She doesn't, um, project quality traits in that movie, and yet he's DEVOTED.<BR/><BR/>I think OFTEN of "splitting the future" moments. But I don't think any of it is destined. It's the randomness of it I find so upsetting: that one false move could completely change things for the worse. I understand why people want to believe in destiny.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879347314635530398.post-11200291359737142782009-04-08T07:41:00.000-07:002009-04-08T07:41:00.000-07:00What was so great about Sliding Doors was that the...What was so great about Sliding Doors was that the earth-changing thing was such a minor, overlooked event! Who knows what will change our lives forever?!

And that scene in Four Weddings and a Funeral brings me to tears every single time.<BR/><BR/>This is a great post. I waver between thinking that some things happen for a reason and thinking that everything is random. I never get very far with those lines of thought before I'm flat on my face in confusion.lisahgoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158660223296807317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879347314635530398.post-12452945215164285132009-04-07T20:33:00.000-07:002009-04-07T20:33:00.000-07:00I loved Hannah's performance in Sliding Doors. an...I loved Hannah's performance in Sliding Doors. and it was a great movie. One of the few movies I've purchased. It plays out that question we all contemplate from time to time. <BR/><BR/>As for your question, I'd have to say no. I don't believe in destiny. I think of myself as a romantic, but I guess I'm a logic bound romantic. Life is random and so never boring or predictable.shrink on the couchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13271891110211081990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879347314635530398.post-59498277056283334132009-04-07T15:34:00.000-07:002009-04-07T15:34:00.000-07:00That scene from Four Weddings is SO memorable, isn...That scene from Four Weddings is SO memorable, isn't it? I knew what you were referring to the second that I read "Stop all the clocks . . ."<BR/><BR/>As for alternative realities, or roads not taken, I often think about how nearly I avoided meeting my husband -- blind date; had just ended a long-term relationship, and didn't really want a new one. His English-ness decided it! And that brings me to John Hannah -- who has sweet droopy eyes.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879347314635530398.post-90234030955817507712009-04-07T14:23:00.000-07:002009-04-07T14:23:00.000-07:00The bit you posted from Four Weddings gets me EVER...The bit you posted from Four Weddings gets me EVERY TIME.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes, I feel a little like I DO live in more than one reality; like somewhere, a little bit of my soul split off and took a different course and, if I'm still and quiet, I can hear the lessons it's learned transmitted back to me.Mrs. Chilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814787474739856911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879347314635530398.post-62320265618162843452009-04-07T08:36:00.000-07:002009-04-07T08:36:00.000-07:00I know you would never lie to me, sweet Lisa!
