i finally saw “evita”
i figured since i’ve already been to buenos aires and gotten a photograph in front of eva peron’s grave, it would behoove me to see the madonna slash andrew lloyd webber monstrocity.
what everyone says is true. i don’t know why, but it’s not a very good movie. i think i blame alan parker’s directing - or maybe andrew lloyd webber. gasp! i mean, if you’re going to take a piece of history and dramatize it, he doesn’t do a very good job.
i was fascinated enough just looking at madonna, though. she’s impressive. i know everyone says she’s a bad actress but i don’t think she did a bad job. and the makeup & costuming was great. if you’re gay or a fruit fly, i think this is still a must see.
