Heart itty bitty body is falling apart T_T

[syzygy58]

If only Imelda Marcos was like her, she could have been loved by the people as they did with Eva.

she was able to transmitted emotions in her music.

[hibariflow]

Makes me cry .,,,,

[mandapaige1]

I love the musical and all but realistically? Evita wasn't really this revolutionary leader. All she and her husband did was take the money away from the rich (making them bankrupt) and give it away to poor instead of creating jobs. This then caused even more inflation and Argentina. Peron also killed off many of his advisors so after he finally fled to Spain after Eva's death the country had no way of dealing with the crisis....

[marce2409]

@mandapaige1 The revolutionary leader was indeed Peron. You don´t know anything about Argentine history if you say something so simple as that. Prior to Peron´s first presidential period (1945-1951) the labor rights did not exist at all. Workers were simply slaves, with no decency granted by the reigning legislation. Peron was the first to give unions the real power that still today can bring some profit to the ones in the base of the production pyramid. He gave the people real dignity.

[ar2014]

@marce2409 que bueno es enseñarle historia a los yanquis, no? jaja. yo me harto de aclararles que peron no era ningun genocida o nazi

[marce2409]

@mandapaige1 He also had to face the hatred of the rich and powerful who saw his fight for equality as a hazzard to their (until then) almighty will, and a tremendous war against Catholic Church authorities, who did everything in their hands to help overthrone him, with no respect for the over 50% who elected him for another period (1951-1957) The military took the power by force causing more than 1000 civilian deaths and exiled him to Spain, he didn´t fleed.

[marce2409]

@mandapaige1 He was never indicted to comit murder, so how can you say that he actually killed people? Don´t you think that he should have faced charges if he was taken that way from being president of the nation, having all those powerful and treacherous enemies? Doesn´t make sense at all. One thing you´re right about, and it was the economic situation of the country, but not after Eva´s death, 3 years later. Nevertheless, a military coup d´etát was in no way a better loophole to that crisis.

[marce2409]

@mandapaige1 He never had to face charges for murder, although he was taken from the presidency by the military and was surrounded by powerful and raging enemies. He was alleged to have prosecuted opponents and political rivals to jail, but never killed anyone. He went against tabloids that were relentlessly critical, most of the times defending interests of the rich with no care for the naked truth. He never raised arms against the people unlike others who didn´t mind massacre a few or many.

[marce2409]

@mandapaige1 Finally I can assure you as an Argentine that no other government (democratic or tyrant) did worse for economy than military regimes. They were the ones to increase our foreign debt to outer space figures. So, if there was such crisis in 1955 (3 years after Eva´s death), the military were not the ones to garantee a fair way out. The powerful and rich men were fed up of Peron´s populistic (no for being this, less important for common people), and wanted to hold the grip again.

[Cmarker38751]

This was truly a part of a lifetime for Madonna! Incredible!

[theman8398]

patti lupone does it better

[nicolemonrue]

great job madonna...she needs a director to keep her ass in check!

[wheels37]

@nicolemonrue Completely true! In sense, Alan Parker completely knew how to direct her! xx

[Michelle5119]

she was brillaint in this

[JAKEHasArrived]

This is such an emotional scene, but Madonna sings it like a pop star. I seriously lose all emotion hearing her singing this song kills me. If you really want to hear Evita, listen to the original broadway cast with Patti Lupone. That's an Evita, this isn't.

[ilovemusicals11]

she was loyal to him to the end....

sort of.

[felinpunx]

ah jeez, w/ just this one video, i spilled tears. great expressions

[Janessa1198]

I always tear up when she sings "I'm Argentina, and always will be"

[mainer48]

yes Eva, did everything for the poor and children!! the richard hated her because she tand peron took more taxes out of them no more free ride for the rich, the only thing Evita did wa slike to spend money on clothes etc just like anyother woman,she wanted to look nice for her people she herself came from poor and knew what it was like, and if not for her, Peron would have never been in office s long and as much rest in deep peace EVA

[floritka85]

The way they sing/say "Evita!" Is eerie. :S

[Alguienteamaahora]

I think Madonna is an example of perseverance, but that perseverance is not always good. For example, in this case, Madonna insisted endlessly Parker for acceptance in the role of Evita. The result is a clear sign of his inability to assume a role as difficult to interpret the dramatic depth and complexity of the character of Evita Peron. I believe that success is not synonymous with talent. Think carefully before "act. "

[readsportgirl]

i do not care wat anybody has to say about her, no one should die like that. evil or not. its a hard and sad way to go

[gem0730rose]

our theater class in our school had a stage play just like this..also about evita and it's exactly like this!

[HouseOnSunset]

@gem0730rose As in the original musical that this movie is based on? *HEADDESK*

[gem0730rose]

I really love this movie!

[spabby725]

I cry every time! :'( 

[MrHarringtonUK]

Fantastic. Such a shame that 3 people accidently pushed the dislike button.

[AliaSparrow]

Wow, Madonna. As Evita. She's no Patti Lupone, but... but... Oh Madonna...

[eugenioluis67]

i love argentina



[BoboEdwin]

Evita..one was world premiere great.show...on the 90's...

[linzy989]

she was amazing- this is so sad :'(

[NathanJesseMcCarthy]

though it may get harder... for you to see me < saddest line :( xx

[cagadeira007]

this movie is perfect so strong to watch and madonna was the perfect evita. they actyually have similiar lifes. hope madonna doesnt die soon. madonna is huge. huge heart,huge mind. shes everything. without her wouldnt have britney gag and those arists

[cagadeira007]

@pablorubiolugo madonna is amazing! if she hasnt any talent she would be #1 female artist in history. shes huge

[LeppyLuck]

... it kills me to listen to her stutter through the last lines, even though its acting

[gudynet02]

This is too sad :'(

[soccerreadingkid]

i would love for all the haters out there to grow up the way she did, then die the way she did. she died in so much pain, she work herself to death for the people.

[Maddie1026]

@soccerreadingkid She bankrupted Argentina and died of cancer. This musical makes her look like a better person than she actually was because it's shows the public image of Evita not what was going on behind closed doors.

[grandmagrumpy]

@Maddie1026 OTOH, the opposition, the anti-Peronists, did everything in their power to discredit her. Anything with her name or initials on it was destroyed, including polio vaccine. She was not perfect, but the oligarchy and military made a mess of things before and after the Peron era. Do you really think that THEIR elections were fair?

After Peron was exiled, the govt made it a crime to possess pictures of Eva or Peron, punishable by death. Sounds paranoid to me.

[riverlioness]

@Maddie1026

I love the musical, but the truth is that an entertainer is not a suitable states woman. I shudder when entertainers voice their political views, because few are educated in economics.

[MissMarianParoo]

@Maddie1026 But that's what so great about the movie. It shows you how easy it must have been for the people to get caught up in that public image of her, but it always brings you back to the reality of it with Che's critisism.

[FFLF1980]

foi a mais bela interpretação de madonna,um belissimo filme e uma produção extraordinaria!

[eliud82]

In real life, Evita made this annoucement through in a radio message. After being told that her cancer had spread and was terminal.

[ruben20001]

esta pelicula me parecio una payasada total ,,,,,,si quieren saber quien fue Eva Peron vayan a buscar informacion a libros.

[GoddessofCoruscant]

@ruben20001 I have read information ab out Eva, in both pro and anti Peronist books. I'm sorry to say that the cons far outweigh the pros. Her economic policies(or rather, her husband's-- Eva was not a feminist at all, she just blindly worshipped and followed Peron) bankrupted Argentina, and Eva was a narcissitic woman who loved only herself. I'm sorry that you've been fooled by her. Now flame me all you want. I don't care.

[anisete46]

another beautiful thing about this film... even the extra's faces show great acting skills..

[soccerreadingkid]

@evapersonfan i totaly respect evita and ur right her husband is a jerk, it like your wifes dieing and your not crying or anything

[evaperonfan]

@soccerreadingkid apparently he was devastated when his first wife died. My guess is that he wanted Eva for what she could do for him politically, and he wasted all his love on his first wife.

[soccerreadingkid]

@evaperonfan if you look carefully at peron he is smiling wtf. he rly did love his first wife, mabye he loved eva, but never loved his third wife, AND eva peron was so weak that she fainted after this

[evaperonfan]

@soccerreadingkid @soccerreadingkid right. I think the musical has their relationship on Eva's part wrong, but the way Juan treated her right. Eva loved him a lot, and in my opinion, she was just a tool in her husband's hands. In my eyes, he brainwashed her to do all those speeches for him. She didn't get her own ideas until she wanted to be vice president, and he took that away from her.

[soccerreadingkid]

@evaperonfan who knows i wished she never died, she did alot. and it sad to that the rich and the miliarty were poping wine bottles when she died, they were happy she died, the poor were sad and angery that she died. they were angery that she died they blamed her

[evaperonsuclks]

@soccerreadingkid they were popping wine bottles because they thought that Argentina would be saved. Unfortunately, the damage was done.

[soccerreadingkid]

@evaperonsuclks no they were popping wine bottles cause they hated her

[soccerreadingkid]

do you guys see how peron smiling the whole time. what the hell

[evaperonfan]

@soccerreadingkid Peron is such an ass. I respect Eva, but I hate her husband. She loved him and he treated her like dirt.

[soccerreadingkid]

she fainted in real life after this :<

[michaelajenks]

I started crying.

This is beautiful. Though this was not Madonna best singing, it wasn't supposed to be. Her character was dying form cervical cancer, and she was weak. this was an emotional part, not a skill part

[ultimabass]

Gotta say 3:19 to the end is just beautiful, love the strings parts... wonderful.

[DonBringer]

my god! cervical cancer vaccine was invented in the year of 1970's? why not 1930's or 1940's! god damn it!

[mmmsquirrelpie]

I like the way it is sung, it gives her a vulnerability that shows how weak the character is grwoning

[sasukevsnaruto101]

Madonna was amazing in this movie, a stunning performance. The whole film was great but Antonio Banderas looked nothing like Che Guevara. Still, loved it! <3

[xxIdinaxx]

He's not supposed to BE Che Guevara, he's just there to represent his ideas and such.

[Peadarisback]

@xxIdinaxx but his idea's are NOTHING like Che's ideas....Che was a communist...

read "Che Guevara: a revoultionary life" by Jon Lee Anderson.

In the Evita stage/film musical Che is more like a self-rightous, westren intellect who wanted to live under a so-called democray...and despised Eva.

Really the Che in the musical is nothing like Che (Gueverra)

except Gueverra was Argentinian by birth

[streepology]

Love the moment between her and Peron when they hug =)

[TheMouseAvenger]

Me, too... ^_^

[theHobbes2]

this is so not "Madonna"... a real charakter, she made... great!

[lostlyrarose]

I think she sang this too high.

[stephanos12]

She is suppose to be sick and as such her voice breaking. like dah!

[lostlyrarose]

lol. I'm not talking about the voice breaking, but the octave.

[KenTelevision]

Is it that or did she really sacrificially believe she should begin to live the life of a more-naturalized citizen in Solidarity with other people? She was not poor by any standard no; but being a Proletarian at heart she gave back enough power to allow even True-Feminism and International-Communism to flourish.

[laydeehfrisko415]

I think onikalove and eliud82 needa shut up!

[evaperonfan]

Why? They're just stating historical facts.

[onikalove]

why should eliude82 and I shut up becauase we not ignorant and foolish like you and that we have an intelleteual and historical debate? are you jealous that you not as intelligent as us. you are the one who needs to be quiet

[thegreatfriend]

yeah dude, you're on youtube discussing history. Maybe not intelligent, but smells like social retard...

[2pintsluver]

thanks goddessofhyrule :)

[2pintsluver]

i wonder what she died ov ?

[GoddessofHyrule]

uterine cancer.

[TheMouseAvenger]

I hear it was cervical cancer.

[eliud82]

Eva died of cancer in 1952, she was 33 years old. The same age Madonna's mother was when she died of cancer.

[2pintsluver]

woah so young man how do u know so much? lol u looked it up duh thanks dude x

[TheMouseAvenger]

OMG, what an unfortunate--& bizarre--coincidence! :O

[brotmann86]

i really like madona but i know that shes not the best actress. but in evita she was just the best eva peron ever (on stage..)

[Dogos73]

@brotmann86 no one would have done , or will do ever a better evita!

[liettennabenna]

how can't I cry when I see this scene?

[emlodik]

Sarah Palin?

[3l3n43]

the poor people have always been on evita's side because she always helped them! the rich people hated her.

[GoddessofHyrule]

that is true.

[TheMouseAvenger]

Yes, you're exactly right. :-)

[Peadarisback]

@3l3n43 the rich people were classist snobs.

[riverlioness]

@3l3n43

Politicians only help poor people because there are so many of them. Secretly, their motives are selfish. They are buying your approval.

The truth is much harder for people to accept. The only true help is helping oneself.

[xpo50]

@riverlioness So? It is a mutually beneficial agreement and the way democracy works. you do certain things to get elected or to gain popularity. In some cases that involves helping the poor in other places it involves catering to the upper class. Why complain about aiding the poor just because someone else benefited?

[riverlioness]

@xpo50

I am complaining about the free lunch myth wrecking the economy. The uneducated majority haven't the slightest clue of economic principles. Democracy sacrifices quality for quantity. The majority IQ score is bordering on dull by 10-19 points. Voters should have, at least, a 120 IQ. 30,000 votes are just as effective at winning an election than 2million. The productive have always been more beneficial to politicians in taxable income. Why settle for a smaller slice of the pie for votes?

[PopCulture20]

@riverlioness YOUUUUU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ECONOMY CRASHING!!!

[riverlioness]

@PopCulture20

Do you need some psychotropic medication for that outburst?

[MikeBrew328]

@3l3n43 She destroyed the economy!

[xpo50]

@MikeBrew328 I really don`t think that we can have a frank discussion of the Argentine economic situation on Youtube. Furthermore SHE had no actual power, it was Juan Peron who enacted all the legislation, she only suggested and supported.

[GoddessofHyrule]

this is so sad, but I don't understand why they're putting up sympathy for Eva when they've been so against her the whole time.

[eliud82]

Let's be realistic here, Eva wouldn't have been able to achive what she achived if she didn't have at least some of the rich on her side. She couldn't have been able to do it alone. And lets face it, is not like Juan Peron was so enthusiastic about helping her. We all know that he basically used Eva as a tool to stay in power and at the end, ended up outshinning him.

[onikalove]

i don't think you are being fair to Juan Peron, the man loved her, he was devasted by all accounts when he found out she was dying and he said on his death he was happiest with evita and he was married to another woman. and you msut remember it was not the masses that overthrown Juan Peron it was the army and the elite the same people who didn't like evita and didn't want her to be vice president. Juan Peron was in an awkward position alienate the army who had power or alienate his wife.

[onikalove]

and did not use her, Juan Peron didn't need evita persay, he was still popular, in his own right and evita was not a saint, she had her days. in all accounts you might come to the conclusion that Evita was using Peron because in he was the one that was showing the love, the affection and emotions in private and public but she was not too keen on the affection thing. Juan and Eva loved eachother they wellmatched if any using were taking place, it must be said they were using each other
