Have you ever felt the need to improve your life? I joined the cross country team in sixth grade to do just that. Cross country requires tremendous amounts of hard work, dedication, and never giving up to succeed in.…
Throughout the novel of ‘The running man’ the theme ‘things are not always what they seem’ is a consistent idea in the text. Michael Gerard Bauer’s narrative is a story of the value of perception as characters are constantly being mis-judged. Like Mrs. Mossop, josephs ‘nosey’ neighbour, the ‘dangerous, sick man’ known as Tom Layton and The Running Man who is described as the ‘stuff from nightmares’.…
Winner of the Audience and Best film award at the Sundance Film Festival Best film Best Supporting Actress Best Supporting Actor, Best Director at the German Film Festival, Bambi Award among many other. Run Lola Run is set against the grungy urban scene scape of Berlin with an intensive bass driven techno soundtrack composed by writer and director Tom Tykwer. Run Lola Run is pounding with kinetic energy and a case of Red Bull, like a marathon inside a rave inside a fusion reactor. This moving not only takes hold of your senses in the way of a roller coaster but hypnotizing you your brain and spirit with tripping free form flashes of anticipation, panic, passion, desperation, hesitation, fear and fervor that is at once utterly exhilarating…
Discuss how the distinctively visual is created in the opening of the film Run Lola Run…
Editing is, in my opinion, the most important aspect of film. Editing is the aspect that allows a film to guide the thoughts and associations of the spectator. Run Lola Run used a series of cuts and a collage to develop a tempo that makes the audience feel exactly how the director intended. In a way, editing can be a form of emotional manipulation. Abrupt changes in camera position can evoke an emotional response from an audience. Run Lola Run used this method several times.…
Time plays a crucial role and is the central figure of individual’s life. In “Run Lola Run” time is an important motif continuously portrayed throughout the film. The opening of the film displays a gothic-looking clock ticking away its demonic second hand, another demon on its main face displaying the significance of time in an individual’s life, in particularly Lola’s. The film commences with a low angle shot, as the camera plunges into the mouth of the demon on the face of the clock, warning the audience that the characters within it will be swallowed up by time. In this scene, the audience is introduced with the non-diegetic sound of a ticking clock. The fast-forward technique is put in motion continuously throughout the film to remind the…

The next day woke me by the sound of gun fires and our men yelling waking us up. We grabbed our gear and hid behind the rough hills as a shield. It started, as frightened as I already was my friend had just got killed by the blazing bomb. I didn’t know how to feel about it in this rush of survival, so I ran as the next bomb was coming my way. But what could I do about it? I have to protect myself as well. I didn’t put my life at stake I was forced like all the other soldiers. My life is at risk and if I survive I will go home with proud survival guilt. As I had just lost focus of what was happening because I was so shocked thinking this is what war really is; a gun manages to pass through my arm as if I’m not weak already. I fall down to the ground with the scent of dirt southing (soft rustling) through my nose. A blurred vision of my troops fighting was the only other sense apart from the sound of air raid sirens and drones. I can’t believe no one has noticed me, they probably have but don’t…
Clack, clack, clack. That is the noise my feet make when I usher myself up the stairs to safety. By safety, I mean my bedroom. Safe from? Not from the world, this isn’t a narrative about how the world is too hard for me to handle.…
I shuffled across the field watching the running back take the ball running to the right side. I was the only one there to make the tackle Tyler and Kai both got blocked by Lineman and Landon got blocked by a receiver. I ran across the field, we both met at the pylon I only had to hit him out of bounds so I dove……. And I missed. As I fell to the ground my eyes were closed. I opened my eyes and I felt a sharp pain in my right elbow. It felt like my arm had split into 2. I looked over and I saw Landon.I said “ Landon go get the coaches I think I broke my arm.” I thought I had a broken arm. So he looked over at my arm and said “ Oh my gosh.” He started screaming for the coaches saying “Koen hurt his arm! Koen hurt his arm!” As Landon was getting them I was wondering what was going to happen to me. I was about to throw up, I…
It was the first day of summer workouts and we had just got done stretching, we were getting ready to go with our individual coaches. When we were trying to work on inside run game and we needed a full back. I was a pretty big running back and not as fast as some of the others so all of the other players were telling me to play full back. I got mad and didn’t like being told to go to full back so I said “No”. The other guys were saying “you’re way too slow to play running back” and “You have never even played running back why would you try now”, I just took it all in and didn’t say anything. I continued to play running back and try and prove them wrong.…
Bullets flying through the air right over me, my knees are shaking, and my feet are numb. I see familiar faces all around me dodging the explosives illuminating the air like lightning. Unfortunately, numerous familiar faces seem to disappear into the trenches. I try to run from the noise, but my mind keeps causing me to re-illustrate the painful memories left behind.…
“Yes I know you are thinking that how do I know about you. But it’s a secret. Just know that I know about you. And remember to be silent about this secret cause even those oldies don’t know about this. You know those group that oversee each planet and call themselves as GOD. Even they don’t know how to do it.”…
When I was in fifth grade I ran a 5k( 3 miles) which was a good moment for me. It was placed at NC State which was a public event for many different people to do. I went because I thought it was going to be fun with all the people I know. So many people came to the event and we all enjoyed each other. But the thing I liked was that my mom came to watch me run three miles.…
