Reply #2: His characters are not always "lovable." [View All]

You might kind of like them, but not really LOVE them. They are (like real life people) frequently a mix of good and bad emotionally. Is THAT what you are reacting to?

Some of his films are also kind of "strange feeling" in terms of the sequencing (Mystery Train comes immediately to my mind) because they jump perspectives. One section is from one perspective then it jumps to somebody else. I've noticed that Jarmusch has used that more than once, and while I think it is a neat device, it gets to be a pain if the character list is too long. Did you find that disturbed you?

I loved Down By Law, and want to get a copy of that movie. Did you rent that online or was it from somebody's personal collection?
