Narrative Techniques

I think that there are a lot of narrative technigues used in 'Run Lola Run', such as the split screen (which I dont like as it doesent look good or realistic) and the red filtered dream sequences. The dream sequences are two big metaphors. A red filter is used which stands for;
- love
- passion
- emotion
- death
- blood
The dream sequences are used as links from the previous sequence to the next.

The director has a very distinctive style and it is very unconventional

Close reading of 'Run Lola Run'

There is a good use of different medias in 'Run Lola Run' and I think its made realy well, I just hate the storyline!
A good story should have morals.
It should be able to inspire the viewer or at least entertain them by making them laugh or cry.
'Run Lola Run' did none of this, it dident even have a moral! It was pointless.

Run Lola Run

We finished watching 'Run Lola Run' today and though the second half was better, I was still realy bored. I dident like the plot or the characters (they were both phsyco criminals).
I thought the different use of media was pretty cool, though I dident realy enjoy it for a movie, it would proberly be better in a documentry or something.
I think Mrs Cleary chose to show us this film because its her favourite movie (??) and because the plot does deal with fate, albeit in a wierd, messed up way.
I realy dont want to watch it again!

Run Lola Run

I watched a movie in English called 'Run Lola Run'
I thought it was stupid and too confusing with a confusing plot and characters AND it was in German! I had no problem with reading the subtitles but I still think its wierd that we watched a German movie in English class... Im sure there are movies in English that deal with fate in a far more clear, interesting and better way.
So far the characters are realy unlikeable! Lola is selfish and rather stupid and looks like a hobo while her boyfriend (the main reason I think shes an idiot) is a criminal!
