Tom Tykwer films

I will be analyzing Cloud Atlas, Run Lola Run, and Perfume The story of a Murderer, these are three films that tom Tykwer made and added in his special flare. To me the main theme that all three films have in common is the hate or the distrust in the world and how it is always changing but equally the same. Another theme I noticed is how each person in these films deals with chance, that deals with the future like how the next events will affect the next couple actions. Last would have to be death or just loss in general. In Cloud Atlas you follow six different lives spread between 200 years. In each one they are making huge change and decisions that will affect their lives. In each one also there is death or loss. People are being killed my natives or shot in the head. This film shows how no matter when you live, freedom is never free and death is never easy. I feel like in Run Lola Run you see this also. Not only does death follow them in the end but it’s the amount of strategy to live, to survive. One wrong move and you’re gone. Perfume has the most death of course but the murders aren’t what make this movie similar. These women died for their scent but that main death is the things that die in himself. Jean-Baptiste Has been alone and unloved his whole life. Never been given love and never really taken care of. He is never taught and through his life his hatred only grows more. At the end all he craves is death. All of these movies have similar themes but are all shot completely differently. Before this assignment I would have never knows these films for done by the same man.
