A British-American movie written and directed by Peter Howitt starring Gwyneth Paltrow. The storyline begins with Helen Quilley, played by Paltrow, losing her public relations job and rushes to catch a train on the London underground. This is where the two parallel universes are introduced. Each revolve around the outcome of catching the train or not catching the train and the events that unfold because of this.

What we like

  • We see the development of strikingly two different people that seem to emerge from their circumstances.  However, in the closing we are giving bait as to whether circumstances really make us or is it the path of our destiny to find our way regardless.

Soul experience

  • Many of us have thought of what it would be like to have made a different choice, or missed an appointment etc where we would be now?  The fact is we make so many decisions throughout the day that could possibly alter so many outcomes.  The interesting thing to consider is whether these finer decisions actually effect your core or final destination, your destiny?  Hard to say, isn’t it?
  • We heard recently of a true story of a couple who loved each other in their early years but were separated by well-meaning parents.  The couple separated and went on with their own lives. Marrying other partners, having children, grandchildren and then both of the them outliving their partners.   Many years after, you may say a life time, they met by accident and have reunited once again. 

To reflect on

  • James:  Everything happens for the best. You’ll never know if you don’t try.
