  1. I like the run lola run because I felt that it had a young person's point of view. It connected to me because I am always on the go and I sometimes I wonder what would happen if it took another route to school or work. It is also interesting that here attitude about things change and it drastically changes her destiny. I strongly believe that how you look at life is a big factor on how it is going to be. The movie also was able to convey a meaning with a little faster pace. Overall i like the movie more because it was shot less like conventional movies. From the switching types of film to the faster pace, I enjoyed it more than the first movie that we watched

  2. Yes, it is nice when a film can be fast-paced, interesting, and explore meaningful topics at the same time.

  3. I am not sure which movies are we comparing. Since the beginning? If so I would chose Spoorloos. None of the American films. Second Run Lola. The pace of the movie didn't matter because I enjoy slow or fast pace films. The first movie in class I enjoyed because I was surprise. It didn't follow a pattern. I like the open ending. Although I am a die hard for happy endings, I like the idea the movie could continue like a book. It was unexpected. If the choice was the other two, I like Run Lola. This one I enjoyed the patterns. The exact opposite of Spoorloos. Looking for the patterns within the a small change. One small change made by Lola yet the cinematography still was careful to include consistent patterns (motiff) of no change. It was really interesting like more was going on in the director minds and he was giving it to you on the screen. It was a lot to take in because it was fast.

  4. I can't say one was better than the other, but I did enjoy "Run Lola Run". I had seen it a couple of years ago so watching it gain was great. I think I enjoyed it because of the fast pace and the different outcomes each time she started out of her house. I'm sure we all wish we could go back and change something in our life that happened to us and wondered if I did it this other way what could've changed.

  5. I enjoyed "Run Lola, Run". I tend to like fast-paced action films, but I also like to think. "Run Lola, Run" fulfilled both those needs for me. It's cool to think about fate and destiny; How one action can completely change everything. I noticed that the third time around Lola seemed to be doing everything "right". Her actions were more moral than the first 2 times around and in the end, everything worked out fine.

  6. Hello, my name is Ankita. I liked "Run Lola Run", but after class I was thinking more about the dutch film "The Vanishing". I was able to see myself there, and was haunted by the ending for a long while. The movie was a little bit slow but since it was jumping inbetween different times and plots, I enjoyed it. And not answering every question in the viewer's mind was a smart move. "Run Lola Run" was a good movie too, fast paced but I couldn't put myself in her shoes, for me this could only happen to Lola. "The Vanishing" was more closer and appealing to me.

  7. Out of the movies we have watched so far, I enjoyed “Run Lola Run”. I enjoyed “Run Lola Run” more because of the pace and it was more of an action movie out of the ones we watched so far. In that movie I also liked how they had different perspectives and the outcomes were different each time until she got it right. I agree with Jessica on how “it’s cool to think about fate and destiny”. It might be different if you could go back and try to change anything like she did in the movie

    I liked the movie run lola run just because the first month of the fall semester i got into a car accident, and i never studied for the test that day. I was wondering what would of happened if i did take that test the next class and skipped that day. Maybe i would have been ok and never went to the hospital. This is just like run lola run, what if you did something else and it changed your whole out come of what could of happened.

  9. The film I liked was Wings of Desire. I enjoyed the transition of lack of emotion and color from the beginning of the movie to the end were the film was filled with color and passion with two people in love. And I dont know why but there is something about an angel with out feelings that falls for a woman and defies the will of God just to be with her that seems apealling to me.

  10. I for sure liked "Run Lola Run", it was fast paced, because of all the running of course, I believe that, that is what kept everyone on their feet. My favorite part was the anticipation of what was going to change in the next two takes of how it was going to end. Lola's hair color gave that character quite a flare, sort of a rebel type look. Compared to "Wings of Desire" oh boy was that movie boring to me. Hardly any color, it also seemed to stay with one or two characters for a long period of time with no real action(that I am use to anyway) Very slow music, also not all that interesting to me.

  11. It seems like Run Lola is a favorite. Glad to see appreciation for a slower paced film like Wings of Desire. When I saw Wings for the first time, it was a powerful experience. It reminded me the importance of living and enjoying everyday.

  12. I liked Run Lola Run personally. It was more fast paced an more things going on. I really dont like to sit down and watch slow movies, but I did like how Wings of Desire made you think and realise how special life is!! -Melissa Baez
