"We should not stop exploring, all our explorations will eventually return to our starting point and understand the place for the first time." This is the verse of the British poet Eliot, and it is also a paragraph at the beginning of the film. After this, The director provided us with another wonderful viewing experience in the late 1990s in a game-like way, and at the same time made different degrees of disintegration and subversion of traditional morals, values, and choices, forming the symbol of postmodernist films. . The game begins, in Berlin, Germany, Manny is giving his girlfriend Lola, he tells Lola he lost one hundred thousand marks. If the 100,000 marks are not returned after 20 minutes, he will be killed by the underworld boss Chu Chu. Time is running out In order to rescue Manny, Lola started to think about who could borrow 100,000 marks in a short time. She thought of her father, she started to run, and went through three levels of resurrection. She finally solved it within 20 minutes. The question of 100,000 marks left with her boyfriend Manny. Lola Run is the representative of German experimental films in the late 20th century, which became postmodernist films in the context of frequent postmodernism , Postmodern film refers to the type that reflects and reflects on the characteristics of postmodern society. It has the skeptical temperament of intellectual elites, no longer believes in the existence and availability of truth, and no longer believes in the grand narrative of human liberation. The alienation and dismantling of the sense of tragedy and mission is simply to use the spirit of rebellion to highlight a strong experimental nature and avant-garde stance. For example, "Suzhou River" in the 21st century is a postmodernist film. From the perspective of film narrative, Lola Run obviously broke the conventional narrative structure of Hollywood, showing the plate-type structure in the way of games, using segments to narrate the different fates of the same person, following the "Groundhog Day" and "Groundhog Day". The structure and ideas of "Blind Fight", while adding a large number of game elements and exciting music, which weakens the narrative of the film, and the three-block type re-anatomy of the narrative structure, the three blocks have almost no relationship, each Plates all tell their own stories, with their own origins and transitions. This idea has influenced many directors in later generations, not only the avant-garde of game elements and plate-like structures, but the director tries to give life to every character in the movie And fate, aka The Butterfly Effect. Every time Lola appeared, it was a few seconds early and a few seconds late, and it had an impact on the life of the people he met. The director only showed us this diverse world in the form of PPT. Those people changed their fate. This seems to be the usual way of European films, and it is precisely the thought of postmodernism-about fate, about the unknown sense of this world, about the indescribable power of manipulation, all of this emerges. Later, most of Hong Kong’s Galaxy images also showed such a kind of thinking. The film narrative of Lola Run satirized this life without a destination; from the perspective of the film, the film has added a lot of modern elements, and it seems difficult for us to see from the film. What textbook-like audio-visual language is produced, only animation, PPT and Lola with red hair are running wild, which is also the characteristic of postmodernist films, that is, multi-collage, black and white and color, high-speed photography, fast and slow motion.... Audience His eyes seem to have been moving with the lens without the slightest stop. The lens is not only faithful to Lola, but also to the people in this world. There is a strange phenomenon, the Lola Run is more of a combination of multiple long shots, transcending time and space under the combination of multiple long shots, can this be regarded as a new type of montage, even if the two are opposite... ... From the point of view of artistic style, Lola Run presents an endless open consciousness with its unique narrative structure. Taking advantage of Lola's three explorations of time and destiny, she challenges while running to tell us the absurdity of this world, which itself It is a postmodernist thought, and this subversion and departure is its unique artistic style, creating and constructing an irrational and illogical alienated world, forming an absurd aesthetic dimension. Regarding the details of the film, there are several details in the film that are enough to prove that the security guard at the bank gate is Lola's biological father. When Lola arrived at the bank gate for the third time, her father had already got in the car and left. At this time, she shouted and came out to open the door. It happens to be the security guard, and if you listen carefully, there is a heartbeat in the background... In general, postmodernist films advocate rebellion and bring pleasure to the audience, with extremely individual pictures and marginalized portrayals. Reflecting the tension between ideas and human nature, and constantly exploring the world around us, here is a very good postmodernist film.
