While probably not the most productive, it did motivate me to start consuming more media in Spanish, French, and German, so I thought I&#8217;d start sharing a weekly recommendation! Amores Perros is a movie by Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez I\u00f1arritu, a Mexican filmmaker that has released some great films such as The Revenant and Biutiful. Amores Perros is a devastating movie about different stories that crash together during an accident (figuratively and literally speaking). This movie is such a brutal portrayal of the social problems in Mexico. As the title suggests, dogs play a big part in the story! I&#8217;m wondering how they got these dogs to act so well. Are there animal Oscars? If so, it&#8217;s a close call between these gnarly dogs and the one from Anatomy of a Fall. That dog can act. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2882,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[93,83,72],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1988","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-levels","category-film","category-spanish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/langlabbies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1988","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/langlabbies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/langlabbies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/langlabbies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2882"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/langlabbies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1988"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/langlabbies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1988\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2121,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/langlabbies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1988\/revisions\/2121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/langlabbies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1988"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/langlabbies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1988"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/langlabbies\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
