      Luc Besson's Science Fiction Elements

      This is a very vulgar movie, the plot is vulgar, and the actors are average. However, the talented director Luc Besson put a lot of things in this film that I haven't seen before, just like the title "The Fifth Element", there is a wonderful element in this film, many of which are things that everyone has never seen before. seen. The details are ingenious and nuanced. In this regard, Luc Besson has achieved transcendence, surpassed his predecessors, and also completed the sci-fi part of his...

      What kind of love should be believed - "The 5th Element"

      Visual animals are often confused by what they see, so it seems to me that some actors' faces are the criteria for judging a movie as worth watching or choosing not to watch. For example, Nicole Kidman, this woman has always maintained an upright posture, which is convincing and sharp inside. Some actors are so personal that they don't interpret the story, but the story develops around them, just to stand out.
      Mila Jovoshevich has a very striking face, and some elements are very similar to...

      Keep improving fried rice - Comments on "The Fifth Element"

      This is an old movie. I watched it in the lecture hall when I was in college. The quality of the video tapes and TV at that time was too poor, and the picture was blurry. Except for the hot sci-fi costume of the heroine, I left no impression. I don't know what I remembered, I found it and looked at it again, and it felt very good.

           The biggest feature of this film is the richness of detail. It's easy to fall into the stereotypes of sci-fi movies, especially the old stories of...

      If I'm like you, simply asking for love, that's enough.


      I admit it was for that bit of porn at first.
      I saw it a long time ago, from the middle part. To be honest, I don't really like such a strong sci-fi genre. But because of the powerful soundtrack, I had to endure and finish it.

      After watching it, I started frantically searching for the title because I wanted to watch it again.

      Accidentally, CCTV6 broadcast.

      My favorite is always the episode in the cabin. All kinds of things are in sight.

      revisit many times

      The first time I saw it was probably when I was in elementary school. I was fortunate enough to see it on TV at the time, from start to finish. Possibly a translation. As long as there are good stories and good scenes when I was a child, it doesn't matter whether the original sound is or not.
      The scene of the film is stunning from the start. Capsule-like cubbyholes seem like our future, along with invisible lanes in the sky. . . Of course, the consistent image of Bruce Willis is...

      Both male and female pig's feet are well chosen (thinking about it, several important actors should be well chosen) What five elements love, save the earth, it's a bit vulgar, but considering that this is the first script written by the director at the age of 16... … plus 4 stars for pot stickers on the...

      The master of science fiction entertainment elements, although Luc Besson's Hollywood test of the water, has made a classic example with intentional settings and comedy elements. Although it still looks outdated, he has little personal interest. The three leading actors have a show but none of them are outstanding. Willis is in charge of the fight, Gary Oldman is in charge of the ticket, and Jovovich, I feel pity, but the whole weight is divided. The dance of the goddess is the most classic,...

      A repaired DVD will be issued. This movie was also an ordinary commercial movie when it was released. In fact, it is a bit reluctant to say that it is a classic, but Luc Besson combines science fiction and suspense. The styling is by Jean Paul Gaultier, but the setting for the fifth element is a bit...
