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 heroes saving the world with mediocre plots. But the details of this film are too rich, from the mottled patent leather of the sci-fi residence after 50 years, to the noisy future radio host, people are overwhelmed, lost in the vast sea of ​​details, and can't feel the old age of the plot set.

It's just that the image of the alien thugs is somewhat similar, too similar to the alien thugs in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", I don't know who copied whom, or who paid tribute to whom.

All in all, "The Fifth Element" is a film that deserves to be revisited from time to time. Just like a bowl of egg fried rice, although there are no expensive raw materials and no cumbersome cooking process, it has been refined, and it is also very good to eat every day.

The Fifth Element quotes

  • Zorg: I hate warriors, too narrow-minded. I'll tell you what I do like though: a killer, a dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold blooded, clean, methodical and thorough. Now a real killer, when he picked up the ZF-1, would've immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun.

    [Scene shifts to Aknot, who is staring in confusion at the little red button. He shrugs and pushes it]

    Zorg: [Casually smokes a cigarette as the room with the Mangalores blows up] Bring me the priest.

  • President Lindberg: [phone call from President to Korben Dallas] Major Dallas, I first would like to salute a warrior, you are a shining example of this Army's might, in the name of the Federation and it's territory...

    Korben Dallas: Mr. President, Mr. President, any idea when you gonna be getting to the point?

    President Lindberg: O.K. There's a ball of fire, it's 1200 miles in diameter headin straight for Earth, and we have no idea how to stop it. *That's* the problem.

    Korben Dallas: [sighs] How long do we have?

    Scientist's Aide: [off the President's look] If its speed remains constant, in an hour and fifty-seven minutes.

    Korben Dallas: I'll call you back in two hours.
