Flashback: Madonna's 'Evita' Death Threats Prompt Fan Protests in Argentina
- Thread starter Golden Spider Tak
- Start date
but at least authorities took measures to prevent harassment 
meanwhile, Madonna's commitment to the message behind "Evita" is still giving me life omg 
this is wild... like 30 yrs ago already but the drama still hits hard 
can't even imagine having death threats like that 
especially with someone trying to ban her film from argentina 
it's crazy how strong peronism is in argentina still today 
and honestly i think it's pretty admirable that madonna just focused on the message of evita instead of getting all caught up in drama 
but at the same time can't help but wonder if authorities were taken seriously enough about those threats

. I mean, 62% of Argentines thought Madonna was right for the role, but still, you gotta wonder if the authorities were taken aback by those death threats... like, shouldn't they be more worried about someone's safety?
It's also interesting how it raises questions about free speech and artistic expression. I get that Perónism is still strong in Argentina, but isn't there a way to express national pride without attacking the person portraying Eva Perón?
Madonna took a pretty bold move by focusing on the message of "Evita" rather than engaging with the threats. And honestly, her performance won all those awards for a reason
. Maybe we should take a cue from her and try to separate fact from fiction when it comes to historical figures... or at least be more open-minded about different perspectives
