Evita's Che

I have loved the musical "Evita" since I saw the Madonna/Antonio Banderas version of it. I was always curious about who Antonio's character was supposed to be, so I did a little research. I discovered that his character, Che, is based on Che Guevara. Guevara was a student in Buenos Aires during Peron's presidency and he formed many of his political views during this time period. This is why Che is so antagonistic toward Eva Peron throughout "Evita."
