind of relationship with my mother and probably never will. but seeing their bond with the music and everything just makes me question where everything went wrong between me and my mom because i want to be able to look at my mother the way sophie looked at donna.
If you can listen to this version without crying - you have a very cold heart. I remember absolutely sobbing in the cinema when i heard this. I struggle to listen to it now without getting a tear in my eye. The most beautiful version of the song. Amanda and Meryl have stunning voices and their harmonies are beautiful.
This is so great. Best storyline of the whole story is Donna keeping her baby realizing the value of life inside her., and their faith in the Sacrament of Baptism that makes Christ visible. 💕💕💕 love this so much, esp the way all eyes are adoring the baby. So moving. Well done scene. What a message.💕💕
"Yes I know I don't possess you." That's the line that gets me. Knowing that you cant stay with your loved one or that part of loving them is being willing to let them go. One to life. The other to death. That you can love your child with all your being but when it comes time to release them you must know you dont possess them, and yet they are still yours forever.
This ending scene is just perfect. The circle is closed and although will go on endlessly at the same time. The lightness, kindness, pureness and warmth in this scene and their voices are amazing. This scene breaks my heart and gives me peace at the same time. It touches the heart.
I really love meryl streep and amanda seyfried's mother and daughter relationship because it feels so real. And also everybody looks like they've had a blast making both of these movies.
Everything in the video transported me to another world, the affection that they two show is incredible. Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried are the best. I have decided to sing this song in my sister's christening, she is the person I love the most in this world and this song could not represent the moment better. I am really looking forward to the day, while I will practice as much as I can.
As a parent you never want to out live your child but as a child you never want your parents to die before you either! Loss of someone that close is absolutely soul destroying.
I didn't see this in the theatre, and I think I'm glad. I bought the Blu-ray and sat down to watch it, not knowing the new story. It got to this scene and I completely lost it. I was a 58 year-old man and had lost my mom a couple of weeks before I saw this. It never occurred to me that a Mamma Mia movie would make me cry. I fell apart, gulping, blubbering. I'm glad it was at home so I could just FEEL and nobody would stare. Yes, men cry, too. I dearly miss my mom.
i replayed this scene over and over again the first time i watch this movie just to feel that bliss and how beautiful this scene is! the more i replay it the more my tears falls down
No one can live up to Meryls amazing and graceful acting when she passes all I know is that the world will be in deep sadness bcause of the way she shaped the acting ways in all her movies
I dont think that was actually meant to happen if they wanted her to see donna they would have made it longer it just seems like when actors are slowly moving their eyes and they accidently look at the wrong thing
when I met that music teacher, I was a little girl thirteen years old! For me, she became something more than a simple teacher!!! She taught me not to be afraid, to believe in myself, to strive for my goals!! She is the first person that comes to my mind when I want to talk about something and I know that when I am not well she will give me an advice and a hug!!! She taught me expression through music and made me want to follow her profession too!! She became for me my role model, my strength and my second mom!! Without her I wouldn't be the person I am now!!! I can't express everything I feel for her in words, so I just tell her that I love her very much!! every time I tell her that I love her, I mean it more and more!!! She is my love and my life!!! She is my one and only!!!!! With all my heart god bless her !!!!🙏🏻💖I cry every time I hear this song !!!🥺🥹❤️❤️💕🎵🎵
Listening to this on the bus on my way to work, huge mistake, what make up?! what mascara?! I am bawling, damn it! Hands down one of the best scenes in the movie and Meryl Streeep is just divine!
Amanda Seyfried and Meryl Streep are really amazing in that scene. They don't need to said a word, you read it all in their expressions, that's amazing! I love this scene, paticulary when Sophie sees her mom and without saying anything you can see what she's thinking "Mom? It's you? It's realIy you. I miss you." And when Donna leaves...well I can't be the only one who cried. They both deserve an Oscar just for this scene.
I am sorry for your loss.. for anyone who's lost their mother. My mother is probably the strongest person I know because she lost her mom and still managed to be my mom while trying to deal with it. It's painful no matter how old you are and they showed Sophie's strength perfectly in this scene.
I bawled my eyes out when I first saw this movie. It was so unexpected to see Meryl Streep to return. I remember my best friend took me to see this in theaters as a going away present, as I was moving away and we just held each other and cried. It was like we were saying we had the best years together but it’s okay to let go.
I cry at happy and sad things, very music oriented. This is the first time my throat EVER had a lump / sensation while crying from a scene or music. the care and symbolism in both these movies are brilliant and I love them.
I lost my mom going on 14 years now but this week I was laid off from a job that I gave my life to and I find myself grieving and wishing she was here to comfort me. I have a loving husband and kids but as I watched this movie and this song came on I suddenly realized how much I miss the comfort a parent (especially mom) gives when life gets rough.
This film came out a month after my cousin died in a motorcycle accident, and it really hit hard. Meryl's 5 minute appearance is fabulously acted out and it almost made me feel better. She has some skills...xx
This scene made cry a lot and grieved the mother I never have… How I wish my mother loved me dearly or showed me love, affection and tenderness like in this scene…
Im a 14 year old Girl and ive watched Those movies for a thousand Times before and when i watched it Two days ago i began crying all of the sudden. Ive never cried at this Part before ❤😢
This scene tore me up in the theater when I saw it, it was so unexpected. I never knew maternal love and to suddenly see it depicted so beautifully and simply here brought back everything I knew I missed. My life has been so dark and full of pain because of what my mother did or could not do. She hated her children because she hated our father.
Further exploring Donna as a character, and diving deeper into the mother dynamic is why Mamma Mia 2 is better than the first. When I want to have fun, I watch the first. When I want an emotional experience, I watch the second one
3:10 This moment when Pierce started walking behind Meryl... I just felt something so strong, inexplicable, thought for a second that he is going to touch her. That is the moment I began to cry, really. Donna and Sam forever. ❤️
My grandma passed in 2022 at easter. That Chrismas before, she got this movie on DVD. We (Me, my cousin, my mom and grandma) watched this movie when it came out in 2018. But the DVD she got christmas 2021 is still unopen. She never got the chance to watch it. This song and the "slipping through my fingers" from the first movie always being me to tears. They remind me so much of her😞😭
I feel in this song all the sadness and the joy of the connections to my mother and grandmother who were my parents and are with me always, not physically but in mind and soul forever. With love from a 70 year old fan of Meryl's and all the others, too :)
I feel like this symbolizes Sophie finally letting go of her mom. She becomes a mother herself and is ready to think about Donna as a memory now. Such a heartbreaking but beautiful scene.
I got emotional whilst watching this 😭 😢

Yeh I'm sure it had nothing to do with being offered $3million for 5mins on screen 😆
Mamma mia 3 is not real😓😪😞😭☹🙁😔😓😕😥
Is it normal to still cry like a baby every time I see this clip? Can't hold it, it's a powerful scene. Love this!
it is for people with love in their heart.
Yip.......😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤩
1st time i watch it in cinema i cried buckets my mom died before i got married had my daughter ...reminds me of her xx
YES I WAS CRYING AND STILL DO EVERY TIME I WATCH THIS
Same here 🥺🥺❤️
I love how at 2:48 Donna turns Sophie around for her to see she has a whole family to love her and protect her once Donna is completely gone. Like 'look honey, you're not alone and will never be. And I will always be with you."
Aww no 😭
Please don't . Please I'll die if I cry one more tear
Why tho was she dying ?
Nooooo I managed to hold it together and then saw this comment and I am now definitely maybe crying 😭
@@maxborzellino4932 She was dead for the whole movie

Elaina Holway never realized that before and now I’m balling even harder than before
And I think it’s also the same necklace that Donna wore when she was singing winner takes it all
I did something for my mother when she passed away June 12 2019. The skirt of the dress i wore to her funeral was her favorite color.
Okay i’m crying even more ! Thank you ! 😂👍😭
Yes
The fact that Meryl has said so many times that she sees Amanda as another daughter just makes this scene even more real and genuine 🥺
And they could be mother and daughter tho 🥹❤️

I don’t care who you are but I am a 19 year old boy and I cry at this scene every single time, it makes me miss my mother so bad...
dont worry. When we watched this in the movie theater my father, a grown 50 year old man, was sobbing beside me.
So sorry Tom
i'm so sorry Tom be strong
This is such a beautiful scene everyone is allowed to cry, donna is so much like my mother makes me think of the fact she'll pass one day, so sorry about yours:(
i feel sorry for you
This scene alone should have earned Meryl Streep an Oscar.
She got nominated for Academy Award I think
So true! Beautiful performance. Brings tears to my eyes every time I see it.
What about Amanda
So true!
Meryl Streep breathes in a film and gets a nomination.
(I say this in admiration. She really is that talented.)

the song was effectively originally written by abba as a break up song ; but mamma mia 2 masterfully shows us that it can truly take so many more meanings because the lyrics perfectly bend to other interpretations
Such a powerful song. Everyone who has had lost a mother or a father will definitely burst into tears.
...but i know i dont possess, with all my heart god bless you...
Nalding Ibarlin or a grand parent basically anyone your really close to
That's the line that always gets me.
It reminds me of my grand parents
1:55 Sky sees Sophie staring at the front of the church but does nothing. I'm assuming that he thought that it was best to let Sophie do what she needs. The whole scene is just so well made that after the first words are sung, I already cry...
When Donna's present self appeared, I grew very emotional.😭😭😢😢
Amanda and Meryl’s singing here was phenomenal 🥰 two earthbound angels
Donna has that smile on her face while singing the first verse when she sees her best friends and her husband interacting with the baby, and then she becomes all serious while she lovingly sings to Sophie during the second verse T.T
I. Love 💕. You. And. I. Think you are. My
2:32 - the way sophie sings ‘of’ is so beautiful
2:31
I remember watching this with my mum, the first time around this was in cinemas and yes like many I cried and this bit. And then the credits started rolling everyone started to leave but the first thing I did when I stood up was hug my mum.
Wish I could...Miss you mam😢
❤️
"Nothing and no one can break this bond" just shows a mother's love even though she's not there physically she's there spiritually🌻🌻💐💐
I've never felt this strong
I am invincible, how could this go wrong?
No, here, here's where we belong
I see a road ahead
I never thought I would dare to tread
Like an image passing by, my love, my life
In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life
I can see it all so clearly
All I love so dearly
Images passing by
Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life
Are the words I try to find, my love, my life
But I know I don't possess you
With all my heart, God bless you
You will be my love and my life
You're my one and only
I held you close to me
Felt your heartbeat and I thought I am free
Oh, yes and as one are we
In the now and beyond
Nothing and no one can break this bond
Like an image passing by, my love, my life
In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life
I can see it all so clearly
All I love so dearly
Images passing by
Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life
Are the words I try to find, my love, my life
But I know I don't possess you
With all my heart, God bless you
You are still my love and my life
Yes, I know don't possess you
With all my heart, God bless you
You are still my love and my life
You're my one and only..♥️❤️
Your. My. Girl. Friend

I’m never ok watching this. This is raw. I literally believe the emotion in this.
It always cracks me up thinking about Cher playing Meryl’s mother when they’re the same age! Those two must have shared many laughs over it.
This is what happens when Meryl Streep shows up in the movie. All eyes are now red.
It is, thats when I started crying!
Yep
I’m surprised she did. She’s notorious for not returning for sequels.
this scene makes me sob everytime, not because i miss my mom or anything cuz she's alive and everything but just because of the fact that i dont have that kind of relationship with my mother and probably never will. but seeing their bond with the music and everything just makes me question where everything went wrong between me and my mom because i want to be able to look at my mother the way sophie looked at donna.
If you can listen to this version without crying - you have a very cold heart. I remember absolutely sobbing in the cinema when i heard this. I struggle to listen to it now without getting a tear in my eye. The most beautiful version of the song. Amanda and Meryl have stunning voices and their harmonies are beautiful.
This is so great. Best storyline of the whole story is Donna keeping her baby realizing the value of life inside her., and their faith in the Sacrament of Baptism that makes Christ visible. 💕💕💕 love this so much, esp the way all eyes are adoring the baby. So moving. Well done scene. What a message.💕💕
"Yes I know I don't possess you." That's the line that gets me. Knowing that you cant stay with your loved one or that part of loving them is being willing to let them go. One to life. The other to death. That you can love your child with all your being but when it comes time to release them you must know you dont possess them, and yet they are still yours forever.
This ending scene is just perfect. The circle is closed and although will go on endlessly at the same time. The lightness, kindness, pureness and warmth in this scene and their voices are amazing. This scene breaks my heart and gives me peace at the same time. It touches the heart.
This scene touched me so much
It's 2020 and this scene still makes me cry 😭 this makes us appreciate our mother more. ♥️
I really love meryl streep and amanda seyfried's mother and daughter relationship because it feels so real. And also everybody looks like they've had a blast making both of these movies.
Everything in the video transported me to another world, the affection that they two show is incredible. Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried are the best.
I have decided to sing this song in my sister's christening, she is the person I love the most in this world and this song could not represent the moment better. I am really looking forward to the day, while I will practice as much as I can.
As a parent you never want to out live your child but as a child you never want your parents to die before you either! Loss of someone that close is absolutely soul destroying.
This scene makes me cry. What a powerful song and scene!
Donna's passing away hit me right in the guts, it's was such a beautiful and tearfull scene
I didn't see this in the theatre, and I think I'm glad. I bought the Blu-ray and sat down to watch it, not knowing the new story. It got to this scene and I completely lost it. I was a 58 year-old man and had lost my mom a couple of weeks before I saw this. It never occurred to me that a Mamma Mia movie would make me cry. I fell apart, gulping, blubbering. I'm glad it was at home so I could just FEEL and nobody would stare. Yes, men cry, too. I dearly miss my mom.
Well! I don't actually cry but I get the most fearful pain in my chest, when i watch this.
Such a POWERFUL ending this film had. Absolutely majestic & sublime in every way. Not a dry eye in the house.
A mother blessing her daughter, loving her even beyond death...ufff, I still cry
i replayed this scene over and over again the first time i watch this movie just to feel that bliss and how beautiful this scene is! the more i replay it the more my tears falls down
OMG I thought I was the only one who keep replay this scene ( and the 'I've been looking for you' scene
No one can live up to Meryls amazing and graceful acting when she passes all I know is that the world will be in deep sadness bcause of the way she shaped the acting ways in all her movies
I'm not crying you are!!!!!
so are you.
dont deny.
Love that Cher is the only one who sees Donna at 0:59 like she’s able to see her daughter again. Nice touch.
I dont think that was actually meant to happen if they wanted her to see donna they would have made it longer it just seems like when actors are slowly moving their eyes and they accidently look at the wrong thing
the moment you hear meryl’s voice and see her in the water... chills. so beautiful.
when I met that music teacher, I was a little girl thirteen years old! For me, she became something more than a simple teacher!!! She taught me not to be afraid, to believe in myself, to strive for my goals!! She is the first person that comes to my mind when I want to talk about something and I know that when I am not well she will give me an advice and a hug!!! She taught me expression through music and made me want to follow her profession too!! She became for me my role model, my strength and my second mom!! Without her I wouldn't be the person I am now!!! I can't express everything I feel for her in words, so I just tell her that I love her very much!! every time I tell her that I love her, I mean it more and more!!! She is my love and my life!!! She is my one and only!!!!! With all my heart god bless her !!!!🙏🏻💖I cry every time I hear this song !!!🥺🥹❤️❤️💕🎵🎵
She is in the movie just for 5 five minutes and she makes me cry for 5 minutes ! She's the best actress in the World ! ❤️
Listening to this on the bus on my way to work, huge mistake, what make up?! what mascara?! I am bawling, damn it!
Hands down one of the best scenes in the movie and Meryl Streeep is just divine!
No words about how much I love Meryl Streep. She's the best ever one
And then going into super trouper after this is like the biggest mood swing possible
Yes they take you from the sadness of Donna gone to a happy moment sith Super trpuper
Thank you Meryl.... I'm crying again!! 😭❤️
Meryl's feeling it and it's contagious!
A mother's love will never die
Amanda Seyfried and Meryl Streep are really amazing in that scene. They don't need to said a word, you read it all in their expressions, that's amazing!
I love this scene, paticulary when Sophie sees her mom and without saying anything you can see what she's thinking "Mom? It's you? It's realIy you. I miss you." And when Donna leaves...well I can't be the only one who cried. They both deserve an Oscar just for this scene.
This part made up for everything, seeing as Donna did not die in vain
I swear. This scene deserves an award or something. 💖
I lost my mother this year. I bawled my eyes out at this scene. Im 25 no kids yet
I'm so sorry for your loss. My mom passed in 2017 when I was 26. It's a pain that is indescribable. Sending love your way.
Your strong! She watches over you💕💕💕 god bless you so much
I'm sorry for both your losses❤
I'm so sorry for your loss, i feel your pain, i loss my mom three months ago 💗
I am sorry for your loss.. for anyone who's lost their mother. My mother is probably the strongest person I know because she lost her mom and still managed to be my mom while trying to deal with it. It's painful no matter how old you are and they showed Sophie's strength perfectly in this scene.
I bawled my eyes out when I first saw this movie. It was so unexpected to see Meryl Streep to return. I remember my best friend took me to see this in theaters as a going away present, as I was moving away and we just held each other and cried. It was like we were saying we had the best years together but it’s okay to let go.
I cry at happy and sad things, very music oriented. This is the first time my throat EVER had a lump / sensation while crying from a scene or music. the care and symbolism in both these movies are brilliant and I love them.
This is the only scene of Mamma Mia 2 that is interesting. But is an outstanding scene, so beautiful!!
One of the very few times when the cover version reaches the magic of the original ABBA song. Truly amazing.
I lost my mom going on 14 years now but this week I was laid off from a job that I gave my life to and I find myself grieving and wishing she was here to comfort me. I have a loving husband and kids but as I watched this movie and this song came on I suddenly realized how much I miss the comfort a parent (especially mom) gives when life gets rough.
omg i’m sobbing like an absolute baby, this scene gets me everytime it’s so powerful!
Best guest actor!
This film came out a month after my cousin died in a motorcycle accident, and it really hit hard. Meryl's 5 minute appearance is fabulously acted out and it almost made me feel better. She has some skills...xx
This scene made cry a lot and grieved the mother I never have… How I wish my mother loved me dearly or showed me love, affection and tenderness like in this scene…
Im a 14 year old Girl and ive watched Those movies for a thousand Times before and when i watched it Two days ago i began crying all of the sudden. Ive never cried at this Part before ❤😢
This scene tore me up in the theater when I saw it, it was so unexpected. I never knew maternal love and to suddenly see it depicted so beautifully and simply here brought back everything I knew I missed. My life has been so dark and full of pain because of what my mother did or could not do. She hated her children because she hated our father.
Further exploring Donna as a character, and diving deeper into the mother dynamic is why Mamma Mia 2 is better than the first. When I want to have fun, I watch the first. When I want an emotional experience, I watch the second one
A Total masterpiece XX
3:10 This moment when Pierce started walking behind Meryl... I just felt something so strong, inexplicable, thought for a second that he is going to touch her. That is the moment I began to cry, really.
Donna and Sam forever. ❤️
cried like a baby during this scene. it's so heartwarming and impactful that it just gets you right in the feels
My grandma passed in 2022 at easter. That Chrismas before, she got this movie on DVD. We (Me, my cousin, my mom and grandma) watched this movie when it came out in 2018. But the DVD she got christmas 2021 is still unopen. She never got the chance to watch it. This song and the "slipping through my fingers" from the first movie always being me to tears. They remind me so much of her😞😭
I cry every time
I love mamma mia so much
I feel in this song all the sadness and the joy of the connections to my mother and grandmother who were my parents and are with me always, not physically but in mind and soul forever. With love from a 70 year old fan of Meryl's and all the others, too :)
This scene always makes me cry no matter how many times i watch it
