Run Lola Run	comment	Lola rennt (known as Run Lola Run in English-speaking countries) is a 1998 German film directed by Tom Tykwer and starring Franka Potente and Moritz Bleibtreu. Unique and varied, the film is difficult to assign to any specific genre. Instead, think of this movie as a video game style exploration of love and fate that blends animation sequences with live footage, except that it's techno, fast, and features a red-haired German woman who spends most of the movie running.After his girlfriend Lola's scooter is stolen, Manni, a courier for a crime boss, accidentally leaves 100,000 Deutschmarks on the Berlin U-Bahn, where it's stolen by a homeless man. He's dead if he doesn't bring it in, so he decides to rob a grocery store in order to make up for the loss. He helpfully informs Lola of this 20 minutes beforehand. Lola, whose father is a wealthy banker, decides to see if she can get Manni's money for him.The film is perhaps most famous for its video game parallels: several times throughout the movie, either Lola or Manni suddenly die and the story starts over, with Lola making subtly different decisions this time around that greatly affect the outcome.

Run Lola Run / int_5e50adfe	type	Split Timelines Plot
Run Lola Run / int_5e50adfe	comment	Split Timelines Plot: The differences in the three timelines are caused by how she deals with a punk and his dog on her way down her apartment building's stairs, which causes a ripple effect that sends her in a completely different direction in each timeline: In the first sequence of events, Lola is forced to move around the two. She is neither faster nor slower and distracts Mr. Meyer by running in front of his car, causing a car accident with Manni's boss. She then arrives after her father learns his mistress is pregnant. This leads to him disowning Lola and makes her go to help Manni. Lola arrives late and Manni crosses the street as an ambulance passes by behind him and starts a robbery, which Lola is forced to join. The second sequence sees her get tripped down the stairs, spraining her ankle, which slows her down for a few seconds. This time she jumps over Mr. Meyer's car, once again causing a car accident with Manni's boss. She then arrives after her father learns that his mistress is pregnant, but also that he is not the father. Lola doesn't knock and overhears all this, making her angry enough to take him hostage and rob the bank. She gets to Manni before he can go into the store, but he gets run over by the ambulance when he doubles back across the street. The final sequence sees her just jump over the dog, which makes her a little faster than the first loop. Because she is faster she runs into the nuns early, slowing her down significantly and forcing her to run out in front of the bike thief, who doesn't try to sell the bike to her and instead stops at a street grill where he sells the bike to the homeless man. Because Lola was slowed down significantly she trips over the hood of Mr. Meyer's car, forcing him to brake and avoiding the car accident altogether, meaning he gets to the bank before Lola does and drives off with her father. Because her father isn't there she has to improvise, eventually leading to her winning big at the casino. Meanwhile, because he now has a bike, the homeless man passes by Manni at just the right time for Manni to notice him, leading to Manni chasing after him instead of trying to rob the store. In a more focused manner, when Lola impacts someone's life, the audience sees a quick few polaroids of how their life changed as a result of the incident, leading to wildly varying outcomes.

The second time, she flicks it off with practiced precision. It may extend to other characters as well: the security guard at the bank seems aware of the loop by the third iteration, and the blind woman makes Manni aware that the homeless man is passing by.

Just before The Reveal, Lola even calls him a jerk. In the second loop, he tells Lola to get a job when she needs the money to save Manni, and smacks Lola in the face for insulting his mistress.
