Run Lola Run (Lola Rennt)

What is it?

The 1998 German experimental thriller movie Run Lola Run (Lola Rennt).

Run Lola Run Trailer
LOLA RENNT | Trailer (XV)

What is it about?

This is how Rotten Tomatoes describes this movie:

Presenting his third feature after last year’s acclaimed Wintersleepers, Tom Tykwer cranks up the volume, stiffens the pace, and jettisons us on one of this year’s most exhilarating cinematic adventures.

A breathtaking race against the clock, Run Lola Run straps Tykwers’ playfully hip sensibilities to a fun-filled mix of romance, thrills, and action as his tireless heroine pounds the pavement and racks her brain to save her lover from danger.

Manni and Lola are twenty-something Berliners, way past cool and desperately in love.

When Manni, a local criminal’s errand boy, loses twenty thousand Marks, he has twenty minutes to find the money or face retaliation.

Not the brightest bulb, Manni turns to the quick-witted, resourceful Lola to devise a plan to save his hide.

And so she does, and off she sprints, running for Manni’s life, for her love, and to find money somewhere, somehow.

Dangling three “what if” variations on Lola’s mission to save her mate, Run Lola Run propels us toward each outcome with a delicious peppering of surprises, quirks, and twists.

A sure-fire hit with audiences, Run Lola Run brings to the screen two actors of immeasurable charisma: Franka Potente as the heroic, flame-haired Lola, and Moritz Bleibtreu as her doltish but devoted lover.

Scoring his delirious staccato mix of animation, still photographs, and live action to a pounding techno beat, Tykwer reveals himself a virtuoso of the medium and, at the same time, a passionate believer in destiny and the transcendent power of love.

Here is the German (Deutsch) description of this movie on Wikipedia:

Lola rennt ist ein deutscher Actionthriller des deutschen Regisseurs und Filmproduzenten Tom Tykwer aus dem Jahr 1998 mit Franka Potente und Moritz Bleibtreu in den Hauptrollen.

Der Film zeigt dreimal dieselbe Zeitspanne von zwanzig Minuten, jedes Mal mit kleinen Detailunterschieden, die die Handlung jeweils zu einem völlig anderen Ausgang führen (Schmetterlingseffekt in einer Form ähnlich einer Zeitschleife).

My Dad Dreams About Mrs. SH

Source: Wikimedia Commons

Tonight my dad shared a dream with me that he had last night, my dad does not remember his dreams that often, and so this was a surprise.

I will type my dad’s dream below.

All that my dad remembers of his dream is that he was at Mrs. SH’s house taking care of her like he used to do sometimes when he used to work for her doing yard work and helping her with various other things that she needed help with because she was very old and she needed some assistant because of that and because of some health problems.

Mrs. SH was from Germany (German) and she probably left Germany after World War II, and at some point she married a soldier from another country; and many years later in her old age my dad ended up working for her as one of his side jobs.

Anyway, during my dad’s dream after he finished helping Mrs. SH, he drove back home and he called Mrs. SH’s sons to let them know that she was doing good.

During the telephone or mobile phone conversation my dad was able to see Mrs. SH’s sons, in his mind I assume, and when my dad told them that their mother was doing fine they looked confused and they replied: “Well, John, mom is dead…”.

My dad replied: “Yeah, that’s right! I must be going crazy.”.

And then my dad woke up in the real world.

My dad told that this dream seemed real when he was in it, he was doing some of the usual things that he used to do when working and helping at Mrs. SH’s house, back before she died several years ago.

The end,

NF And Her Husband Trying To Help Me Move An Automobile?

I went to bed very late last night, and now I can only barely remember part of the end of my last dream from last night.

All that I can remember of this dream from last night is that it took place during the day in a slightly fictional version of the city of D, and I think that I went somewhere with some of my family like my mom and maybe my former male classmate JC.

One of these places was possibly a fictional apartment and/or house on or near N Street, but I can not remember the details of most of this dream.

At some point I think that my automobile was parked in or got left in my parent’s yard and later in the dream after leaving somewhere else someone dropped me off in the parking lot of another multi-story apartment building, and maybe someone else was supposed to arrive in their automobile to help me and/or to take me to get my automobile again.

There was an old automobile and/or something else in the parking lot that could no longer drive, the person who was supposed to meet me there and I were going to look at it, and if we wanted it we would take it back to my parent’s house and/or somewhere else so that someone could fix it and get it working again.

The person who I was supposed to meet there and who was supposed to help me possibly never arrived, I regretted not bringing my automobile at this point because I wanted to move the old automobile and/or whatever it was to get it back home, and so I tried to figure out what to do.

At some point my female online contact from Germany (German) NF and her husband C arrived, they probably did not have an automobile so maybe they came from the apartment or they walked but I can not remember, and they started trying to help me figure out how to move the old automobile and/or whatever it was back home.

NF’s husband C did not seem interested and like he did not want to help and maybe like he did not like me or something, I am not sure, and it seemed that he was pretending to help while also wasting my time just to be annoying.

Without an automobile to pull it or tow it we would have to push it across town, this would take a while and would be dangerous, and so I tried to find another way.

At some point we started to try pushing it to see if we could move it ourselves, but I woke up.

The end,

-John Jr
