Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Evita (690 words)
	Evita is based on the life of Eva Duarte de Peron, an Argentine woman whose mother was a poor woman and whose father was a middle-class gentleman with another (legitimate) family.
	Evita's ability to effect long term economic change for the lower classes from which she came may have been an illusion, but her roots were a political advantage to both her and her husband.
	The focus is on Evita, and you are left to decide if she truly wanted to help the poor, or if she was playing them for fools.

WashingtonPost.com: 'Evita': It'll Make Hearts Sink (1022 words)
	To say that "Evita," the movie, is a stunning film is not to say that it is actually good.
	And now that the world knows Madonna was in the first months of pregnancy while this movie was being made, it is impossible not to notice how frequently she holds her arm -- sometimes hung with a strategically placed purse -- across her tummy or is photographed from behind.
	Evita is portrayed as a woman traumatized by her illegitimate status, who sleeps her way up the financial and social ladder until she lands Peron.
