The first thing that caught my eye was Lola's red hair. It made a statement about Lola's want to stick out and abstain from the norm of society. I do not think it was an accident that Tom Tykwer, the director of the film, chose red to represent the things relating to Lola and yellow for the things relating to Manni. In general red resembles a stopping or being prevented to do something, so when something red appears within the movie it seems to be stopping Lola from getting to Manni. For example right from the beginning scene we see Lola with her red hair pick up a red phone and it is when Lola is on that phone that she learns the trouble Manni is in. Another reddish object that sticks out as something that definitely holds her back is the red ambulance. In opposition, the color yellow seems to reflect Manni's feelings toward robbing the grocery store. Whenever Manni is in the yellow phone booth he not only seems to be trapped by the harsh lines of the phone booth's outline, he also seems to be in a contemplative, cautious state. Even when Manni decides to rob the store in the first scenario, the doors to the store as well as the counters inside the store are yellow perhaps reflecting that Manni's still hesitant about the decision he made. It's this specific graphic editing which guides the audience's eyes toward important parts of the film.
 These bright colors not only stood out to me, but they also made me feel uncomfortable at times. The fact that Lola, the main character, had red hair distracted me, but in a way that made me pay more attention to the film. It is not common to find a movie that stars a character with red hair, but its these colors that are visually powerful. Without these colors the phone, the wig, the phone booth, and the ambulance are just simply objects, but by editing and using vibrant colors the objects hold more of an impact.
