Lo que más me interesa de la vida de Selena es que siempre es complicada. Ya sea su vida amorosa, su carrera musical o su familia. A su papá no le gusta su novio y constantemente discuten por él. Me parece irónico que la persona que la mató fuera alguien que trabajaba para ella. En lugar de alguien que sea fan, lo que tendría más sentido.

Things to think about:
The film Selena uses the themes of discrimination, music, and family to express the struggle Mexican-Americans go through to find and establish their sense of identity.  Through the musical career of Selena’s father, we see the difficulty of finding acceptance and establishing a place of belonging.  Following his family, we see the affects of past experiences on future generations.  Through Selena’s success, we see the crossing of borders and establishing of new identities.
This movie shows the difficulty immigrants and their following generations have  creating a sense of identity.  We also see the generational differences and how parents can affect their children’s perception of who they are and where they belong.  People felt drawn to Selena because of her great music, personality, and her embodiment of Mexican-American self.  She accepted and expressed both of her cultures; she showed confidence in both worlds and found acceptance within them.  Mexican-Americans feel a constant struggle to meet expectations, find acceptance, and gain a sense of belonging; however, Selena showed confidence and happiness with the in-between self, the middle ground that many did not want to be a part of or did not know how to define.  She expressed that having some of both worlds was the same as having all of both.

2.) ¿Cuál es el tema que más te cautiva o fascina sobre la vida de Selena?  ¿Por qué?

Creo que el hecho de que la asesinaran y la mujer que la asesinó actuó como si no hubiera hecho nada, fue horrible. Soy muy grande en misterios y asesinatos, así que esto definitivamente me fascina, puede que tenga que hacer más investigación y ver lo que realmente sucedió.
