Rating: Summary: Einy, meeny, miny, moe... Review: What difference do our choices make? What is the role of fate? Watch this movie and find out!After seeing this movie I had to say, Wow! Steven Spielberg once said that you can judge a movie's worthiness by turning the sound off and evaluating it after watching it (or part of it) that way. This film passes that test and then some. The plot is not complicated but the way it is presented is thought provoking and riveting. The soundtrack is impressive. The imagery and color are vibrant, crisp, and rich all at the same time. I don't buy a lot of movies but I immediately purchased this one and the soundtrack on CD as soon as I finished watching the rental DVD. This is the kind of movie that will start popping up in film studies and philosopy classes!
Rating: Summary: (Panting sound) Review: Whoa! This movie literally took my breath away. Its fast paced the whole time never letting up. The editing is brilliant and the cinematography is amazing. Forget the VHS get the DVD its cheaper and has extra scenes and interviews. The plot is like nothing ive ever seen before. Buy this and you won't regret it.
Rating: Summary: Pulse-Pounding Perfection Review: This was the first foreign-language film I've gone to see in the theatre, and it certainly didn't shy me away from seeing more. Tom Tykwer's unique writing and direction made this bizarre, pulse-pounding movie thoroughly enjoyable. Yes, the plot is pretty simplistic. But the trick is taking a step back from the plot to see what the movie is really about: Fate, chance, and how twisting one tiny little occurence can spiral a "predetermined" course of events in an entirely different direction. This movie has nothing to do with its plot. The music and images make this a truly beautiful movie to witness, and it's so far held up to repeat viewings without boring me in the least. You'll be seeing more from Tykwer. And even if you don't, see this one -- it's certain to surprise you.
Rating: Summary: This movie is nice Review: To me this is the most romantic movie in a while,The love between Mani and Lola is very sweet the movie is also the most original in a while
Rating: Summary: Incredible! The best ever! Review: I rented this DVD online and was on the edge of my seat,glued to the screen and never blinked until the end! I hit title repeat right away and went amazon to buy one and gift-click four more to web friends.I will remember this film forever!If Run Lola Run was up for a little golden man it would expose the others as impotent,unoriginal bits of trash.
Rating: Summary: RUN To The Video Store and Buy This Review: This has to be one of the finest foreign action films I have ever seen. Kudos to the Germans on making this a fast paced, edge of your seat fantasy-action, soon to be cult- classic masterpiece. It puts forth intruiging circumstances. What if you didn't miss the bus or what if you bought that lottery ticket? In this film Lola and her boyfriend get to play out three different outcomes to almost identical situations. The dubbing to English is annoying at first but you get used to it. It is slightly off emotion. This is a great addition to your DVD collection.
Rating: Summary: Ruuuuuuuun to for your destany Review: Don't like the german language, but it don't mather couse it is ezze to understand. Love the idéa of the movie. I'ts good that the director has done the music to. If you have DTS this is a must. Every body that hates the perfect symphonies of Hollywood this is a must.
Rating: Summary: Nice movie Review: The DVD of RLR has the best secondary commentary track I have heard. It is refreshing to hear an intelligent director and actor discuss the movie as it unfolds instead of a monologue from some hack who says "This was real cool. Actor X is awesome to work with." The movie itself is fast paced and stylistically stunning, and it holds up to multiple viewings.
Rating: Summary: Most Miss the Point.... Review: The focus of this brief window into the lives of Lola and Manni was not the situation that they found themselves in, but how the effect of each instant of our existance can impact the rest of our lives. Through miniscule changes in timing, we witnessed a domino effect that ended each vignette drastically different. Have you ever narrowly missed being in a car crash? What if you had dropped your keys getting into the car, adding several seconds that would eventually cause your course to parallel anothers and converge in an auto accident. In the film, we see snap shots of others lives as Lola runs past, the kid on the bike crashes, meets a nurse, they marry, they live happily ever after. Another vignettte, he doesn't crash, and winds up a junkie. In my humble opinion this is the best movie I have ever seen that was able to illustrate how each day our smallest deterances and decisions and those of others, can re-route the course of things and ultimately change the course of our lives.
Rating: Summary: transcends culture Review: I saw this film in Amsterdam: German language with Dutch subtitles - I don't understand either language. Yet I was totally enthralled, and only rarely wished I could understand the dialogue - it is so dominantly visual, and the music is fabulous. I'll have to watch it again with English subtitles, though, for those bedroom scenes where Lola and her boyfriend are talking (the only scenes not totally action-based). Euphoric - an amazing energizer of a film.
