This sci-fi classic was probably one of the most formative to me in my youth. The style of The Fifth Element strongly resembles French bandes dessinées, which only adds to its charm. Colorful characters, fantastic acting, and a whacky 90's plot make this one of the best sci-fi movies to-date.
About the Creator
Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Chasing Shadows: Why “More” Doesn’t Mean Happier
Last year, the World Happiness Report highlighted a striking pattern: even in developed countries where people spend substantial amounts on non-essential goods, higher consumption beyond basic needs does not significantly increase life satisfaction. Imagine Jane, a young professional scrolling through her social media feed: her friends flaunt new cars, exotic vacations, and the latest gadgets, making her feel inadequate despite owning everything she once dreamed of. This scene is far from unusual. Every advertisement, post, and billboard seems to whisper: “You need more.” Yet, the irony of modern life is stark: despite unprecedented access to wealth and goods, many of us feel lonelier, more anxious, and less fulfilled than ever. The promise of happiness through consumption is, in reality, an illusion that leaves us running in circles, chasing temporary pleasures that fade almost as soon as we acquire them.

Very well done!
And that white bandage outfit thing - iconic 😁
I've never watched this before! Excellent review!
I'm sure I've seen this movie at least 5 times and it never gets old to me. I'm laughing as I type from remembering the zany character Chris Tucker played. Excellent critique!
I love this movie so much. I even dyed my whole head orange a few years ago just to be Leeloo for Halloween!
Brilliant critique, underrated bonkers film. Loved Luc Besson in the 90s, and loved this. Definitely one of Bruce Willis' better films and I think this is the film that properly introduced Milla Jovovich to the world. Well done, Ian!
Great job ❤️💯📝😉
I remember this movie! 😁 great critique!
Underrated classic!
