MAMMA MIA! (2008) + tags about Colin Firth

does anyone have that gif set handy where an interviewer asks Colin Firth “so when you meet the Creator at the pearly gates when you die - what do you hope he’ll say?” and Colin Firth replies: “I thought you were quite good in Mamma Mia.”

Colin Firth understood the assignment.

(gif source)

He wasn’t just good in Mamma Mia, he took the role specifically because of that outfit. I saw an interview where he said that he went “weak in the knees” when he saw it. We see you Colin Firth!

@yeolyeah sorry babe I can’t remember your other username 😂 but look! Colin!

In bonobo societies, all bonobos frequently engage in sexual contact with other members of the community, regardless of sex. Female bonobos in particular are quite promiscuous with both fellow females and males; thus, bonobo society is matrilineal or matrifocal. Since the patriline of each member is unknown due to female bonobos having many sexual partners, the female bonobos take communal care of their collective young, and the male bonobos take on other community-care roles instead. It is theorized that this leads to lower levels of violent conflict, as opposed to chimpanzee, human, and other primate societies that are patriarchal, since male members of these societies must find ways to identify their offspring which inevitably leads to violent, controlling behavior toward female members as well as violence & competitive behavior toward other males who may pose a threat to their social statuses. Bonobo societies are extremely peaceful in comparison to other primate societies.

The feature musical film Mamma Mia! (2008), directed by Phyllida Lloyd, shows an example of what a matrifocal society, resembling the structure of bonobo society, could look like for humans; where several females care for a child whose exact paternity is unknown, and instead of violence resort to prosocial behavior (joyfully singing and dancing) in order to resolve conflict. In this essay I will attempt to

no because I think I'm very funny
