Run Lola Run Questions

1. When Lola gets the phone call and we see it from her perspective. The dramatic irony of seing the truth of the affair helps us to identify with Lola's anger. The scenes where she's talking to Manni in bed, break in the action, slow, no sound, red.
2. I would go back to any time when I screwed up and change things so that I didn't screw up.
3. The film supports the claim that love can do anything. The overall theme is that love makes people do crazy things, like rob a bank and run across the city. The bank guard is either lusting after her or he's the kind old man.
4. The clocks emphasize the time restraint placed on Lola. Credit sequence, asks lady for the time, dad's office, Manni looks at the clock before going in, when she gets the call in her apartment.
Glass: 1st story, glass unbroken, 2nd story broken, 3rd story unbroken. Foreshadows her emotions. Glass at the supermarket. When she screams and the glass breaks. Shows her desperation to save the one she loves.
5. Business district, clean and busy, chaos, Lola is looked down upon by older generation. Probably could have happened in a different city, but Lola would have to know the area well.
6. Shows that she's rebellious, doesn't want to fit in. She's the only one wearing bright colors so she stands out more. Rebelling against her parent's generation.
7. In the actions scenes there are tracking shots to show speed. In the hold-up, they use cross-cutting
