Blow On It!! The Fifth Element (1997) | FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@Psi105]

Ah yes, The Fifth Element, a movie that 50% of people love, and 50% who can't figure out why the other 50% love it.

[@Zireael83]

yeah, saw some reactions in the last weeks and all are giving some mediocre ratings, just to not piss of their viewers who wanted the reaction, even if they didn´t lie it at all. and then there are people like me that love the movie and would easily giv it a 5/5, as it, without a doubt, is one of the best scifi movies ever made ^^ don´t understand why it gets so much hate from so many people

[@milannesic5718]

Because this is one of the silliest movies ever. There is a difference between "does not take itself seriously" and just plain silly and idiotic. Reactors can't say anything negative about it, to not lose subscribers. Usually this kind of movies are turned off after 10 minutes. But I guess when it is big budget and known cast, people will not hate. Hate is reserved towards other movies, with much less known cast and directors, and lower budget

[@joshuasharrock466]

@@milannesic5718 I think the point the original commenter was making was about the very end of the movie. When you look at how bissflix reacted to the end of the movie she's one of the 50% of the people that can't figure out why everybody loves it. If you've watched enough of her videos though you can tell that she's not a lovey dovey type person. To her it's baby talk it has no meaning.. And yes to a lot of people, love really doesn't do much because it doesn't put food on the table... The 50% of the people that love it are gullible idiots like me that believe in love. that's the only point that I think he was making

Luc Besson and Milla Jovovich invented Leeloo's language but didn't tell anyone. So in the taxi scene Bruce Willis really was surprised and improvised his lines.

[@МихаилМедведев-м9р]

I must write that the film was shot in 1997. And it was truly revolutionary. Back then no one filmed like that. He made a whole bunch of TV series and films in a similar style. But it is still a wonderful example... Now such a plot is not surprising, but in 1997 this had not yet happened.

[@cybermouse8]

Valerian: The City of a Thousand Planets is the movie Luc Besson wanted to make when he first made The Fifth Element, but the technology didn't yet exist. So doing the best with what was available at the time, he made this, definitely revolutionary in its own way and for its time. If you watch Valerian you can see the same DNA. Both movies were based off the same source material, a graphic novel.

[@МихаилМедведев-м9р]

@@cybermouse8 This film is a kind of cyberpunk development, but in a comedic form. Films like Blade Runner 1982 and Highlander had similar worlds that were dark. But here a lighter NOIR is shown. With elements of comedy, fashion and brand advertising.

Just popping in to give my usual fun fact for this movie. The actor who plays the police officer who spills his McDonalds drink over him, then crashes into the McDonalds truck during the chase - his name is Mac McDonald. I can only guess that this was intentional.

[@bidwell13]

Luc Besson (the writer director) wrote this in high school as a hero taxi driver cause his dad had a second job driving a taxi. 13:00 Bruce Willis adlibbed this line. The director didn’t tell Bruce that Mila was going to be speaking a different language in the cab. 25:48 if you watch Bruce Willis during the “All Night Long” song he’s trying not to laugh at Chris Tucker. 28:57 I love how his mom finds him wherever he goes. 30:16 the look on Bruce Willis’s face was genuine. He hadn’t heard the song before and was moved by the song and performance. The woman on stage is lipsyncing and practiced 30 times a day for three months to get it right. Luc Besson’s fiancé at the time got the role cause the original actress didn’t show up. The creatures helping Zorg are Mangalores and their animatronics were reused in Star Wars Episode 1 for the Neimoidians.

[@flinx]

People watching it today will never understand in 1997 how amazing the future New York looked with flying cars and skyscrapers a kilometer tall. We'd never seen that before. Maybe a sci-fi drawing, but never in movies and never looking so plausibly photo realistic.

[@EfftupSmith]

We'd seen it in Judge Dredd in 1995, and in Blade Runner in 1982, just to name 2. (even if Blade Runner is actually set in LA)

[@flinx]

@@EfftupSmith A lot of us didn't watch Judge Dredd considering the box office results. Blade Runner in the dark really impressed, but wasn't the same as NY in daylight.

[@Joshu_Y]

This movie came at a time when people were anticipating the new (prequel) Star Wars movies (and the Special Editions were just released), looking back fondly on movies like Blade Runner, and CG was just starting to get somewhat realistic looking. For sc-fi cinema nerds (like myself), this movie was a tall glass of water in the desert, especially for the guys - it had futuristic/cyberpunk sci-fi, Bruce Willis playing Die Hard in Space, a Gary Oldman villain, a fantasy element, aliens, a sense of humor and sexy girls everywhere. It was the perfect late 90's sci-fi action movie. It was like Star Wars for kids who were now 20-something kids. Now, it seems like not such a big deal, after so many great similar movies just as good or better that have come out since... but at the time this was really impressive... and needed. Cinematically speaking - FX might be a bit dated but still some the best sound design ever and an excellent soundtrack to boot. And the scene choreography/editing is just always fun to watch.

[@dracoargentum9783]

One problem I have with this movie is that a big part is when Leeloo finally looked up “war” she gave up, humanity was unsavable, even though she had already seen terms like “atomic bomb” or “torture” or “holocaust” earlier in alphabetical order.

[@philipstoddard1502]

It's helpful to understand that the movie is by Luc Besson. His French influence to this production gives it a Cirque du Soleil flavor. It's performance art disguised as a movie. It's not everyone's cup of tea and many who love the movie don't even make this connection. But, I just like to point it out as this movie has been an acquired taste for me, despite my baked in bias for all things French. Also, don't take it too seriously. It's still just a movie.

5/5 for me, saw it over 100 times from young age. Best synthesis of Luc Besson and Hollywood!

[@RocketSurgn_]

The language is great, it has an “interesting” story too- the director Besson came up with it and worked on the language with Leeloo’s actress Mila Jovovich who helped refine it so they could have full conversations with the about 400 words. To practice it they had conversations on set (that no one else understood)… which led to them flirting in the language… and then Besson left his wife for Jovovich. His wife, by the way, was the actress that plays the Opera Singer Diva.

[@RocketSurgn_]

I really like his movies but as a person Besson was… not great. The wife he left for Jovovich, his second, has said Leon the Professional was partly based on their relationship and the similarities are… really not good.

Some fun facts about the movie: The Fifth Element, Leeloo, is former super model Milla Jovovich. They couldn't find their Diva in casting, so Luc Besson turned to his own wife, another super model: Maïwenn Besco. 👍

[@RocketSurgn_]

Yyyeah, that was a very messy set. Especially if you know Maiwenn has said Leon was partly inspired by the start of her relationship with Besson (which I just stumbled across myself).

At the time when this came out, Bruce Willis was a box office dynamo, like everything he was in, he was knocking out of the park. One of the previous movies he previously was in Armageddon and it was a world hit. So then came a running joke, about any movie that he was in, (What is he going to do to save the planet this time?) It was a strange coincidence that Hollywood seemed to hear what people were talking about, so they decided to answer that question, by putting out this movie.

For me, this is one of those movies that gets better on rewatch. It's very silly, and it does a lot of cliches, but it's also creative in odd ways. For instance, you said you thought he had the cigarette in his mouth the wrong way, but it was a cigarette with an ultra-long filter and almost no tobacco portion ... for your safety. As for Chris Tucker, IMO, it's practically his best role. Also, it's different because the aesthetic is French. If you see other French scifi, you might see some similarities.
