I read this Spring Breakers review and they had interesting things to say so.
A: Before we wrap this up, I'm curious as to what you thought Hudgens and Gomez's decision to be in this movie and kind of starting to shed their Disney Channel images?
S: Well Vanessa Hudgens has already shed her Disney persona, but Selena Gomez, I applaud her! I think so far so good, with her not turning into a crazy person. I think she gets it. I think she understands that the Disney machine is just that and is a springboard but that you have to make it on your own after Disney. I think Vanessa Hudgens and Miley Cyrus have kind of missed the mark there, but it seems like Gomez is doing okay so far.
A: Well this role, for Gomez, reminded me a lot of when Anne Hathaway she her Princess Diaries persona by doing that Havoc movie. Now granted Hathaway had nude scenes and stuff like that where it was like, "Oh wow, she's really trying to show that she's not a Disney princess anymore." Gomez didn't really have that per se, but the drugs and language and stuff like that still makes a statement. So I found it an interesting career choice, obviously a calculated career move.
S: Oh definitely.
A: I hope that it works out for her and I think it will. But I just found it interesting that they would do a movie like this, at least for Gomez because she's still pretty young.
S: I think she's 20 or maybe turning 21 soon.
A: Hathaway was slightly older than that when she did Havoc and Brokeback Mountain...
S: Well and she was like 18 or 19 when she did The Princess Diaries, whereas Gomez was like 15 when she started doing Wizards of Waverly Place.
A: Exactly. I just think Gomez will probably lose some fans over this but over the long run this is the best thing for her career.
S: And a fair number of her fans from Wizards of Waverly Place will not be allowed to go see this without an adult...
A: But think of the parents who will hear about what this movie is like and then might not want their kids to look up to her anymore.
S: I read an interview with Hudgens and Gomez recently and they were asked about their Disney careers, and Hudgens seemed to really resent the Disney machine in her answers and Gomez didn't. She was very grateful to Disney and understands what they do and acknowledged the different paths different actors and actresses have taken and realizes the dangers. So it was interesting to me and shows a maturity that she has that Hudgens maybe doesn't have? The interview just made me think that Gomez is more likely to head down the path Hathaway took to where she's a respected, Oscar-winning actress now, instead of becoming the next Lindsey Lohan.
A: That maturity you just mentioned is something I think Gomez did a good job portraying in Spring Breakers. I felt she did a good job balancing her character's maturity and immaturity at the same time. Regardless, I was just curious what you felt about that. Sorry for the digression, readers!
