... View MoreIt's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
... View MoreThe film may be flawed, but its message is not.
... View MoreThe film has a very good rhythm, and soon in the initial scene we are already attached to the film and we start to cheer for Octavio, who is who stars in the first part of the film. The other cores - Daniel and Valeria and El Chivo and Maru - have only a quick introduction, only to justify the core change later, which is also done very naturally, leaving only a hint of Octavian's story to be counted in the minutes End of the film, when we are already much more interested in the history of El Chivo than in his. The characters are very catchy and the actors give life to them very well, yielding several exciting moments throughout the two and a half hours of film. I also really enjoyed the dramatic arc, showing the causes and consequences of the car crash shown in the initial scene.
... View MoreAlejandro Gonzalez Inarritu began his career as a broadcaster and Radio producer Hence his vast musical knowledge that can be Reflected throughout the film. Also his first pininos As a director, was doing commercials for Televisa, specifically In the creative area of channel 5. In the latter we can see its side Creative and why not, his sense of humor, mostly black, like his Nickname and sarcastic. However in Amores perros what it proves is a Society, using as a point in common the canines, and Does in a majestic way, interweaving stories by means of a car crash. The performances are poignant in each of The characters, especially in the story of the "Goat" which is Capable of provoking fear and tenderness at the same time. The story that Could say that is the least attractive, would be the Spanish woman But that of Gael Garcia Bernal is touching and sad, as much as the Of the Goat. Inarritu's first feature is the reflection of what it is now. A successful winner of 2 Oscars, very well deserved
... View MoreAlejandro Gonzalez Innaritu is one of the greatest filmmakers of the 21st century for his breathtaking vision and the power he brings in his darkest films. "Amorres Perros" is a heartbreaking story that digs into your soul and stays with you. It's blistering performances and depressing subject matter are the things that build upon strong films. While disturbing and saddening to watch at many times, "Amorres Perros" thrives in doing what it intends on doing, that being showing you the real world and how multiple people of different backgrounds can relate to one another no matter their lifestyles. Three interconnected stories about the different strata of life in Mexico City all resolve with a fatal car accident. Octavio is trying to raise enough money to run away with his sister- in-law, and decides to enter his dog Cofi into the world of dogfighting. After a dogfight goes bad, Octavio flees in his car, running a red light and causing the accident. Daniel and Valeria's new-found bliss is ended when she loses her leg in the accident. El Chivo is a homeless man who cares for stray dogs and is there to witness the collision. With three stories being interconnected by an accident, we see the dark sides to each group of people. We learn about their motifs, their failures, and, surprisingly, their mutual love of dogs (hence the title "Love's a Bitch"). What Innaritu and writer Guillermo Arriaga do is craft an amazing masterpiece that stands out as one of the greatest foreign films of all time. This powerful drama brings the hardship and hope of life in magnificent and creative ways that help you appreciate the power of storytelling and good drama.
... View MoreAs a dog lover, this film was a hard watch during some of the scenes, but man did this film give the dogs honest character not only for themselves but their owners, which is the purpose of the story; we see the world revolving around the animals rather than on a human protagonist and how this dog-eat-dog world is always changing.Amores Perros is well written and directed, but this film is one of the biggest heavy- hitters I've ever watched. It makes you feel uncomfortable a lot of the time and you get stressed with the characters when the story calls for it. This film shows just some of the everyday chaos people can go through in Mexico City, and the dogs change with the people who own them. The people are only as good or as corrupt as the people who care for them; keeping that in mind, Amores Perros makes for an impactful experience that doesn't leave the viewers unaffected.This film is simply worth a watch. It's not a rosie-painted Hollywood flick; this is international art-house cinema that has a lot to say about human circumstance and city life of the underprivileged.
