Hokai. I know it's a really old movie, but I love the Fifth Element. AND I WANNA GUSH ABOUT IT, SO DEAL. Hurr.
It's your typical ass-kicking sci-fi, one fella out to save the universe, product of mankind's fascination with justifying his existence somehow. Yeh yeh yeh, I know, but UGH.
The soundtrack is awesome!
Eric Serra's variety, gosh, synth beats all over the place, and at parts you can hear Italian opera and Middle Eastern beats.. It just goddamned works.
Okay, I'll admit opera and ass-kicking are a potential roll-your-eyes combo, but not when it's so well done! :D
The outfits, by Jean *spit and growl your Js* Paul Gaultier, are adorable.
It's better than any idiot line of models trotting, sorry, running down runways.
From the Leeloo's white thermal strap outfit to the orange rubber suspenders, from Zorg's glass cap and his little tipped wig to Ruby's empire dress, his flight attendents' cups (hahah), the Diva's tubey thingies...
Apparently the aesthetics were designed by Jean Giraud and Jean-Claude Mezieres, with "a strong European comic book-like look and feel. (wiki said so.)
Bruce Willis, with a peroxide blonde combover, has the best hair he's ever had. Seriously.
Chris Rock is classic as Ruby! Every scene he's in, people want to slap him!
Hahah. Well. Flight attendents too, if you count the lifting off countdown sequence. Hurhur.
I just loved Milla Jovovich's whole yattering in gibberish nuthead routine.
Again, stereotype of character, being a fragile but perfect creature, but hell. The red dreads contrasted with eyes of pale blue made up for it. Basically, it's a favourite action movie. Not much plot, but well-timed explosions, a great soundtrack, and nice performances.
As a side note to all who know of the 12 days of Indian Christmas, Leeloo Minai Lekarariba-Laminai-Tchai Ekbat De Sebat =yeleven syllable names! :D
