Abstract
- Using Run Lola Run as an example of hyper-filmic or alternative-ending movies that go back to Kurosawa's Rashomon (1950), this article suggests that these and future films will inevitably present multiple endings that are to be accepted simultaneously in spite of their incongruities. This multiplicity of options is the result of the easily available resources made possible by the Web, as well as the latest advances in supersymmetrical physics. Moreover, these new discoveries, taken together with the worldviews such discoveries engender, are connected with Nietzsche's ideas about eternal recurrence and to the cyclical vision of the world first envisioned in Hindu philosophy.
