Lola wins the money at the Casino
-In the casino scene there are many different ways the scene is filmed that tells us about a main idea. The main idea that is expressed in this scene is the fact that Lola seems to posess some strange form of "powers" that allow things to go her way and from the very begining of the scene her "luck" or "powers" are shown. When Lola walks up to the front door to pay her money for her chips she is short of the ammount of money required and also dressed completely informal which is unnapropriate for entry, however despite these factors Lola is given admittance and enters into the Casino and heads to the Roulette wheel. Lola puts her money on number 20(which resembles the 20 minutes she has to find the money and save Manni) and wins once. Luck or more than luck??? but there is more...... Lola then once more puts all her money on number 20 a second time, the croupier spins the wheel and while spinning Lola screams pearcingly smashing glasses around the room and causing everyone in the casino to cover their ears, The wheel slowly spins to a stop on number 20. All these activites contribute to the main idea of Lola's "Powers".

There is great use of contrast in this scene - the contrast as you say between how she and the othe customer looks; between the silence of the casino and her scream...
Shots and angles help develop this contrast - close ups and birds eye views; point of view shots behind the rolling ball...
As you say - she has the power!!!
