Run Lola Run was an interesting German film. It was not a film I would personally recommend to a friend or a film I would watch again. However, the film did have a clever and interesting concept. The concept of this film was to show that every second in our life counts, and that the decisions we make in life affect not only ourselves but the people around us.
In Run Lola Run, there is a couple who were involved with a drug deal. The boyfriend lost the money he was suppose to give to the drug lords, and called his girlfriend, Lola for help. She had twenty minutes to come up with 100,000 (German) dollars. In this film it showed numerous ways that she had recieved the money and only one way was the 'right' way. It was just interesting to see how many decisions that she made affected the future and everyone she was surrounded by.
I think this film had a lot of potential, but the style of directing was what lost its audience. I was interested in the type of music it continued to play over and over again. I also wasn't fond of the random cartoon clips that this film also displayed in random sections. In all, this film did show the local side of Germany that many of us aren't aware of. It showed different people and different building that all make up an average city in Germany.
