You Must Love Me-"Madame Veron" Film Critic

When Evita Duarte met Juan Peron for the first time, he said to him: "I'd b surprisingly good for u." It was only 20 seconds before they met. This sentence has been lingering in my mind since I saw "Madame Veron" for the first time. What kind of self-confidence is necessary for her to say this confidently in front of a handsome man who enjoys the popularity of the country, who is most likely to be a future leader, as a socialite? Also unforgettable is Madonna's "Yes, oh yes". What kind of urgency is that? Is it hard to suppress the excitement of the first encounter with the sweetheart, or is it a kind of ecstasy at the dawn of a dream that has only appeared in the heart for a long time but has never been clear, or is it an extremely firm belief and grasp of the future? I have never felt that just three words can bring such a big shock. The Evita in the film, calm and elegant, couldn't help answering like this when Peron asked. This beautiful girl who started chasing her dreams with her body since the age of 15 did not really see the dawn of her dreams shining into reality until today. After a brief period of excitement, she introduced herself neither humble nor arrogant, and sincere self-recommendation, that kind of demeanor and self-confidence, which many ladies in the upper class do not possess. At this time, who would have thought of the country girl who was abandoned by a third-rate singer in the corridor of an apartment in Buenos Aires? The illegitimate daughter of a farmer who can bully even the middle class at will? That degenerate girl who can only hang around between the beds of different men in exchange for a little bit of staying space? This strong girl, who was unwilling to live for a long time, finally ushered in a turning point in her life when she was 26 years old. And at this turning point, I grasped the short-lived opportunity in time and used it to its extreme.

Peron had had women before, and Evita knew this well. Beautiful appearance alone was not enough to keep this man's heart. When seeing the scene where Evita drives away Peron’s ex-wife (or lover), the “Hello and Goodbye” in response to the scene appropriately expresses her attitude towards that woman-although she directly removed the woman from Peron’s bedroom Drive out, but the words are more earnest persuasion. Maybe, in her, when did Evita not see who she was back then? However, in society at that time, young girls with no background or background had no choice but to sell their bodies if they wanted to stand out. They had nothing but their bodies. Evita is lucky, she has a very high emotional intelligence and a bright mind. Let her be enough in such a patriarchal society, overlooking the rest of the women who are making a living. For this day, Evita struggled for 11 years.

Unforgettable, the little girl who was thrown out by her father’s legal wife at the father’s funeral and wept sadly because she was an illegitimate daughter; the little girl who watched her father’s body go away, accompanied by the dust in the sky, sobbing and crying. girl. Unforgettable, the beautiful girl who announced that she would enter Buenos Aires at the age of 15 to become Big Apple; the beautiful girl who would wave goodbye to the past on the far away train. She said that she was born with Buenos Aires air. Unforgettable, the woman who walks alone with the simple suitcase; the woman who can only wander in the tavern and sobbing, looking for the next target that can provide shelter. Madonna's "Another suitcase in another hall" is perfect for heartbreaking. No matter how rational people are, they can't stop sobbing when they hear the phrase "What happens now? Where am I going to?" Buenos Aires is so big, but there is no room for a small Evita. Everyone wants to step on her, like a dirty rag doll. Unforgettable, the woman who finally decided to give up the pursuit of love in the face of the cold reality, sang "There is no one, no one at all, never has been and never will ba lover, male or female..." with the God of Destiny. . That was her complaint to all the men who treated him as a plaything, and it was also the most thorough answer to the relationship between men and women. Unforgettable, that thin woman, with her weak shoulders, supported a scene of the poor Argentine. She was singing the scene of "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" on the balcony of Casa Rosada.

Adrew Webb is worthy of being a master of the opera world. Evita's mood at every moment is fully expressed by appropriate music. The bitterness of arriving at Buenos Aires for the first time, the perseverance of dreams, the joy of encountering Peron for the first time, and the great achievements in politics in the future. Evita's life is a life built by countless legends. When she crashed down, Peron's downfall and domestic political turmoil followed. Evita's departure is the end of an era. There are too many good songs in this movie, but what really impressed me was the song "Peron's Latest Flame". There was a scene where many soldiers shouted against Peron's choice of Evita while taking a bath. This part of the director's handling is indeed unique. The soldiers said that she was born humble and had a bad reputation, but said these things in the bath. Does this mean that Evita is the object of most of them? When they are jerking off in the shower, are they all thinking about Evita? They shouted that Evita was using Peron to climb to the throne of the highest power center in this country, and at the same time they said "Should u wish to cause great distress in the tidiest offcer's mess just mention her name" , No matter how good an officer is, he will be chaotic)" shouting "That is not funny", which shows that there is indeed something wrong. Evita is nothing but an unstoppable fantasy object for their shameless lust. They hate this kind of thought in their hearts, because Evita is a poor socialite from a humble background, but they don't know that the most disgusting one is themselves. Those who advertise how upright and upright can't help but want to make mistakes when they see Evita's beauty. Is this to blame Evita himself? Frankly speaking, in my opinion, the performance of this piece of music in the film is the most brilliant.

In the film, Antonio Banderas has always appeared as a bystander in Evita’s life. Sometimes he showed Evita’s life to everyone in the cinema; sometimes he joined the parade and appeared as a critic (in fact, he praised Evita); sometimes He played the role of a boiler worker in rags and sometimes fell on the battlefield with bruises. He witnessed all Evita's downfall, frustration, and success. In the end, he danced with Evita to help the audience understand Evita's mentality after a serious illness. In particular, those few generalizations of Evita's life, and ridiculous tunes of reality, let people experience his wide range, and at the same time, they have a deeper understanding of the formation of Evita's character and the background of the times.

All of these have made "Madame Veron" such a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. It is worth mentioning that Mmadonna has made great contributions to this film as a queen-level figure in the music industry. It was said that Robert Stigwood was planning to invite the famous director Alan Parker to shoot and specially paid a lot of money to invite him to a certain yacht. Parker refused and said that he was tired of making such films. Stigwood was so angry that he even knocked him on the head with a golf club. He couldn't think of a more suitable director for the film, so the script was shelved. Interestingly, Parker has been regretting not taking this movie in the next 15 years. It wasn't until 1996, 15 years later, that Stigwood found him again, and he agreed without hesitation. At that time, Madonna, who was already a queen in the music industry, took the initiative to ask for it, and wrote a four-page long letter to the director requesting to play Evita. And it took four months to concentrate on studying vocal music, and the entire film was recorded for four to five months. Music accounts for more than 95% of movies. Slow work and meticulous work, no wonder all the music in the film is so good. There is also the Spanish lover Antonio Banderas, who played the other leading role. It is said that he also took the initiative to play the role. In order to get this role, he could not even pay for it, and invited the director to a restaurant for dinner. During the meal, he sang all the Che's songs in the play in detail, which made the customers in the restaurant fascinated at the time and made the director make up his mind. Requisition him. In this way, a well-made music film history was born. It is said that Madonna was unanimously opposed by the Argentine people when she was determined to play Evita, but they saw Sister Na’s perseverance and hard work. When the crew went to shoot in Argentina, they received unprecedented support, and the Argentine government even agreed to lend. The balcony of the Presidential Palace. When Madonna sang the classic song "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" on the balcony of the Presidential Palace, the Argentine extras with more than 4,000 people on the scene were so emotional that they burst into tears. Such legends all add extra points to this excellent movie.

I don’t know when I fell in love with music and movies. I don’t need a big dance scene or a gorgeous stage background. As long as those exquisite and stunned songs are enough to touch the soul. By the way, "Chicago" starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger and Richard Gill is also a superb work.

Then I attached the full version lyrics of the most popular song "Don’t Cry For Me Argentina" in "Evita", and share with you the appreciation:

It won't b easy, u'll think it strange

When I try 2 explain how I feel

That I still need ur love after all I have done

U won't believe me

All u will see is a girl u once knew

Although she's dressed up 2 the nines, at sixes and sevens with u

I had 2 let it happen

I had 2 change

Couldn't stay all my life down at heel

Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

So I choose freedom, running around trying everything new

But nothing impressed me at all, I never expected it 2

Don't cry 4 me, Argentina

The truth is I never left u

All through my wild days, my mad existence

I kept my promise, don't keep ur distance



And as 4 fortune, and as 4 fame, I never invited them in

Though it seemed 2 the world they were all I desired

They r illusions. They r not solutions they promise 2 b

The answer was here all the time

I love u and hope u love me

Don't cry 4 me, Argentina

The truth is I never left u

All through my wild days, my mad existence

I kept my promise, don't keep ur distance

Have I said 2 much?

There's nothing I can think of 2 say 2 u

But all u have 2 do is look at me

2 know that every word is true
