this movie is another one of my favorites. not just of the action movies in the world, but of all movies in the world. i adore milla jovovich. and i adore bruce willis (who doesn't?). and i adore gary oldman.
there are fantastically quotable lines like "big bada boom" or "i only speak 2 languages: english and bad english." plus some great future slang, like "super green."
i think the 5th element is the perfect mix of silly and awesome. the choice to have the supreme being as a woman is one i naturally agree with.
i love the weird mugger guy with the stupid hallway hat and the way that leeloo's reconstruction is animated. and who wouldn't want to be able to stick a little pill in the microwave and end up with a whole roasted "tasty chicken"?
mattie mentioned last night that 5th element is like a less creepy version of blade runner. i think this is a pretty accurate assessment, one of the main differences being that blade runner had robots and 5th element had aliens and "evil," but other than that, the settings are pretty similar even though the tones of the movies are drastically different. afterall, blade runner took a much more negative stance on the future than 5th element.
however, i don't believe for one second that korban dallas/bruce willis is really a "one woman type of man."
