Analysis Of Run Lola Run

Run Lola Run is a German thriller film written and directed by Tom Tykwer in 1998. The main casts are Franka Potente as Lola and Moritz Bleibtreu as Manni. The plot summarized into one line is that Lola has to get 100,000 marks within twenty minutes to save her boyfriend, Manni.

“Lola runs in three experiments or 20-minute rounds – all in an attempt at continuity. In “theory” she must find 100,000 DM with which to save her boyfriend, Manni, who in his attempt to prove himself to several members of organised crime, acts as a courier for their cash and then proceeds to lose it on Berlin’s U-Bahn. And Lola runs. She runs in three 20-minute cycles or rounds. In each the ends are changed even though she encounters the same bodies and forces along the way; however, in this game on the Butterfly Effect, each round reaches out to several virtual futures because of the slightest modulation of time from run to run. The game is rebooted but the game remembers.” (Buckland, 2009)

Beginning-middle-end, she gets three chances, the last one is the right one, she looks at the audience in the end and acknowledges it 's all been a game... I mean, this is very much in the spirit of classical cinema.”
