A short excerpt from my paper on the movie Run, Lola Run! about the existential aspects of the film. Enjoy.
A classic look at German existentialism, Run Lola Run clearly portrays
the type of philosophy Germany is famous for. The live in the moment
style and the way that the three different scenes are portrayed clearly
illustrates the philosophical concept known as "all possible worlds" in
which individual actions can drastically change the way that a world
turns out to be. What some people have termed to be moral tendencies in
the film are little more than various outcomes of different events. In
no way does the story take a moral stance. That really is the genius of
the movie. It simply states what life could be and makes no assumptions
about what life actually is.
