Page "Parallel universe (fiction)" Paragraph 69
from
Wikipedia
Some films present parallel realities that are actually different contrasting versions of the narrative itself.
Commonly this motif is presented as different points of view revolving around a central ( but sometimes unknowable ) " truth ", the seminal example being Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon.
Conversely, often in film noir and crime dramas, the alternative narrative is a fiction created by a central character, intentionally — as in The Usual Suspects — or unintentionally — as in Angel Heart.
Less often, the alternative narratives are given equal weight in the story, making them truly alternative universes, such as in the German film Run Lola Run, the short-lived British West End musical Our House and the British film Sliding Doors.
