Amores Perros -

Personally I found Amores Perros drew mixed emotions from me. With the dog fighting, crimes, love affairs, deception ect ...
I think all over its quite a negetive film that shows Marxism in the way that it shows how society gives people a certain attitude towards life. With Valaria being a modle, modlers expect perfection on a great scale and to be in a car crash and end up with a huge scar on her leg, she naturally feels like her life is over, then when she finally appears to come to terms with that aspect of her life that now may be over, she then has to have her leg amputated which then quite literally appears to kill her inside, being so perfect before hand.

Next the way that octavio and his brother are together, so much hatred between them both. Himself and susana having what appears to be an affair behing his brothers back, another affair is between Daniel & valaria, although Daniel eventually told his wife that he was leaving her. Then the dog fighting with the shoot scene at the end. I never quite knew what i was meant to be feeling.

I did however like the way that all three stories linked together so well. The car crash being a result of Octavios escaping, which led to valaria injuring her leg, then the bum tried to help save them, it all just linked perfectly without fault.

Amores Perros just seemed to be disturbed and negetive however it caught my attention and at many points i coulod not turn away from the screen dispite the fact that i didn't like what i was seeing. It was a really good film.
