Life can't be repeated in the end! ——

Helen was ransacked by the company, and she was discouraged and missed seeing her boyfriend committing adultery. Her life remained the same, and her life was gray; and if she caught the subway that day, what would her life be like? How? After a few backward shots, Helen walked down the stairs in frustration, and fortunately stepped into the carriage. He met James and his life began to change two times. Although she was sad for a while and broke up with her boyfriend, the sun is always shining after the storm. After meeting James, life has become more colorful and more energetic. The difference between the two is only in the sliding door of the subway!

Destiny & Fate
Time is like an arrow, life is like a fierce car, Mercedes-Benz moves forward without going backwards, and no one knows what it will be like if it starts again? No wonder there was a kind of resurrection in ancient times, and people expect to see a different life. Qi Lei experimented with his body in "Extremely Cold" and saw that after death, it was as usual, but he died in the end. Fate can't be joking, it is often the sliding door that waits. Perhaps we can think that the sliding door is a turning point in Helen's life journey, and life becomes extremely beautiful once he catches up with it. But in the end, the facts cannot be repeated. How does Helen, who has not caught up with the subway and worked as a bread delivery waiter, knows his life behind the door? At most, she imagined what would happen if we entered the subway, just like ordinary people like us. If we were more serious at the beginning, she would be sent to a good university; if she was kinder to her at the beginning, she would become very happy now; if not The excitement of that night, maybe there is no realization of my own life individual! From the perspective of the world, if it were not for the domineering and domineering of the United States, his twin towers would not collapse. If the twin towers were there, Jackie Chan’s "Tuxedo" might have more scenes there, and the Taliban might have existed for a few more years. There is no need for the tension in Iraq to rise so quickly... Everything only exists in if, life is not an AB drama, it can't be restarted! Therefore, I can only study carefully and take a good school, so I can only be alone. That's why the September 11 incident occurred, and everyone saw Jackie Chan's exhausted fight in the "Tuxedo". There is nothing in this world. In an endless train, unless it stops, it will always run. The scenery on the road is beautiful and ugly. Don't regret it when you appreciate it yourself.
The inevitability in accident, the progress of the general trend can only exist in the eternal argument in the philosophy books, who can stand the length of time to prove the inevitable if it is really applied to the individual? Helen and James eventually met in an elevator, which is inevitable, but after all, what Helen has paid is months of emotional troubles, low career and mental torture, and misfortunes such as abortion! Destiny is certain, but fate has its ups and downs. Is it a life experience? It's a super joke made by cruel life to fate!

Change editing
The proposition of impermanence has long been Kijelovsky's "Blind Hit and Wrong Collision", and in recent years there has been "Lola Run". Especially in "Run Lola Run", a kind of life's many choices, the thought of not resuming is overflowing in it. The director obviously divided the whole movie into three sections. At the same time, until the end of each section, the failure was repeated. The director did not twist the three sections together, and arranged the three sections according to the cause, the passage, and the structure of the incident. The life display of passersby encountered in each paragraph is also compared with the audience's viewing and recalling method. Separately, it is a skit. "Sliding Door" is different. The director staggered the two timelines and edited the events at the same time in the drama. Here, Helen got on the train and met James, and Helen, who had not got on the train, got to the ground and encountered a robbery, and then went back. On the subway, the two narrative stories are divided into many small pieces based on time, and then stitched together, allowing the audience to quickly compare them. Of course, sometimes because the scenes and characters are the same, there will inevitably be a sense of confusion, but this method of quickly showing the characters encountered in different situations does effectively promote the excitement of the story to the end-what is the difference between the two, just a door Did Helen change?
Looking at the editing, in "Pulp Fiction", Quentin divides the entire narrative into several paragraphs, first explains the family, and then arranges the virtual and real sections according to the incident characters to break the unity of time, giving people a refreshing feeling ; And for the multi-national co-operated film "Heavy Rain is Coming", the director’s narrative method is circular. The head and tail are connected. Time does not advance, and it is always in this whirlpool. Let’s look at "Lola Run" and "Sliding Door". 〉This kind of large-frame editing changes the traditional and classical narrative aesthetics of movies, and the post-modern way of frequency posting, reconstructing classics, and re-establishing narrative standards. Perhaps this will be a major trend in the development of modern movies.

Actually nothing
Finally, I will watch this movie. It’s ridiculous that Gwyneth is doing bakery delivery. The image of the poor boyfriend is a comparison with James. Everyone will choose the handsome and handsome James, because there is no choice in the movie. Just for the audience to compare these two characters, James has nothing worthy of nostalgia besides being funny in the play. Just like this movie, except for the theme that I want to discuss, the movie is a light comedy of love, with a strong flavor of British sketches. Maybe the movie itself shouldn't be tiring for people to watch, just a little thought is enough...

    I really don't understand that the translation of this double-sided lover has something to do with the movie. Hong Kong and Taiwan’s literal translations of movies based on associations have always been flattering. In contrast, they still prefer the literal translation method of the mainland, which is very good. The movie says that if you lose your horse, you know it's not a blessing, don't be proud, don't be frustrated, living in the moment and cherishing your eyes is the kingly way!
