Jennifer Lopez did a fabulous job in the movie, Selena. She portrayed Selena in a way that was honorable and respectful to her memory. Frankly, I can’t think of another actress who could have done better. I was already a fan of Jennifer, but after seeing her portrayal of Selena, my respect for her skyrocketed. Great movie that I hope to see again.

[@HoneyBee-zh9zw]

Watch the true story of the Mexican singer named Jenni Rivera, she lived for her children and nothing could keep her down, she lived one hell of a life with so much going on day after day, drama after drama you'd think her life could of been a soap opera, a tele novela is how you say that in spanish. Her life will touch you and leave you tearing through out the movie, it's actually a series but it's well worth the time to sit down and take in her life into yours. The name of the movie I'm sure it's still on Netflix is called Mariposa Del Barrio she died in an air plane crash and had gotten threats from Mexico not to sing in their country as many artists who have went against thier threats and many have died. Chalino Sanchez was killed also before Jenni he was a good friend of the Rivera family when Chalino was branching out into Mexico just as Jenni did after him . Officials say Jenni's plane was a suspicious crash because it didn't have a black box in it. All who were on board including the pilot died in that crash nose first. Jenni is missed so so much as much as Selena. This plane crash should have never happened. You will love her also just as much as Selena, you will see😊

Yeees, the best movie of JLO , and probably after this "The Cell" no more!

[@emakoo01]

Agree! JLo is a great actress in my opinion (Monster in Law is comedy gold!) but this role was just the greatest thing ever. She was also great in Hustlers I just didn’t love the film overall. A lot of her movies do not showcase her amazing talent. But this movie!?!?! She fucking NAILED it. I always knew she nailed it. But watching the new series just made me appreciate this performance even more than I already did

[@emakoo01]

@Montravius Daniel oh I would have to agree. Her performance in Hustlers was way better than - did not match - the film itself. She has so many great films tho I mean I personally love “Enough” 😂 and many others. But yep hands down Selena is the best

Fun Fact: When this movie first came out a lot of Selena fans were pissed that Jennifer Lopez, a Puerto Rican actress, was cast as the role for Selena instead of a Mexican actress but once they saw her performance in the movie they changed their mind and loved her portrayal.

[@BFFFL1492]

I thought it was widely known that the Mexican community wasn’t pleased with Jennifer’s portrayal. I’ll say I’m not much a fan of what she brings to the industry nowadays, but her depiction of Selena will a,ways rank high. There was literally no one better during that time and she took such care with the role.

"HE LED ME UP TO THE CASKET once the room was cleared and left me there. Once everybody else was gone, I felt, okay, the show was over. “It’s just you and me now,” I whispered to my wife. I stood there crying and looking at her for a minute. Then I gave Selena a kiss on the forehead and stroked her hand. She looked so comfortable and peaceful lying there in the coffin that I just wanted to get in there with her and lie down beside her, put my arm around her, close the top, and say, “Let’s go." ---Chris Perez; "To Selena, With Love".

her family felt pressured to take control and release a movie asap because within weeks after Selena's death, so many documentaries and movies were already being planned without their consent, and they wanted to be able to control the stories being made about Selena.

I remember the first time I heard Selena on the radio. I was in middle school. I remember my dad driving me to school every morning They would be playing dreaming. Then when my dad would pick me up from school on the ride home they would be playing dreaming. Something about the inflection in her voice just really made it feel like she was So relatable. Her voice was very heart-warming. It was refreshing because it was different than anything else on the radio at the time. And then by the time I got to high school I remember one of my first dates with a guy who was a junior It was a 1996 Ford probe. Lol he picked me up and we went to see Selena the movie premiere at the movies. I was wondered what she would have accomplished. I really feel that Jennifer Lopez caught the soul of Selena . It was almost like God knew that she was a special soul that I had to live on somehow in some way in her earthly likeness body on Earth. What an angel Selena was and is. You could tell that whatever she had was something super special and she was a passionate person and friend. She is the type of friend that everybody longs for.

Eh, she may have done a good job, but Selena will always have a better body!!!😊😊😊J/S, the fuschia outfit didn't fit her n look as great as it did on Selena!😉 I'm not a big fan of J-LO after I seen how conceited she can be n forgot where she came from now that she has fame n fortune. Yes J-LO does have some nice songs n a nice voice, but in my opinion, her personality STINKS!😉

[@Wesarizona21]

I 100% agree. I’ve seen so many vids and literally all of the dancing/gestures were done by Selena in a mixture of performances. Jlo copied the moves exactly how Selena did them. For example At 4:50 and 5:40 Selena does those moves in the El Paso 1994 of La Carcacha. It’s not seen in a lot of performances, but Jlo picked up some moves that weren’t done a lot for the movie.

[@jaii7550]

If Selena released her clothing line, the clothes that we wear today would be 90s clothing. So just imagine the impact that clothing line could have made on fashion today... Edit: okay woah , I haven’t came back to this in forever but lemme explain , when I said this I meant she would probably have had one of the biggest clothing lines in the u.s judging from the fact that she’s a house hold name today anyway. She would grow with the times BUT , it would still be her personal style and her personality going along with the clothing line. But all in all this is just my opinion and I understand everyone else’s point of view and opinion.

I love when families pick the perfect individual to play someone they love. Some choices just fit. This was perfect. Jennifer was dedicated to learning every part of Selena. Jennifer introduced many people to Selena that would have never knew who she was. Once you learn who Selena is though, you find out real quick the world lost one of the best young artist of all time. She would still be touring today. She would have had a 50 year career, plus some. God bless her family. We love you Selena.

Thanks for sharing. JLo did an excellent job portraying Selena in the film. It's important to recognize that she had to incorporate all of Selena's iconic mannerisms into these recreated moments while also adhering to legal constraints such as copyrights. Unfortunately, exact reenactments of performances, including the Grammy acceptance speech, were not possible due to these legal reasons. JLo's performance is guided by the script and direction of a Hollywood film production, where she embodies the character "Selena" within the context of the movie version of Selena's life.
