      He brought you to lie to me that what you desire may have hope

      Teenagers

      are young, impulsive, and sincere. It seems that he doesn't go to school or work, and lives with his mother, brother and sister-in-law, a messy and cramped house, a long-winded and cowardly mother, a rogue and violent brother; it's really a place that people don't want to stay for an extra minute; fortunately, here There is also a loyal dog Cofi, and in his eyes a charming little sister-in-law.

      If there is one thing that is important, it is being with you.


          In the cluttered, noisy, secular city, people, love, dogs—we used to be like abandoned orphans, wandering and not knowing where to go. The story takes place in Mexico, a place too far from heaven and too close to America. The masters of the three stories follow the law of six degrees of personal connections, and they all pass by each other, and their fates are intertwined in a car accident.

          The flashback of the story begins with a car accident. We are used to deep...

      did you see through

      Youth, middle age, old age, love, friendship, family affection, these three stories are intertwined, and the car accident at the beginning of the film is linked together.
       
      This is the case with many movies these days. Different stories from different people who have no relationship at all can be linked together for a simple reason. Makes the world feel amazing. It seems like a few meters to the left to the right. Nets are nets; dots are dots.
       
      The younger brother who fell in...

      love is a bitch

      The director narrates three stories about love, uses a car accident to make them intersect, and uses a dog as a bright line to illustrate from a male perspective that the so-called love is so vulnerable in a world of the jungle. Octava, who loves his sister-in-law and can't bear to be bullied by his brother, uses all the money he earned from dog fighting to support his dream of flying away with his sister-in-law. He thought it was a car accident that turned around, but he was deceived and lost...

      Introspection under the extreme of contradictions that have nothing to do with love and end intensification of life

      Love is a son of a bitch is the most TOP clockwork in the movie on station A. The episode of Zhang Anli is about the brilliant debut of various famous directors. Amway has a lot of movies that I plan to watch in the future. And Alexandros Gonzalez, who won the Oscar for director with The Revenant, needless to say, the long shot and the slightly magical success of digging out old Batman's sad history. The hunter finally fulfilled Xiao Li's dream. It is said that the conscience of the picture has...

    A three-stage story with multi-line development, interpersonal and inter-dog relationships, as well as rhythmic soundtracks and pictures. The way of mirroring and storytelling in "Love is a son of a bitch" is like a complete MTV with a complete plot. Coupled with the overlapping of various characters and unexpected encounters, the chaotic vitality of the entire Mexico City is chosen through the lives of these people. Wonderful...
