On Sliding Doors and Coherence

The story itself doesn't have much to say, what makes me want to say more is about the setting of the sliding door in the film, two worlds, two lives, and two endings.

The famous brain-burning film "The Night Comet" is actually an enlarged version of this idea and a more comprehensive display, and it is not only the expansion of a choice, but when faced with each choice, it will be divided into Different parallel spaces. The difference between a branch and a tree.

The original title of Shan Wenxu is "Blue, Another Blue", and the story described is the same as this film. When the heroine is being swayed by two different men, she chooses different people, and these two are different. The choice of continuation of different lives, when these two different lives collide, the story begins to twist.

Of course, there is no such parallel space in real life, and there is no so-called regret medicine. Many times, through these films and novels, we can see more of the same helplessness in different endings.

The first Helen in the film caught up with the car, caught her in bed, and met a new love affair;
the second Helen in the film did not catch up with the car and was fooled. After an unexpected pregnancy, she found her boyfriend pedaling on two boats. Unexpectedly, she had an accidental miscarriage, and in the end she still broke up as the ending, and it is also possible to meet a new relationship.

so what?
It is impossible for us to follow everything in life. When faced with a choice, we make decisions based more on the environment, feelings, and even listening to the opinions of others. We are not from the perspective of God, and we cannot know whether the choice of the ending is. To maximize the benefits, it is impossible to know whether this path will be wrong or wrong, but what?

Just like the story itself, although it is a different route, it seems that the second Helen is even more pitiful. He was insulted by a rival, but she was pregnant but miscarried. Who knows that these experiences will not bring good results to her in the future?

    It really integrates all the bloody plots, and in the end, I am really afraid of losing my memory. I watched it several times before I finished it. The rhythm is too slow, the plot of the derailment is almost unimaginative, and the ending lacks a heartwarming thing, too much like a sketch study. Two advantages, the dislocation of parallel time and space is still trying to speak well, and the water is really beautiful.

    Maybe, no, maybe, fate is sometimes better than expected~ I have my own arrangements, don't expect, hurry up~
