Movie Reviews of Amores Perros
Movie Review: The ultimate Spanish movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
Take Snatch. Take Memento. Take Pulp Fiction. Take Reservoir Dogs. Now put Spanish dialogue to it, and you have Amores Perros. This movie is a masterpiece. There are three different storylines going on in this movie. But all three are somehow connected to a car wreck. And we also find that they are connected to each other in other ways. This movie is incredible. You find yourself becoming very emotionaly attatched to the characters. So much, you care for them deeply. Now, I hate movies where animals are main characters. But in this movie, the dogs are some of the best actors. The R-rating is for nudity, sexual content, drug use, strong language, quite a bit of violence and some very intense dog-fighting scenes. See this movie.[It is in Spanish] and it will blow you away.Movie Review: Mexico's contemporary best films
Summary: 5 Stars
In the largest city of the world LOVING is not just a need but a way also to show how brutal we can be when we look for love. Looking for affection, love and understanding might become something really hard to find in a concrete jungle like Mexico City. We human beings can turn into brave and wild dogs when we love that bad, we may lose the head and just follow our animal instincts just like the main characters no matter the social status they belong to. The narrative is fun, great and shows at the same time a new face of Mexico's lifestyle probably hasn't seen before in a movie. If you want to see the Old Mexico's stereotypes with big moustaches, horses, tequila and a "beautiful senorita", don't waste your time, this is not definetely that kind of movie.Movie Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've watched this splendid film more times than I care to admit! It's such a great movie that I don't want to ruin it with plot points or a synopsis, so I'll just say this -- the dog fights are horrible and jarring, but it's worth it. The story of loss, love and (of course) dogs is gritty and doesn't sugarcoat life, but ultimately carries an uplifting message. (It's just hard to find amidst all the bloody dogs.) And one more thing -- Gael Garcia Bernal is the sexiest actor since, well, nobody's ever been sexy enough to compare him with. Watch for him to be the next big thing, not only in Mexico but in the U.S. I see him winning an Oscar by 30 (or at least deserving one -- but we all know how the Academy tends to treat racial minorities and foreign actors).
Movie Review: Life is a Bitch
Summary: 5 Stars
The Characters intertwine, mingle, intermix, and interchange. Their paths cross, unite and diverge. The setting is in Mexico, between the slums of Mexico City, world of models /Directors, and high society and thought in the form of an Academic turned into a Communist style rebel, only to be disillusioned and turned into a paid hit man. Between horrendous dog fights, the eager to live and survive, the urge to be loved and embraced for eternity, and the urge to be forgotten and forgiven, this movie spares no human emotion, or violence.
Some survive the trauma of betrayal and lost dreams, some vanish into oblivion and memory after leaving a message on an answering phone, yet other could not deal with the trauma of gaining love and loosing it at once.
Movie Review: Magnificent portrait of life
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie had us tied to the screen for it's full length of three hours. I have never lived in Mexico, nor have I been exposed to too much real life violence. Yet I saw a picture of life and the intertwining of lives so cleverly wrought, and so emotionally strong that it only serves as an enormous showcase for the talent of the makers. Hats off. And I'm sure it was all done on a shoestring budget. Another reason why I don't see the connection with Pulp fiction. (What's the main one? Well, in this movie the violence served to paint a canvas - Pulp fiction was to me mostly "Let's make a cult movie" plastic).The soundtrack was really really excellent, too.
Wonderful to be privileged to watch what talent such as exposed here can do.
