Fantastic movie. Talks about families, people and the social dysfuction in its various forms. Aptly portrays the characterization and the predisposition and the natural tendencies of those characters they are conveying in the movie. The ending is not a right in itself and shows a frustrated young fellow assasinating the singer. Overall the plot is good, enjoyed the charecterization, and more importantly how the movie is ended is peculiar for various reasons. As Robert Altman said it himself How can you expect a person to stand when he does not have legs. :)
