[@hannahdavis5725]

Always loved The Fifth Element. I always thought that sometimes the simpler the story the better the movie as it gives room to flesh out characters and motivations of said characters.

[@johnnym7904]

exactly!!!!

[@treytilley333]

This is actually why I love avatar while many others main complaint is the story

[@uncommonsense7399]

I agree

[@cyruspink6217]

So we're not gonna mention Chris Tucker's amazing role

[@filmcomicsexplained]

This video is about the Mondoshawan mate, and I did not have time to name every character in the movie. Chris tucker was hilarious but he is only in like that last 40 mins of the film, unlike everyone else I named who were central to the plot from the beginning :)

[@cyruspink6217]

FilmComicsExplained your right no hard feelings he just was one of my favorite parts

[@filmcomicsexplained]

Mine too! OMG I had to pause the film and almost peed my pants with laughter whenever he spoke :)

[@dragonsword7370]

That character was a live him or hate him divisive. He's my guilty pleasure though.

[@c.galindo9639]

He played a diva spotlight celebrity

[@TearDownGenesis]

No one seems to realize that Love is the Fifth Element, not the girl.

[@filmcomicsexplained]

interesting theory mate :)

[@michaelbrandonpage4929]

I always thought that the fifth element is perhaps life itself thinking about it the four elements are all a part of life earth water fire and Air the 5th could be considered life

[@danextrinsic0174]

Live Yummy except her powers didnt activate at the end of movie until she was kissed with "Love". Im pretty confident she was just a catalyst for life and love, which together are the fifth element i think.

[@trumanbase]

@Live Yummy the preist told her that when he was worshiping her, the fifth element taken with the stones in the begginig was clearly mostly if not completely human as seen with the fist left used to reconstruct the rest but for some reason had some kind of armor like shell and then lelu didn't. I would think that was for some kind of storage/stasis. but also no one seems to notice how if they just left everything where it was they would have avoided all that trouble because there was no war that came like they said in the beginning, there were the wars we've had with each other, and maybe someone would've stolen the stones, but they clearly said war is coming. in 3000 years. and then we fast forward to 3000 years in the future, and also there would be no movie, so.

[@ZASurvivalist]

TearDownGenesis well.. her love holes anyway.

[@ezeakiodarmey9448]

Gary Oldman will always be one of the best actors of his generation. The way he just dives into a role is truly amazing.

There’s a decent amount of Lore if you pay attention, though. Like Leeloo being who she was is purely luck. She could have literally been ANYONE on Earth. More stuff like that if you look!

[@ljdelaney2286]

Are you serious? Too******

[@cleanerben9636]

I always liked the juxtaposition of the Mondoshowan, an extremely ancient and highly technological/cybernetic race using a mystical, super-natural weapon to fight a primordial being. Cool that.

[@high_maintenance]

Reminds me of the Chariot card in the Steampunk tarot deck ❤

[@benjaminroe1900]

I still love watching the fight scene with Lelu during the opera one of the best scenes of all time

Yes it is pretty badass!

[@carlosandleon]

pretty forgettable movie tho

[@retagainez]

@@carlosandleon Not a bad thing. Makes it rewatchable if you enjoyed it.

[@12Mantis]

The Fifth Element? A wonderful film that will be remembered alongside other such amazing sci-fi classics whenever someone in a group is discussing the concept of "lightning in a bottle" where everything from the story to the studio crew to the director to the actors and finally the special effects just mesh perfectly to create a truly entertaining story.

Fifth Element is still one of my favorite movies.

[@filmcomicsexplained]

Yeh mine too!

[@quantumquestthebillionaire1527]

The fifth element great film so good i'm gonna watch it straight after posting this .. A couple of years ago i was on holiday in mexico and met a guy who played one of Zorgs body guards,you know all dressed in lycra with a stupid plastic hat kinda thing,his name was Shaun Davis a body builder,told a few great story's about the cast and what they got up to of camera.....

[@MR3DDev]

How about a film explained of Apollo 18? Movie was not well received but for sci fi lovers is a very interesting concept

[@filmcomicsexplained]

Hey mate, I havent seen it yet, but I'l l add it to the list and give it a re-watch :)

[@Soldier4USA2005]

I typically hate found footage movies, as they're usually just a ton of shaky camera shots to falsely create a sense of action or suspense. But "Apollo 18" actually sold itself because the shaky camera was done at moments that made sense and not because it was just some random tool holding a shitty camera from target's bargain bin...like in "Cloverfield".

[@MR3DDev]

Yeah I found that movie to be very entertaining and it had a good concept. Another movie like that (but not found footage) is the Europa Report, is on NEtflix

[@Soldier4USA2005]

Europa Report is awesome. And it's technically found footage because it's mostly a recording sent to NASA (or whatever the movie's equivalent is). Whatever. Doesn't matter either way because it's a great movie. I believe whatever they're trying to tell me because it's done in a way that makes sense. There is very little tech that doesn't exist today and the tech that doesn't, isn't so different that we can't make an association with current tech. Even the time-lapses make sense, given how fast they're going and where they're going to.

[@asgardiangod23]

The movie was so great. To me it felt like it was echoing or more like, predicting our State of Mind as a whole. A lot of the characters are anxious Skitty easily scared... And that's kind of what we're going towards as a society. Especially the anxiety part

All this time, I never realized what the fifth element actually _was._ After watching the movie recently and then listening to this, I’ve finally figured it out. The fifth element is life.

[@elchasai]

it is love.

[@stran92129]

one of my favorite sci fi, you forgot to mentioned the costumes, having a real designer like Jean Paul Gaultier, made it so vivid and alive, like watching runway models but in a movie, and Tucker just brings it home, never heard of the actor/comedian before the film but thought he played it perfectly! ...thx for reminding me of the film and how awsome it was, still is.

"The fifth element" visual layout was superbly done -just like the original BD The Long Tomorrow, whereas 'Valerian' wasted resources and got nowhere soon without a plot, IMHO .

[@evantobias1023]

Most memorable sci-fi movie I remember from the nineties !! Started me on the genre I love today !!

[@leosrule5691]

Its odd, ive seen the "fifth Element" several times but never remember seeing the very beginning. Well, today i was scrolling youtube for a movie and thought id get Ant Man & the Wasp but instead the user posted the "Fifth Element" - dubbed in Hindi. So i had no idea what i was watching but was very interested to find out. Then i saw Bruce Willis. Then i knew, but still had no idea of very beginning. So i searched for it in English and stumbled across THIS post. Well, i must sincerely thank you for explaining the whole thing to me. Even though ive seen it, i now realize that i never did realize what the whole movie was actually about. All i remember was the girl & Bruce running around getting into (or out of) trouble. Maybe its time to watch it again with "new eyes and a fresh perspective" - thanks to you and your excellent breakdown!!!

[@jenniferloving9054]

Wow! One of my favorite sci-fi movies!

[@sootmancer9851]

thank you for making this one!! The Fifth Element is one of my top 5 movies of all times I got a bit hyped when I heard that the same guy was making a new sci-fi movie (valerian) but when I watched it i pretty much just felt disappointed, i didn't think it would be just as good but Valerian is so, so extremely bad imo.. and altho you talking about it might be a bit of a side-track from a video about The Mondoshawan, im happy to hear a bit of your opinions on that movie too :b as always, thank you for the video!

[@nomusicrc]

Fifth Element is one of my all time favourite movies. It's such a great blend of Scifi, action and comedy. I really struggled with Valerian, none of the characters felt relatable or even likeable.

[@MichaelLaferriere]

Anyone who has seen 1981's "Heavy Metal" will recognize the plot from the Harry Canyon skit. Futuristic taxi driver, a great evil etc. And both are awesome movies!

This has been my favorite movie since the first time I saw it... major "comfort food" that I rewatch all the time😂 Unfortunately I also had high hopes for Valerian. I saw the first scene and was moved to tears (and still am!), but after that it was just a steady decline.

I think you’re forgetting the most important character in the movie, Ruby Rhod played by chris tucker “Korben!? Koreben!? Korben!?” “Omg omg omg omg omg” “Bzzzzzz” It’s probably one of his greatest roles

[@chrisware9265]

Valerian was alright. I'm a sucker for ott Scifi like that. I wasn't bored at any point. The space station montage at the beginning was a work of art.

Actors in fifth element were more lovable and well established from other move hits, Bruce Willis, funny as hell from movie "Friday" Chris Tucker, super acting for Oldman and the Resident Evil girl. You can't with that line up. If it were on now I'd still watch the whole thing.
