Run Lola Run is a film set in Berlin, Germany. This movie gives you the idea of ​​following Lola on her journey to find one hundred marks in twenty minutes to save the life of her boyfriend Manni. Tom Tykwer uses many cinematic techniques that are not usually used in films, making this film different from all other Hollywood films. Techniques such as the use of flashback and flash forward give the film the idea that even just one small move or event can change your move in different ways. Other techniques that made this film interesting and attracted attention is the use of animation, cross-cutting, bird's eye perspective and medium shot. One technique that was shown continuously throughout the film was the use of flash forward, each shot of the flash forward was shown in stills, showing a glimpse of each person Lola came across, living in the future. Flash forwards were used when Lola had contact with the three strangers. Each flashforward changes for the strangers as Lola tries to make her journey different, each time making a difference to the characters' flashforwards. His timing of getting to Manni affects how he meets strangers, causing their lives to become better or worse. Depending on when and how he comes across them. This technique has been used to show how small things can change bigger things later in life, even if it doesn't seem like it at the time. Another technique that was used quite well was the use of flashback. There is a scene at the beginning of the film that shows the conversation on the phone between Manni and Lola. This scene shows Lola explaining to Manni how she just went to buy some cigarettes and a man stole her scooter, she tried to chase him but he was too far ahead. Not just… middle of paper… feeling this way. In Run Lola Run this was used when Manni was in the phone booth on the phone with Lola. You see Manni standing in the phone booth and his body language shows the audience frustration and borderline. This technique was used so that viewers can get an idea of ​​not only how the characters react with their facial expression, but also how they take it. In conclusion, the filmmaking techniques used by Tom Tykwer are all used for a reason and are very unique compared to other typical American films. The techniques that struck me are those listed above and make the film more interesting and captivating. Making me want to watch it more and sit on the edge of my seat. Techniques such as flash forward, flashback, medium shot, bird's eye perspective, animation and cross cutting made this film the best it could be.
