      Yes, Gaultier designed the costumes, but his designs - like the sets - were based on the work of French comic artist Moebius. In particular his "Incal" series. The whole movie is like a love letter to his art.

    Fun fact. Ruby Rod was originally imagined to be played by Prince (who turned the role down).

So they showed him a "new" set of designs that were even more extreme so he went with the originals.

    I saw this in the theater when it came out and there was a group of young (high school aged) black guys sitting behind us. In my mind this movie is inseparably linked with their reactions and commentary, which made the movie even more hilarious. For example, in the diva singing scene they were dying laughing, and one of them commented "Oh shit...Octopus lady be twitching..." You probably had to be there, but man I was almost crying I was laughing so much.

    This is one of my favorite Sci-Fi films that isn't Star Wars or Star Trek. Hugely underrated and wildly imaginative. I always love it when I'm in the mood to watch this one because I always walk away feeling satisfied. I love the inspiration director Luc Besson drew from old French Heavy Metal comics, just as Ridley Scott did for 'Alien.' I'm not sure, but I wonder if Ron Cobb worked on the set design for this film as well.

    • @commanderkruge
      @commanderkruge Год назад +6

      He was indeed inspired by Heavy Metal. Specifically by one artist in it: Moebius. The whole set design is pretty much from his "Incal" comic series. (actually Moebius himself worked on the movie as well).
      Moebius (aka Girauld) also worked on Alien - he designed the spacesuits - and on Tron. He did a highly praised Silver Surfer album for Marvel and in the documentary about him ("Moebius Redux" - you can find it here on youtube) you'll hear Stan Lee load the highest praise upon his art.

      That's pretty impressive, given that the woman who plays the Diva, Maiwenn Le Besco, and the woman who sang the song, Inva Mula-Tchako, are two totally different people. Even more impressive since the last part of the song was digitally strung together. It was thought that no human could sing those notes fluidly in such quick succession, so they had Inva sing the individual notes and then they were mixed for the song.
      Not sure who told you this story, but the only performance they were hearing was the playback of the digital mix and the actress acting the song out. I imagine it's hard to disguise lip-syncing on a film set.

    Fascinating reaction. You guys were drawn to the very essence of what Luc Besson is known for: that being the aesthetic. In actual fact, Besson came out of a movement called 'cinema du look' in the 80s and 90s that was known for placing more importance on style & spectacle over narrative. Hence the over stylised sets, costumes and performances that you both loved. One of the things I love about Bessons films is how they are a French persons attempt at bombastic Hollywood and therefore have this weird transatlantic vibe...His masterpiece is probably Leon...which you guys should deffo react to

    In terms of commercial, entertaining films, I think there's not much films better than this. A amazing film.
    Fun fact: while in preproduction, Luc Besson had a year where he had some free time, so, insted of just take some vacations, he used those few months so write, shoot amd edit a much smaller movie, a more simple film, without big productions, big effects, and big budgets. The result was Leon - the Professional, one of the great masterpieces of movie history.

    I so love this movie, great reaction you two. Funny bit of trivia, the costume designers who made the clothing told the Director Chris hated the first outfit he was first shown. So they were told by the Director to make ones that were seriously crazy, and when he said hell no, they could whip out these as less drastic outfits as a compromise. He then agreed to wear them which is what we ended up seeing. lol

      And another funny little thing: none other than the fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier designed the around 300 film costumes himself and many professional Fashion Week models were hired as supporting actors for this film - a fact that of course also characterizes the style of this production and thus achieved cult status for many fans of the genre

    If you want more of the same, watch Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. It's by the same director and based on the same inspiration as this film. Back in the 90s, Luc Besson wanted to make a movie based on a comic character called Valerian, but I think he couldn't get the rights and/or felt that he couldn't do it justice, so he made this film instead. Then in 2017, he got the rights and made an official Valerian movie.

    This films a masterclass in visual style. You have costumes designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier worn by supermodels (Mila Jovovich, who plays Leeloo, was at one time, the highest paid model in the world) and the set design was by legendary artists Jean Giraud (more famously known as Moebius) and Jean-Claude Mézières (another legendary artist who is famous for the graphic novel series Valérian and Laureline). Luc Besson, the director of Fifth Element, would go on to write and direct a Valarian film 20 years later.
    This film was and is amazing to this day for those to aspect alone, and Chris Tucker's outstanding performance 😂
    Originally, Luc Besson wanted Prince to play the role, but they couldn't get him. Tucker has also said he wanted to play the role differently, but was so happy that they told him to play it as they wanted. It remains one of his most favorite roles.

  • @shainewhite2781
    @shainewhite2781 Год назад +8

    One of the craziest Sci Fi Action Adventure films ever made!
    This movie is James Bond meets DIE HARD meets Star Wars meets Metropolis meets Indiana Jones meets Lawrence Of Arabia meets STARGATE!
    Before Chris Tucker was cast as Ruby Rhod, David Bowie, Michael Jackson and Prince were considered for the role, but they all tuned it down as they feared that none would get a bigger paycheck. Even Jamie Foxx was considered for the part, but turned it down, as Foxx thought he was too buff to play th role.
    Tucker's persona was based on all three of the late great artists.

And the editing (I used to be an editor) is OUTSTANDING. Loved watching you two react to this, especially coming in not knowing anything. You are both gems. Such a fun experience, as usual. Thanks!

    This movie is very divisive in the US. Most people love it or think it’s dumb. I’ve always thought this was because the director is French and he brings a very different style of humor to what US sci-fi/action movies are like. I’m curious to see whether you two have a different perspective.

    • @TheMule71
      @TheMule71 Год назад +2

      Quite frankly, it's an execise in French humor, it goes over the head of most Americans (and probably British too). Even the McDonald's scene to an American is just product placement, to an European it is a joke, like in "look in the future we have flying cars but we didn't manage to get rid of McDonald's".

My particular favorite tracks are "Love is worth saving & Protect Life ~ Eric Serra". Check it out.
