Movie Reviews of Amores Perros
Movie Review: Fine film; great 1st effort by Inarritu
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm embarrassed to say that, initially, I believed the lukewarm review in Entertainment Weekly. Then, "Amores Perros" was winning awards everywhere, as well as an Oscar nom. I finally rented the film, and was not at all disappointed. I liked "21 Grams" more than most, and wasn't blown away by "Babel" (except for Brrazza's amazing performance). It was after I saw "Motorcycle Diaries" that I decided I should see Garcia Bernal in his first film. "Amores Perros", despite it's 2½ hour running time is always compelling. Bernal is fine, but it's Emilio Echevarria as El Chivo who gives the most complete, fleshed-out character. Inarritu's usual cast of unhappy people, who never get happier, is alive and well. "Amores Perros" is worth watching for terrific editing and a fine script. I am a dog lover, and was pleased to know that no animals were hurt during the filming, emphasized at length in the DVD extras. Highly recommended!Movie Review: Veritable Willem de Kooning
Summary: 5 Stars
Sharp, impressive and GRITTY! No stone left unturned. Unabashedly raw and real. Amores Perros depicts the intensity of human desires, and how impassioned we become in our pursuit of gratification: The choices ultimately made in life for better or worse. Every move the characters make is a risk, but a choice made with THEM at the helm. Their life out of control is really about their enacting choices and feeling empowered by their actions, and ultimately in control.
The film is at times gruesome, and admittedly, in tone -depressing. In fact, similarly characteristic of a Willem de Kooning work: violent, expressive, imbued w/passion. However, in scope the film is a refreshingly liberating experience, a celebration of man's free will. "Su libre albedrio." For that I laud "Amores Perros." The film in its rawness, like de Kooning, sets free our caged emotions and henceforth the human spirit.
Movie Review: Espectacular!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hace algunos meses adquiri este DVD, pero solo hasta el pasado fin semana tuve la oportunidad de recorrer la totalidad de su contenido y me encontre con varias sorpresas que me parecieron muy interesantes, entre ellas una version de la pelicula con la explicacion y narracion de Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu escena por escena, y un "Making of" Amores Perros con el profesionalismo que no envidiaria para nada un documental sobre un film de Hollywood.Volviendo a lo mas importante Esta obra del cine latinoamericano es un "Must-Have" una obligacion para cualquier amante del cine hispano, para entender sus nuevas maneras de contar historias, para identificarse entre la diversidad de personajes de la vida contidiana en el tercer mundo y sobre todo para darse cuenta de lo lejos que ha llegando nuestro cine a manera de superproduccion.
Movie Review: One of the best movies ever produced in Mexico!
Summary: 5 Stars
Amores Perros is a clear picture of modern Mexico. The movie pictures the reality of the mexican society in a way only Gonzales Iñarritu can. In order to appreciate the movie, the viewer has to see beyond the dog fights and the violence of the movie, and focus on the social aspects of the film. You will find that most of the violence and blood of the movie are justified for one reason or another, and you will also see a picture of the different social classes in the Mexican society. This movie is great for people in the U.S that think every country in the world is like the United States. I would recommend this movie to all the people out there that don't know Latin America, or just don't care about Latin America. Maybe after seeing this, they can start thinking a little outside the "box of stars and stripes".Movie Review: An awesome movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie like Pulp Fiction and Go wrapped in one. The movie is not for everyone. There are many scenes that maybe to hard for some to handle. If dog fighting is too much for you to handle then don't see this movie at all. However, if you are able to look past that part then go for it. The movie is about three stories that at first don't seem connected at all but by the end of the movie they all fit. The movie stays true to its title. The title can be translated to mean love is a like a dog. All the people in the film are driven to the edge because of love. I highly recommend the movie the actor Gael Bernal Garcia is fantastic. He is the same guy from from Y Tu Mamá También and El Crimen del Padre Amaro. He is also in a Levi's commericial as well.
