Eventually all the characters end up in the same place at the same time in a violent climax. But, although these narratives drive their characters to a single point in space and time, they never seem to converge thematically. Where the rain of frogs at the end of the movie Magnolia came on like a cathartic, physical manifestation of all the character's exploding emotions, the big payoff...
