The key ideas in the film are the ideas of Fate, and what little things that hapen can change the outcome of not only one persons life, but those that encounter that person. for example: On part two of the film Lola runs down the stairs and instead of running faster past the boy and his scary seeming dog that growled at her, the boy tripped her up and she fell down the stairs, and could not run as fast for a while due to the limp, then when she bumped into the old woman carrying her baby, in the flash backs after Lola is sworn at you see that instead of the woman meeting her fate and losing her baby to child services and then dying in a car accident, her fate changes and she then instead wins the lottery and becomes a millionare. What i do not understand in this point in the movie is how Lola being tripped down the stairs changes the fact that the woman does not die and lose her child, she then wins the lottery?!!! how does that work?! Also another key idea is the idea of love, the fact that Lola and Manni stick together and still want to be together even tho Lola sees after being shot in the red filtered dream sequence that the last thing he said to her in it was do you want to leave me?, before she died, and it started again she said no i dont want to leave, this gives the idea that love conqors all. no matter what trouble Manni and Lola seem to get into during the movie they still want to be together, in two out of the three outcomes of this movie they stayed together until one died. Something i do not understand is why neither of them cried, or why Lola didnt scream? she just holds his face without saying a word. would you want to tell the person you love them while watching them die in the middle of the road?! I WOULD!
