Run Side Story Run

After watching Run Lola Run I was struck by the side stories in the narrative. When Lola bumped into someone and it showed the camera flashes of those people lives became one of the most interesting parts of the movie for me. I found myself watching and waiting for her to change their lives in some meaningful way again. These little stories took on a life of their own with just a few flashes and a minute of screen time. They also did not take away from the main story and did not distract you away from the central theme. Those side stories became the favorite part of the movie for me and I wonder if anyone else felt the same?
