Sliding Doors

Loved the film, loved the concept. Well, perhaps I loved the concept more than the actual acting.

I'm intrigued by the idea that something can get in your way and suddenly you are on a different path into the future. The idea that there are many parallel lives happening, and like a train changing track, you can divert from one to another. On could lead to disaster, the other leads to great things.

This morning I was in a playful mood for some reason - I know this is hard to believe - and watched my reflection in the bathroom mirror skip across the (sliding !) doors of the bathroom cabinet. It created two characters, perhaps two lives - what was going to happen to each of them today ? I could get my eyes pointing in different positions, and create two people, and pondered which one I wanted to be for the day. Wasn't it lucky that I became one person again by the time I got into the car.

Just don't comment on the bags under my eyes or the lack of shaving. This was first thing in the morning you know.

  1. Proportions look like my Ikea cabinet! This is a neat idea, I might have a go myself.....Might try before and after, bleary-eyed and unshaven, versus...well, clean and handsome of course!
