Evita (1996)
Starring: Madonna, Antonio Banderas and Jonathan Pryce
Director: Alan Parker
The young and ambitious Eva Duarte (Madonna) dreams of becoming a movie star, but her career is interrupted when she meets and becomes the wife of general Juan Domingo Peron (Jonathan Pryce). Better known as Evita Perón, she was one of the most influential women of her time and one of Argentina's most controversial personalities, loved by some and hated by others.
In this video, after Evita's death, the people express their sadness in a very Argentinean way to express emotion and feeling: by dancing tango. It is a beautiful scene, charged with intensity, definitely one of the best scenes of the movie.
“The immortality of great personages begins when they become a metaphor with
which people can identify. Evita is already several metaphors: she is the Robin
Hood of the 20th century, she is the Cinderella of the tango and the Sleeping
Beauty of Latin America."
Tomás Eloy Martínez, 1996
