"Lola Run" Lola's Moonlight

Treasure Box saw a film review not long ago, saying that Liu Zhenwei's 2010 "More Light Treasure Box" was a tribute to "Lola Run", and couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Long before the release of "Lola Run", the landmark "Journey to the West" directed by Liu Zhenwei and starring Stephen Chow had already used a similar crossing. So, for a long time, I had to think that "Lola Run" was inspired by "Journey to the West".
At the end of "The Moonlight Treasure Box", Zhou Xingchi's supreme treasure uses the moonlight treasure box to travel through time and space, returning to the cave again and again, trying to save Bai Jingjing who committed suicide. This is just one part of the many classic plots of the film. In this classic film, time travel is just a prop, and it expresses thoughts about love and life through more content and methods.
However, because it was too obscure, even if Stephen Chow tried his best to give a performance of the highest level, "Journey to the West" was still coldly received, until a few years later, the students of Peking University and Tsinghua University read the classics from the nonsensical, It only became popular in the Chinese film and television circle, and was eventually regarded as a classic of Hong Kong films.

Four years after the collapse of "Journey to the West", "Lola Run" was released and received unanimous praise. It is still regarded as a classic of time travel films to this day.
"Lola Run" tells the story of the protagonist Lola trying to help her boyfriend Manny to escape from the predicament. With the help of time travel, the film reveals to the audience a life attitude, love cognition, opportunity and uncertainty through three parallel narrative techniques.
The first two times, Lola's "Moonlight Treasure Box" failed, once when she was shot by the police, and once when her boyfriend was hit and killed by a car. When Lola opened the "Moonlight Treasure Box" for the third time, she finally succeeded.
About life, about love, about opportunity, what does "Lola Run" tell us?
A side is
active and strives for it. Whether it's career, love, or life.
Every time Lola ran fast, she changed the fate of herself and several others. In the face of failure, she persisted in crossing again and again, and finally won success.
In the face of setbacks, don't miss any first-line opportunity, and perseverance will always change.

No matter whether we are in good times or bad, we must have a peaceful attitude to face it .
For example, there are endless choices in life, don't regret it, moving forward is the only thing to do. Because you don't know if the other option will do what you want. Maybe better, or worse.
Just live every day calmly and deal with every problem that needs to be solved.

    You don't know why you run, you know life should run; you don't know what the next second will be, you know you can only choose with your heart.

    As far as the story expressed in the film is concerned, my shallow understanding is that the film just illustrates the existence of countless possibilities, and correspondingly there will be countless endings.

Run Lola Run quotes

  • [first lines]

    [subtitled version]

    Narrator: Man... probably the most mysterious species on our planet. A mystery of unanswered questions. Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? How do we know what we think we know? Why do we believe anything at all? Countless questions in search of an answer... an answer that will give rise to a new question... and the next answer will give rise to the next question and so on. But, in the end, isn't it always the same question? And always the same answer?

  • Manni: What if I were in a coma, and the doc says, "One more day?"

    Lola: I'd throw you into the ocean... Shock therapy.
