Run Lola Run

Lola was the real hero in the movie. There was complete devotion on her part as she told him to jot do anything, she would come up with a plan to get him out of the fix he was in. She runs everywhere for him to try and get the amount that he needs by 12. Manni relys on her though he does try to fix it without her. They both thought of each other before they die. They seem to go back to a significant moment in their relationship where they question the love and faithfulness of each other to the other.

The music in the movie seems to go with the purpose of why Lola is running. The lyrics kind of match it, even though I don't remember what they were I know I remember watching it I though there was a little irony in the words to the song. The sounds like the ticking of the clock signify a point inthe movie. The ticking let us know that there was not a lot of time for Lola or Manni, and the speed change showed a change in the urgency of the scene.

It seems that they got to retry getting the money over and over until they got it right. There was small significant changes like the scene with the boy and the dog on the staircase, the boy on the bike, the lady pushing the stroller, the guy in the car and with her father. The first change in beginning set off the rest of I changing the timing of everything and how it ended up in the end. I mean third times the charm and they seem to get it right not only with getting the money from the bum but also winning money for themselves.

They both seem to grow as characters and each realizing the significance if the other like when they die or are about to and it goes red. The color red to me means that they are dying and it's their last thoughts are their worst fears or something that they had wanted resolved and didn't or something that is happening that they never thought would. Each were concerned with what would happen if the other died, if they would love or remember ten, remain faithful to them. Lola as a person evolves from being helpless and crying for herself and resulting in following in Manni's plan and ending in getting shot; she comes out at the end with becoming resourceful and getting the money in a legal way. She also stands up to her father sort of in the second time around though the last one she didn't get a chance as he died in the end and left before she could catch him with his lover. Manni grows a little too to me, with not rushing to rob the store in the end but catching the bum and getting the money to his friend.

I found it interesting about the previews of what happened to the people Lola runs into in the movie and how it changes everytime she makes a change. I don't know the significance of it but I found it interesting though I don't know the reason why it is there in the movie. And the fairy tale part was to me the way they got to redo the way the ending happened, and it ended up that neither died and both gained wealth and neither were harmed physically or emotionally. A happy ending as all fairy tales have to have.
