I just watched “The Fifth Element” for probably the 30th time in the over 20 years since its release and was just as entertained throughout the entire movie as if it were the first time. The movie reveals the pettiness of cheap flamboyance, the overwhelming ugliness of greed, the deeply-seated detriments of war, and the costs of judgmental, pompous and passive traits in the people of the world. Of course, the answer is love, loyalty, belief and courage, but it is portrayed in a manner that reaches out and reels everyone in because it represents us all in so many ways it can’t miss.
“The Fifth Element” delivers a very strong message in a manner capable of clear reception by all people of the world. It presents an interesting, multi-faceted and meaningful story that will stick with you, with a great tempo, action, adventure, diversity, danger, love, humor and creed with crisp color, near-perfect cinematography and an excellent cast. All the while it communicates with caress that while life is bigger than us, life as our collective state of being is all of us. We create the world we live in with every thought, action and intention and we are accountable for it. "The Fifth Element" is “Perfect”, and I’m looking forward to the next viewing.
