Review of Selena

Selena (1997)
7/10
I Shed a Few Tears.
26 November 2002
Since this film was made based on a real-life incident in 1995, I was disappointed that the tragic ending was not dramatized which could have given this film a powerful and meaningful ending and probably an Academy Award nomination for Jennifer Lopez. Instead they chose a two-minute quickie on how Selena died, which you would have missed if you did not hear the mock reporters, since they did not film any scenes of how she actually died. The song "Dreaming Of You" is a beautiful song and it is a shame Selena never got to enjoy the rewards from recording this song nor ever know of her possible success. This song really became a hit after she was killed. Despite the confusing ending, I did shed a few tears.
