Ai Papi Si. Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 How does being Libra have anything to do with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pud Whacker Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 No doubt. At all. Would ROL had been such an event without the Evita love? No, not IMO. Madonna gained oodles of respect from all corners from Evita. So people were more accepting of her talent when she (thankfully) did ROL. evita was VERY important in the history of madonna. it had to happen. that i will never deny.

Guest bluejean Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I love this movie. I was so proud of her that she had a hit movie and proved the critics wrong. Her voice sounds great. This was her dream role and I'm sure for her it's one of the highlights of her career. I wouldn't say as a fan it's one of my highlights, but I did enjoy it and I love the soundtrack.

elijah Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 that is your opinion and i respect it even though the movie is pile of crap and if she was worthy of an oscar nomination she would have received one. she didnt and it wasnt. And that is yours. I think everyone in the forum is well aware of it till now, but why do libras have always have to go to a crusade to IMPOSE their oppinion (even when its not mainstreet one). My brother would ve said that the world doesnt get it and his view is right though avangard. and yes, i am a libra - which makes me automatically right. well its not like I didnt see this comming.

afrolito Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 DSS is AWESOME, and it definitely put her on the map, but some people seem to be overestimating it's importance to the film canon......and it was also a brilliant career move on her part. She certainly wasn't resting on her laurels, after her brilliant turn in A certain sacrifice. Whether some of you love Evita or not is besides the point. The facts are that, for a brief moment, it gave her the one thing that has always alluded her....respectability. For the most part it was critically acclaimed, and the only time in her career when she was even mentioned in the same breath as Oscar. I love DSS, but the only people going on constantly about it's greatness, are Madonna loons. Sorry, but it's not the iconic equivalent of The Blue Angel. Evita is flawed for sure, but it was a wonderful showcase for Madonna. She clearly was passionate about the role, and pursued it for years. Every time she spoke about it, you could see how close she was to it, and she certainly conveyed that in her performance. That is what came across to the many non fans, who embraced the film. Madonna herself has said that it's the role that she's most proud of. This does not take anything away from DSS in any way. i believe both films are definitive in her career, and important in the understanding of her as a cultural icon.

MadFan Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Not a shot at DSS being a more popular film than Evita. Did someone argue that? I'll have to look through these pages. People know Evita. Partially because it was a box office success, and partially because it has one of the more well-known musicals of the past 30 years. Partially because Madonna's name was above the title. The broadway show toured last year, even. DSS is a St. Elmo's Fire. No Breakfast Club indeed.
