Amores Perros
: I think amores perros is the best mexican movie in last 30 years, ths movie show the violence in the biggest world city, i think this movie is not "the mexican pulp fiction", because this violence is real we live with this violence when we open the newspapers, so this is not an invented violence, it is real; I suggest to see the movie "los olvidados" (Luis Bużuel) for understandt the violence in Mexico city, technical the movie is great, photographie, screenplay, actor, direction, et al, so i am say you have to see this movie
This movie is really 3 separate stories linked together by a major car accident at which main characters in all 3 stories are present. This film was well thought-out and very well produced, the actors were all good, and I was very impressed with this film (which is strange, because this is the ONLY Mexican film I have ever enjoyed). I recommend this film to anyone who has seen an enjoyed Memento, Lola Rennt (Run Lola Run), or Fight Club.
This film wont let your eyes go. Its movement, and an almost surreal sensibility, that juxtapose the contrast of its characters against settings that are most unexpected. Amazingly real at the same time.
Unbelievable that such a outrageous and enticing and exciting rollercoaster ride came from Mexico! Recommended to all those who seek not leaving the seat at the movies, turning off the phones and kicking loud people of the room. Put on the surround sound and darken the vicinity! This movie is riveting and engrossing! I loved it and bought it!
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.
