Argentina, don't cry for me

I have to say that musicals are really an elegant art. After staying up late and watching "Evita", I couldn't calm down for a long time. I am amazed at the talent of the music director and his control over the development of the plot, as well as the actor's musical literacy and grasp of the characters' emotions, so just right. The world of music is a wonderful world, without a trace of mundane impurities, giving people a home for the poor soul, and looking for a nectar for the wandering soul. I have always had great respect for the temple of art and music, and I always felt that the divine ray of light could be defiled and criticized by an extraordinary spirit.
The whole process is connected by many songs, advanced layer by layer, accompanied by appropriate fit and situation, the feeling when you see it is very different from the usual movie, it belongs to another way of expression, I rarely watch musicals, so It is inevitable that I feel a little exhausted. Looking at the watch, it turned out that it was late at night.
Eva Peron, the eternal spiritual leader in the heart of the Argentine people, a woman from a poor country and a humble status, has established herself in the city step by step, selling her body and appearance again and again for the opportunity. I don't make any comments about her slutty life when she was young, because in that society at that time, women were never given equal opportunities. In a sense, doing so was her only chance to take advantage of those who covet her. A young and beautiful man crawls the web step by step. Starting from Mecca, she sacrificed herself time and time again to gain a foothold in fame. Perhaps it was the reason why she was an illegitimate child and was not allowed to attend her father's funeral. She was tired of being trampled on the soles of her feet. She longed to become a big man in Argentina and to change her life. To this end, she would do anything.



Looking at everything she has done from another angle, I admire her inner strength from the bottom of my heart. She has seen the city and people's hearts so clearly when she was a teenager. In countless "transactions", she has never regretted it, and she is firm and consistent. , Who would know the tears shed at night by this 15-year-old girl who just arrived in the capital? And the dignity she had to give up in order to survive, abandoned after being deceived? In karaoke halls and theaters, she devoted her youth to pursuing her dreams and putting her beliefs and pursuits into practice.
Getting to know Colonel Belon was a turning point in her life, which made her focus on politics. The miserable life of her childhood made her know too well the cruelty and helplessness of the world. She vowed to change all of this. She is for the poor. Running around and working for the poor, as she said, "burning herself for the poor", she ran around in education, social welfare, establishing foundations, and visiting orphanages. After the rainbow journey, life gradually fades, and cancer invades her health. The woman who never admitted defeat in this generation was finally defeated by cancer.
Excerpt (On the night of July 26, the broadcaster of the Argentine National Radio announced to the country with a choked voice: "Evita Veron - the soul of the country, the spiritual leader of the nation has died." A kind of grief suddenly enveloped the whole of Argentina. , life in Argentina stopped, schools closed, factories stopped... Argentines flocked to the capital Buenos Aires from all directions, trains and ships were extremely crowded, and many people traveled thousands of kilometers just to say goodbye The "rose" in their minds. On the day of the mourning, 700,000 people paid tribute to Evita's coffin. People repeatedly shouted the name of "Evita". Some people fainted from crying on the spot, and some desperately tried to kiss her. Glass coffin, 16 people were killed because of the collision. In order to calm the situation, the government had to dispatch the army to maintain order. In order to mourn her departure, the government declared a national mourning and renamed the city of La Plata as Evita Veron City.)

I still remember Madonna's Eva, the impassioned speech she gave from the balcony, and the hope in her eyes for the future. That petite woman who dares to love, dare to hate, dare to act, is brave and fearless, has a strong inner strength and dreams. When "don't cry for me Argentina" was sung, the simple and timeless melody expressed her simple wishes and dreams as an ordinary woman. She was burdened with the hopes of too many poor people, and she also hoped too much. as. In just 33 years, in historical occasions, a little is just a drop in the ocean. But maybe, as she said, if you don't achieve anything, how can you live to be fifty or sixty years old? Even if the fate of life favors her and gives her another chance to choose, I believe she will still choose to "burn her life for the poor" without any fear.



What kind of desire supports her to move forward step by step, from the bottom of the society to the first lady?
What kind of strength is it that she never regrets, never fears, hides the frailty of women in her heart, and finds a place to live alone in a city that is staggered by gongs and chips? In the process of betraying her body again and again, what kind of beliefs supported her to face the injustice of fate bravely, and never complained against others?
What was her original intention to support her in dedicating her life to the poor?

Perhaps 33 years of life is too short, not giving her enough time to realize her dreams and complete her plans for the future.
But she gave every Argentine a dream and gave them more hope and hope for the future. Maybe you would say that she just made an empty promise, but she spent her life implementing it.
For her wild days, I think we should report a more tolerant attitude. Maybe we will say that she has achieved her goals in the wrong way, but we have never had the right to ask everyone to use the so-called correct way. to get what they want. Whose life will always be perfect and flawless? Who can assert that in the face of the cruel, helpless and desperate reality, is it correct and really able to achieve the goal? Maybe just to get a permission, you have to wait with all your strength. I think, in fact, we have no right to make any comments on Eva, because in a sense, she is more valuable to the world than us, she conforms to and promotes its trend forward, that is What we cannot.
Her beauty and hope for that country will live on in the world forever.


The line "Don't cry for me Argentina, the truth is that I never left you" from Madonna's singing always echoes in my head.
At that moment, tears fell silently.
I was shocked and moved by this amazing woman.

Yeah, sixty years later, Argentines are still crying for her, and she never left...


I love you and hope you love me...

PS: Don't cry for me Argentina

It won't be easy
You'll think it strange

When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love
After all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl
You once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I have to let it happen
I have to change
Couldn 't stay all my life down that hill
Looking out of the window
Staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around

Trying everything new
But nothing me at all
I never expected it to
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise

Don't keep your distance
And as for fortune
And as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world
They were all I desired
They are the illusion
They are not the solution
They promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me
Don't cry for me Argentina

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more
I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is
Look at me to know
That every word is true
