The Chinese translation of the film's title makes people feel that the film seems to be an outlet for angry youths who have suffered setbacks on the road of love. Indeed, the betrayal of love runs through the film almost throughout, and the dog in the story is far more loyal than his lover. The protagonist of the first story fell in love with his sister-in-law and had a relationship with her. At the same time, his brother also made a mess with his female colleague. After her brother died unexpectedly, her sister-in-law actually betrayed her brother who loved her deeply. The hero of the second story fell in love with the most beautiful woman in Latin America, Valerie Amelia, and left his wife. However, the sudden car accident after they were together caused Amyya to lose a leg, and her dog, Nickey, who had been with Amyya, suddenly fell into a hole under the floor and couldn't get out. The disappearance of the puppy sparked a potential conflict between these two lovers, who even faced the dilemma of mutual betrayal. The homeless man in the third story is hired to kill, and in the process of stalking the target, he finds that the person he wants to kill is also having an affair with a married woman behind his back, and his employer is actually the target The character's brother. Seeing this, I feel that the Chinese translation of the name is not cruel enough. From this point of view, not only love is a son of a bitch, but also the family love in the movie is really fucking bullshit!
Compared with the betrayal that people face everywhere, the dog in the movie is far more benevolent and loyal. The black dog in the first story made a lot of money for his master through his bravery and fighting; in the second story, only the puppy named Ricky would not abandon the beautiful hostess after the tragic change; The homeless man in Story 3 realized the value of life after the dogs he regarded as his relatives were all killed by Gao Fei, whom he rescued. unrepentant action. In the end, he locked his employer with the target person, and let the two brothers resolve their conflicts by themselves. He also left all the savings for many years to his daughter, and then took the dog named Gao Fei to the world.
The common intersection of these three stories takes place in the car chase and resulting car accident that is presented to us at the beginning of the film. The director then used the car accident as a reference to explain the beginning of each story from the beginning. This technique is somewhat similar to the "flashback" that is often mentioned in Chinese language writing skills, but it takes this as a point to let time and space diverge, and then bury relevant clues and foreshadowings in different stories. Obviously, it is necessary to Much more complicated than a mere "flashback". This way of playing with time is brilliant, and it is really a wonderful brush that is unpredictable.
The director's attitude and views on life are really gray to the extreme. Although the plot of the film is intertwined and exciting, it is really unpleasant to think that people can only live with dogs in the end, and even dogs are inferior. However, looking at the back of the homeless man and Gao Fei walking away in the vast land full of haze, the conclusion that people are inferior to dogs, who can say that it is not like that!
