CommentsXp Best movie ever!

barberic-695-574135 The positives, Madonna at her best and the story line was fine. The two well known songs were worth listening too then everything goes down hill from there. We thought the direction and production was poor at best and the rest of the score in this musical was dreadful almost painful, really disappointed. Will we be watching it again?, not a chance, the DVD is destined for the bin.

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

grantss A musical based on the true story of Eva "Evita" Duarte de Peron, the actress who married Juan Peron and became the first lady of Argentina.Considering I generally dislike musicals on sight, the fact that I liked this says a lot. Plot is fairly linear and conventional, but the music is great, plus Alan Parker's direction gives the movie a certain vibrance without being too mainstream. The cinematography, especially, and costumes round off the movie.Performances are spot-on. Madonna, as a singer who can act (to a degree), was an obvious choice for the lead role and puts in a great performance. Jonathan Pryce and Antonio Banderas give good support.

Scott-101 Evita tells the story of the reign of Evita Peron. It is filled with some of the most memorable songs of the era and the film is told in operatic form. Each song is rich with context towards the story which is not really about two people but rather two archetypes of power (Peron) and the populace (Banderas' role that was originally Che Guevera in the stage musical) in a story that tells a political story that's very unique in that few narratives on film have as much political depth as this movie does. On top of that, when you consider that it's all done in musical form, that's pretty darn impressive. I have always had a strong interest in Latin American politics that certainly helps me appreciate the film's intersection with some of the more universal themes of Latin American politics including the folk like mythology of political leaders, the appeals to populism, and the tabloid-like glamor of the Peron dynasty. If you're not knowledgeable about the Peron reign in Argentina, there's a lot to appreciate about how Madonna's choice to play Evita Peron is a sly commentary on her own rise to fame.
