I remember mama movie11/14/2022 I REMEMBER MAMA MOVIE MOVIE"I Remember Mama" is not all about Mama as there is this wonderful stream of humour which creeps through out the movie be it from the mean Aunts to the boisterous Uncle Chris who visits from up North. It is basically real, touching and beautiful. But you also see the pain of motherhood many times but none more so when her youngest goes to hospital and Mama having been told she can't see her daughter for 24 hours after the op can't stop worrying and fretting over having promised to be there. When she is working out what they can afford and constantly sacrifices the money she has put by for a warm coat you get a real sense of family first but you also get the wisdom when her sisters come to her looking for advice and she uses what she knows to help them out. And at the centre of that warm hug is Irene Dunne as Mama, a woman who exudes warmth but also respect and it doesn't take long to fall in love with her. Now that makes it very sentimental, very nostalgic and to those not use to innocent cinema might find it corny but to those like me who were brought up on the likes of "The Waltons" steeped in traditional family values it is like a warm hug. And there are a lot more of these episodes all of which combine not to tell a story but to build the character of Mama, a mother who lives for her family and they love her for doing so. I REMEMBER MAMA MOVIE HOW TONow those series of events include budgeting the money which father Lars brings in to how to deal with a sick cat. "I Remember Mama" is the sort of movie which doesn't really have a storyline but more of a series of episodes in the Hanson household where Martha is better known as Mama. It is for me beautiful, a heart warming tale of family love with a wonderful layer of humour and performances which are just perfect. Here we have a nostalgic tale of a Norwegian family living in San Francisco in 1910 and the focus is on Mama, a mother who in this day and age almost seems alien as she lived for her family, making sure they didn't go without and being the wise head in a crisis. "I Remember Mama" was made back in 1948 but this is a movie whose modern appeal is to those who grew up on the wholesome and homely tales in "The Waltons".
