The film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical depicting the infamous real-life story of Eva "Evita" Duarte de Peron, the wife of President Juan Peron, who rose from poverty to become the most famous Argentine woman in history. Her huge political influence and constant charity works earned her scorn and fear from the military and upper classes but adoration and love from the workers and descamisados. Evita's legendary life is displayed before your eyes as the most hated and most beloved woman in Argentina. Powerful!
Powerful story, told beautifully with engaging, foot-tapping and affecting music. Madonna is just excellent, so perfect in her role as Eva Peron! I was never much of a Madonna fan but her portrayal of Evita blew me away. Jonathan Pryce was also excellent, as was Antonio Banderas as Che, the story's narrator. Sure, there is a good deal of poetic license, but you know a musical about the Perons is sure to be history lite. It will get you thinking about their times, their "reign" and will probably send you to the internet to search for more info, and isn't that a good thing! I give this movie a definite 5 stars and thumbs up!!

This version of Evita, as a big screen movie, is the most involved adaptation and the delivery by the actors is memorable and moving. The scenes envelop the viewer and emotional buy-is immediate. So much to feel and experience.
