Run Lola Run begins with the following questions, which I would like to pose to you “Who are we?”, “Where do we come from?”, “Where are we going?”, whilst these existential questions are extremely difficult to answer individually, T.S Elliot successfully conveys his thoughts of these life questions through the quote “We shall not cease from exploration…and the end of our exploring will be to arrive where we started…and know the place for the first time”. Continue to ponder these questions while…
The distinctively visual represented in ‘Run Lola Run’ (1998) by Tom Tykwer and ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ (2012) by Christopher Nolan are significantly strong as distinct images are constantly on the screen to create a suspenseful and thrilling film.

In this essay, i will be focusing on the middle section of Tom Tykwer’s Run Lola Run (Lola Rennt, 1998) starting at the bank where Lola takes her father hostage, demanding 100,000 Marks from the cashier, to the post death scene of Manni (45 minutes to 53 minutes).

The Man with a Movie Camera, a 1929 silent film by Dziga Vertov, illustrates the typical life of an average citizen in the city.

Vertov uses editing, specifically rhythm and continuity, along with cinematography, to convey the theme that life has two sides, birth and death, marriage and divorce, and lastly the young and old.…
1. The theme major theme running throughout Run Lola Run was the idea of multiple outcomes depending on minor changes made by the characters. This idea can be found within the butterfly/domino effect. In terms of tone, the movie was all over the place. It ranged from comedic, to dramatic, to everything in between. The purpose of this decision was to give the audience whiplash at first and then gradually acclimate them to the characters, aesthetic, and plot points within the movie. 2. At the…

In this film, Lola, the main character, receives a phone call from her boyfriend Manni who has lost one hundred-thousand German marks. If he does not find…
Good afternoon my fellow students and teachers, today I’ll be analysing and demonstrating to you how Tom Tykwer’s Run Lola Run and Salvador Dali’s The Persistence of Memory, use the distinctively visual to convey and enhance the audiences perception of their ideas. Well Let’s get into it. In Tom Tykwer post-modernist film Run Lola Run, the main themes are the power of time and the amplifying effects of minor changes, both of these concepts are fundamental throughout the whole movie. The opening…
