End of Run Lola Run

Yesterday we finished watching the film Run Lola Run. Lola Tries three times to complete a task. The first attempt she is killed and the second attempt her boyfriend is killed. On the third attempt they get it right and not only are but also end up making a hundred grand. My professor pointed out something obvious but that I had not thought about until he mentioned it. The movie was much like a video game. If you fail the task and die you just restart and try again, but this time with more knowledge about what needs to be done to be successful. Since video games are huge these days I'm guessing that is an easy metaphor for people to understand.
