Silly fucking love is not love, love you mother x

The whole movie is made up of three different stories, connected by a car accident and a dog. In the process of narration, the time is completely chaotic, but because of the director's clever design, everything becomes easy to sort out.

Can't remember the character's name. (Remembering the name of a foreigner is a big bug of mine) Besides, it is called: younger brother; model; old man.

First of all, I personally think (according to my beginner's level of Spanish), the translation of the movie's title "Love is a bitch" is too strange... This translation is very misleading to me. I first strayed in the direction of completely criticizing "love". As everyone knows not. Personal characters, this movie is about love like a dog, not even a dog. (The dog analogy here is derogatory)

The first protagonist is the younger brother, and the version I read translated his dog into: Coffey. The younger brother's family is difficult, the elder brother is not up to his expectations, and he also beats his sister-in-law and children. The younger brother likes his sister-in-law and wants to take her away, but unexpectedly discovers that his dog has the potential to fight a dog (is that how it is called?). And use this to make money and prepare funds to escape with his sister-in-law. As everyone knows, because of this tool for making a living, he has killed his brother and his good friend, injured the dog (taken away by the old man), and disabled himself. But the saddest thing was not these. He finally found that he silently loved his sister-in-law, thinking that when his brother died, his sister-in-law would accept him as a matter of course. Actually no, my sister-in-law still loves my brother. He paid so much for love, and in the end he didn't even have a fart.

The beautiful model was originally supposed to have a double harvest in love and career, but because of a car accident, her life tool, long legs, was seriously injured. At the same time, his beloved dog Richie fell into the floor and was bitten by a mouse. (I don't really remember Qing dead or not.) Actually, I personally think that there is a feeling of analogy here. The point is not here. It can be found in detail that the photographer actually loves his original partner more, and in this triangular relationship, everyone knows it well. The model frantically looking for the dog on the floor at night is actually out of anger for the disloyalty of the other half, and wants to find solace in the dog. But he made mistakes again and again, and finally led to the end of amputation. Like her dog, her love survived reluctantly, but what's the point?

I don't understand too much, the old man's setting of that guerrilla, what is a guerrilla? The emotional line of the old man is not the love between men and women, but the love for his daughter. The old man felt guilty for leaving his daughter, raised a bunch of dogs, and treated them like his own children. In this car accident, the old man kindly took in Coffey, but Coffey killed all his "children". It's not clear whether the daughter recognized him in the end, anyway, he was miserable. I still remember a detail, the old man's friend saw the old man and said, "Aren't you wearing glasses?" The old man replied, "If God makes me not see clearly, then so be it." Almost at the end, the old man left the place. Before the city, with glasses, I went to my daughter's house again, and looked at my daughter carefully, one last time.

Silly fucking love is not love, love you mother x. After watching the whole movie, my only thought.

I used to think that love is something that can surpass everything. really? The truth is always cruel, no matter how much love you give, sometimes there is no echo. When I got to this place, I started to fall into a kind of contradiction. What I saw and thought, and the translated title "Love is a bitch" slowly got a kind of fit.

All in all, after watching this movie, the result of the story is obviously very clear, but the mind is very chaotic. Many plots that should be detailed and developed, the director did not play well. This is where I personally feel the fly in the ointment.

Anyway, this is a particularly incoherent "movie review".

    Love is a son of a bitch, and fate is even more of a son of a bitch. Gonzalez's first film is so fluid and self-styled, with multiple stories intersecting, each with a sad ending. The 21 grams in the future, the Babel Tower will not be able to escape this style.

    The narrative is very fluid, not as obscure as 21 Grams. Typical Spanish style, wild and bloody. Strong visual impact.
