Every choice has flaws

We always feel that the path we didn’t choose might be better, and the person we didn’t choose might be better, but if we have the opportunity to stand in our sliding door and take a look at ourselves on both paths, It may feel the same, every journey will have beautiful scenery and hard experience, we can't just take the former.
Every detail will affect the whole life in the future. We are always not satisfied with what we get now. We always want to exchange the greatest happiness for the smallest price, so we prefer the expression "if...then...", if I don't If I go to a bar, my phone will not be lost. If I had chosen another major, I might have a brighter future today. If I had
not been so self-willed, it might be me who walks the red carpet with someone... In reality There are no ifs, so we are always fantasizing, so we are always living one life, thinking about another life, those landscapes elsewhere, become our meditation in silence.
So we can see that many movies express different stories and different endings due to different choices. Such as "Butterfly Effect", such as "Lola Run", such as "Ana and Ana".
Recently, a similar movie "Sliding Door" from more than two years ago was dug out. Unlike other similar films, "Sliding Door" deliberately avoids people's subjective initiative, does not see the heroine's indecision standing at the intersection of life, nor does she see her efforts to change her life. The split in the
story . A subway door separates two worlds, creating two completely different lives for the heroine, different sweet and sour. We always feel that the path we didn’t choose might be better, and the person we didn’t choose might be better, but if we have the opportunity to stand in our sliding door and take a look at ourselves on both paths, It may feel the
same, every journey will have beautiful scenery and hard experience, we can't just take the former.
Sour and bitter. At the end of the story, it is a kind of subconscious meeting. After reading it, friends ask, what do you mean, do you want to say that different processes will eventually lead to the same ending? Fate? Anti-butterfly effect? I think it's better to look at its metaphor a little more shallowly. The sliding door changed the heroine's feelings and life, but as a bystander, I have to admit that when I stood in the middle of the sliding door and watched two stories go on at the same time, neither of them was what I wanted to choose, because , Both paths are not complete, and both relationships have regrets. So think about it the other way around, so it’s really useless to think about the scenery elsewhere. No matter what we have experienced, no matter how sad we feel, we should not easily regret it.

    Gwyneth Paltrow was the first woman after Xu Xian who made me feel that I could not be ugly without cutting my bones... and when I was a child, I always thought that British beauties must be square-faced and breastless [="=]

    The structure is not exquisite, and the narrative technique has a lot of room for improvement, at least it can use picture-in-picture. Gwyneth is getting old so fast. After he was not yet sealed, he looks like an old woman now, in his early forties, right? The Hong Kong version of the translated name is very good, "Fate on Both Sides", just a few seconds away, life is very different. However, at the end of the movie, it came back again.
