The unique combination of Andrew Lloyd Webber's melodies, Tim Rice's lyrics and appearances by Madonna and Antonio Banderas proves spectacular. I can only describe the wardrobe, make-up and various settings from Argentina to Eastern Europe as captivating. However such a spectacle as this film very rarely tends to go hand in hand with reality. After studying various biographies and opinions on the life of Evita, the film appears to soften the truth and enhance characters creating an unrealistic and perhaps unfair historical portrayal. I would, however, recommend this film - Evita - to anyone who is looking for entertainment and is a fan of the work of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice and other musicals such as "The Sound of Music" and "Fame". But do not view this film as art reflecting reality - if you want to find out and educate yourself in Argentina's history or perhaps only in the history of Evita herself then read a book. Alternatively there is an argentine film with subtitles which tells the same story in a more realistic manner.
