Abstract
The film dialogues in the multiple German award-winning film “Run Lola, run” (Lola
rennt) from 1998, directed by Tom Tykwer, show an interesting trajectory in the
creation and shaping of the identity of the main characters. Analyzing the dialogues
of the characters, it can be noticed that they contribute to the development of the
narrative and actively participate in the construction of their complex identities. Ob-
serving specific dialogues, it is noticeable how the language used by the characters and
their choice of words, tone, as well as the context in which the dialogues take place,
serve as powerful tools in the creation of identity. Interesting repetitive dialogue se-
quences shape a specific relationship between the characters. It is noticeable how film
dialogues reflect broader social and cultural identities and contribute to the discourse
on identity within film art. The research seeks to provide insight into the complex
interaction between language, identity and film narrative, demonstrating how “Run
Lola, Run” uses dialogue not only as a narrative mechanism but also as a means of
research and presentation of identity.
