    The end is powerful and classic ALW. They're calling him out, highlighting the difference between the power he thinks he shares with them and them pointing out (behind his back) that her fall is his, not theirs. Wonderful, ominous chorus. Gives me chills.
    I'd of course be remiss if I didn't applaud Pryce's perfectly executed acting, singing, timing, and mannerisms here. Highly admirable.

    This song has a beautiful contrapuntal accompaniment that is tricky to sing against. But Pryce hits every word right on cue. The visualization is perfect.

    Who knew Jonathan Pryce Could sing! I only knew him as Governor Swann in Pirates of the Caribbean. He's very good. I really loved this scene and this song. Andrew Lloyd Webber creates some beautiful music. I love it.

    I am a very lyrical person, I write verses in english, and this song was my insparation 20 years ago to study english and be inspired! I love the sad piano, the lyricks, his emotions over it, the power in words, it is a heaven made harmony!

      yes. in some part of the movies, the actor must sing live ( during the shoot) not using the studio version. this one is different from the album. the same as Lament which Madonna sing.

      ''Speech singing'' or not Pryce is very pleasant on the ear. It was a great acting performance from him, he looks commanding, he looks like Peron. So many subtle gestures and mannerisms in his acting beyond the singing and narrative.

    Pryce plays Peron with such beautiful humanity. I always thought he actually fell in love with her. In the musical, at least. It's such an interesting counterpoint between his feelings for Evita, and his brutal arrogance against the common people.

    Is it really so that no-one nowadays knows how to think objectively with feelings?! So all the most important matters get washed away, get no reaction at all. I watched a Hitler speech (with English subtitles) in UA-cam: what a difference! Just a few short decades ago everyone was able to think with the help of feelings. Feelings are a mark of an important question (+ or -), so the ability to think with feelings is a thing that matters really lot to the fate of the world!

    Michael Jackson owns the publishing rights to the Beatles' catalog, so he would be the most likely plaintiff in any lawsuit. The fact that he hasn't brought suit should indicate that his experts have told him there isn't a case.

    I could hear a bit from the Phantom of the Opera, the opening tune seemed to be the same in both songs.
    I listened close to the 'here there everywhere' and I just can't put my finger on it. He may have similar notes, but I will not say he stole it from that song... it's not nearly close enough.
    Don't forget Webber is one of the all time great song / musical writers. His talents were showing when he was just a child, so I can't label him as a theif.
    I do see your point to an extent.

    It's such a simplification to suggest that Peron was a mere fascist. His philosophy, Justicialismo, was far more complicated than that. Many of his programs were very Marxist in approach.

      @thomasmurdochduncan 4 роки тому +4

      @@ezefinkielman4672 It's a fallacy to equate Peronism to Fascism, although there are similarities to be sure... it originates in the idiosincratic political expression of "caudillismo" which is native to South America since the independence wars of the 19th century. It is basically a national bourgeois emancipatory political project that aims to develop a national industry and break from the traditional oligarchic landowning establishment, and the colonial condition that many nascent nations in America still face to this day. It is most definitely not "marxist" in the traditional sense, self-avowedly so, but many local marxists movements considered the "national liberation" project as a necessary first step in the transition towards socialism and eventually joined forces with peronism. It fits squarely in the "social democratic" political tradition, albeit with authoritarian undertones.

      @@thomasmurdochduncan There was another big difference in Peron's government, he supported the Argentine Jewish community and also recognized Israel as a nation and opened diplomatic channels with Israel! One of Peron's highest cabinet officials was Jewish and Peron respected his advice! Don't get me wrong Peron was very much authoritarian with his political opponents and the press, but Peronism really is a mix of capitalism and socialism mixed together! Eva herself was seriously socialist and that's why the rich hated her so much! Eva Peron's through her foundation brought Health Care and Education to the poor, she hated the very idea of poverty and spent almost all her political capital fighting for the poor of Argentina! If you read her biography you actually find out Eva was a workaholic and she would put in really long days at the foundation! She had an open door policy at her office so that people could come see her and tell her what they needed! Eva had faults, but the one thing no one can fault her for is her dedication to helping the poor of Argentina!
