SLIDING DOORS

(The author deletes a few hundred words here.)


In my impression, "Blind Hits" and "Lola Run" are all three-paragraph narratives, but "Sliding Door" is a parallel deconstructed narrative. Like a small sliding door, it is the starting point of two different life encounters.


We often miss a lot of things, we never take it to heart, maybe the known opportunity is your most insignificant choice, and if you miss a small door, you may never be able to enter the world on the other side. If you're lucky, like Helen in "The Sliding Door", you can retrieve the door from the starting point and choose it again. But real life is hard to say.

    Similar movies always remind people of the concept of parallel universes. If one of me is dead, there must be another me alive. If this me is in pain, there must be another me who is happy. Fate is a random probability.

    There is a taste of two flowers, every moment will produce countless parallel universes, deceptions; go left, go right, staggered life. Finally DIdo's song is very suitable for this movie.
