Turn around in love in a second

Turning on the TV before going to bed last night, I saw Gwyneth Paltrow and John Hannah on VOX. It turned out that Sliding Doors had just started. This is a film in 1998. It is literally translated as "Sliding Door" in Chinese, and it has a little bit of "Two-sided Lover" or "Fate Two Sides View". I remember that in 1999 I rented a VCD from the shop under the second body, and watched it easily and happily. Years later, the actor appeared in front of his eyes while speaking in German, and he realized that there were so many dialogues in this film. I don't understand very much because of my German level, but fortunately, I have memories. I saw Dido's Thank You as the ending song at three o'clock in the morning.

Needless to say, the actress, she won the Oscar for Best Actress by virtue of "Shakespeare in Love". The "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Perfect Murder" performed in collaboration with major players were also my favorite collections of vcd at that time. The most impressive appearance of actor John Hannah was when he played Hugh Grant’s friend Matthew in "Four Weddings and a Funeral". He once recited "You are my southeast, northwest" at the funeral of his gay boyfriend ( Funeral Blues from WH Oden).

A door opens when the barrier is blocked, missed or met. An error of one second can determine a lifetime. In fact, the sliding door is far from originality and originality in the discussion of this major theme, namely the sensitivity of time. It is neither earlier than Kislovsky's "Blind Chance" (1982), nor is it more funny and localized than "Moonlight Treasure Box" by Journey to the West. Kerway's "Lola rennt" (Lola rennt) is experimental and technical.

But still like it. "Sliding Door" only provides two possibilities, and the stories extended by these two possibilities are intertwined with each other. The focus of the film is on love, gains and losses, going round and round to the end, unexpected and unexpected.

The look and feel and thinking brought by "Sliding Door" are completely simple and concise. As a life romance, it has a refreshing rhythm, bright colors and melodious music. Without pretending to be mystery, it still makes people sigh at the time and the blunders of opportunity. The deep audience can still stretch out a very philosophical laziness.

By the way, I read the plate in 1999 and happily lent it to someone who is almost stranger, because he gently said Gwyneth Paltrow's name in very nice English.
