Run Lola Run Case

A perfect rendering of the techno age, Run Lola Run includes a combination of formalized features. There are three scenarios and the third of them represents the real life. Choice, decision and the will to act are only one set of influences.

The third part was arranged by the destiny. Everything just happened the way it should have. There is the often confusing argument that individuals can choose their own destiny by selecting different "paths" throughout their life, even though the different courses of action the individuals take nonetheless lead to a very predetermined destiny.

None of the couple committed crime. They didn't steal, lie or rob. Instead, they were honourable and tried to solve everything without breaking the law. Therefore, they succeed. It's karma. When they don't break commandment, they accomplish.

It seems like Lola learns from her mistakes that she has done in the past for the third time, so as a result, she's victorious. For example, in the first story arc, Lola blatantly exhibited lack of knowledge in handling a gun. But in the second arc, she turns off the safety as if she had done it before.

The film presents us three different scenarios that could result from Lola and Manni's predicament and the third part is the real life. It was arranged by the destiny, none of the couple committed anything against the law. Everything just happened the way it should have. It seems like Lola learns from everything she has done wrong in the past for the third time, so she is successful.
