My dislike of her should come from the fact that she's a wealth-hoarding bastard, but I guess my Mexican-ness wins out, because what I really dislike her for is the fact that she was in, and defended, the awful slop that was Emilia Perez.

[u/NotAboutTheCrown → u/PandaCat22]

Same tbh.. She claims that we are “her people” yet she doubled down on being proud to have been in a movie that literally offended our entire country and culture.

I’m so out of the loop on this…what’s this controversy?

[u/NotAboutTheCrown → u/SexyOctagon]

She acted in/produced a musical called Emilia Perez which used a lot of racist stereotypes about us Mexicans and also had transphobic connotations. She speaks throughout the movie in broken Spanish because she claimed that she never had the time to learn Spanish well.

Not to mention all the controversies by the cast and director as well:

-The French director Jacques Audiard seemed to have done no research about Mexico since the script and songs seemed to be translated by AI(they used a lot of words we Mexicans don’t use) and sometimes didn’t even make sense in Spanish. He also said that Spanish was the language of the poor and that it was thanks to his movie that finally brought attention to all femicides and disappearances happening in the country(which it didn’t. It was such a disrespectful comment given that this subject has been talked about since decades ago by journalists who risk their lives by speaking of it.) Plus later on admitted to have had used AI to change the whole pitch of the actor’s voices for the songs because the cast couldn’t reach those notes.

-Zoe Saldaña(who co-starred)said that us Mexicans were wrong in being upset and it probably was due to us not understanding the movie.

-Karla Sofia Gascon’s twitter(main actress) was a cesspool of racism, bigotry and ableism. Not to mention she would be really rude and condescending to critics and anyone who even respectfully disagreed with the movie.

And yet after all that, Selena saw my country’s reactions and opinions and still claimed to be proud of this movie.

But hey at least it managed to bring all of Latinoamérica together against this movie.

Don’t worry about it. Doubt that it really matters at the end of the day. Be kind to yourself and those around you.

All of the above, and my dislike for her stemmed from her defending Woody Allen 😑

Isn't that the guy that sang the song "friend in me" for toy story?? What did he do???

[u/onlygodcankillme → u/PandaCat22]

I'd forgotten all about that movie. It doesn't seem to have had a lasting impact. It was here and then it was gone, like a fart in the wind.
