I had never seen it until my mom got it in the mail from Amazon.com or whatever and she came up to me with this movie in her hands and she was like "You HAVE to watch this movie!" My mom saw it years ago and she loved it so much she bought it. My mom doesn't buy movies. So I decide that yeah Ill give it a try and watch it. I was intrigued by the setting and the plot. I really enjoy movies that have that "Retro-Futuristic" feel. This movie definitely did.
The relationship/friendship between Bruce Willis(Korben Dallas) and Milla Jovovich(Leeoo) really caught my attention. It was until the third or so time I've seen it I realized that the Fifth Element was Love. Chris Tucker(Ruby Rhod) was kind of annoying but he had his times of importance and was a good light-hearted addition to the movie.
Of course who can resist the Diva Plavalaguna(Maïwenn Le Besco. Music by Gaetano Donizetti)? Her enchanting song played well with the more up-beat music that choreographs(right word?) well with the fight. The 45 second or so segment of the Diva was to short even though she did play an important roll (carrying the stones).
Milla Jovovich(Leeloo) is one of my favorite actresses (along with Michelle Rodriguez in Resident Evil 2002). Watching The Fifth Element definitely strengthened my respect for her work.
I HIGHLY recommend this movie to anyone. Weither you like Sci-Fi or not. Watch it!
