Evita


The movie Evita is about a young woman who grows up as a poor child and dies as a president's wife. The movie is set in the early to middle 1950's. The movie takes place in Argentina. Evita's family was poor for her entire childhood. As a teenager, Evita becomes involved with a popular man. She moves to Buenos Aires which is considered to be the Big City with the man. After arriving in Buenos Aires, Evita becomes a radio and film actress. This allowed her to gradually become more involved with various influential circles. As Evita gained popularity, she became involved with Juan Peron and eventually married him. Peron was elected President of Argentina which made Evita the First Lady of Argentina. Evita becomes an important part of Peron's policies. Evita eventually died of cancer at the age of 33 during the year 1952.

Evita gained a great deal of popularity as she became more involved with different people. Although she was able to accomplish this goal, I do not believe this was the correct and proper method of becoming an influential woman. She did not behave herself in an appropriate manner. I believe that her success was false because she basically cheated her way to the top by becoming involved with various men. However, I believe she was a kind woman because she made an extra effort to help the poor people in Argentina. Therefore, I have mixed feelings about Evita.
