"Run Lola Run" Tykwer

In “Run Lola Run” by Tykwer it seems that with each scenario the role of dominancy changed between Lola and Manni.  When the movie first begins Lola is in charge she keeps trying to find ways to help and save Manni, but in the end Manni ends up saving himself and all the hard work she has done sort of goes to waste.

                The Fairytale aspect of how everything has a happy ending in the story seems to appear here. The first t time Lola dies, and then the second time Manni dies, but it restarts the third time and no one is hurt and they live together “happily ever after”. In the movie just like in a fairytale the ending was perfect and everyone was happy or benefited.  It was like Tykwer did that to show how everything is supposed to have a happy ending, and it’s like this comparison between fairytale and reality.

                The music in the movie is sort of what keeps the mind racing because it’s going the pace of Lola, it almost like this ticking clock in away because the music is so climatic. The music is like the music in a scary move that you only hear when something is going to happen and it keeps your heart racing and mind wondering. This is like what Tykwer is trying to do because it’s the music playing and she’s running and the whole time I was anxious because in my head I was trying to figure out what was going to happen and was she going to be able to save Manni.  It seems like in the movie Lola is the true Heroine, even though Manni saves himself at the end when he finds the bum. It’s like she could have saved him, but of course he saves himself and when he ask her about the bag she says it nothing and just walks away with him happy. It was like her efforts was put to waste and again the whole “fairy tale” aspect seems too dominant.
