Love, this son of a bitch!
Crazy, crazy, crazy.
Let people ignore ethics, let people betray morality, and let people fall into the abyss.
There is a saying, delicious dumplings are better than sister-in-law.
Although I don't agree with it, it is clear that some people really like to eat sister-in-law.
He fell in love with his brother's wife, and even wanted to fly away with him.
He is also a lover.
The eldest brother is a sloppy rogue. During the day, he goes to the supermarket with a smile on his face, and at night, he wears a mask and robs the bank with his accomplices.
He doesn't care about his wife and children at all. When his desires come, he pushes his wife down. When his desires go away, he throws his wife aside. When he is in a bad mood, he punches and kicks his wife.
So he became a selfless pick-up man, earning money to spend for his sister-in-law and baby nephew.
The elder brother is a local ruffian, and he is also a gangster who is not doing his job properly.
Earn money not by work, but by gambling.
Bet what? Gamble the dog!
His family raised a little black, who was usually mild and harmless, but he was invincible when he was pulled into the dogfighting arena.
He became a winner in life. Win the money, and also win the sister-in-law.
It's a pity that just when he was about to fly away with his sister-in-law after the last dog fight, the sister-in-law absconded with the money and the eldest brother.
Lost people and money.
Not only that, but in the last dogfight, his dog was also shot down by the opponent.
In a fit of rage, he pulled out a knife and stabbed the other party, then drove away with the dying dog.
bang~~
Two cars collided, one killed and two injured.
This car accident ruined his life and also involved and changed the lives of two other people .
"Love is a bitch" uses a car accident to connect three people, three stories, and three clues.
The fates of the three men briefly intersected due to a car accident, and then went their separate ways.
She, one of the most beautiful women in Latin America, a supermodel with a promising future,
Unfortunately, a car accident caused her to lose her long legs.
She has a pet dog named "Mickey" that she considers her own child.
However, during a play, it unfortunately fell into a hole in the wooden floor of the room and was unable to get out on its own for several days.
Under the double blow, her mental state became more and more unstable,
Her boyfriend is also between her and her ex-wife, and she doesn't know where her fate will go.
He is a white-bearded beggar killer, homeless and dependent on several stray dogs.
Twenty years ago, when he was young and frivolous, he wanted to change the world and joined the White Army, one of the most notorious paramilitary groups in Mexican history.
Arrested and jailed for detonating a bomb in a mall, kidnapping a banker and shooting a police officer.
After he was released from prison, he had already been in conflict with others and separated from his wife and children, so he took up the job of a killer and hid in a dark corner to survive.
He has a daughter whom he has not seen in 20 years, and he has vowed not to interfere in her daughter's life, but he is still secretly observing her every move without her knowledge.
When he was young, he abandoned his wife and children for his ambitions.
When he was old, he understood the preciousness of his family.
But what can be done, it's too late.
The three lives of the three people are all embarrassing.
And several dog births in the three periods of life also follow the owner's fate to become bumpy and ill-fated.
In this film, "dog" is the factor connecting the three clues, and it is also a symbol of the fate of the three protagonists.
The dog is in the man, the dog is gone and the man is gone.
"Love is a bitch" is the feature-length debut of Mexican director Alessandro Gonzalez Inarritu.
He was a famous DJ on a well-known rock radio station in Mexico , and therefore used rock music in many places in his debut.
In 1990, he was engaged in commercial shooting, and in 1991, he established his own film production company. The first work he directed was a medium-length TV series, trying to transform into a director.
In the process of looking for a script, he met screenwriter Guillermo Arriga, and the two were like-minded and began to prepare a script for a short film about Mexico City.
After 3 years and 36 revisions , only three clips remain, which is the prototype of the film "Love is a bitch".
Once the feature film was released, it was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 73rd Academy Awards.
He also won Best Director at the 87th and 88th Academy Awards for Birdman and The Revenant, and The Revenant was nominated for Best Picture.
(The director and Xiao Lizi, the two collaborated on "Desert Island Hunter")
In addition to the well-known "The Revenant" and "Birdman", the director also shot the critically acclaimed "Barrier Trilogy" in the early days , " Love is a bitch" is one of them (the other two are "The other two are" 21 grams" "Tower of Babel").
The director's films have always had a strong personal style, and almost each of his films adopts a multi-clue narrative method.
He himself is also known as a multi-cue expert , and there are thousands of unrelated people and things, but they are implicated in the end.
In line with this world, it is both realistic and ideal.
In "Love is a bitch" , the director made the characters in the three clues overlap and meet unexpectedly, conveying the chaotic vitality of the entire Mexico City through the life choices of these people.
Director Inarido once said that he did not make this film with his head, but only relying on intuition and instinct, just like the fighting dog in the film, believe in himself and attack accurately.
"Love is a bitch" is not at all warm, and the director did not express any sympathy or pity for the tragic fate of the characters in the story, let alone the so-called "political correctness".
The characters also oscillate between the very good and the bad, no one is perfect, and no one is worthless.
"Everyone's love and life are full of changes and unease, and they are all TMD son of a bitch."
But as people say,
"Maybe love and life are not as unbearable as imagined, just like the director left a bright tail at the end of each story."
The dog fighting youth did not leave alone;
Model and lover cuddle in front of the window;
The road ahead for the beggar killer is barren but bright.
