Monotonous plot, exaggerated acting

I didn't notice it was a musical before watching this movie, I only knew that the heroine was Madonna, the queen of music.
When I clicked the play button on the player and gradually found out that this video was a musical, I was a little helpless: because I didn't like musicals, I thought it was too exaggerated.
Watching this film patiently, the first half is about a poor illegitimate daughter who grows up and falls in love with a married singer. She wants to go to the big city and follow her lover to Buenos Aires. , was eventually abandoned. With no money, no power, and no talent, she gradually became famous by selling her looks and rose step by step. If this part of the plot is old-fashioned, in the film, the heroine Eva and Colonel Veron, who forcibly won military power, met and were appreciated by Veron.

Veron was imprisoned, and Eva continued to raise her arms and shout to excuse Veron and confuse the crowd. Veron was released from prison, and Eva continued to speak, visit, and show with her. Veron reached the pinnacle of power and became the president. Eva, who became the mother of the country at the age of 26, was still giving speeches, interviews, and performances.
In the end, Eva became ill from overwork and died young at the age of 33.
I don't know if Eva and Veron are really in love, but they are definitely the best partners, a very tacit and ambitious couple.
After watching the whole film, what impresses me most is the repeated chorus of the audience (every time they sing, I feel that politics is really a gorgeous self-deception), and the most scene-stealing and loudest in history. male narrator. The irony of the film makes me feel similar to Animal Farm.
At the end of the film, I habitually checked the information. It turns out that "Mrs. Veron" does have someone in history, and Mrs. Veron herself seems to be more beautiful and temperamental than Madonna...
