Amores Perros

Amores Perros (loves a bitch) Spanish with English subtitles…a 9 on the JWorld scale of 1-10

Deep complex drama…powerful Three stories interspersed…one a young man in love with his abusive brothers wife, a wealthy man who leaves his family for the hot young thing, and then she is in a severe car accident and crippled….and a hit man who left his family years ago to be a rebel against the govt. and is pained because he loves the daughter he left so much….none truly find what they want…it shows how life is so fragile…wonderful one moment…destroyed the next….and wondering how it all collapsed…yet how love can inspire you to do great things…how passion can override love….but is that real love…how helping people can end up being very destructive to the things that you love…how life is not fair…sometimes bad people have bad things happen….sometimes bad people have good things happen…overall it is also a comment on society…how little we value life, how little we value love. The hit man’s love for his dog is the most sincere love that I felt in the movie….and how those who fail to take the risk for love not only diminish themselves, but the one who truly loves them…instead of supporting them.

Dog fighting and dogs play a large part in this movie…What is love….and how painful it can be, and yet how we still yearn for it and still will do almost anything for it….sad, moving movie…the rebel was the most complex character…righteous on the one hand…evil on the other…pained on the other…still searching for right in the world at one point he screams “this is not right” (you will be pained when you see the scene) In the end, he realized that although he doesn’t have the courage to face all his demons…he realizes he is on the wrong path…and he will walk the path until he finds it. Is that enough deep stuff for everyone or what!!!
