THE FIFTH ELEMENT (1997) FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

❤BIBLE VERSES OF THE DAY❤ Philippians 3:12-14 NIV 12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

It is one of the best sci fi movies ever without a doubt.

This is a rare movie. The hero/protagonist never interacts with the bad guy/antagonist. Yet, it's a crazy entertaining movie. Love your reactions, keep it up!

17:50 - If you want to see more Chris Tucker goodness, check out Friday (1995), and the Rush Hour trilogy. 27:26 - No, it's not a spoof. This movie was made possible by the directorial vision of Luc Besson, costume designer Jean-Paul Gaultier, and comic artists Jean Girard and Jean-Claude Mézières. It's 100% OG.

One of the best movies out there to just enjoy, it goes the extra mile in not being normal, and it works perfectly.

President Lindbergh is the late, great Tiny Lister. I had the great pleasure of meeting him on the set of a low budget movie where I was on the crew and he was a supporting actor. Mr. Lister was one of the good ones. Friendly and easy to work with, not to mention talented. I wish there were more actors like him. Rest In Peace, Tiny Lister.

One of my favorite older movies, such a crazy vibe!

Costume design was by Jean Paul Gaultier with a $90m budget, the most expensive production outside the US at the time, 1,000 pieces were designed by Gaultier for the film (including the costumes for all the extras - all of the aliens were dressed in couture), amounting to over 10 fashion collections for one movie.

This movie is pure awesomeness. Luc Besson definitely has his strong sense of design they deviate strongly from typical scifi productions at the time that were mostly us made.

This is one of my all time favorite movies. I know I’ve seen it probably at least 50 times and it never gets okd

This one always catches people off guard lol Once you know what you are watching it is a super fun movie 🙂

This is such a fun movie. It's good that it made you feel you were being spoofed, there is nothing quite like it. When I was watching the last Justice being interviewed for SCOTUS this movie came to mind. She said she couldn't answer a question because she wasn't a biologist; and I just wanted Gary Oldman to pop in and say, "You can still count."

Not a spoof! Just a very imaginative brightly colored future. It’s a cult classic, very loved. Do you recognize Zorg, or Southern Bad Guy? He also played Sirius Black from Harry Potter. That man is a chameleon… him and Kevin Kline, I adore them both.

"I don't understand what I just watched" is a fair first-time reaction, LOL. Then everyone grows to love it.

This movie is 🔥

Gary Oldman is one of the best actors to portray a villain. His roll in this movie, The Professional, and Dracula are great.

Hey Gabrielle... That you are doing this one is so cool. I love this one.👍 Okay...Here's a bit of background. Director Luc Besson had been working on the story since he was a teenager in France. He even created a complete language, which Leeloo speaks, for the story. Before he was able to make this he made some incredible action films like 'La Femme Nikita' and 'Leon: The Professional' which introduced Natalie Portman and also starred Gary Oldman. This story is a tiny bit on the thin side. It was partially influenced by 'Star Wars' but mainly influenced by comic books by artists Jean "Moebius" Giraud and Jean-Claude Mézières, who also helped design this film. It is one of those films that was recognized as incredibly good in some circles, but also bad in others (it received a few Razzie nominations). Personally, it is one of my top 20 all-time favorite films, and top 10 favorite sci-fi films (without sequels). When I see it on TV, I tend to watch it or put it on in the background as I do other things. Ruby Rhod was offered to Prince, but he turned it down. Besson shared this fact a few days after Prince died, but the reason Prince passed on playing the role was more due to his touring schedule at the time than anything else. The Diva Plavalaguna was played by Besson's then-girlfriend, Miewenn La Besco, who was uncredited for many years. The song she sings in two parts is "Il dolce suono" from Gaetano Donizetti's 'Lucia di Lammermoor' and "The Diva Dance". The first part was recorded by Albanian soprano Inva Mula, and the second was pieced together from a few samples and manipulated thinking no one could actually sing the entire "Diva Dance" section. Several sopranos on RU-vid have posted their attempts to fully sing "Diva Dance" without manipulation...some of them have succeeded in singing it, although they have said it was extremely difficult between how low and how high the song is written (across five octaves). I can see how this was not your cup of tea. It isn't for everyone. But I am happy you watched it, even though there were some moments I could see in your eyes "What in the heck am I even seeing?!" I was laughing at those moments. Hopefully, whatever is next on the channel is something you like more!!! Take care!😊

I saw this movie 12 times in the theater the weekend it opened .

Awesome movie

This movie is such a massive disclosure,with metaphors upon metaphors...Rewatching it makes it so obvious now

I've always loved this film. I think it got a bad rap for no real reason. I thoroughly enjoyed it and continue to do so.

Watching movies with you is a ton of fun. Really glad to discovered your videos!

5th Element is a scifi cult roller coaster ride. The story and film is from the French director Luc Besson and the style is what make the movie very entertaining. It comes off very campy for sure. The humor was what makes the movie enjoyable. The action is very 90’s with explosions and endless gun battles. This is that film when you just need something to rewatch but don’t have to pay full attention to. To many the style makes it a classic. So I can understand. The director went on to do films like Taken and Lucy. Oh and León The Professional is another classic of his with Gary Oldman.

Not a spoof but I do see it as a love letter to other sci-fi cheese. Great popcorn flick.

3:25 - I saw _The Fifth Element_ in theaters May 1997 with a crowded house in Houston. When the spaced out mugger does his little dance in Bruce Willis's doorway, I could feel half the crowd going with it and the other half wondering what the fuck they were watching. This was not _Star Wars_ . It was probably the first "French" film a lot of Americans paid to see without even realizing it.

You can get points taken away for driving on the wrong side of the street, whether you hit someone or not isn't relevant (Though you can get ADDITIONAL points taken for causing a hit) Also Bruce's character does indeed break rules, but he literally had no reason to do so. He didn't know Leeloo, and had no reason to believe the police were in the wrong here, ESPECIALLY since he was mostly concerned with his own circumstances (Until she pulled on his heartstrings)

Its an Action-Sci-Fi-Comedy, kinda like Guardians of the Galaxy, only in the 90's

One of my favorite movies ever

Came for the movie reaction, but stayed and subscribed for the awe inspiringly beautiful host. Keep the reactions coming, Queen.

Very much one of the best, and funniest sci fi films ever. I lost count of the number of times I've seen. Especially since I have it on DVD. Y'all be safe and have a wonderful Christmas!!!

I like the scene in Zorg’s office where he’s demonstrating the flamethrower on his weapon, and the Mangalorian in back of Aknot looks at him like, “Yo, you see that? That is SICK!” Aknot, with a side eye waves his hand like, “YEAH, yeah, whatever! I guess…”. It’s just a small interaction, but it makes me laugh for some reason. 😂😂 Aknot: Man, calm down! It’s just fire! 😂😂

The movie is an expansion on a chapter in the graphic periodical album of Heavy Metal. The first Heavy Metal Film will fill in the rest of the story about the evil sphere.

Your reaction made me laugh so much! I would call this movie a sci fi romp. Ofc not 100% serious but asking some proper questions in a lighthearted way.

Love your reactions. Awesome job C!!

Ive seen this movie so so so many times I love it is one of my favorites.

I'm definitely subscribing. You have really funny reactions, can't wait to watch more!

Loved this, Cali. When I saw your reaction to _Silence of the Lambs_ yesterday, I had to sub. You just get it! 👏🏻

I think you missed the whole point of the movie. It was about the journey to unlock the 5th element. Just as literal as the other 4 elements were to unlock, so was the 5th. She needed love to be able to unlock her power.

R.I.P Luke Perry

It’s not a spoof but it was made to be kinda campy and fun with a bit of good action and plot. It’s all deliberate

16:58 Cleopatra, Queen of tuttin'.

Omfg I saw this in Theaters when I was in Foster Care absolutely loved it

"Little Light of Love (End Titles Version)" with Israeli singer "Nourith" who is also credited as "Yemenite singer." I remember some of the details off the top of my head. 🎶

Younger generations are ruined by MCU. This is cinema, not "commercial profit".

thanks for bringing this back into my frame of reference ; ).

I assume Leeloo did a leap of faith. Her mission required finding a human who would love her, so she jumped in faith she would find him. And she landed on Corben Dallas. Whether it was destined to be Corben, she would find someone. Iceborg had a princess leia parody vibe, The fifth element was Life as expressed with Love. Luc Beeson is criticized for uaing archetypes rather than human characters. He moves the archetypes around the stage to make his point. In this movie the point is the importance of Love and Life. He's using Joss Whedon style comedy-drama where he keeps undercutting serious moments with a joke.

This is actually a French movie and was the most expensive ever made until that point. It does feel like a spoof comedy almost throughout, like it goes on a tangent to show something irrelevant for seemingly no reason, but it is definitely not a spoof. It's hit or miss with a lot of people for that reason. It's notable (for me) for being one of the few Sci-Fis that depict a metropolis of flying cars despite the concept existing for decades before and since. Also, visually it's held up extremely well. Unfortunately, I think Bruce Willis was miscast. He acted fine, but I don't feel like he belonged in this movie.

One of my favorite movie, hey could u do apocalypto

This movie has it all. Pure enjoynment! 😎

You are a goated reactor, I legit adore you and your personality. And your hair 🤯

One of most kinda interesting stuff in this movie is that actually main hero (Bruce Willis) Korben and main antagonist Garry Oldman (Zorg) actually NEVER meet. Most near they are one to another is on scene where Bruce Willis enters lift and Garry Oldman exits it....

"For a solid hour and 15 nothing happened" What movie were you watching?

So excited to watch this!

your reaction Vids are really nice :D

The actor playing Zorg...is actually English.

Luc Beeson ( who is v much a creep when it comes to young girls ) was actually married to the alien opera diva but by the time the movie premiered they were getting divorced as Mila Jovovich was pregnant with his child. The role Chris Tucker plays was originally designed and written with Prince ( i hope u know who he is) in mind but due to scheduling issues he was unable to take the role so when Chris Tucker found out he just did his best impression of Prince and he did a absolutely fantastic job. Truly hilarious. The aliens in the metal suits at the beginning well the actors were professionally basket ball players.

She was the fifth element, She saved the universe.

So awesome that she created her own language. 🙃

Great reaction. Love this movie. Wondering when you'll continue your spiderman journey though? Lol

no, not a spoof. that's why this is a classic... it's so f***ing weird! :)

Those are _not_ Princess Leia vibes, even on Leia's worst day. Mind you, technically, that actress was a Bond girl..

Wow that's so cool just great news to hear

Thought I'd explore your "spoof" comment.. for some reason i think of "parody" when i hear the word, though this would be more of a satire. the line can certainly be blurry at times, such as with a movie like Galaxy Quest. "camp" comes to mind, taking a much less serious attitude with the subject matter. sci-fi can blur back toward fantasy - perhaps super-hero movies are a good comparison, where we have to suspend our disbelief with tech, then magic, then demigods, then aliens, etc. i think comic books are a better comparison, and this movie does feel like different stories featuring some unrelated characters woven together.. some pulp fiction, if you will.

I 've seen this movie many times, it's definitely a cult classic and easily one of my favorites, what gets me is that nobody ever checks to make sure that the stones are actually there, it's just a bunch of people running around with empty boxes! On an unrelated note, I think the "Princess Leia look" would be amazing only you.

yeah the whole thing with the stones inside the opera singer doesn't make any sense to me at all. how did they get there? how did they fit? how could she still sing with them in there? how did she plan on giving him the stones?

I love this movie!

Liked the movie when I saw it in the theater upon release & yes it was a mixed bag for some people, but not my friends, we all loved it. The issue we discussed after the movie was, as he held her there in the center, it became clear life wasn't worth saving without love. Without 'love' the 5th element wouldn't activate, & we'd all cease to exist. ♬ Without love, where would you be now? Without love, where would you be now? Doobie Brothers

5:40 - we are maybe 20 years away from full body printing (without the brain - that's a different story)

"Cheekan gude" 🤣

Gotta love Action/Comedy movies...

Many of the props and costumes are from other Sci-fi TV and Movies. Part of the spoof.

Like the movie but LOVE your hair!!!

MULTI-PAASSSSS!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I love your personality ☺️ and gorgeous to boot

It has a very "graphic novel" feel

This movie's not a spoof, it's just French. Hope that clears it up.

It's interesting that Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman are never interact and are in only scene for less than a second

It's not a spoof movie. The director is French.

Deebo for president!!!😆

At the beginning, there were several "supreme" beings. So how could they be supreme? "Supreme" means only One. There is only one Supreme Being and He doesn't need a turtle suit or spaceship to get around. Anyhow, I enjoyed this movie as a wild fantasy, and I enjoyed this reaction very much. Thank you.

I just wanted to tell you. Your hair is FABULOUS!!!! I wish I could have such bountiful and lively hair. Mine is flat and boring. You are so beautiful. No creepiness. I just want to give a genuine compliment.

22:03- that's a very good question. Also, why does she have so much free space inside her.

We may have those things now but when this film was made it was not like that and it was considered futuristic

This movie took it's style from the French Artist and Writing of Moebius. SEE - Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planet or the original DUNE (not the David Lynch one).. The French either view science fiction as totally spoof or totally dark and serious. No in between.

5:38 speaking to an....acquaintance in intelligence...he said what ya see on tv and movies, we've had for at least 30 years prior to broadcast.

Como siempre exelente video un 💋😎👍

I fell in love with a lot of women in this movie even with a flight attendant

Make a list of movies to watch for Halloween

I believe the term for the style is arch. A little bit playful and silly.

What, you've never heard of a comedy before !

YESSSS

7:59 - except, if he complied, he would still have a car and she would have met Cornelius quicker and without death defying ride. She would go from police custody - military - president - Cornelius.

Thanks!

check out valerian as well and the taxi franchise

I believe I can answer all of your questions about this movie in two words: it's French.

leelu dallas mooltee pass i love her i love bruce and chris and gary this is a weirdo film yes but it is near and dear to a lot of us lol

MULTIPASS!!

Aziz! LIGHT!

❤❤
