“I grew up in a crowded apartment with my family living in one bedroom,” Ramírez said. “And for a Dominican girl who played video games for the first time in the United States, and is now acting in a big movie about a video game, this is my American dream”
On screen, Ramírez plays an avatar in Jumanji that guides players with clues. And off screen, she says that video game avatars are also guiding players on a journey to explore their identity.
Fans say that video games can help players change perspectives, reimagine themselves as different characters. And “Jumanji: The Next Level” pays homage to this by allowing players to switch avatars. “Video games in moderation can be both good and necessary,” she said. “But if you play all the time, you will lose your social skills. I encourage my kids to play face to face with others so that they can feel their reality and not lose touch.”
