Not all dog-related movies are heartwarming, but Love Is a Bitch is brutal.
In this film, dogs are playthings, used to satisfy people's perverted preferences and money transactions.
There is a chaotic dog fighting scene at the beginning of the movie. People surround the dog in the middle. After a while, there are mottled blood and dog corpses on the ground.
This is definitely not a comfortable movie to watch.
There are 3 protagonists and 3 stories in the movie.
Ottavio is a homeless man, but he falls in love with his sister-in-law, Suzanne, and wants to save her dogfighting money to elope with her.
Lelia is a popular supermodel, and she has also gained love while working smoothly. Her lover Daniel left his wife and children and chose to start a new life with her.
Martin is a killer, living alone with a few stray dogs. When he was young, he followed his ideals and abandoned his wife and daughter. Now that he is old, he can only read his wife's obituary in the newspaper and watch his daughter live from a distance.
These three people did not meet at all, but briefly overlapped because of a car accident.
When Ottavio was in a dogfight that day, he shot his dog Goofy, stabbed him in a fit of rage, then drove away and crashed into Lelia's car.
Ottavio was alive, but his friend in the car died. Friends are gone, dogs are gone, love is gone.
Before that, Susanna took all his money and ran away with his eldest brother. After the eldest brother died, he still did not give up taking her away. But he waited for a long time at the station alone, and she never showed up.
She just took advantage of his enthusiasm and never thought of going with him.
For Lelia, a sudden car accident ruined everything for her.
She lost her long legs and her modeling career ended. After her dog fell under the wooden floor and couldn't get out, she became emotionally unstable, arguing endlessly with her boyfriend, and her love was in jeopardy.
Martin was in the vicinity preparing for a killing mission when the crash happened. He took advantage of the chaos to steal Otavio's money and take the dying Goofy.
He rescued Gao Fei, but Gao Fei killed all the stray dogs that depended on him. He pointed the gun at Gao Fei, but couldn't bear to pull the trigger. Maybe from that moment on, he never wanted to kill again.
He left all the money to his daughter and left with Goofy.
In these three stories, the dog is sometimes a commoner of destiny, sinking with its owner; sometimes it is a witness, witnessing the truth of life, in fact, there are not so many happy-endings.
Some love, try hard also to no avail.
Some changes can easily defeat love.
Some homes, once you leave, you can never go back.
Loveisabitch.
Can't get it, can't let go, can't forget
