I love how Abraham was able to cool off and admit he was wrong to Selena as well as realize he was too harsh on Chris. Edward James Olmos killed it in this movie.

[@91clarie]

Yeah, as long as Selena was alive. Then he continued to treat Chris like trash. To this day he's not accepted in the Quintanilla family.

[@DMalltheway]

That seemed like more an act now that his true colors are showing he dislikes Chris and never accepted him into the family.

[@hectorlopez1069]

He sure did, he was fantastic

[@amylee8969]

@futuremovieactor In real life, that didn’t age well. He still continued to treat Chris like crap. He only accepted Chris out of fear that Selena would quit the band, which would mean no more making money off her lol.

[@futuremovieactor]

@@amylee8969 Yeah. It's a shame to hear that Abraham never actually accepted Chris in real life. Just another thing to add to a very sad situation.

Her dad was freaking out cuz she was becoming extremely famous and starting to make lots of money...she went and got married without a prenup. Dad just looking out for her cuz she was so young. Chris Perez seems like a loving husband who truly loved her. Such a sad story

[@frijoleroman7973]

I can tell by people’s comments here on KZbin that they have hatred toward Abraham and comparing him to Joe Jackson, the father of the Jackson family, who was very strict, demanding and abusive towards his kids. And I understand that people are entitled to their own opinions. But Abraham has said in an interview a few years after Selena’s death that he did regret of getting his kids involved in the music business. Because he knew that there will be serious consequences such as sensationalism and the tabloids (both English and Spanish). But I can tell that Abraham Quintanilla did the best he could to be a great father to his kids and protecting them and being a loving husband to Marcela. He sets a great example of what it takes for a man to be a great father and provide love and guidance to his children. The world needs more people like Abraham Quintanilla. On the other hand, too many fathers are missing, too many fathers are M.I.A., too many fathers are A.W.O.L.

[@Fionabejeweled2001]

Frijolero Man79 Joe Jackson beat his kids

[@yoongisballs234]

Abraham was in no way perfect and i’m still super annoyed abt how he and the family are currently treating Chris, but he is in no way close to Joe Jackson.

[@DMalltheway]

Abraham and Richard (Will Smiths character) are a direct parallel and I’m sure Smith watched Selena and Edward James Olmos performance to show that toughness of take no BS.

[@vinaymulukutla358]

Chris has stayed close to Selena’s family since the tragedy. Looks like Suzette meant business when she said “You’re stuck with us” But I’m glad he did, there are no words for their loss.

The family has long cut him off, they never accepted him into the family.

[@theanxiousanddepressed6241]

My mom actually bought Chris's book about Selena, bro you can't go one page without him saying how much he loved her, also I noticed that Chris was far to kind to Abraham, on the bus he hardly defended himself even after Abraham called him cancer, when he spoke he spoke calmly and use little words to get the point across. I never knew how much Selena wanted to get away from her father, in terms of moving, two times in the book Selena came home crying because of him. But she did love them. A lot. It's a good book I recommend it.

[@Carelock]

The new podcast about Selena is fantastic!!!

[@abigailwatson1619]

Neat.. 😊 Superbly beautiful, as well as highly bittersweet, too. Plus, I think in this scene, Abraham reminded me of how Ariel’s father King Triton in the 1989 film *The Little Mermaid* must’ve felt when he realized Ariel did love Prince Eric and also noticed how right Sebastian was when he said that “children got to be free to lead their own lives” as well. With that, Abraham and Triton eventually accept their daughter’s significant others: Chris (Selena) and Eric (Ariel). Basically, Abraham and King Triton had something in common: they had to learn the hard way about letting their daughters go. (Plus, I could see Ariel and Selena singing the following lines from the song “Part of Your World (Reprise)” together: *“I don’t know when,* *I don’t know how,* *but I know something’s starting right now* *Watch and you’ll see* *Someday I’ll be* *Part of your... world...!”* And that would have been so neat, too.)

[@puterboy2]

Selena was a fan of that movie.

[@tammidixon8973]

This was a touching Beautiful moment ❤ Continue to RIP Selena ❤

[@algallego]

They should have included the bit just before this, the part where their wedding announcement is broadcast over the radio and Selena tells Chris to turn the car around, having changed her mind about going home to face her dad-- that was funny!

[@cajayson8301]

I haven't seen this movie but will watch in a few days. Looks great, is professionally told, Lopez looks like she's amazing (a rarity, considering her acting isn't usually solid) and of course Olmos is fantastic...very underrated actor. I can tell by this scene alone that he put his heart and soul into this role

[@stfjesusfreak]

IRL Abraham was stark raving mad when Selena and Chris arrived back at home. A huge wrestling match broke out and Selena was Tombstone by Abe; Chris was able to act hurt, and when Abe came over to pin him, he was able to maneuver and DDT Abe. Once down Chris was able to get in the car port and perform the People’s Elbow. Once Chris pinned Abe it was over; and Selena came to and they put Abe in a body bag. Once Abe came around and gather his wits, he gave Chris the belt; and welcomed him to the family. Legend has it that Chris is still the champ!

[@primate4]

I feel sorry for Chris. Not being accepted into a family has to be one of the worst feelings. I’m glad that the marriage worked out.

[@hectorlopez1069]

[@orlandobabe]

I wish it all went exactly like this, but unfortunately doesn’t seem that way nowadays. Plus there was more to what happened here than what the movie shows. But poor Chris was completely on his own and isolated by the band because of the tension built up by Abraham’s resentment toward the relationship between Selena and Chris. And when Abraham and him spoke Chris wanted to reject coming back to the band.
