Jumpb4uthink Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I've often thought that this scene is the best acting and vocals from Madonna from the Evita movie. This is much more than a music video. Her emotions bring this scene to life. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K9xyWLjwKDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumpb4uthink Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Lament was sung live and in one take. So was You're Little Body Slowly Breaking Down. Still a crime she was not nominated for an Oscar as best actress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtzlplk Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Is a rescreening possible? Say 20th or 25th year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelHart Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Is a rescreening possible? Say 20th or 25th year? a limited screening perhaps for the fan...i doubt national...the original run didnt do that well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boy skeffington Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 You are wrong the original release was a big success...particularly for the genre which it resurrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpb4uthink Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 The film had a budget of 50M and worldwide it grossed a total of 142M. It is considered as a huge box office success according to box office mojo. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=main&id=evita.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelHart Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) You are wrong the original release was a big success...particularly for the genre which it resurrected. I remember it being made out to be a disappointment in the USA...not a flop but not a hit. Edited June 26, 2014 by RebelHart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick00 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I remember that a few years back in NY, people were able to watch Evita for a special sing along screening! I last saw this special Evita screening advertised a few years back, but I hope it returns again soon. It seems fun & I think the film should be seen in a large theatre with a large screen.

Nightshade Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I've often thought that this scene is the best acting and vocals from Madonna from the Evita movie. This is much more than a music video. Her emotions bring this scene to life. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K9xyWLjwKDA This was the pivotal scene of her whole acting career, IMO. She can act, I just don't know why she doesn't come through in many other roles. This scene was legit. It actually made me teary-eyed (and others in the theater) which is usually a tough sell for me.

horn Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I remember it being made out to be a disappointment in the USA...not a flop but not a hit. Well at least they didn't say she can't act back then... until TNBT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasqual Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 noone said she cant sing or act at that time...since she didnt showed up with ray of light with lenny and then she fucked up so badly....ah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 She has only acted well when she's practically representing herself: Susan and Evita. A real actress has to be everybody else, no matter who. So yes, she performs this incredibly well. And no, she can't act. I love Evita, by the way, i was lucky to watch in the cinema and was mesmerized. I recall people crying in this scene!

HolidayGuy Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 The scene preceding the DCFMA reprise was live, too, yes? For a while, I thought the reprise was, as well, but don't think so. She did very well wit hthe role- it did start to resemble a long music video at spots in the second half, but I guess it made sense for those particular numbers (i.e. "And the Money Kept Rolling In").

I agree that a very talented actress has to be able to play ANY role, but it's not like she actually had cancer and was dying in that scene. She had to imagine it and project those emotions as if they were real, and that - in my book - is good acting. And I think she pulled it off pretty well.

Skin Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Will always stand by the fact that she was fantastic in Evita whether you like the film or not. She didn't have to win the Oscar, but she should have without a doubt been nominated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal1974 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Its time she said yes to Sunset Boulevard. That film needs made and Andrew Lloyd Webber has indicated the part could be hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
