That's not the way they are in the real world...that's just a 
half-silvered mirror. This is a half-silvered mirror with a filtering 
layer on the less reflective side. Both sides are equally bright in this 
case...having the viewing side be darker makes the effect stronger, but 
is not necessary. This is a fairly accurate way to model real-world 
one-way mirrors.
