amores perros dvd 2010

##title##

The film was released under its Spanish title in the English-speaking world, although its title was sometimes translated as Love's a Bitch in marketing. In a 2001 interview on National Public Radio, director I��rritu pointed out that an American English idiom, Love's a Bitch is not a satisfactory translation of the title[citation needed] (see below). The soundtrack included songs by well-known Latin American rock bands, such as Caf� Tacuba, Control Machete and Bersuit Vergarabat.

The film is constructed from three distinct stories linked by a car accident that brings the characters briefly together.

The final segment stars Emilio Echevarr�a and Lourdes Echevarr�a. The story concerns a former private school teacher who had become involved in guerrilla movements that landed him in prison for 20 years. He appears in the film as a bedraggled vagrant pushing a junk cart accompanied by several mongrel dogs for whom he cares. Though he appears to live in perpetual squalor in an abandoned warehouse, he is in fact a professional hitman, El Chivo (The Goat). At times throughout his story, Chivo tries to make contact with his daughter, Maru, whom he abandoned when she was a two-year-old child when he began his guerrilla involvement. We learn in the film that instead of telling her the truth about the abandonment and the prison sentence, her mother told her that her father had died.

One of the most controversial aspects of the film are the scenes of dog fighting. I��rritu explains that no dogs were harmed during the making of Amores perros. In the scenes where dogs are apparently attacking each other, they were actually playing. Their muzzles were covered with fine fishing line, so that they were unable to bite another dog. In the shots where dogs are apparently dead or dying, they were sedated (under the watchful eye of the Mexican ASPCA). The realism of the scenes is amplified by quick cuts and sound effects.
