YOU CAN'T GO BACK...OR CAN YOU?

This week our class viewed the 1999 German film entitled, "Run Lola Run." This film is fast-paced and is fueled by a throbbing rave-techno soundtrack.

It unfolds in a fashion somewhat comparable to a seemingly simple (yet surprisingly complex) mathematical equation.
Manni calls Lola with a serious problem. She must have the solution to the problem in hand twenty minutes from the moment of the phone call. She thinks about who can help her, then literally runs as fast as she can to implement her plan.

With an equation comes variables, and every variable has its own variability. Did I mention that this equation had a dizzying truth to it? Every character has a meaning, and all of their actions and words mean something to the grand equation.

Ultimately, trial and error lends its hand to the equation's realization and the film ends.
