But, why is it called "Short Cuts"?
Achilles absent was Achilles still.
-Homer
I assumed the title is because the movie is just a series of short vignettes of the lives of all these interconnected people.
You must be the change you seek in the world. -- Gandhi
Because it's based on the book SHORT CUTS by Raymond Carver. The book is a collection of short stories.

THE PROPOSITION
No, the collection of stories was published because of the movie. All those stories had previously been published years earlier. I've always thought the movie was titled as such because Carver was famous for writing short slices of lives.
