Run Lola Run

The repetition of the story in Run Lola Run was interesting because the viewer thinks they know what is going to happen next but each time, the story changes slightly, resulting in an entirely different ending. The final ending (I don't know whether it was the true ending or not) was the typical "happy" ending because not only does nobody die, but they manage to pay the man off and are 100,000 marx richer.
The "mythic/fictional" aspect of the story comes in when Lola manipulates time by screaming and shattering glass. Mannie turns to her for answers at the beginning and this gives the viewer the impression that Lola is the problem solver of the relationship. She finds ways out of tight situations, by tweaking the circumstances. It seems she tries all available possibilities for how the story could go and then settles on the one that has the most desirable outcome.
