Seriously? The Dictator, close to home?
Ok…mhm…to each his own I guess.
You must have had such a traumatic past…
Something must have made you like this….

[Daphne – Yes, darling, your beloved Labour Party made me like this. You should have tried living a normal life under their regime. Yes, it was just like in The Dictator, and no, not the parts set in Manhattan, believe me. The only thing our dictators didn’t do was shoot those who displeased them. But they had other means.]

A new version of the musical is set to perform again on Broadway. The promotional tour describes Eva Peron as a person who managed to create an iconic figure through mainipulation of the media. The new actress who got the role of Eva Peron has recently said, that as an Argentine she can understand the hysteria during the funeral and that all she remembers is her father crying during the funeral while he was watching it on TV.

Does anyone remember this song that was aired over and over again on the National TV station after the 81 election??

Listen carefully to the refrain. Still upsets me.

Mintoffjani are doing their hardest to mellow Mintoff’s image, in the hope that history would be kind to him.

But true historians who will eventually write about him, are not going to be swayed with these fake and empty glorifications. What was done is there for everyone to see and cannot be changed.

In reply to maryanne.

It depends on where this Martian would land though. Yesterday I was asked by an Italian family living in Sliema about Mintoff. The wife said, “Who is this man? He doesn’t seem to be very popular.”

It gets hilarious, I’ve heard all sorts of abuse thrown at dead Mintoff in Sliema shops.

In reply to Josette Jones.

Never too soon. The Maltese résistance has already come up with its own joke:

“Fl-ahhar rajt ‘The Dictator’.

“Il-biopic ta’ Mintoff?”

[Daphne – Oh, I meant to write about that after I watched The Dictator in London a couple of months ago. I was the only one in the cinema NOT laughing, and this after I nearly choked with hysterical laughter during Bruno. I couldn’t laugh because it was so close to home that it wasn’t even funny.]

Is it to soon to enjoy Monty Python’s ‘Dead Perit’ sketch?
