Run Lola Run

“Run Lola Run” was like a fairy tale/fantasy in the sense that the story repeated three times and in the last time telling the story there was a happy ending. The first two times the story did not have a good outcome. The first time Lola gets shot, the second time Manni gets run over by the ambulance, and the third time, of course, is the happy ending. Manni got the bag of money from the “Cyclops” which is a mythical creature. As Lola is running to get the money to Manni, the people she runs into also get hurt, or receive a good fortune. The third time the story repeated it seemed as if the good people received a good fortune and something unfortunate happened to the people who acted immoral. For example: the bike the boy was riding was actually stolen, so the third time around he was not so lucky. Reality plays a role in this movie by showing that you get what you deserve in life. In reality, there are no second chances, unlike this movie. There is also a play on time. The first two times she arrives to Manni a minute too late. The final time the story was told, Lola was able to get the money and make it to Manni to find out he got the money back from the homeless guy. In the end Manni and Lola had a happy ending.
