This song is exactly what started going through my head while I was watching the inauguration this morning. I actually started mouthing it to myself while watching his speech!
Although it would be a stretch to compare Peron and Obama politically, both are similar in the amount of populism and attempts to be seen as saviors of the downtrodden masses in times of darkness (although, if you know much about Latin American History, this is not exactly anything new or innovative).
I remember that by the time of this movie release I was not interested in it at all. Some years after that I watched Evita in DVD. I LOVED IT! Awesome movie.
I don't agree, i personally think he singing is forced pretty. You know, she vibrates it too much. But I don't mean that against you, you can think she's the best :)
I loved Madonna as Evita. For me, she did a splendid job capturing her life beautifully and made it accessible for many ppl over the world.
I'm Argentinian and know about Eva more than many people, alright? Madonna's performance was excellent in terms of realism, maybe not dramatic shit but she really got in Eva's skin.
I meant I prefer Evita in the theater. I have opportunity to see and hear some of them. Sorry mistakes, English is not my first language. I liked A. Banderas at this movie.
this movie is increadible. Che (Antonio Banderas) is amazing. all the actors did a fanaminal job. increadible. nice job on the flats and sharps Che!!!!
It's a musical. It's not going to tell every side of the story. That's impossible. In the making of the stage show, ONE opinion of Evita was chosen. The one against Eva. You can't well have it both ways in a show. You'd confuse the hell out of your audience, and the show would have no point. Learn about musicals, and then form a *reasonable* opinion on how the show should've been made. Not to mention that shows don't HAVE to be completely historically accurate. It's not a damn biography...
do you really have nothing better to do than devote your time to hating a political figure who died so many years ago? instead of complaining of problems in the past do something about the problems we are facing today
For those of us that love Evita, there is nothing anyone can say to change that. There is no such thing as a perfect person. We all have good and bad things we are responsible for. It is not for us to judge. She was beautiful, powerful and she loved her people and they loved her; she did what she felt she could for them and that is MUCH MORE then most do for those less fortunate than themselves. Viva Evita.. you will never be forgotten.
I do find it interesting that the West finds the leaders of Argentina so fascinating. Mrs Kirchner has been on every internacional TV channel this month.
My point: From what I read in our books, Eva & Isabel were both married to Mr Peron. Both were members of the Peron Judicial Party. Isabel was a politican in the 70s who led the Argentine. I read in the papers that Isabel was arrested in Europe for her role in starting the Dirty War. If Isabel is corrupt, does not Eva Peron share her traits, since she was Peronista' and married to the same man? We cannot gloss over any bad that any Argentine leader has done in the past, even Evita.
Isabel became president after Peron died... And while she was president Jorge Videla overthrew her... And as I recall Jorge Videla was the bad guy. There was a whole fuss in The Netherlands, because our crownprince married Maxima Zorreguieta, daughter of Jorge Zorreguieta, who was with Videla's party during that time...
And the real Che Guevara was just a gentleman who didn't use guns & kill people. For the record, no one other than Eva Peron herself knows what her motivations were. Not Webber, not Rice,not the Anti-Peronistas & not the millions of critics who get their history out of one-sided tabloid/yellow journalism masked as historical biographies.
At least Eva built thousands of establishments such as orphanages, homes, hospitals (over 100), schools (over 1000), nursing homes, shelters, vacation spots & sent food, medicine, clothing, blood plasma to countries such as Isreal, Ecuador, the US all within 6 short years. Historians/scholars like Joseph Page, Robert Crassweller, Julie Taylor, Maryssa Navarro paint a completely different picture of her. That's a fact.
Doesn't anyone realize what's going on here? While Eva is receiving communion and the children's choir sings her praises, Peron has sent the police on horseback to squash the dissenters who are protesting against the Peronist regime. This scene is similar to the one in THE GODFATHER, where the title character is attending the baptism of his grandson while his hatchet men carry out the assassination orders.
The society women in Argentina at the time would've begged to differed with you. They saw Eva as a tramp and nothing else. In fact, they were wont to say that Eva was no lady, much less the first.
That's cos it was the first time in their history that a YOUNG woman stood up against them. A 26, 27, 28 year old woman caused tension within the military & made the corrupt aristocracy shake in their boots like no other political leader in history. Eva was the first to put a stop to the Landed gentrys exploitation of her sex/gender & her class. People seem to forget the treatment/exploitation/social unrest that occured in Argentina prior to 1945.
this is my favorite song on the entire movie, i loved the moment where Che falls down on the street after hiding for those cops. thank you for uploading this!
Looks similar to the Obama worship.
