tom waits in "Short Cuts"

Changed from the best collection of short stories by Raymond Carver, Carver mixes fiction and life together. The narrative of the novel is exquisite, concise, addictive, and gloomy. Just like the men in the tom waits song with alcohol and unsatisfactory lives, so are some of the Americans in Carver's writings. The down-and-out middle-aged man Tom waits played in this film is really the one in his own song. His simple comfort didn't work for the girlfriend who had set up other people's children. When he was coaxed out to drink in the bar, he was always poor, and when he paid, he turned the whole wallet upside down. . .
Went to eat.

    8.1 The length of three hours tells about a group of people who do not know each other but whose destiny is staggered. Compared with Magnolia, it is slightly plain and not deep enough.

    I should watch this movie again when I have the chance, I was young and didn't fully understand it.
