so we have established that i love movies. so a recent love is selena. there are several reasons why i like the movie so here goes:
1) the clothes that are the epitome of 1990's fashion and celebrate women's curves
2) the fade in shots...oh so many and so professionally done
3) the celebration of latin culture (even though the girl did not really speak spanish all that well) i think it was one of the first spanish language movies that i ever really liked
4) the "true love" story of an initially forbidden love
5) the celebration of honest to goodness hard work and the success that it brings especially when following one's dreams
6) oh my gosh the hair
7) the matte red lipstick and acrylic nails
8) it's j.lo doing what she does best....pretending to be a singer/musician and fashion designer (maybe that's why this is her best acting work)
so even though it ends in a terrible tragedy it celebrates the life of a young successful hispanic woman and the many trials that she faces. i'm a sucker for success stories. so there.
