Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help!

Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Those poor dogs

Can anyone comment on the serious beating that the dogs take in this film? I've never seen a movie featuring so many dogs with broken necks, bloody faces, bullet wounds, etc. Does the writer hate dogs or what?

hmm i'm not sure what exactly you want people to comment on...but just so you know, no dogs were harmed in the making of the film. if the fact that he included such content bothers you...well, in my opinion he was trying to capture reality in mexico. Theconroy 21:29, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

You say, "no dogs were harmed in the making of the film." And your proof for this is where? --207.69.137.10 23:46, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

It's in the opening credits of the film. See Amoresperros Trivia from IMDb, third point. BaldAdonis 20:50, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Also if anyone sees the DVD special effects, there is a section that talks about the dogs,(Los Perros de Amores Perros) and how they where specially trained dogs.They show exactly how they made the scenes happen so that none of the dogs are actually harmed in the making of the movie. For the dead dogs, dolls are used.Saltyseawater 12:28, 30 January 2007.

The popularity of the blood sport involving dogs is a practice in a number of countries, not only in South America but also in Asia as well. Its depiction in the film is about a slice of life in Mexico, where this illegal sport is a way for some people to have money, and also to portray violence, which is a essential theme of the film.

Dogfighting is illegal in Mexico, FWIW200.79.54.253 15:55, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree, the movie shows something that happens a lot in countries like this. It is essential to the film and as Model said, shows just how terrible it can get. It's not that the writer hates dogs, it's just part of the story. Also, the special effects on the dogs were done very, very well, made me think they were real.

Uh. I watch it on IFC it didnt say any notice about dogs being harmed

I havent seen it in TV, but its stated in the DVD credits (and theres a whole "how they did it" section on the second disc. If you watch it carefully, you can see all the dogs featured in the film, alive unharmed and happy)

[edit] hmm....?

what it say trilogy is there a proof?

[edit] On Translating the Title...

Shouldn't the Mexican expression: "Que perro!" (how cool) be considered for this paragraph? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.47.13.74 (talk) 03:15, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
