It is one of the best movies I have ever seen and I've seen alot. For everyone that hasnt seen this movie, watch it, dont waste your money on stupid movies like the Mummy 2. Oh and as for the Academy Awards is not an awards cerimony that really picks the best movies as the winners.  They go with the flow and pick the movies that made the most money or that very influential people made it and so therefore they choose them.  Like Gladiator, i loved this movie dont get me wrong here but it was no movie of the year.  Amores Perros should have one Best Foreign Film and Best Film of the Year. Obviously, everone else chosed this movie for Best film of the year here they are:
Best Film: International Critic's Week  Cannes Film Festival 2000
Best New Director: Edinburgh Film Festival 2000
Best Film: International Film Festival of Flanders 2000
Best Film & Best Actor: Chicago International Film Festival 2000
Audience Award: AFI Fest Los Angeles 2000
Best Film: International Film Festival Bogota, Colombia 2000
Best Film: Festival International de Valdivia, Chile 2000
Best Film: Sao Pablo International Film Festival 2000
Best Film & Best Director: Tokyo International Film Festival 2000
I guess what im trying to stress here is that dont go support stupid movies like the Mummy 2 and so on, go watch movies like this one so the film industry will make more like them. That's it. Peace Out!
