Week 16

On Monday of this week, we discussed the movie Run Lola Run.   Some pretty interesting points were brought up.  As a class, we discussed how Lola's red hair could represent the power that she has.  We also talked about how the movie is like a video game and we are the people playing it.  The movie repeats the 20 minutes three time because it takes us three time to get to the next level.  Professor Tucker pointed out some things that I didn't realize were there when I watched it.  One thing was how the characters were first shown in the film.  They are pictured in a way so that it looks like the pictures are mug shots.  This is sometimes how characters are introduced at the beginning of video games.  While watching this movie, I was pretty confused, but after discussing it, I realized some of the purposes of the film.  The rest of the week we watched other student's presentations.
