Still one of the most unique and innovative visions of sci-fi in the history of cinema that, I dare say, has never come close to being imitated or bettered. So much other big budget stuff looks the same (especially now) but The Fifth Element remains unmatched and truly unique.

[@Crazyuncle1]

This movie is at the top of my ‘escape’ list right along side “Total Recall”, “Independence Day”, “Day the earth stood still” and “War of the worlds”. Another great one is “The Time Machine”. All the originals not the remakes.

[@samogx86]

The Time Machine is wonderful. The others are very good too. My favorite one is different but I agree with your list.

[@IronThreads333]

Never knew if they killed that professor. As a kid I just thought they gently put him to sleep, being the good guys and all.

[@XeonProductions]

That's what I thought. Why kill him if they're taking the stones and fifth element with them?

[@deviant_alleviant]

Did they actually kill him? Do we know this for certain? Luke Perry's character just ran up and proclaimed that the professor was dead; he didn't even check the professor's pulse or see if he was breathing.

[@Chicky_Lumps]

Never seen the movie but it looks pretty clear in the clip he just fainted from how incredible what was going on was?

[@Lorfo11]

@@Chicky_Lumps No, he is put to sleep by one of the Mondoshawans (glowing eyes, looking at the professor). Probably not dead though.

[@semplar2007]

such an advanced alien race with a technology able to kill the ultimate evil and valuing life even more than time, surely knows how to put a human asleep instead of killing them, right ?

[@LudosErgoSum]

Such a great way to establish the stakes, the participants and their relationship. Absolute masterpiece of storytelling!!! Nothing made in modern times even comes close to this - the art of storytelling is dead...

I saw this at the movie theater in SoHo, New York City. You hear the rumbling of the subway and it really adds such an effect to the movie!

"The Fifth Element" was a great movie, but it was also a different kind of movie! I saw it when it first came out in the theaters many years ago, it has problem been over a decade or so ago. I still like it and i remember it right off the bat, like it was yesterday. It was a special kind of sci-fi movie with action, comedy, and even some dramatic moments.

I assume that in the script, he was meant to be totally crushed by the entire corridor squeezing shut, but it proved impractical to build the set that way.

Mondoshawan gets trapped but later when they reopen the crypt there is no sign of it, did he escape or was it just poor continuity in the movie?

[@ccgardner1]

If I remember correctly, there was no return to the crypt. They carried away the sarcophagus and it was recovered from their crashed ship 300 years later (on the moon?).

[@ccgardner1]

Oops, you're right, they did return. I'm willing to give the filmmakers the benefit of the doubt and assume the priest, as concerned about hiding the secret as he was, returned and remover the alien's body. Maybe Aziz and his friends helped.

Yes, Leelu is the perfect being, but the fifth element is love.

[@Valerie-ip8zb]

The fifth Element is the union of the male and female principle, divine spark of the ongoing Life in the middle of the four Elements. Luc Besson is a Freemanson and his movies are an initiation of first degree. But you have the same story building in the Brother Grimm’s tales, for example.

[@1971agent]

The ending of that scene never made sense to me. 1 - what was the rush? 2 - how did a couple of bullets trigger the stone wall to close? 3 - why didn't they just open the stone wall again? 4 - where was the alien body when they returned to the tomb 300 years later?

[@Techtablets]

I guess they had to leave in 5 minutes or miss a wormhole. But same here such a plot loop hole and mess really. Made no sense and the body we can assume was removed by the cult protecting them so everything was hidden and covered up.

It's amazing how "diverse" 90s movies were. No quotas, no ultimatums. Just pure talent.

[@yucol5661]

It was intentional tough, even in the 90s, this was not just talent. They were called very nasty names for choosing to show such a diverse future. Look at how star trek had to go the extra mile to make a diverse cast against criticism. People back then were even more racist. Artists and directors have been trying to do better and help society through using diverse actors for decades, and people raged about it and hated them for being “woke” and their older equivalents for decades. We just forget about all that and only remember some snippets of the past. We remember hippies but we forget the larger conservative backlash. We remember suffrage but forget women’s oppression. We remember the emancipation proclamation more than the failure of reconstruction. It’s just easier to understand if you simplify and flatten history

[@wikipediaintellectual7088]

​@@yucol5661 It was intentional in much smaller amounts and less so at the expense of quality. The backlash against them was therefore not nearly as robust. The backlash should have been more robust in most of the situations that you mentioned.

[@navilluscire2567]

Do people just not remember that bad movies existed back then to or are you just that not self aware? Like seriously, there's good movies now and back then but some people just seem to want to focus on the bad because, I guess you'd rather complain and be bitter.​@@wikipediaintellectual7088

[@navilluscire2567]

No quotas? As in you get upset that films nowadays have on average more diverse casts from different ethnic, cultural and sexuality backgrounds. And even then the majority of actors are still caucasian, likely coming from some sect of Christianity, and heterosexual. What exactly is an 'ultimatum' here? Do you even hear yourself when you say or (rather) type out this stuff?

I’ve heard the idea that the Mondoshawans are an aquatic species, using spacesuits of their design. Amazing to think about.

Or did they just figure that they had what they came for and as a kid no one would believe him anyway if he went blabbing about what he saw? Or did the priest swear/persuade/bribe him and the other kids to secrecy never to speak about what happened? This is one of my all time favorite movies in visuals, story, acting, soundtrack.
