Review of Sliding Doors (1998) by Lauren W — 13 Nov 2010
A nice, relaxing movie to watch â" just donâ(TM)t ask me to watch it again. Itâ(TM)s too depressing, both her lives seem to lead at the same point, the only real difference is the man whoâ(TM)s standing (or not standing) at her side at the end of the movie. âSliding Doorsâ? surely develops an interesting concept: what would have happened ifâ¦.
Gwyneth Paltrow nicely plays the role of this broken character who is betrayed by her boyfriend and finds out at the beginning or at the end of the movie â" depending on which story you want to consider. I didnâ(TM)t really appreciate the ending, it was just too exaggerated and I couldnâ(TM)t really understand where the authors meant to lead us, which path wanted us to follow. A part from âwhat would have happened ifâ? what was the message of the movie? Be happy if they fire you, and almost rob you â~cause everything is going to be alright, youâ(TM)ll find out that your boyfriend is betraying you and then youâ(TM)ll finally met the true love of your life? Just come on.
A part from all this, âSliding Doorsâ? is a movie worth watching. As I said, itâ(TM)s an interesting project to explore, just it's way too dreamy in my opinion.
