He asks her, "What if I die one day?" She replies, "Impossible, I'll find a way." "Lola Run" tells a crazy love story - underworld Manny calls his own His girlfriend, Lola, lost 100,000 marks. After 20 minutes, if the 100,000 marks are not returned, he will be executed by the underworld boss. In order to get the 100,000 marks and rescue Manny, Lola ran desperately for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, Manny keeps calling and borrowing money from the phone booth.
The way the story is presented is very appealing to the audience - Lola is like a game on the computer, repeating the running route three times, the first time Lola ran without borrowing money, she and Manny robbed the supermarket, Lola was killed by the police; the second time Lola ran He grabbed the money at the bank, but Manny was killed by an ambulance; the third run, Lola won 100,000 marks in the casino, and at the same time found Manny's lost money, and the two became rich. Every change in the details of her run will have a fatal impact on the final story, so the final result of each run is different, until the third time, she successfully rescued her boyfriend. In the middle of the three runs, the dialogue between Lola and Manny on the bed is connected in series. The color tone of the picture is dark red, and the connection is natural.
The film adopts a loop-type casing structure and has two narrative levels. One is the perspective of Lola himself during the running process, and the other is the encounters of different characters other than Lola that the audience sees, such as stealing a bicycle and encountering Lola who wants to sell the bicycle. For her boys, like the woman pushing the stroller that Lola hits around the corner, and so on, it provokes the audience to think with the ingenious weaving of the narrative and the uncertainty created by time loops. By constantly setting foreshadowing and showing small details, it highlights the "butterfly effect", that is, the importance of every small choice in life; it also breaks through the brave theme of love and improves the film's expression on the theme - People's unknown about life and uncertainty about the future, many accidents in life are actually inevitable. At the same time, in the first two runs, Lola and her boyfriend used violent methods such as robbery, but they were unsuccessful, but the third time they put down their guns and successfully got the money, it also conveyed to us that violence cannot solve the fundamental problem, and we must fundamentally Resolve conflicting thoughts. The film uses the theory of polyphony, although only three different processes and three very different results of Lola's running are shown in the film. But the theoretical "unfinishedness" tells us that in fact, this story has no ending, and it is very likely that Lola will run many times.
As far as the film's music is concerned, the heavy metal music symbolizes Lola's inner voice as she runs. "Lola Run" uses almost all rhythmic drum beats and electronic music of metal instruments to set off the tense atmosphere of "run" throughout the action, and it can even be regarded as a film that conveys a certain intention and formal beauty MV, because the virtual animation scenes and fragmented image language are sufficient in the film. But at the end of the first story, that is, when Lola and her boyfriend ran out with money bags after robbing the supermarket successfully, the rock-style music came to an abrupt end and a melodious, lazy, sweet voice appeared, and the two in the picture The feeling of running fast forms a sharp contrast of movement and stillness, which left a deep impression on me.
Just as Lola runs constantly in the film, her madness and desperation on the way of running are also equivalent to her moving forward on the road of life. Maybe this is the belief in perseverance and determination in love when she was young. Maybe only love when she is young can To be able to have the passion of Lola's three runs for her boyfriend. But no matter when, we have to take out Lola's three 20-minute passions to face life.
