I'd spend way too much time       stop-starting those films so that I could have time to read those things       properly.               But Run Lola Run is mostly action. the dialog is short and easy to glance at       the subtitle and get back to the visual. I remember watching that thing       several times. First, primarily to get the "story" in dialog, and then next to       enjoy the filming and artistry.               The film gets off to a fast build-up of excitement within the first 5       minutes. Lots of running scenes with the camera following the action. It       feels like a wild ride. Consequences of "correction" trigger new       consequences. Very funny too.              --- tg2fido gate v0.6.1        * Origin: Telegram to fido gate by Stas Mishchenkov (2:460/58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 123/131 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 275       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 550 664 1016 240/5832 249/206 317 400 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 633/280       PATH: 460/58 640/1384 221/1 280/464 229/101 426           |
