tbills2 I love Evita and I really love Eva Peron but I worship Madonna.Madonna's a way better actress than Meryl Streep, truly speaking, and I hate making Meryl a martyr (Meryl a martyr Meryl a martyr...) BUT, Madonna, IS, THE, MOST, beautiful and brilliant actress for all ages of time, dead, seriously saying, she sings beautifully like a pure-hearted angel sounding blissfully, oh my God, I'm so heartfelt and I'm so sincere when I say this, sweet holy God, I love Madonna she's so gorgeous she's the hottest woman of all-time, she's also the most beautiful woman of all-time, I love Madonna, real talk, and Madonna's a way better actress than Meryl Streep, easily, really, and there aren't many beautiful woman who can act better than Madonna, for real!Madonna's beautiful, and I love her so much more after watching this now, honestly speaking, like Evita.GOD, I love Evita, a 10 out of 10! Evita's nearly great but you must watch it closely, or you can enjoy it casually as well. Most the music is excellent. Madonna's so beautiful I love her so much God she's gorgeous and Antonio B.'s the greatest he sings so nice and J. Pryce's really nice too!God, I LoVe MADONNA. Just look at her eyes."don't cry for me argentiinaa! the truth is i neever left you. all through my wild days my mad existence i kept my promiise don't keep your distaance"

Vonia Evita (1996) Director: Alan Parker Watched: 6/20/18 Rating: 7/10 {Clue: "Don't Cry for Me ____"} At more than two hours definitely needs some extra work in the cutting room, Ranges too much in mood and tone- from tragic to comedic to romantic to melodramatic, Gorgeous costumes and set design accompanied by naggingly catchy but lovable songs, Enthusiastically sung "everyman" Greek chorus by a comical-cynical-combative Antonio Banderas, Narrative style ingeniously allows for dual political views in a fun and melodious manner (though unfairly slanted towards the anti-Peronist), Takes Evita's negative personality traits and disproportionately magnifies them- we see an icon rather than the woman, Impersonal performance by a convincing looking Madonna- but was that not Eva María Duarte de Perón in real life: powerfully inaccessible? Not historically accurate in its details- but further research reveals only more mystery and myth, And now most of the world has learned about a woman it would not have otherwise! ---- Acrostic is a form of poetry where the first letters in each line, paragraph, or word are doubly used to spell a name, phrase, or word. The word "acrostic" comes from the Greek words "akros" (outermost) and "stichos" (line of verse). Read the appropriate letters in the poem vertically to reveal the extra message, called the "acrostich"! #Acrostic #PoemReview #Controversy #GoldenGlobesBestPicture #Musical #StageToScreen

cia-96187 I am a person who hates musicales and I was about to leave the movie in the middle of it. That said and my personal bias out of the way, if I critique this movie I have to be fair. As a Musical and for people who like musicals this is a great film, keep in mind that most of the film is Madonna singing and that there is very little dialog, the only place that there was any dialog in the film we all had to clap in the movie theater just because they spoke and not sing. OK OK time for the truth, the movie is well filmed, it has a coherent historical story, and as for Madonna I think it is one of her best acting movies I have ever seen, she should have at least been nominated for her acting in addition to giving the film an Oscar for the music. The songs especially "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" I think we would all agree it is a classic hit, I loved it. A lot of people did object to Madonna representing Evita Peron, in my opinion whether you like Madonna's life style or not you cannot pull it into the movie it is her life. As for the movie she did act very well and sang even better. Looking back at the movie this movie is definitely thumbs up for anyone that likes musicals, and such style of movies. This is not an action movie it is a musical and one of the best musicals, so please love it as a musical and not as any thing else.

yastepanov I had seen many stage productions of Evita before this film version came out and was delighted by Madonna's performance, because she captured Eva Peron so well.However the changes from the stage to the screen were horrific. I have heard many of these were to gain the approval of the Argentine government for location filming. If so, they should have shot it elsewhere.Gone was the "Che" character (which was merely a chorus anyway as Guevara has no real connection to the Perons) but the replacement by Antonio Bandaras made no sense as he had to be coached. His voice was "okay" but fell in comparison to Madonna.Lyrics were changed, "softened" to make Eva less of a self-serving type, more approachable. Peron was not cast so much as a fascist (which he was) and Eva was less power-mad.It probably mirrors better the way Argentina would LIKE Evita to have been, but not what she was.
