Movies about characters on the run usually involve a linear story, but this one is basically about running and about the way that movie action sequences have a life and logic of their own. I would not want to see a sequel to the film, and at 81 minutes it isn’t a second too short, but what it does, it does cheerfully, with great energy, and very well. Combining the best elements of a mainstream blockbuster with low-budget European sensibilities, Twyker has created breathlessly exhilarating cinema that will satisfy multiplex-goers as well as arthouse lovers, in other words, exactly the sort of movie that Britain ought to be
Run Lola Run (1998) as a film has several interesting and inter-related elements within its storytelling which come together to produce and interesting piece, such as the mise-en-scene of the movie, the butterfly effect and the interesting camera choices used.
Mac and Dennis are driving home. As they are driving they hear the radio from the car that a disease was spreading the city. And immediately had to get a flu shot they were so worried they had to park their car to call their parents, if they were okay. As soon, as they both call they have been reached to voice mail. They called one more time and Mac’s parent were vomiting. Dennie’s parents had really bad headaches.
Berlin is the place that Thomas Tykwer where he filmed he fasts paced movie run Lola run in which it was entirely shot on scene and not in a studio. Berlin is a metropolitan city as we see, but most of the time it's not as crowded as we think. As we see the director emphasis on Manny calling Lola from the red pay phone to let her know that he lost the money on the train. In the movie run Lola run one of the most important scene is on the third take which takes place in the streets of Berlin, there are many more streets more scenes from the street of Berlin some very important scenes like Lola’s fathers office supermarket that Manni tries to rob. Also in the subway where he lost all the money and arrested. In all the scenarios the biggest contrast to Lola is the room that she's a very messy them lying next to each other.
The film was stunning; it is a very well constructed film. The constant changes in camera views are one of the most stunning aspects of the film. It is a very fast paced film and the effective, robot-like soundtrack suits the film immensely. Close ups of this film were very effective, showing the tiniest bit of details, even hands of clocks in the movie ticking closer to midday, or as Lola and Manni see it, Lola’s crucial deadline. The way the running scenes were shot showed much more pace, using inanimate objects behind to create the illusion of pure speed.
This essay will primarily focus on the 1998 independent German film Run Lola Run, directed by Tom Tykwer. Essentially, this analysis will look at how Run Lola Run transgresses the normative boundaries of genre; integrating elements of interactive gameplay into the narrative, like that seen more commonly in videogames. This essay will also look at how the film exhibits postmodernist qualities.
The post-modern society is seen to be one in which we are prevented from connecting to others as we are subjected to the whims of time. Time identifies their ‘destiny’ which serves to illustrate that we are imprisoned inside of a ‘game’ and that the only way to escape is by taking risks and ‘gambling’. The uses of jump cuts, visual symbolism, repetition and camera angles such as overhead shots depicted through the graphical artistry of M.C Escher and his lithograph ‘Relativity’ and by the German film director Tom Tykwer through his cinematic film ‘Run Lola Run’ gives the audience the sense of shock and adrenalin.
This movie has layers upon layers, dealing with romance, war, nobility, sacrifice, indifference, patriotism, and all while serving as a call for America to enter the war to help stop the forces of evil. All these concepts are given the perfect amount of time and explored to the perfect depth. This screenplay also deserves credit for its storytelling. It is so precise and economical that not a single scene, nor indeed a single shot, is wasted.
Analysis of German Film "Run Lola Run" 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. It is then played out one last time. After the first and second sequences, there is a red hued, narrative bridge.
On the TV show, The Movie Show, David Stratton described the film as a “bold and timely film about the stolen generations.” The film is so highly rated for its amazing plot, the well-used mise en scene and the film techniques including the camera work and sound.
The film then releases the full fury of what corrupt politicians can do to a truthful man. The plot of the film will grab the viewer within the first five minutes and will not let go until the astonishing end. Even though this type of thing is implausible it's still very funny and unique in its own way. The acting was superb! James Stewart will always represent the good guy trying to make his way
Distincively visual refers to the elements of charcterisation, dialogue,music, dramatic imagery, symbolism and sets the deliberate constructions that shape the distinctly visual and affect an audience's response. This concept is furthur explored with the film Run Lola Run directed by Tom Tykwer who employs vivid viscereal imagery to demonstrate basic elements of human nature, the film demonstrate the features of human naure, a similar approach also displayed within the artwork “The Scream” by artist Edvard Munch. Both composers use their mediums as a way of reaching out into the world, the themes they chose are not only relevant to themselves but also to the wider audience, in using images they have conveyed their message in away that otherwise
“The Maze Runner” is one of the movies that I can watch over and over again without getting sick of it. The excellent performance of some actors and the mystery of the maze are enough to keep the audience interested throughout the movie. However, the music and some aspects of movie are disappointing. The film will look very familiar if you have watched “The Hunger Games” or “Divergent”. “The Maze Runner” is a truly beautiful representation of young adult novel adaptation. It is based on the first novel in James Dashner’s popular trilogy. The director has done a great job of catching what was important in the novel: the plot, the mystery, and the characters. If you are thinking of watching a typical young adult movie, this one is not right
Overall, the film isn’t half as epic as Emmerich’s previous. blockbusters or half as entertaining. The dialogues are about as interesting as watching paint dry and the bland characters have about as much depth as a puddle in the street! The storyline isn’t exactly. deep, introspective stuff, either.
...n (Director) mistakenly seems to believe can carry the whole film. On the strength "based on a true story", he has rejected attention-grabbing characters, an imaginative plot, and unforgettable villains.
...movie that I fell in love with. But most of all I love how the story line is a great overlap into the cinematically engaging movie. There is a great use of camera, timing, shots and story line that are portrayed in this movie without being too overwhelming. This allows the audience to relax during the movie and just take in the scenes as a story from reality. To this day, and even still doing this paper I still come to find different aspects of the movie that I missed the previous times I have watched it.
