Page 10 April 2, 2015 TORRANCE TRIBUNE Film Review from page 3 without any. The sometimes painful events showing Hagen’s dog training and turn from innocent to aggressor stand out as the director’s statement on social unrest–that the indignities of the minority can only endure for so long before boiling over into revengelike upheaval. Perhaps the film’s weaker, or rather, less stimulating component comes from its familiar structure outside of the draw of featuring live dogs to tell the story. But there is so much fire and kinetic friction from the very start that it’s fully rewarding to see when the dogs break free, charging full speed through the abandoned streets of Hamburg, terrorizing pedestrians and taking revenge on the film’s earlier antagonists. Here though, things resolve a bit too easy, in a final sequence that could have invoked even further boundary-pushing; though the entire journey of grueling emotional highs and lows will still leave audiences stunned. White God should be considered essential viewing; past its excitement and successful gimmick of following a real dog’s life, the social issues, while still hitting familiar notes, realize an empathy in us all that makes its point: until we can all live together in society, things might get a little rough. White God opens in Los Angeles at the Landmark Theater this weekend.

These full, wordless sequences make this reviewer wonder how the on-set animal training and editing were combined to create these incredible scenes, some of the film’s most effective parts. The film makes its more moving statements in the second act’s events, as Hagen is shown subjected to the unfortunate life of a stray within a society that fails to aid, making for continually saddening but powerful watching. He is caught by a homeless man and sold to a dog-fighting trainer, who submits the dog to such despicable acts as beatings and other tortures to invoke his more beastial and primal anger. These painful-to-watch events ultimately lead to Hagen, now teeth baring and snarling, finally revolting along with a city’s worth of canine comrades, in a third act that best resembles Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds and the city-takeover stylings of The Rise of the Planet of the Apes, where the film moves from social commentary to a type of exploitive-horror. White God’s emotional moments and truths are heart-breaking in their display, as Mundruczó never shies away from showing the brutalities that Hagen endures at the hand of the more evil pawns of empowered society, the “white gods” that hold the power over those painting PAINTERS PLUS Like Us INTERIOR • EXTERIOR PLUS on Facebook IMPROVEMENTS • REPAIRS FREE ESTIMATES LOWEST PRICES • GUARANTEED QUALITY 5 YEAR FREE MAINTENANCE SERVING THE BEACH CITIES FOR OVER 20 YEARS Police Reports from page 3 PRAIRIE AVE Suspect(s) takes unattended property off of table/ jewelry Burglary-Auto 3/16/2015 12:00:00 PM 3400 BLOCK SEPULVEDA BLVD Suspect(s) enters unlocked vehicle and takes property/registration and insurance Auto Theft 3/16/2015 8:21 AM 600 BLOCK PINE DR Stolen vehicle: ‘98 Ford van Burglary-Auto 3/16/2015 6:52:01 AM 16100 BLOCK ILLINOIS CT Suspect(s) enters unlocked vehicle, ransacks and takes property/ keys Burglary-Commercial 3/16/2015 8:30:00 AM 2100 BLOCK SEPULVEDA BLVD Suspect(s) kicks in doors for entry, ransacks and takes property/ cash, CPU Theft 3/16/2015 7:30:00 AM 1700 BLOCK FERN AVE Suspect(s) pries open mailbox and takes property/ mail Burglary-Auto 3/16/2015 7:30:00 AM 18100 BLOCK PRAIRIE AVE Suspect(s) enters vehicle by unknown means, ransacks and takes property/ cash Theft 3/16/2015 8:00:00 AM 3700 BLOCK GARNET ST Suspect(s) takes property from parking garage/ bicycle Theft 3/15/2015 3:00:00 PM 3700 BLOCK GARNET ST Suspect(s) takes locked property from parking garage/bicycles Auto Theft 3/15/2015 11:30:00 AM 19800 BLOCK HAWTHORNE BLVD Stolen vehicle: ‘07 GMC Yukon Burglary-Residential 3/15/2015 8:05:00 PM 16800 BLOCK CRENSHAW BLVD Suspect(s) forces open window for entry, ransacks and takes property/documents, checkbook, shoes, jewelry Burglary-Auto 3/15/2015 11:30:00 AM 16000 BLOCK VAN NESS AVE Suspect(s) takes property from tool box in truck bed/tools • handyman BILL’S HOME & APARTMENT MAINTENANCE CONTRACTOR QUALITY at Handyman Prices.
