Amores Perros

Sensitive dog lovers should not watch this movie. This said, what a movie man. Iñarritu masterclass, I mean come on I’ve rarely seen a film that mixes different story in once that well, playing with timelapses as if it were a real life thing. I was expecting a bit more romance to be incorporated in the film but honestly that’s my bad for not doing the proper research. Even without that much of romance and toxic but passionate relationships, I had a great time with such a masterpiece. Obviously Gael Garcia Bernal is just as great and expressive than he was in Cuaron’s « Y tu mama tambien » but he is not the main character of the movie. Emilio Echevarria, who’s also another great Mexican actor, is not the main character and neither are any of the characters you could think of. This is because the movie is a smart combination of multiple lives at a certain moment in time in Mexico City and it refuses to give a bit more importance to a character. However, their lives do link to one another and some could say the crash is the linking point but for me, the entire plot revolves around that fucking warrior dog. Cofi is the central element of the plot, nearly as if he was the actual main character and maybe also the reason for all those ruined lives. But anyways it’s hard to talk more about it because my Spanish isn’t totally fluent yet and I also don’t wanna ruin the plot. Great movie, 5⭐️ but will probably never figure on my top 4 as I still feel like it’s a bit hard to create a strong emotional connection to the movie.
