    Robert Altman is indeed a master of group drama. For three hours, he showed the Los Angeles style paintings and the appearance of all beings. There are many big names, and even small characters are familiar. Unlike the multi-line narratives of films such as "Crash" and "Tongtian Tower," this film is slightly loose and casual. Julianne Moore has large-scale performances.

    The multi-line narrative power of Ultraman's flashing and moving is fully demonstrated in "Short Cuts". Yet the more flamboyant his narrative technique, the harder it is for his films to capture what he calls "real life." Not a single plot in this Ukiyo-e is about real life problems, not a single character is interesting, and not a single turning point involves people's inner world. Maybe the country music capital of the '70s had more life than '90s Los Angeles, but that's not why "Nashville" is so much better than this sequel. The picture of the former is full of currentness, and the director seems to be in his characters. And here, he turns into a cynical god, weaving his characters together at random and kicking them away. Like its poor parody "Magnolia," this film is the initiator of pesticides and frog rain, and the switch for earthquakes. The characters are not imprisoned by life, but become prisoners of the director.
