From Ximending, Lola's short hair can be seen everywhere dyed red, igniting human sparks like fire. Although no one in the pedestrians cares about anyone, even a passer-by is a whirlwind that buries infinite possibilities and passes through everyone.
"Man ... the most mysterious animal on earth ..." At the beginning of the film, pedestrians are in a hurry, and no one pays special attention to anyone, or even meets anyone, until the stranger crosses the layers of figures, looks straight into the camera and speaks.
The bell is ringing loudly. It comes from a luxury mobile phone. Lola finally ran in and picked up the receiver. The telephone line connects her with her boyfriend Manny at the speed of light. In a depressed conversation, the audience also boarded the spaceship and rushed into the black hole where time and space were rapidly compressed.
Today, Manny, the rascal's boyfriend, went out to deal drugs and collect bills, while Lola went out shopping. Her motorcycle was stolen, so she couldn't pick up Manny as scheduled. Manny had to take the tram, because she avoided the police in the tram, she left money for drug trafficking. At present, she is in a daze. Unless she raises money in twenty minutes, she will be killed by those people. He decided to rob the mall. Lola thought there was another way to raise money, so she hung up and started.
Start with an unpredictable accident.
A simple event happened in the lower class of Germany, and a simple task was locked in 20 minutes. Through a red phone call, a lot of complicated random karma was attracted, first a few unpredictable accidents, and then a series of choices with infinite influence.
In desperation, Lola chose her father from many people who asked for help. In the choice of running, she chose to rush to avoid pedestrians and vehicles on the road; In a rage, she chose to break the original disharmonious relationship between father and daughter when she failed to borrow money. Panicked, Manny started robbing when the 20-minute deadline came. Lola, who returned empty-handed, chose to be an accomplice and died because of the police shooting.
Lola, who was killed in the street, is still published. It was originally a dull day. How did she get to this terminal? If you can do it again ... under the blue sky, the red phone rings again and Lola runs away again. It's the same journey, the same tram pedestrian, and a small choice change that happened during her running. After the loan was refused, Lola chose to rob her father directly and successfully raised money, but Manny was killed-she was hit head-on by an ambulance that changed speed because she avoided Lola. Manny couldn't close his eyes for a moment, so he got into the telephone line through his pupil. Lola hung up the phone and started running for the third time. ...
Lola Run has many commercial labels, such as fast-paced MTV movies, the most popular German movies abroad in recent years, alternative movies at the end of the century, and the most exciting European movies. For me, tears burst after the opening 50 seconds, which is not enough to describe the profound message I felt in this movie.
A world where cause and effect are infinitely intertwined.
Thinking of the prevailing chaos theory, it is pointed out that even a simple mathematical formula may evolve into a waterfall-like chaotic and rude system as long as a subtle variable is changed in operation. A butterfly flapping its wings in Beijing today may cause the sky in new york to be covered with heavy snow next spring. This chain reaction comes from the fact that we live in a world where cause and effect are infinitely involved.
Of course, most movie narratives are nothing more than twists and turns between deduction and cause. The amazing thing about Lola Run lies in the skill of director tom tykwer's choice. In the high-speed rhythm of removing bones and muscles, Lola ran all the way to the side, instantly splicing the causal effect through time and space, so we saw that the nanny who was hit by Lola might kidnap the baby and go to prison because of her bad mood. It is also possible that the nanny stopped for a while because of Lola's collision, and then met a charity organization and gradually assimilated into a social volunteer. This diametrically opposite life development happened in Lola's three runs, and the same situation evolved into a completely different world because of a little randomness.
Even though my understanding of Buddhism is very shallow, I still feel a strong message of karma in this movie. Since the universe is made up of all beings, everyone's behavior and thoughts are constantly spreading intangible karma and interwoven into an infinite network of relationships. Because there are hundreds of millions or even infinite variables exchanged in this network, ordinary people can only see what goes around comes around in a very limited scale, while "Lola Run" adopts a violent slicing method, and the story is immoral and does not consider thoughts. Cut the plot at any time, showing a lot of causality, so the highly concentrated film can impress people, perhaps because it squeezes the network of relationships, making us see the living universe as if we had caught a glimpse of the so-called absolute existence, and got a little inspiration from the Buddha.
One of the most striking topics in Lola Run is the surreal plot of Lola running for help three times. It's like a virtual world in a video game. Flip a coin once, you can manipulate the electronic life three times, implying the love, hate and soul-stirring struggle of life. Is it just a moment's recreation on the other side of the screen? Do people have free will in the huge causal network? The views expressed in this film obviously have a touch of Buddhism.
Thousands of possible chain reactions
In the world of Lola Run, there is no tendency to follow the dogma of deism and the materialistic order. Close to the random selection of people in chaos. Strictly speaking, there is still a taste of materialism, but the point is that every temporary choice of Lola is not necessarily directly caused by its own traceable environmental impact. She made a slight mistake three times, suddenly ran away against the wall and suddenly bypassed again. There may be thousands of factors for her unprovoked behavior, that is, using a supercomputer to calculate, or she may not be able to sort out the sufficient reasons for Lola's every small decision. The director expressed his views at the beginning of the film. Man is the most mysterious animal.
More importantly, the same rush that started three times has evolved into three different versions. The world depicted in Lola Run is an illusion composed of karma. Illusion seems to be all-encompassing, but reality is nothingness that can be completely disintegrated with a poke. Perhaps the director's innuendo is outside the video game, close to a deeper level, because the lines are impermanent, because she saw the illusion of the real world, what is Lola's true self? Who is more real, all the characters in the movie or the audience in front of the screen? Who is more virtual?
It contains these profound messages. Fortunately, the whole movie is smooth and interesting. After walking out of the cinema, it is the most lively night market in Ximending. I feel that looking around, Lola's short red hair is everywhere, which ignites the spark of human beings like a fire. Although no one in the pedestrians cares about anyone, it is even a whirlwind, passing by, looking at each other for an instant, burying infinite possibilities and passing through everyone.
Lola Lang: Another Possibility of Controlling Movies
Author: Tian Ran font: small and large.
Obviously, this is not a film in the traditional sense, its significance has gone beyond the scope of the film itself, animation, games, arbitrary plot settings, its unique temperament is so in line with this era. For children who grew up watching Lola Run, learning movies is no longer a boring thing, and it is hard for you to persuade them to obey the rules, because they see another possibility of controlling movies.
The story is simple. A girl named Lola must get 10 million marks within 20 minutes and deliver them to her boyfriend, otherwise the underworld will find that her boyfriend is in big trouble. It should be said that it is meaningless to analyze the plot structure of this film. We have all played role-playing games. If the protagonist is killed while performing a plot task, you can open the archive and return to the original position to continue playing this task repeatedly. There is no problem to interpret this film with this concept. Lola Run in a non-strict sense has a three-stage plot structure. In the first two plots, Lola failed to perform the plot task. In the third plot, Lola finally finished the task and her boyfriend saved the day. Both of them have gained unexpected wealth and are happy. Continue to analyze, in role-playing games, there are usually many NPC characters, and they all have their own clear roles and personalities. Of course, most of them are random and variable. In the process of interacting with these NPCs, the protagonist got the information he deserved and the right amount of help, and finally completed the task. In Run Lola, except Lola and her boyfriend, anyone who appears can be regarded as NPC, Lola's father, an old lady pushing a stroller in the street, a doorman in a bank, and a beggar with a beard in a subway station. Some NPCs have the ability to change the plot, while others are insignificant. Every time Laura starts a mission, she will interact with these NPCs and seek clearance. Whether Laura or NPC, the direction of both sides will change because of the difference of each play. A slight difference will be reflected in the results, which will affect the whole body. It can be said that the game is endless, and it can also be said that the movie is fruitless. In the third episode, by chance, Lola earned100000 marks in the casino, and her boyfriend found a lazy man who took his money, but is this the only way to solve the problem? In other words, if you play the game again, you may not have such luck. Then there will be a fourth time and a fifth time. Lola will never stop and run forever before the task is completed. In this way, the movie will never end. In other words, Lola Run only provides a platform for the possibility of event development. On this platform, let the story develop on its own and let the characters die. Admittedly, this theory is very bad.
The core of the story is this. In order to match the trend of the story, in terms of audio-visual means, Lola Run is extremely gorgeous and dazzling, with fast editing, jumping, framing, low-speed lens switching, flash animation and photo montage, trying to create an unreal atmosphere, which is dizzying. The moving lens, which accounts for almost two-thirds of all the shots, fluctuates greatly, making the whole movie very visually impactful and dynamic. Rhythm, highlight a fast word, sharp and not procrastinating. The actor's performance also complements this style, which is decisive, not procrastinating and strong in action. In a word, it is correct and reasonable for the creative staff to choose the above deductive methods for Lola Run.
The birth of Lola Run is a great blessing for us. Leaving aside the domestic film system, from the creative concept, this creative idea is brand-new and unconstrained, not just to cater to the tastes of young people. The key question is, what will happen to the film's direction, attitude and creative method after the release of Lola Run? Has the film genre become richer? This is the subject before us. The times are changing, and our way of thinking, world outlook and values have also begun to change to varying degrees. Many rules and constraints were inadvertently loosened and eventually collapsed. So, how to interpret the world we want to express in our way? Run Lola provides an excellent reference scheme.
The reference object is not the film itself, but the idea.
Running Lola advocates the so-called equality between men and women.
Author: Ronan font: small and big
The process of watching movies is a period of divergent thoughts. Every time the lens is mottled in front of my eyes, and every time the soundtrack touches my ear gently, it will make my brain think and make my nerves tangled. "Run Lola" is a very clever film, which is worth thinking about.
Yes, this is the third time I have seen this experimental film. For the first time, I just thought it was cool, three years ago; The second time, I felt women's rights last month; The third time, I thought about equality between men and women, last night.
The prelude to the movie, the crowd is complicated. In the fuzzy scene, there are clear close-ups of people. Finally, the camera was aimed at a simple and honest security guard. He smiled and said: the game is only 90 minutes, and everything else belongs to theory. Then kick the football into the air with your feet. This line explains the theme of the film for the first time. Football is round, which shows that everything in the world runs in cycles. 90 minutes represents the time of a ball game. The so-called first 45 minutes is home, and the last 45 minutes is away, which is also a cycle. It can only be cycled once, after all, it only takes 90 minutes, and the result will be available after 90 minutes. What was the result? Let's analyze this result one by one through the three runs of Lola.
(a) Laura is in a hurry for the first time
When Laura received the distress call, she immediately thought of who to borrow 10W Mark to save her boyfriend Manny's life. After a series of brain wave searches, she locked her father. It is natural for a daughter to ask her father for money, but this is actually a sign of Lola's immaturity. After all, life depends on her own efforts, and relying on the support of others can only solve the urgent need, but not the long-term pain. This scene vaguely implies that Lola is an independent red-haired child. After running to his father's office, he was rejected by his father. In the process, Lola was driven out of the building by her father without any resistance. In desperation, he and Manny robbed the supermarket together and were killed by the police in desperation.
This is indeed a sad side, which strongly sets off the humble position of women and reflects the inferiority, dependence and failure of women's spirit.
Lola hurried over for the second time.
In the second run, Laura chose a suitable route than the first one, so the time was obviously shortened. After entering his father's office, he directly clashed with his father, and pointed the security guard's gun at his father, forcing him to hand over 10W DM cash. The daughter's attitude scared the daylights out of her father. The content of this film is a qualitative leap over Lola's first encounter. Lola knows how to protect her own interests and face-to-face confrontation with ferocious men. But Lola is still immature, because she still runs to her father's office and lives on the strength of her relatives. Therefore, the result of this run still failed. Manny was killed by a truck. But what ran out this time was the cry of women, the persistence of women, which was positive and worthy of recognition.
Lola hurried over for the third time.
Laura learned the lesson from the previous two times, ignored the objective factors and went straight to her father's office. Because of the time, my father has left the office, and the disappointed Lola can only win a glimmer of hope for herself by gambling. It is precisely because of this scene that Lola completely abandoned the man's help and his own dependence. In gambling, Laura's loud roar shows women's self-improvement and self-confidence.
Three sprints are a symbol of the victory of women's rights. Each sprint is more passionate and closer to success. We can't forget two important scenes in the film, which can fully reflect Lola's personality change.
When Lola was shot, there was a picture of Manny and Lola talking in bed. If you look closely, you can find that Lola leans her head on Manny's arm, which is very naive, reflecting that Lola lives by men. When Manny was hit by a car (running around for the second time), there were also scenes of Manny and Lola talking in bed. The difference is that Manny leans his head on Lola's arm. The difference in this shot fully illustrates the changes in the status of women and men. Similarly, we can also understand this change of status according to these two dialogues.
After three sprints, come back for a 90-minute football game. The so-called 45 minutes away, 45 minutes at home, is understandable. But is this film just a foil to women's rights? I think Manny's narrative can also reflect the change of men's rights.
After V Lola ran away for the first time, Manny chose to rob the supermarket with a gun. Manny gave up the robbery after Lola's second hasty escape. After Laura scurried for the third time, Manny simply caught the tramp and regained the original 10W mark. These three scenes completely changed Manny's loser character and weak psychological thought, and brought out the best in Lola's character. Therefore, this film is not only under the slogan of "Long live women's rights", but also under the slogan of "equality between men and women". Because only when men and women have equal rights can the world remain stable.
The theme of the film has been described. Let's briefly talk about photography and modeling. In the still shot, the cameraman shoots by shoulder, which inevitably leads to the visual difference between the left and right heights, which aroused my interest in the film, because the shaking of the left and right heights set off Laura's slight tremor. In the dynamic lens, the cameraman used several units to shoot the running of the roller, and the running scene was handled vividly. In terms of styling, Laura's red hair is very emotional, which is also an important part of attracting fans' attention and one of the signs of women's disrespect. By the way, the subtitles at the end of the film turn from top to bottom, closely following the unique avant-garde characteristics of the film.
The charm of movies is that you will get different understandings every time you enjoy them, and then record these understandings one by one and leave them in the text …
