Run Lola Run!



wow. i watched this a while ago. but i think i can aptly remember the important aspects of this film. i felt like this film was more a lesson than it was a story. eventually what lola had to do became irrelevant but how she did it was what was important. i mean i know this statement i am about to make is obvious, but that still does not take away from its relevance. once you do something it is done. in real life there is no way to go back in time and fix what you already screwed up. lola could, but thats because she was in some trippy movie that really made no sense in terms of reality. but in that sense this film was beautiful. it would be so ideal to be able to back in time once you realized you screwed up really badly. there are so many countless times in my life that i wish i could have changed things, even if it was just one thing that lasted the span of a second or two. this movie kind of taught me the importance of understanding your decisions and the weight of them and why you make them and all of that unfortunate stuff. i wonder whether or not lola was capable to remembering every little event of the past episodes. she obviously remembered what not to do, but did she remember the little details, like the fact of her father's affair and the fact that she was not his daughter. i am not sure if there really is a way to determine this. but it is an interesting consideration. aside from the lessons to be learned from this beautiful german film, the cinematography was wonderful. it was really original. i began to seek the differences in the shots each time she re-did her actions of the day. it was just so interesting, and i would dare to say symbolic, the way each sequence of events was shot. it was very appealing. i would love to know the directors thoughts as he created this film. i am curious to know what his personal thoughts on the issues i discussed above are. i enjoy the music choices made in this movie. all the peculiar techno stuff was very fitting and interesting. the way lola appeared was very interesting. you have to wonder why she has wild bright red hair. it is odd but at the same time it is appealing and familiar.
