Blog Topic #3 - Comment by 9:00 p.m. on Tues., 3/22

Visit Tom Tyker's director's statement about Run Lola Run.

Then, respond to the following questions by leaving your thoughts as a COMMENT on this posting below.

1) According to Tykwer, what does he always start with when building a story into a film?

2) Tykwer says that he wants viewers to feel as if Lola has lived through all "the various possibilities we show in the film," meaning all three timelines! What was the emotional effect he was hoping this would create?

3) Tykwer says that the film's story "functions according to the structural principles used...in classical drama. We have a great and passionate love, we have a clear action principle, and we have a mission that goes right through the film." Okay, but give three specific examples of non-classical (formalistic) aspects to Run Lola Run.

For full credit, your responses must be in complete, well-written sentences. Be sure to proofread and to put any quotes you use from Tykwer's statement in quotation marks.
