![]() ![]() From the opening minutes, in which Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), a young pleasure seeker on the eve of her wedding, greets her two bridesmaids as they arrive on a jetty, yelping with delight like unweaned puppies, you can tell that everyone in this story is just going to have the best time. Billy Wilder tried the same trick with “Avanti!,” in 1972, but that felt like late Chekhov compared with this ferocious onslaught of obligatory good cheer. Like many people, I was under the impression that the new Meryl Streep film was called “Mamma Mia.” The correct title is, in fact, “Mamma Mia!,” and, in one keystroke, the exclamation mark tells you all you need to know about the movie. ![]() Hazard of the modern musical: Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan on a Greek island, singing the Abba songbook. ![]()

With fiery rhetoric, authoritative insight, outrageous humour and broad-ranging debate, Greer shows that, although women have indeed come a very long way in the last thirty years, the notion of our 'having it all' has disguised the persistent discrimination and exploitation that continues to exist for women in the basic areas of health, sex, politics, economics and marketing.Įrudite, eccentric, provocative and invigorating, Germaine Greer once again sets the agenda for the future of feminism. Germaine Greer proclaims that the time has come to get angry again! Modern feminism has become the victim of unenlightened complacency, and what started out in the Sixties as a movement for liberation has become one that has sought and settled for equality. THIRTY YEARS AFTER THE FEMALE EUNUCH, GERMAINE GREER RETURNS TO THE SUBJECT OF FEMINISM, WITH THE BOOK SHE VOWED SHE WOULD NEVER WRITE. ![]() ![]() ![]() The imagery of sage can be seen as a symbol for resistance, toughness, and the fight to carry on your beliefs and the principles which you believe in. Even during the climax of the novel, as Jane and Lassiter flee from their pursuers, there horses run past miles of sage. When Venters barely survives an attack by Tull, we see the imagery of the sagebrush. ![]() When Jane and Lassiter meet, there is sage all around them, springing up new life as they mourn Milly Erne's death. Not only does this plant hold a position in the title of the book, it also appears at many important events in the book. It has thick and woody stems, light green leaves, and beautiful flowers that are a rich purple color when in full bloom. Sage is a word for a variety of plants used together as spices added to food during cooking, and is also the shortened term for sagebrush.
