Another fun fact. The original The Kiss of The Spider Woman, actually is the first brazilian movie to been nominated ao the Academy Awards in Best Picture.
@@marcusviniciusfavorito6824The 1985 version wasn't the first Brazilian film to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. I'm Still Here is. Even though it had Brazilian co-production and Brazilian actors, most of the production was American. So, it was released as an American film.
@@andriottijuniorbro I’m Still Here is also an co production with another country (French). The only difference here is that Kiss of The Spider-Woman wasn’t officially representing Brazil. This is the only major difference you can point out.
I believe that if Jennifer Lopez focused strictly on acting instead of venturing into music, she'd have a more credible filmography by now: lest we forget before her debut album she had a celebrated breakout in Selena, had done films by Francis Ford Coppola, Oliver Stone and Steven Soderbergh, starred opposite Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn, George Clooney and Robin Williams and adapted nicely to different genres like action, comedy, drama, horror, adventure and neo-noir. (Even Anaconda has become a semi cult classic.) After starting her music career, she has basically had Hustlers, the occasional rom-com hit (Wedding Planner, Maid In Manhattan, Monster In Law) and very little else.
This is why I am massively suspicious of Ariana Grande winning the Oscar this year, mainly due to the popstar perception. Barbra Streisand is really the only person to break the mold and win an Oscar for acting on her first try (Jennifer Hudson was more perceived as a triple threat and an American Idol contestant at the time of her win).
I’ve always said that Jennifer was a great actress. I’ve always understood the flack surrounding her music career but I never understood it when it came to her acting. She gave one of the best performances ever in “Selena” THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HER FIRST OSCAR NOMINATION!
Jennifer Lopez is a GREAT actress! Selena, Out of Sight, El Cantante, Hustlers... even her latest film Unstoppable where she's playing a struggling single mom. Like the fact that this international pop star has the capability to disappear into a character like Judy is impressive. I will always root for her. She's put the work in.
@ikexbankai It's not just EP, half of the "best picture" nominees shouldn't be there. The Oscars have been losing relevancy for years. This year is just the icing on the bland cake.

We need to remember that the first Spider Woman was Sonia Braga in Hector Babenco's movie and Chita Rivera took the part in West End and Broadway adaptation. Then, we had Vanessa Williams and Bebe Neuwirth as Spider Woman also in theatre (Broadway and West End).
I saw the Vanessa Williams version on Broadway, it happened to be her Broadway debut taking over for the legendary Chita Rivera. I always wished Vanessa had been the one who would bring the musical version to the big screen. 🎭✨️🎬
So jazzed to see this, especially the glowing praise for J.Lo & Tonatiuh. I want this to be her moment, she's amazing in Selena, Hustlers, and Out Of Sight. She deserves her moment. And there was your quote at the 11 minute mark that hit me deeply: "In times of distress, great fear, & adversity, how important stories & cinema can get you through these horrific times. And even if there's not a clear light at the end of the tunnel, art can make things better". That was incredibly poignant. This is why your reviews and videos are important, and why it makes sense you were a writer. That was deep and philosophical. We need art and escapism more than ever, especially in these horrific times. Thank you for this review, Brian!
Cool the jets with Jennifer being Oscar worthy.. We have almost a year of films ahead, and her performance will probably become forgotten.. The hype for Hustlers was so intense, it killed the momentum.. Chill gang..
@ That’s just another excuse for people to hate on her. Her connection with Diddy was more than 22 years ago and there’s no proof of her knowledge and awareness of events like there is for other artists. We can be friends or near someone with secrets and don’t know about it. 🤷♀️
JLo was honestly really good in Out of Sight from 98 with George Clooney. The 99 Best Actress race wasn’t that competitive and Meryl or Emily both could’ve been swapped with JLo for Best Actress that year.
I just remember that Out of Sight was truly a breakthrough role for George-prior to that, his movie roles had been disappointing. But in this, he was total grace.
It’s called EXPRESSING AN OPINION, and it has squat to do with you. You want to be a member of the JLo Superfan club, go ahead. I believe we still have freedom of speech on discussion boards.
What behavior? I don’t like the woman’s public face, and I said so. It’s an opinion, you don’t have to like it, just leave it alone. Have I attacked your opinion in any way? I’m sorry, but it does bother me when people are so intolerant of disagreement.
Delusional 😂😂😂!! Love her rom-coms but please be serious, she is a mediocre actress at best. She does have some better films but she will never win an Oscar lol.
Fun Fact: A Puerto Rican actor has been involved in all three iterations of KOTSW: - Raul Julia played Valentin in the 1985 film - Chita Rivera originated the role of Aurora/The Spider Woman in the 1993 Broadway musical - Jennifer Lopez plays Aurora/The Spider Woman in the 2025 film 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Jennifer Lopez can be great it’s just that she usually picks lame projects. I remember first watching her in “Mi Familia” and that river crossing scene always made me so sad. It would be cool to see her do another horror type of film like The Cell. Something we don’t expect from her.
She doesn't choose, it's all she's given because there are no good parts for latin actresses. She said she dreamt of a role like this and auditioned many times but she never got the parts
Jennifer is under rated. Compare her performance in unstoppable compared to the other supporting actresses nominated. She out shone ariana and selena easily. She never gets her dues.
If jlo gets nominated for this, it will be the 4th time a character originally played by Chita Rivera on the stage got nominated for an Oscar She played Velma Kelly in Chicago and Anita in west side story
I was sad that you did not mention who the composer and lyricist are. Kander and Ebb! They have won a multitude of Tony Awards as well as composed the score for the oscar-winning movie Cabaret
I’m so happy to hear this 🎉 although I do feel like JLo does deserve lead actress. After all she is the anchor of the film. The storyline centers around her character. So why not?!?! But in any case I’d be happy whatever category she gets 🏆
I was so nervous when I heard JLo was in this film, a musical. I was afraid she'd get shredded by a pocketful of people who are determined to judge her with these accusations that she's not a good actress or good singer. Imagine my absolute delight and relief when the reviews started coming out of Sundance, and they're all so rapturous and positive. Then I saw Brian's review on Twitter and I just allowed myself to be truly happy for her. I hope everything needed to make it happen works well to get her in that Oscar's race next year. She truly deserves all her flowers.
Did you see the Broadway musical? It’s a beautiful amazing show. It’s my understanding pretty much half the score has been cut. They only kept the “fantasy” sequences. That’s a disappointment to people who love the musical, but will have to wait and see.
Is this relevant just because she was with him 22 years ago? There is NO proof of her knowing or participating like it is for other artist . I guess if we talk about other artist and ask for their cancellation it would be considered racism.
I can't wait! to see her in this. I LOVE the stage production and Chita Rivera's performances and J-Lo seems to be a really perfect fit, now that I really think on it. Fingers crossed.
Jennifer's best performance for me is "out of sight" . she is so subtle, so effective, so cocksure in it. Believable as a detective. Yet the movie is underated.
JLo is a great actress. She just picks really bad scripts. She was a critically acclaimed actress in the early 90s, during the Selena, Out of Sight, and U Turn era. She did a great film in Hustlers a couple of years ago and then followed it up with two cheesy cheap romcoms. I honestly think she needs new management. Glad to hear this is one is good. Will def look out for it.
I really hope this is a great year for JLo after the bad things that people had unfairly said about her in 2024 She really is a very good actress that hasn't always been in the best movies
It is so nice to listen to Brian 's reasoning. If i didn't love movies before, I would, now. Thank you Brian. BTW, I also love the Fifth Estate and Mr Holmes directed by Bill Condon.
Lopez is an amazing actress and with the right material she can trully shine! It's such a shame she wasn't cast in more musicals all these years! It's a CRIME she still hasn't had a nomination! I mean she's had Selena, Out of Sight, El Cantante, Hustlers, Unstoppable... COME ON! This MUST be her time! Tbh i think Hollywood never forgave her for wanting it all and getting it all... being a recording artist and a pop star felt like a cardinal sin for the rest of them! And this goes for the music industry too imho. She is the Only TRIPLE THREAT and people in the biz never wanted to give her her flowers! IT'S DUE TIME!!!!
U know there was a Broadway Musical called 'Kiss of the SpiderWoman' that came out in 1993 and Chita Rivera (who won the TONY that year playing the J-Lo role. In fact I think it won BEST MUSICAL that year... and best actor, score, book, it was a huge success and Swept the TONY's that year)
Depending what studio picks up the film and how the campaign it is possible for Jennifer to be placed in lead and not supporting. Chita Rivera, who originated the role on Broadway, won the Tony in the lead actress category. Also, a few supporting roles won in lead at the Oscars (I think you did a video on that if I'm not mistaken) such as Olivia Colman in The Favourite. That being said I think it would be smart to campaign for her in supporting.
Lily Gladstone didn't "play it smart", gambled and got a Best Lead Actress nomination for Killers Of The Flower Moon. Same with Anthony Hopkins for Silence Of The Lambs.
@@chazarcola7639 but Lily didn't win, Anthony did. I say play smart because from a strategic perspective it's smarter if they campaigned Jennifer for supporting because I think she would have a better chance at getting a nomination and possibly win. I'm not saying it's not possible for her to campaign in lead, as you said Anthony did it and won and so did Olivia Colman in The Favourite.
I remember really liking the soundtrack of the first K of the SW. The movie was good, too. I will definitely try to see this one if it is shown in Tokyo.
I don't know if this is true we will have to watch the movie but I always said that she is decent enough, if she work with better director and a a good campaign she would have an Oscar by now.
Jennifer Lopez has never been a bad actress. She is a MUCH better actor than singer, so a good performance is not surprising. She needed a a positive moment after getting dragged for her last movie/vanity piece.
I hope thus gets released soon and at Christmas like other Oscar bait movies. I’m so stoked to see this and I hope it revives interest in the 1985 version. That film doesn’t get celebrated enough these days. ❤
Jennifer Lopez has always been a good, hard-working actress. A lot of her films have been mid, but she has given memorable performances and I rarely, if ever, have seen her phone it in, even in junk.
The pro-LGBT Latin American musical we all deserve! Anyway I really wonder who will get this movie from Sundance. I was surprised how this hasn't been scooped up yet considering Netflix got Train Dreams, A24 got Sorry Baby, and Neon got Together. The trades reported that Searchlight and Mubi were in attendance and both have proven to be good campaigners last year, so if one of those gets this movie then they'll have an excellent run come awards season. Jennifer Lopez might be a messy campaigner lol but I really think she has a better chance here in getting awards love compared to Hustlers. Compared to that movie where she played a more antagonistic character and a stripper, she's singing and dancing and playing an Old Hollywood character which is prime Academy bait.
I won’t tell you what happens at the end, but I WILL constantly drop hints. So by the time you see it, you won’t be able to enjoy the experience of not expecting anything. Gee thanks!
@ I didn’t say a word about spoilers. I can comment what I want. It’s the “comments section”. Was I rude or disrespectful? NO! Leave me alone and enjoy the week.
Didn't Lily Gladstone campaign and succeed in getting a Best Lead Actress nomination for Killers Of The Flower Moon despite the fact that many considered her part a supporting role ??
Jennifer Lopez has never been Oscar worthy! She's a great singer but she's a terrible actress. So glad they snubbed her terrible performance in Hustlers and hopefully they'll do it again. 🙏
If it happen it would be payback for the Hustlers snub,some people just don't like her no matter what she does,the rumours of diva behaviour,the rumours of ghost vocals and the false humility people accuse her of,I don't know what she would have to do for respect from people. Demi Moore finally got it after 30 odd years so there's a big chance and if it's pushed then maybe she finally gets some flowers. I sort of agree she could've been more credible as an actress if he hadn't made sexy videos but who says you can't be sexy and serious.
That means we'll have to give the supporting actress award this year to Ariana Grande this year, which I'm fine with. i love your gripps with the movie, Sugar, you do realize they're in a prison. So, ya, it might be slow at times.
She stands zero chance of even being remembered. The score has been butchered for her. The men don’t sing although the best songs of the broadway musical were sung by both male leads. Chita had 1 or 2 decent songs. JLO is not exactly liked in the industry
She sings herself. Have you ever seen her in concert? Of course not. Because if you did you’d know that she sings live. She sings live on her tours. And she sang live during her 3 year Vegas residency. Sorry to disappoint you 🥹
Felicity Jones maybe lose best supporting actress this year for the brutalist....next year is the year for Felicity Jones in the film of Train Dreams for best actress category.
Stop trying to make J.lo's Oscar happen, it is not gonna happen! They will already be done with de "old actress known for looks" with Demi, it won't be anything left for J.lo!
Jennifer should have gotten an oscar for Selena!! She will not get an oscar or nomination for this!!! She has been feuding with the oscars for years and over the snub of Hustlers!! She claimed word got back to her they didnt even view her performance for consideration on hustlers and several other projects! They have always seen her as pretentious!! I am sure she is pissed a movie like Anora is so big with the academy but they snubbed Hustlers!!!
@ yes she did look up the spanish language movie she did with marc anthony!! the academy just doesnt see as a credible actress. But then again look how far they have sunk with ariana grande getting a nomination and the disaster that is emilia perez!! Nonetheless, I dont think they would easily forget the feud!!
Fun fact: In the original "The Kiss of The Spider Woman", Fernando Torres stars as "Americo". He is the father of Fernanda Torres, current Oscar nominee for best actress in this year's ceremony!

True. Her music career has really been a huge distraction from what could be a formidable film career.
Its true. She watered down her overall career by trying to be a triple threat when focusing on acting would have probably been the better decision

Chita Rivera won a Tony award
as Best Lead Actress on Broadway.
definitely supporting
Everyone is saying supporting but it'll probably just depend on which race is less competitive.
Hard disagree. She is barely an actress.
I love this musical ❤❤❤❤❤
No mention of Sonia Braga who originated Ingrid Luna on screen or Chita Rivera who won the Tony award for the musical. What's wrong with you?
Jennifer Lopez has always been a good, hard-working actress. A lot of her films have been mid, but she has given memorable performances and I rarely, if ever, have seen her phone it in, even in junk.
Go Bill Condon ❤.
The academy will NEVER nominate Jennifer.
May I please introduce you to Demi Moore and Jaime Lee Curtis?
Right! She deserved a Hustlers nom… that was unbelievable
Said Leonardo DiCaprio.
@@professionalspinner9292Uh . . . They can act.
@@patriciagrandjean8205...and were told they were 'scream queens' and 'popcorn actresses', unworthy of awards recognition. I stand by my comment.
Jennifer was great in The wedding planner. It’s still a great rom-com movie. Too bad the academy doesn’t take romcoms/comedies seriously.
The pro-LGBT Latin American musical we all deserve!
Anyway I really wonder who will get this movie from Sundance. I was surprised how this hasn't been scooped up yet considering Netflix got Train Dreams, A24 got Sorry Baby, and Neon got Together. The trades reported that Searchlight and Mubi were in attendance and both have proven to be good campaigners last year, so if one of those gets this movie then they'll have an excellent run come awards season.
Jennifer Lopez might be a messy campaigner lol but I really think she has a better chance here in getting awards love compared to Hustlers. Compared to that movie where she played a more antagonistic character and a stripper, she's singing and dancing and playing an Old Hollywood character which is prime Academy bait.
JLo is legend,she doesn't need that Oscar! I can't wait to wach Kiss of the spider woman❤
日本語で書き込みます。映画の題材となった不朽の名作小説「蜘蛛女のキス」の主題をどれだけ描けているか、がやはり重要だと思います。その点は、どうなのでしょうかね。
I hope it will end the bad era for her, she deserves her redemption .
I won’t tell you what happens at the end, but I WILL constantly drop hints. So by the time you see it, you won’t be able to enjoy the experience of not expecting anything.
Gee thanks!
Why did u watch this video if u were concerned about spoilers. The video wasnt titled non spolier review of kiss of the spider woman
@ I didn’t say a word about spoilers. I can comment what I want. It’s the “comments section”. Was I rude or disrespectful? NO! Leave me alone and enjoy the week.
Didn't Lily Gladstone campaign and succeed
in getting a Best Lead Actress nomination for Killers Of The Flower Moon despite the fact that many considered her part a supporting role ??
O pai da Fernanda Torres, Fernando Torres, fez uma participação no primeiro filme
Jennifer Lopez has never been Oscar worthy! She's a great singer but she's a terrible actress. So glad they snubbed her terrible performance in Hustlers and hopefully they'll do it again. 🙏
Hater!
@@orimC36 Not a hater, I'm realistic!
@@davidfilmexpert She's a terrible singer and a good actress actually.
Love JLO
So Zoe is winning this and Jennifer next year for a musical
Go Jlo , it's your moment!
Jennifer Lopez? Oscar worthy??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gtfo
Phancy Pants a DRAG QUEEN? GTFO 😂
We'll see if all the people being extremely offended by Emilia Perez have anything to say about this.
Depends what the internet tells them to be angry about this year.
This is the opposit of Emilia Pérez
Noooo. That stupid word again. Representation.
What I want to know is does the film at least reminds us of a 16 year old Jennie running up and down the block?
😂
We're in 2025 move on
Don't tease me like this Bryan...is she really?
If it happen it would be payback for the Hustlers snub,some people just don't like her no matter what she does,the rumours of diva behaviour,the rumours of ghost vocals and the false humility people accuse her of,I don't know what she would have to do for respect from people.
Demi Moore finally got it after 30 odd years so there's a big chance and if it's pushed then maybe she finally gets some flowers.
I sort of agree she could've been more credible as an actress if he hadn't made sexy videos but who says you can't be sexy and serious.
That means we'll have to give the supporting actress award this year to Ariana Grande this year, which I'm fine with. i love your gripps with the movie, Sugar, you do realize they're in a prison. So, ya, it might be slow at times.
P Diddy should be the Star😂😂😂
I don’t know if there will be any appetite
Jennifer Lopez should stop getting roles. She’s not even a good actress. She is trying very hard for that Oscars nomination
She stands zero chance of even being remembered. The score has been butchered for her. The men don’t sing although the best songs of the broadway musical were sung by both male leads. Chita had 1 or 2 decent songs. JLO is not exactly liked in the industry
no thanks, tired of these Spiderman-less Spiderverse movies.
Let's replace Karla with J Lo this year. 🤣
Who sang for Jennifer tho
You got that right! She would be NOTHING without the machine behind her. Tommy Mottola is to blame.
Adele?
She sings herself. Have you ever seen her in concert? Of course not. Because if you did you’d know that she sings live. She sings live on her tours. And she sang live during her 3 year Vegas residency. Sorry to disappoint you 🥹
I heard Christina Millan again lol
@@cristianacevedo178 is she alive?
Felicity Jones maybe lose best supporting actress this year for the brutalist....next year is the year for Felicity Jones in the film of Train Dreams for best actress category.
Stop trying to make J.lo's Oscar happen, it is not gonna happen! They will already be done with de "old actress known for looks" with Demi, it won't be anything left for J.lo!
Jennifer Lopez is pretty irrepressible! Yet another divorce, receiving a lot of hate but she still brings it. Jennifer is not to be denied.
Sry, but i don't like musicals and you couldn't pay me to watch Jlow.
Having seen both Chita Rivera & Vanessa Williams on B’way. I have my doubts about Jlo knowing how much it takes to play Aurora. Fingers crossed!
Jennifer should have gotten an oscar for Selena!! She will not get an oscar or nomination for this!!! She has been feuding with the oscars for years and over the snub of Hustlers!! She claimed word got back to her they didnt even view her performance for consideration on hustlers and several other projects! They have always seen her as pretentious!! I am sure she is pissed a movie like Anora is so big with the academy but they snubbed Hustlers!!!
I thought I was the only one who felt this way as well.
Lmfao she has never said that, you people just imagine things and believe them ? 😂
@ yes she did look up
the spanish language movie she did with marc anthony!! the academy just doesnt see as a credible actress. But then again look how far they have sunk with ariana grande getting a nomination and the disaster that is emilia perez!! Nonetheless, I dont think they would easily forget the feud!!
