Manny, panicked as a bereavement dog, asked helplessly on the side of the phone on the street: "You say love is omnipotent. Can you make 100,000 marks in 20 minutes?" The gun is behind the waist, and he can rob him at any time. Kim's supermarket then lived an unresolved life; it may not be possible to obtain 100,000 marks within 20 minutes, and the gang boss came and immediately killed Manny. Love advances in front of death every second, crossing corridors, escalators, flyovers, sidewalks, slow lanes, fast lanes, going to the bank and going to the casino, courage to save the elapsed time, Manny looks up at the minute hand of the big clock in the square Crossing the four squares...Why did Laura choose to run instead of hitting? 



Because this is a movie, only running can evoke people's emotions as much as possible. It is enthusiastic and strong, and the speed is scorching anxiety and endless courage. Love and destiny, accident and inevitability, life is not a cycle, time travels in the running, even if there is a glimmer of hope, we must interpret and save destiny with a running posture. This is the reality of life. In fact, why don't we be tired of running, but our goal is vague and distant, Laura is happy, she relies on running to save the future, love has a future. This is a human instinct, as if all creatures use a running posture to rescue themselves at the most critical moment. 



The director also created the fast-running Laura out of such aesthetic needs. You can say that the main purpose of the film is to organize the scattered possible story elements into an inevitable result that "only that way" can finally achieve, and it can be based on the director himself. The original intention of "Lola Run" is regarded as the catharsis and salvation of human emotions. There is no God, God is only in our hearts. Laura begged God to help her this time on the run, but it was Laura herself who won the 100,000 mark in the casino with screaming mental power. No one cares why Lola is so anxious because no one can help her. Life is so isolated-think about who can help you? 



The image of his father was denied in his mind time and time again, and in the end he refused to become Lola's savior. Everyone passing by may be irrelevant, but they have changed their life course because of this contingency. The woman pushing the stroller, Mr. Meyer, the boy cyclist, the beggar, the bank clerk, Lola ran to her own destiny, She has also completed the path of other people's destiny, everything is possible, Laura has no choice but to run, only at the moment of the tragedy, she has the right to stop. 



So the story starts all over again, as if nothing has happened yet, we once again choose new rules of the game. As if electronic pets will never die, the game is also called "Lola Run" in a different way of playing.

The only thing that cannot be chosen is that fate must be fought on the run.

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.
