Jennifer Lopez: Halftime

Jennifer Lopez, the name alone a million things come to mind, Songs, Movies, Pop Culture Moments. She has solidified herself into a Business that wasn't always welcoming to Latinas.

The format of "Halftime" is pretty standard-issue, but within that frame is the vitality and strident personality of an artist who has consistently, unapologetically done things her own way, Jennifer Lopez has broke boundaries in the Film, Music and Fashion industries, she is a staple of pop culture.

Something "Halftime" does so well is portray JLo's personality in a way we have seen her before on thing such as American Idol and World Of Dance but also connects with the viewers in a way i didnt think she could honestly. 75/100.

I'm a disabled Latina and I grew up with a very aggressive mother who had to fight for most of my rights. Because of this, I'm extremely turned off by these personality types. Despite my disability and my minority status as a Latina, I fully admit I have a problem taking up space, something Lopez has NO problem doing. Unfortunately for someone like me, it's extremely unflattering for me to watch a documentary of a personality type like this. While most people are praising her perseverance, I just heard whine after whine after whine of a very privileged person. You can't argue Lopez isn't a hard worker. She's one of my favorite actresses but her singing and dancing leave something to be desired. Maybe she should stop whining about the oscar nomination she didn't get (that she didn't deserve by the way. 'Hustlers' was terrible. ) and focus on becoming a better singer and dancer. Until then I can't feel pity for someone who has gotten by on how hot they are.

I've watched just about all of these Netflix Artist driven films released in the past couple years (Beyonce, Shawn Mendes, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga ect) i can honestly say between this film and Taylor Swifts "Miss American" both are equally as great. They give you a glimpse into the artists life that is raw and powerful every artist who gets one of these films is deserving but what Jennifer Lopez did here is inspiring, she's passed 50 (hence the Halftime metaphor) and shows even in the latter part of ones life, it can be just the tip of what you can accomplish.

Wise words from a successful Entertainment Legend. Jennifer Lopez arrives with "Halftime" the answer to all of the negativity and criticisms she's received over the years be it for her being constantly overexposed by Tabloid and Entertainment programs about her personal life, Social media over fabricated lies surrounding her singing career (All of which social media has blown up because lies travel faster then the truth i might add!) Halftime is a story of a woman who after 50+ years on this earth is here to offer some wise words show us what motivates her most (her fans, her family) and spread encouragement to anyone who is in self doubt and in 2022 with so much going on in the world, that's something i can get behind. Loved it!

Without giving too much away the documentary shows us Jennifer's life from a new perspective, HER perspective. I would've never guessed that she felt that way about all the butt comments in interviews. The documentary also shows the results of those sexist remarks, and how she coped with it. JLo has gone through a lot these past two decades, and the documentary shows everything in a new light. Does this documentary make me want to go listen to her music or watch her films? Yeah, Do I have more respect for Jennifer? Without a doubt!
