Tykwer's "Run Lola Run"

Tykwer's "Run Lola Run" was a very interesting and uniquely produced movie. Throughout the movie, the main character Lola is trapped reliving the same event over and over without realizing it, until the outcome is good. Each time the day is reset, the goal is the same, but how Lola and Manni act out the day and what choices they make, affect themselves and other people. The actions in the beginning determine the outcome and later decisions. So always try to make good choices, you may never know how they affect your future.

Choices were a big influence in the movie. When Lola went to get money from her dad, depending on what she saw and her; or how he got rid of her influenced how she reacted. Or just the little things to random people, how that impacted their life down the road.

In some parts, you could see that the males in the movies where protecting the females, or when Lola robbed the bank the first time the cops didn’t see her as a threat because she was female.

The visual effects were done well with the plot of the story, and the background music setting the mood of the next scene. Either with slow dramatic music implanting in our minds will she make it with seconds remaining; or fast pace music as Lola first starts running out of her house. Time is very important each second is the balance of life and death.

And when all the semi-correct choices were put together and fairy-tale ending appeared. The couple in love survived through their peril-less journey and will live “happily” ever after.
