      I'm not so sure. The hand they found looked like it was holding a control lever from the ship that crashed. Maybe they all look similar to her (ie humanoid) and are just wearing big suits. I think the statue was just a way to carry the stones.

  • @TSIRKLAND
    @TSIRKLAND Год назад +74

    One of the clever things I love about this movie is the dialogue that shifts from one scene to another. The lines that make prefect sense within their own context, but also mesh seamlessly with the conversation going on in an entirely different place. Like Zorg being upset about the missing stones and Leeloo describing where they are. That whole conversations- those two conversations- wind back and forth so well. And it happens other times, as well. Very cleverly done. I've never seen it done quite this way, or this well, anywhere else.

    Neat little factoid: 62 miles above the Earth is where the atmosphere ends and Space begins. The priest was played by Ian Holm, aka Bilbo Baggins in "The Lord Of The Rings" movies and as a supervisor in the movie "Brazil", which you should check out, since you liked "The Fifth Element" so much. I enjoyed your reaction, it was very real.

    I'm so glad to see you react to this movie, it's one of my all-time favorites! Directed by the crazy French director Luc Besson, and featuring a standout performance by Gary Oldman, it seems as Luc gives Gary the permission to go completely crazy in his roles, as he did before with "Leon: The Professional."

    Fun Fact: Before Milla Jovovich was cast as Leeloo, Luc Besson originally wanted to cast Julia Roberts in the role, along with Mel Gibson playing Korben Dallas and the Singer, Prince playing Ruby Rhod, and I think production was set for 1992 but I think due to financial issues, production was delayed. Whilst Luc Besson was casting for the role of Leeloo, Elizabeth Berkley (Jessie from 'Saved by the Bell' and Nomi Malone from 'Showgirls') auditioned for the role.
    Side note: Before Gary Oldman was cast, I want to know who Luc Besson maybe originally had in mind for the role of Zorg.

    • @vinsgraphics
      @vinsgraphics Год назад +5

      I saw an interview with Oldman where he said he was doing Luc a favor (Luc also did “Leon: The Professional” with Oldman). But Oldman is not a fan of his own work in 5thE. He’s a moody sort.

    It always has to be mentioned: It's one of the rare moments where a time bomb's countdown actually takes place in real time (at least until the last 5 seconds part, where Gary Oldman's character pauses it, of course). It just adds so much to the feeling of time running out, compared to countless other movies where it somehow seems they have too much and too little time at the same time. :)

    • @regould221
      @regould221 Год назад +1

      Several references to the #5 in the Movie. There are five elements (obviously), Zorg stops the bomb when there are five seconds remaining on the timer, Korben’s license has five points left on it, and Ruby Rhod’s show starts at five o’clock.

    @Deegee_1969 Год назад +4

    A few more names that you might recognise... the archeologist at the start was John Bluthal (also seen in the Vicar of Dibley), Zorgs henchman "Right arm" was the rapper 'Tricky', the priest was Ian Holm (also played "Ash" in 'Alien'), the artist at the start was Luke Perry (was also in "Beverley Hills, 90210"), the scientist early on was Christopher Fairbank (was also one of the two low-life bad guys in Batman (from 1989), as well as "Moxy" in 'Auf Weidersen Pet', and "The Broker" in 'Guardians of the Galaxy'), and the general was Brion James (also played "Leon" in 'Bladerunner').
    The operatic song is known as "The Diva Dance", and only a handful of operatic singers can sing it correctly as it was purposefully written to be unsingable by humans.
    Oh, and Corben Dallas and Mr Zorg never actually meet, regardless of Zorg giving the instruction to an aide to fire a large number of employees... Corben being one of them.

    The hat of the burglar was a photo of the empty hall from the position of the Corbyn Dallas's door peephole. He placed the hat in just the right position so that when Corbyn Dallas looked through the door peephole after the doorbell was rang he saw an empty hall. Thus Corbyn opened the door not knowing someone was stood outside armed.

    The hat on the neighbor thief's head was a picture of the empty hallway.

    This is one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time. Some fun tid bits for you:
    The language Leeloo speaks is a fully developed language. Milla learned it in it's entirety for the role. Her full name is Leeloominaï Lekatariba-Lamina-Tchaï. The "Ekbat de Sebat" at the end of her name is a title meaning "The honorable". Her name in the language roughly translates to "Precious Stone of the Earth, Defender of Light and Life"
    The Aria that the Diva Plavalaguna sings was performed by Inva Mula. She recorded the song in full then in post production they keyed a synth with each note she recorded from the section with the super rapid note changes and swapped that portion out as the changes occur faster than the human body can produce the sounds. The Aria is a testament to her range and capabilities as a singer and performer.
    Great reaction and I can't wait to see you finish the "Band of Brothers" series.

    Mila Jovovich is pronounced Mee-luh Yo-vo-vitch. Y, in place of the 'J' sound.
    ••••
    "Major Iceborg" is indeed supposed to look like a 'fat Princess Leia' - the hairstyle is this film's tip-of-the-hat to the famous Star Wars character.
    ••••
    I think the idea was that Leeloo's "first" body (which we never got to see) was inside the sarcophagus taken by the Mandoshiwans (the mechanized aliens) early in the film.
    ••••
    I think Korben kissed Leeloo, because of the VERY strange circumstances up until then: He was looking for 'the perfect woman' and the literal 'Perfect Woman' just so happens to crash into his cab. Then she passes out, and then he learns that she's "mankind's most precious possession." Did some unseen Power cast him in the role of Alpha Male hero/Prince Charming? Maybe his role was to wake 'Sleeping Beauty' with a 'magic kiss'? Korben has a romantic side. His conclusion was mistaken, but come now: was he REALLY an idiot for arriving at that conclusion?
    ••••
    When Ruby Rhod lets out that huuuge, long, high-pitched 'girl-scream,' it'd be interesting to know if that was really Chris Tucker's voice, or did they dub in an artificial scream, to make it sound more ridiculous?
    ••••
    Ruby Rhod gets my vote as maybe the best scene-stealing character of all time. Second place probably goes to Billy Crystal as Miracle Max, in The Princess Bride.

    one of my favorite films. I just hate the fact it got panned at the time and I missed it on the big screen. Mila and the director did create the language and spoke to each other using it constantly throughout the making of the film, on and off set. After this I had such high hope for Valerian, sadly the main casting was totally hopeless and let the movie down in a big way.

      Yeah, I love this movie as well. It's a shame Valerian was a flop, because it was pretty good. The two main leads were badly miscast though. They had no chemistry at all. It also didn't help that it wasn't marketed very well.

    When the trailer was released they didn't have Bruce Willis signed yet. I remember seeing it in the movies and thought that was so odd we never saw the star of the film. It is such a great and eclectic cast. Mila and Chris Tucker were still relative unknowns. Willis, Oldman and Holm must be the oddest triad to put in a movie together and they are awesome. It was great to see Tom Lister as the President because they always had him play big scary villains but he was great.
    The guy you thought you recognized was Brion James. He was a character actor in a lot of movies. Everyone usually remembers him as the first replicant that dies in Blade Runner.

    "It is like Star Wars." Well, if you're thinking of the flying cars in a bustling city like we saw in Attack of the Clones, remember that that came out in 2002, while this is from 1997.
    The movie started in 1914, and then it said "300 years later" which would make it 2214, but I've heard suggestions for other years in the 2200s.
    It definitely took some inspiration from more avant garde science fiction comics like Heavy Metal as well as Valerian. He later had a direct adaption with Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. It might also be worth a watch, though it has its problems and was not a financial success.

    There are so many details and quirks in this movie it's impossible to catch and appreciate them all in a single watch. Hell, watching it 20 times I was still catching stuff I didn't notice before. For instance, fun fact: The antagonist and protagonist never meet. On a side note, when someone asks me what my favorite movie is, this is one of the first that comes to mind.
