Run Lola Run

Run Lola Run was an interesting film. The use of multiple episodes revolving around the same general objective was refreshing. As far as gender roles were concerned they were almost reversed, Lola, the female, was in this case attempting to save her boyfriend from a terrible fate instead of the usual damsel in distress set up. It explored a number of themes such as the fragility of fate and integrated a number of interesting conceptsm such as the scream. The film was almost like a true show of free will. Some say that there isn't free will (I for example never had the choice not to write this blog post) because free will implies that one can go back and change a decision they had already made. When in reality we never initially had a choice because we only made one choice. However in Lola rennt we see her go through the sam scenario a number of times, each one with a different outcome.
