Berlin is the place that Thomas Tykwer where he filmed he fasts paced movie run Lola run in which it was entirely shot on scene and not in a studio. Berlin is a metropolitan city as we see, but most of the time it's not as crowded as we think. As we see the director emphasis on Manny calling Lola from the red pay phone to let her know that he lost the money on the train. In the movie run Lola run one of the most important scene is on the third take which takes place in the streets of Berlin, there are many more streets more scenes from the street of Berlin some very important scenes like Lola’s fathers office supermarket that Manni tries to rob. Also in the subway where he lost all the money and arrested. In all the scenarios the biggest contrast to Lola is the room that she's a very messy them lying next to each other. …show more content…
Now the third scenario we shift to the casino for people to dress fancy suits very nicely she puts a bet on 20 black and she hits the bets again at 20 black and she screams which forces the dice on 20 black and all the glass breaks around her.
In the movie run Lola run color and contrast are a big parts of Muse-En-Scene they set up the scenario for all the scenes to special-effects what the character constantly running shows what she will be doing in all three scenes or scenarios Run Lola run. I observed in the movie Run Lola Run, Manny yellow hair and Lola fiery red hair. We look at typical heroes as people in mass, suits and cape, but we never look at Lola as typical hero, but she becomes the hero of the story. Lola is in the search for salvation for her boyfriend which in both scenes before he became the villain. One of the most important props in this movie was the yellow boot that had the red phone in it. the blind lady that hands him a calling card for the
red phone. Yellow phone booth with the red phone and it the yellow phonebook signifies caution and the red phone signifies danger in my opinion I think the phonebook was a way to caution Manny and the phone was a way to get him out of danger. As I see in this movie lighting did not have a big role to play in here it was all natural lighting and the scenes are all set a different time I did the high key lighting helps the believability of the movie. This movie was very bright with high key lighting which gave a great believability to all the scenes. In the firsts two scenarios the scene started after the person’s death then we see Lola in bed again with Manni then on to next scenario. Editing in this movie uses some Hollywood movie techniques Run Lola run movie is always fast going, she's always running which keeps the camera going faster only time when this movie slows down is to emphasize important point for emphasize a specific part of the movie that are important. In Run Lola run the uses of sound is all natural to the environment like breaking glass ambulance were people working outside cash registers going off, phone ringing car is squeaking, cars breaking. The director uses all natural sounds in so man-made sounds to create natural sounds example of sounds are the city of Berlin police cars, ambulance sirens, gunshot horns and subway sounds. Hans Paetsch uses one of the most famous fairy tale narrator of Germany, are uses a short introduction theme for this phone words of policeman or heard then the bell rings. The games last 90 minutes. The director uses voice over which had a great impact on the course of this phone but provided audience the film that leaves them question the words of the policeman.
The film illustrates the common social and sexual anxieties that the Germans were undergoing at that period of time. It also employs cinematic aesthetics alongside with new technology to create what would be considered as one of Germany’s first sound-supported films. Furthermore, it was the film that popularized its star Marlene Dietrich. The film is also known for combining elements of earlier expressionist works into its setting without becoming an expressionist film itself. It is important also to point out that the visual element has helped to balance the film easily against the backdrop the nightclub lifestyle that Lola leads the professor to fall into.
In the play, red was used to accent everything from the characters’ costumes to elements in the background, and the blood. Although red was heavily used, there was a difference in the shades of red throughout the play. For example, the curtain that draped Johanna’s window, was a bright red, while the on-stage blood was a deeper red. There was also a noticeable red-orange lighting casted over the stage during intense turning points in the play. In the film, the color did serve an important role, but it did not heavily influence the body of work, like in the play. Aside from Mrs. Lovett’s clothing in the film, the color showed up mainly during the scenes were blood was needed. The blood was darkened, watery and oozed. This darkened mess, was portrayed in this way in order to emphasize the deaths in the movie, which made each scene a little more

Analysis of German Film "Run Lola Run" Run Lola Run, is a German film about a twenty-something woman (Lola) who has 20 minutes to find $100,000 or her love (Manni) will be killed. The search for the money is played through once with a fatal ending and one would think the movie was over, but then it is shown again as if it had happened ten seconds later and changed everything. It is then played out one last time. After the first and second sequences, there is a red hued, narrative bridge.
Run Lola Run is a film set in Berlin, Germany, where in the opening sequence we are introduced to a bird's-eye view of the entire setting; which is a view of Berlin's old city urban streets. The film was originally an art festival film, which allowed the auteur/director, Tom Tykwer, to experiment with several and generally risky and non-commercial camera angles and visual features to create the film's idiosyncratic emphasis on time, fate and human urgency. In doing so we are first shown a bird's-eye angle that merges into establishing shots that rapidly track to extreme close ups. Also in the first 5 mins of the film, we see the use of cross-cutting when Lola is having a conversation on the phone with Manni. This.This is interspersed with black and white flashbacks that are gradually sped up. Following up on this Tykwer employs jump cuts as Lola chooses to embark on her life or death 20 minute odyssey. Changing it up Tykwer follows this scene with a cartoon strip of Lola, which then cuts back to live action. The overall result of Tykwer, using many different visual techniques was to again create a sense of urgency, effectively placing the viewer along side Lola in her frantic twenty minute race against time through the the city streets of Berlin.
"Every second of every day you are faced with a decision that can change your life. The difference between life or death can be decided in a split second" (IMDb). Run Lola Run is an excellent 80-minute German film written/directed by Tom Tykwer and edited by Mathilde Bonnefoy that has a four part "What if" style genre. The movie just throbs with kinetic energy mixed with a case of Monster Energy Drinks. It is so fast-paced that it is like a roller coaster that is unstable with each twist and turn. Run Lola Run will captivate your mind and spirit with beautiful and free form flashes of anticipation, panic, passion, desperation, hesitation, fear and fervor that when all combined is quite invigorating and will significantly exhausts its viewers. The formula editor Mathilde Bonnefoy uses to manage the complex rhythms in this film not only dazzles viewers with the pacing, but it also maintains an extensive focus on what Lola is doing and why she is doing it.

Portrayal of Paris: Cities in Cleo from 5 to 7 and Inception The representation of the city has changed dramatically overtime .A city, the icon of a lifestyle completely different from other lifestyles, is a creation of modernity, social contrast and cultural collisions. The city of Paris is one of the most famous cities in the world and the main setting for both films, Cleo from 5 to 7 and Inception. Even though they shot their films in the same geographical location, Agnes Varda’s Paris is very different from Nolan’s Paris in visualization, audio and thematic roles. Also, it is important to think about why these director choose to represent the city of Paris with such distinctive characteristics.

Videocassettes started to rise in this time, so not as many people were attending theatres, but were still buying and watching movies. In the 1990’s and through the present, German film beamed back to life. Many movies such as Good Bye, Lenin! (2003) by Wolfgang Becker and Run Lola Run (1998) by Tom Tykwer. The new millennium of 2000 represents the German Cinema’s revival in the film industry, but is still small and unpopular on an international level, which is a shame because I personally enjoyed watching several German films in the last month and a
