The most impressive is the third story. This is how the world is. Those with status look down on those without status, and this also includes racial discrimination. Then there is no place to pity the physically handicapped.
It's funny how black drivers show intense dissatisfaction and anger when they're being taunted by others. However, when he met the blind woman later, he asked questions that showed his concern, which seemed to be caring, but was actually different in essence from the two passengers who laughed at him. This is to face the weak with the attitude of the strong.
He worries about the blind girl everywhere, but obviously the blind girl is living a free and easy life.
Negro: Don't blind people usually wear sunglasses?
Blind Woman: Really? Not sure, I've never seen a blind man.
Black people: Blind people must have a lot of inconveniences.
Blind Woman: Listen up, bastard. I can do what you can, I can do a lot that you can't, I'm blind, that's all.
....
Black: You don't even know what a guitar looks like.
Blind Woman: I know what a guitar is like, you don't have a feeling for things like I do.
...
Finally, when the black man warned the blind girl to be careful, he accidentally hit the car. Although the blind girl can't see, she can protect herself better, see more thoroughly, and live more casually.

    A brief but touching encounter with several strangers. The last three stories are even more impressive, the night is late and people are quiet. The glitz of the day has completely faded away, and the city has fallen into boundless silence. Accompanied by loneliness, it seems that there are only two people in the world, either absurd or gloomy, discussing life in a small taxi. Just after watching the many multi-line narrative films in Yinar, Jarmusch's image seems too far-fetched.
