A very affectionate and heart-warming biopic about a talented singer who was snatched from this world way too soon. From Selena’s childhood, to her discovered talent, to her trials and triumphs, and to her skyrocketing music career. This movie shows how much Selena accomplished during her life on Earth, and how many other lives she touched. With the help of this excellent biopic, the legacy of Selena Quintanilla-Perez will continue and never be forgotten. RIP Selena, you are loved by many!
Good biopic with great performances from Jennifer Lopez and Edward James Olmos. The direction, however, is the film’s shortcomings that was a bit shoddy at times, though seems like the concert recreations were alright. Also would’ve liked to see the development between Selena and Yolanda Saldívar (the woman who killed her) was a bit better, but otherwise a fine portrait of a talented singer just getting started. **3.75/5**
outstanding
oh my gosh. i watched this movie in Spanish class last week, and before this, i had never heard of selena. after watching the film, i have now downloaded about 26 songs of selena’s and bought the movie for myself.i absolutely loved this movie from beginning to end. jennifer lopez did an amazing job. i couldn’t tell which parts were the real selena and which ones were lopez.
all of the actors/actress in this film were wonderful. i fell in love with the family from the moment i saw them. they’re all so believable and i actually forgot i was watching a movie. i felt every bit of happiness and joy and pain that they experienced.
i fell in love with selena. if lopez portrayed her accurately (i wouldn’t know because i had no idea who she was before i watched the film) then she must have been one incredible person. its just so sad her life was cut so short.
at the very end of the film, when they threw the white rose on the stage i thought.. oh no! something’s gonna happen. the next thing you see is her on a stretcher and a radio announcer’s voice saying that she had been shot. that moment killed me. i started bawling right in the middle of class! i loved her from beging to end and to see her die that way at such a young age is heartbreaking. i was only 5 when she died, so i didn’t know about it, but her fans at that time must have been mortified. if jennifer portrayed her correctly, the real selena must have been..(besides and outstanding singer) a truly wonderful human being.
the tribute at the end is amazing. i loved the candlelit vigil for her at the end with the real pictures and clips of her. i love how the movie was focused of the celebration of her life and how much she accomplished in a short amount of time and not her tragic death. for that many people to be so affeccted by her death.. well that must mean that she was really truly and incredible human being, and she is missed by many and will never be forgotten.
