Added DiffLines:

* RuleOfSymbolism: Valeria and Daniel's apartment in their segment. At the beginning, the apartment looks well furnished and elegantly made with it's hardwood floors, [[{{Foreshadowing}} which collapses and makes a hole]], and after the crash there's a helium Mylar balloon that says "I love you" tied to the bed. After Richie, Valeria's dog, gets trapped under the floorboards, and her agent says that he'll negotiate a renewal for her contract when she gets better, the balloon becomes de-inflated, and they make more holes on the floor trying to get Richie out, and their relationship becomes even more tenuous, with screaming matches becoming common. At the end of their segment Daniel brings Valeria back from the hospital [[spoiler: with an amputated leg, and the floor still in shambles. She breaks down when she sees her perfume ad replaced by a "this space available" billboard, effectively symbolizing that [[DownerEnding her career as a supermodel and the only life she knew where effectively over]]]].

''Amores Perros'' is a 2000 Mexican drama film directed by Creator/AlejandroGonzalezInarritu. It is both his directorial debut and the first in his "trilogy of death", followed by ''Film/TwentyOneGrams'' and ''Film/{{Babel}}''. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The title translates in English as roughly "''Love's a Bitch''", though WordOfGod states that this is not what the title is supposed to mean. It is sometimes referred to as "the Mexican ''Film/PulpFiction''", although if you're expecting the film to be in any way similar to that film except in terms of structure, your're out of luck.

To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.


* BadassBeard: El Chivo sports one, [[spoiler: that he shaves off after he realizes that he wants to be a better man so he can eventually reconnect with his daughter.]]
