Evita uses her unique personal charm (including origin, experience and appearance) to overrule all the "rabble" in Argentina. Anyone who has studied a little sociology or political science understands that the collective behavior generated by the gathering of people is often irrational and easily guided by a powerful voice. The changes in Argentina's political arena, Eva's speech and lobbying to the people (she is also an announcer, which is perfect for the spread of public opinion), to the election of Peron, the whole thing looks like a stage skillfully arranged by the ruler. A false carnival created by the fanatical cooperation of the rabble in the audience.
No prior knowledge of Evita's own life has been done. When I watched this film, all I saw was a political "scam".
From beginning to end, she is always the ambitious small-town girl who is afraid of poverty and squeezes into the upper class at all costs. I don't see even the slightest bit of her real contribution to Argentina, other than challenging the upper class' privilege. Maybe Madonna played her too wild and shameless? Or maybe she is just such a person herself. It was a great irony that she was later named "Our Lady of Argentina".
She took advantage of her beauty to seize all possible opportunities, and after successfully catching a big fish, she wisely closed her hands. However, at this time, only men could no longer satisfy her appetite. She wants more power, even to the point of subjugating the whole country. Later, she wanted the whole world to surrender to her.
Her grasp of the part she plays is admirable. She knew she was going to 'rainbow'. She's going to decorate herself, put on a big smile, and hold hands and hugs with Peron. She wants to be the darling of the people, to continue to maintain the illusion of democracy and prosperity. The characteristics of Actress have never left her, she really played the first lady as a part.
But the people are not fools. Farmers know that their land has not increased and their rations have not increased. Eva continued to play with the power that was already supreme at this time, and set up a so-called fund. She continued to play with the cult of the people and wanted to have the same real power as her husband to become vice president.
She died at the age of thirty-three. But she has just completed her life just right.
If she continues to live, I am afraid that the only way to clean up the political situation full of loopholes is to embark on the road of totalitarianism. After passing away, she is more like a spiritual symbol, respected and missed. Whenever the seemingly magical syllables of 'Evita' are recited, people will think of the era when the interests of the bottom people were constantly being raised, and the warnings brought by the Peron regime. As a girl from the bottom society, what more can I ask for in such a state of life?
The first time I saw this movie, I didn't really like the music in it. But their magic soon became apparent. For the next two or three days those notes were pounding and reverberating in my mind. The lyrics and rhythm are too graphic. Sure enough, the charm of musicals is endless~
