Distinctive Images In Run Lola Run

A composer can create images dependant on the form of the language of texts to shape a responders understanding of the ideas and themes prompted by people and their experiences. The German film, ‘Run Lola Run’ written and directed by Tom Tykwer, focuses on the experiences of the protagonist Lola to explore the themes of the inevitable force of time, and the issue of freewill verses determinism. Similarly, Dorothea Mackellar, in her poem ‘My Country’, relies on her experiences of the Australian landscape to convey her love and passion for the country using the language of the distinctive visual.

The contrast of the large truck with the visually smaller Lola is used to show how close she came to being destroyed by this machine. This works to emphasise how luck gave her another chance to live and it was really because of chance that she is able to continue with her journey. This is similar to many occurrences in life such as death occurrences which people have no explanation for besides luck and chance. Another technique used is a long-distance shot of Lola in front of the big truck with the casino presents her a great opportunity to fulfil her journey to get the money she needs. This is used to show how chance is not always bad but may also lead to opportunities that will be beneficial in the future. Continuing on with the notion of chance and luck, Lola ends up at the casino and is completely oblivious on how to gamble. By chance again, she walks to a roulette table and bets on the number 20. The close-up shot of the roulette table, spinning and coming to a stop shows suspense when Lola was about to win. This works to place importance on the actual object of chance which in the real world is all casino games. The film is showing how just like Lola’s life afterwards depends on the small play of chance, many of our live depend on other games of chance. Life is essentially a ‘game’ of chance which affects an individual’s personal fate through our own actions as well as others.

Run Lola Run, is a German film about a twenty-something woman (Lola) who has 20 minutes to find $100,000 or her love (Manni) will be killed. The search for the money is played through once with a fatal ending and one would think the movie was over but then it is shown again as if it had happened ten seconds later and changed everything.

Tom Tykwer’s Run Lola Run (1998) is truly a brilliant film. It is very seldom that a film manages to combine the high pace of an action thriller and a deep philosophical subtext without botching it, but Run Lola Run does an excellent job at striking a balance between both. Tackling the very abstract and philosophical concepts of chance and cause-effect, Run Lola Run is truly a modern foreign classic. Tykwer manages to postulate one simple theory through the film, that the simplest of choices can completely change everything. The film is supported by stellar performances from Franka Potente and Moritz Bleibtreu as the protagonist Lola and her boyfriend, Manni. The film’s use of cinematography to add to the narrative, clever use of the aspects of mise-en-scene and explosively-paced soundtrack add a whole new dimension to this film. One of the few German films to be both a critical and commercial success, Run Lola Run is a smart and stimulating film, which demands active watching in order to understand fully. I will now analyze the film comprehensively using three main parameters; the mise-en-scene, the cinematography and the sound.
