The title sliding doors has a deep metaphor. There are misses, accidents, encounters, and regrets. It also indicates that the heroine walks back and forth between two relationships, overlapping between joy and sorrow. In essence, the two relationships are still different. In the first paragraph, the feelings of an extremely entangled writer are obviously with a kind of blind worship of innocence and trust. This can be seen from the shape-long hair shawl, clear eyes, humble restaurant waiter. With the independence of the heroine in the second part of the relationship, the success of the career appears to be more cautious and cautious, but the hurt is even deeper. In contrast, the male protagonist of two relationships. An indecisive, unclear relationship with his ex-girlfriend. Another shy and sensitive, belongs to the loser in the marriage, but lies are their shield. This makes people question whether lies are the basis of love.
The whole film is a two-stage parallel editing, which fits the theme very well and the connection is very smooth. And the end of the intersection of the two paragraphs is also very interesting. While discovering her boyfriend's lame lie, she stumbled and fell down the stairs in the entanglement but survived, but lost her child. On the other side, he cried for joy when he misunderstood his boyfriend, but died in a car accident. The director's arrangement is to die in the back and wake up in the front. This ending is also a coincidence at the beginning and points to the repetition of Helen's love, giving a natural transition to the sad ending.
It is worth mentioning that Dido's thorough voice sounded at the end of the film—thank you. A touch of sadness makes people think that love is a momentary thing, and sorrow and joy can grow no matter where it is. As long as it has been good enough, even if the tears are already in your eyes when you get up to say goodbye, when you slide to the next section, you will gently say thank you.
