Things Frannen really likes: 5th Element

For those of you who haven't seen this movie, go watch that clip. Seriously. That clip sums up very well everything I love about this freaking movie. Yes, it's a bit slow til about the 3:20 mark, but it's worth it.

This movie has a pretty predictable plot but really... a plot does not make a movie. And that's a separate rant.

Anyway. This movie has amazing art to it. The cuts between scenes are freaking excellent, weaving together three conversations into one seamlessly. The choreography is great, the sync with the background music is perfect, the characters are pretty well done and hey, the future is actually believable.

I had this whole big thing in the car but I think I just... suck at typing these things out so will leave it at this.

...except to OMG again about how they do the scene splicing. Fucking love that. Done so well.

If you can believe it somebody brought up a character up from that movie during the Tron: Legacy movie. I wanted to see it after that last night, I definitely want to see it now.:)

I still love that the language Leeloo speaks is one that the director actually made up, and they would speak it to each other and write letters in it so that she would actually be fluent in it.

And that pretty well known French comic artists [I think they were French, I have to watch the special features again] designed the future.
