i come out of watch this film revolt to my stomach . we all know that héctor lavoe wasn not a saint and and his life be indeed a tragedy from when he become famous on . but the overwhelming feeling you get from all real life source of information and trivia that have describe his life in the past be that and contrary to the despotic and abusive brute portray in the film and héctor character be way more generous and more people friendly ( i will talk about this in a minute ) and pain and multidimensional than what be feed with through marc anthony interpretation . that role and marc play quite well and so let not diminish his and jennifer lopez act talent on what be a flawed script to begin with ( heavily bias in favor of puchy rosario viewpoint of thing ) . but this be not a movie about héctor life and this be and somehow and a caricature of a tony montana of sort turn salsa singer . this movie say personal vanity project all over it and and be more a vehicle for push j lo talent to people face ( more so than marc anthony and even . ) than a serious recreation of the man and his music . another big blunder be the portrayal of willie colón and which be inaccurate to the hilt . the gossip fodder have be put underneath a microscope while in the past and willie have be blunt and frank about his own life mistake and but be a far more serious and genius like and professional influence over these fact than be portray of him . his be a blur here . i do share the feeling that the movie come across a a big movie video . marc pipe be undeniably good and even if his on stage portrayal of héctor be a bit stiff . j lo sex appeal and talent ooze through and of course and but this movie isn not name la esposa del cantante for nothing . we have no notion of what drive héctor to new york to begin with and how big the willie colón year really be . be not even truly aware on how much héctor be manipulate by those who do manipulate him in real life . and and since most real life source have state that their contribution to the film be squelch to begin with and this come across a a flashy and lopsided and expensive mess of a biopic . too bad the non latino will only have this movie a a reference of héctor impact over latin american culture and salsa proper . a it have turn out and the hardcore fan who have see it hate the movie . and so do i and who happen not to be one . there an apocryphal story about lavoe actually meet marc anthony shortly before his death . at the time and marc look like a rocker and sort of a latino axl rise . héctor and who spar no one in the teasing department and say represent ¡qué nena fea . ( what an ugly girl . ) when they meet . marc and a big a chip on his shoulder a he have prove himself to have and probably never forgive him .
