      "Evita"--Evita's Development Path

      After a one-night stand with Evita (Madonna), a singer who was popular in Argentina at the time, she used this as a springboard to embark on her journey to Buenos Aires. This beautiful girl is Madame Bellon, who will become famous in the future. However, 15-year-old Evita has nothing. She was abandoned in a strange city, and the only thing she has is her beauty. Evita squeezed into the upper circle and...

      Mrs. Bellon's afterthought: - people will die fortunately

      Unexpectedly, Mrs. Veron's film is so rigorous, profound and magnificent.

      This movie has been sleeping in my drawer for at least three or five years, and I have never been interested in watching it, thinking it is a shallow work that praises Mrs. Veron. I took it out today and took a look at it from beginning to end, only to realize that it is a short biopic, and that the form of the opera is very well combined with the large-scale crowd scenes.

      The biggest sigh of watching...

      Today, my heart is touched by you

      Many times before, when I listened to don't cry for me, Argentina, my heart was always full of sadness, and my eyes were full of tears. What moved me was the melody, but I never knew the moving deeds hidden behind the song until I saw it. In the movie evita, I learned that the protagonist of the story is about the legendary life of Mrs. Veron, which made me feel more melancholy, sighed, admired and saddened. . .

      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...

      Madame Bellon - a rare biography

      The film tells the life of Evita, the legendary lady who was born poor but full of vision for the future, for which she had to pay a lot at that time.

But with her outstanding beauty, she quickly became famous under the lens of a photographer. Since then, she has been among the rich and officials. It was not until she met Colonel...

      3 stars for the feature film, plus 1 star for Madonna's beauty and song. Changing the story of a political figure into a musical will only feel fake and boring for people who don't know her, and I think it's better to see the big from the small. Thinking of Wendi Deng, she is not so pretty, and she may look good when...

      There is a musical foundation, so the music is higher than the movie itself. There may also be a factor in choosing Madonna. I feel that the character of Evita is still too flat, the movie is flowing, and her ups and downs are not very touched. main...

    "Evita" attracts the audience the most is the ups and downs of the storyline and beautiful and moving melody.

This method not only played the role of...
