Run Lola Run

Ok so Run Lola Run....interesting film. I guess we kind of see the fairy tale element since we essentially watch the same story take place three different times. I kind of wish my reality was like that- don't like the outcome just say stop and start all over again. The weird thing is every time she starts all over again so does everyone she meets, basically her reality/redo's in life also change everyone around her and their lives. Apparently only Lola has the power to do that. As far as myth blending with reality—well we don't get three redos in life just because we don't like the outcome (although that would be sweet). And as a random note on her third try she goes to the casino and play roulette, the only game in a casino where the odds are never EVER in your favor. (I'm pretty sure roulette has the worse winning odds—she should have played blackjack—the odds are in the players favor in that one) And she winds, twice, on the same number—I mean what are the chances of that? I can clearly see why the film is called a 90 minute techo video though. I can't say I'd ever watch it again though—maybe if I got more of the background story I would.
