Review of Sliding Doors (1998) by Cecilia C — 13 Mar 2009
Did you ever see a car accident on your way home from work and think?could that have been me if I had caught that elevator I missed? Well, this film asks a question like that?how does a split second in the life of a London woman alter her existence forever? The movie then plays out two scenarios?one with her making a train and one with her just missing it.
From that moment in time and the story splits in two, this film becomes an excellent example of how life, love, happiness, etc. can all change on a dime. Gwyneth Paltrow plays the woman here?and she?s never been better?she captures the perfect combination of innocence and naïve that is required to play the role of a woman whose life hinges a moment in time.
Not as metaphysical as it sounds...this one is a good film for all romantics, as well as people who?ve ever thought??if only I?d made that train??
