Amores Perros

Alejandro González Iñárritu's first part of his triology is a strange movie. When I first saw it, I wondered if Crash was based on it. Like Crash, it starts with a car accident, and then goes back ... But just when you think the movie is finishing and you've caught up with the beginning, it keeps going.

I felt it almost a bit long, and almost two realistic in places. Adultery and dogs are the recurring elements. of the movie basically. The harsh realism gives a good picture of Mexico I think. Gael García Bernal does an amazing job portraying the lower-middle class mexican boy.

Class must be the theme of the movie. It starts out with Gael García Bernal and his brother's wife and their story. Then it movies on to a rich couple and their problems, and finally it goes to a man who was rich, and had left it all. I guess the point is that they all have the same troubles: infidelity, fickle emotions, and ... dogs.
