Here the theme of loyalty or disloyalty is very profound. We can see the two’s relationship is quite loving at first but after their pet dog Richie falls into a hole under the floorboard and goes missing, their relationship is strained. In the second segment, we see the bitter-sweet relationship between a higher class couple, Daniel and Valeria. Humberto Busto and Gael García Bernal in “Amores Perros.” Photo: Altavista Films, 2000. The themes of love, loyalty, inequality, and violence are recurring in all of the three stories and with each story these themes go one step further toward the final conclusion.
But the themes of these stories are balanced in such a way that it never feels they are disoriented or disjointed.
Though these three stories are in a same film, it often feels you are watching three different short films, one after another, with a loose connection between them these three stories are somehow independent in nature.
The stories center a teenage boy, Octavio who becomes involved in underworld dogfighting, Valeria a model, who seriously injured her leg, and a mysterious hitman, El Chivo. Written by Guillermo Arriaga, these three stories, divided into three segments, constructed as a triptych. The film tells three different stories interconnected with a horrible car accident in Mexico City. Iñárritu’s directorial debut “ Amores Perros” is a raw, gritty, and intensely emotional depiction of the lives of different people from different sections of society.
