@@AnointedFlow She looked in her mid to late 20s to me. Maybe people of her generation just tended to look older for their age? I remember being completely shocked to discover that the actress in Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade was also around the same age (19-20?) b/c she looked in her 30s to me.
@@ascensio11 Please, 19 and mid 20's have minor differences. Plus their is movie makeup and lighting involved. Take Rachel McAdams in "Mean Girls" for instance.
@@Whosthatguy99 wow, only rich people go that deep, and yes, nobody has reason to remember me, but I remember every one of them, including you now too, thank you.
The Fifth Element is one of my all-time favorite movies. SO cool seeing that Mila was so positively affected and associates with the movie in such a happy way. Loved this.
I know! Her saying that it was hard to stop making the movie, since she'd been shooting for 7 months when she was 19 was so touching. It was like hearing that the folks who worked on Lord of The Rings had a very bittersweet departure as well. You spend so much time on these projects and give so much of yourself to them and then they have to end at some point. It must be heartbreaking.
Millia Jovovich is one of those low key actors that everyone really appreciates. Hearing her speak like this gives you so much insight into the person herself.
Same here. Something about the imagery and character designs just stood out so much it has embedded into my head since then. Milla, Bruce Willis, Chris Tucker and Gary Oldman just always held a place in my head because of this movie.
Yes! This is one of the best movies of its time and one of my all time faves. It’s become one of those movies that almost everyone has seen regardless of their generation.
Can’t tell you how many times me and my family watched The Fifth Element. Timeless classic.Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, Chris Tucker all at their best. One of the all time great sci fi movies.
Never knew she didn't initially plan to be/want to be an actress. Milla is such a unique, exotic person; perfect as Leeloo. Thanks for this backstory Vogue. Didn't realize Jean Paul Gaultier did all the costumes for the Fifth Element...that explains why they were so amazing.💙
One of my all time favorite movies. The pace, the music as she breaks out of the chamber, the iconic image of her standing on that ledge as the audience is introduced to a completely new futuristic world. So much fun, with a great message.
Fifth Element was HUGE in Asia, it was on magazine covers and posters it was every where. It was the golden age of movie theater going. The costumes and visuals were ICONIC.
One of the things I really loved about Milla's portrayal of Leeloo is how convincing she was with the language. She spoke that fake "divine language" like it actually was her native tongue. That totally sold her for me. Such a great performance; I'd compare it to Heath Ledger's Joker.
It also helps that nobody of the Cast knew how her character would talk because Luc would not let the actors know. So in the scenes when we see everyone reacting to Leeloo talking in the old language, the visible confusion and amazement on the faces of Bruce & co is 100% genuine. :)
I speak light language and when I watched The Fifth Element for the first time recently I was BLOWN AWAY at her accuracy. She was working with her heart wide open!
Leeloo us such an iconic character. So innocent, so naïve, so pure at heart. She was so badass, but so pure. I love that movie, I love the characters. Absolute classic. Milla Jovovich, thank you for bringing that character so much life. I will definitely be showing that movie to my kids.
I worked with Mila on the set of the sci-fi film "Ultra Violet" back in 2005. It was a talking scene together. I have to say, she was so kind and funny, and yet with her stardom power presence, she did not take herself so seriously! I will always treasure that time.
She seems quite quirky and fun when you listen to her commentary on the Resident Evil DVDs. I remember seeing her pictures back in the 80s in magazines and such.
I saw The Fifth Element countless times the years after the movie came out. Watched it again a few months ago, and it still holds up amazingly well thanks to the incredible acting, story and visuals. Great job Milla
This movie was sooooo ahead of its time. It’s by far my favorite movie of all time to date. This Vogue interview was so cool, to learn that Jean Paul designed everything just makes it that more magical for me!
I really hope Vogue continues this series. I really think their on to something. Costume and character design and fashion is so important to story telling and bringing a story alive.😀
Agree along with Starship Troopers (First film - subsequent films were dire / ^^%^%)- let's hope they don't make a sequel - examples of %^%^%^ up - include Speed 2, Starship Troopers and Indiana Jones - 4th and 5th films
The whole Movie was unique ...such a masterpiece... the actors, the costumes, the music...the atmosphere. I can't think of a movie that is similar to this
Fifth Element is one of the best Sci Fi movies of the 90s! My Dad and I always watched together. The score of this movie- specifically Leeloo’s birth scene- is so evocative and beautiful.
"I think in America The Fifth Element came and went." Ma'am, I saw it theaters 7 times across two countries. The nerds were fed, we went nuts for it. Thanks for your service.
Milla was an absolute treasure in The Fifth Element, but every character was absolutely perfectly cast, and there are so many little genius moments in the film. It's just about as close to cinematic perfection as you can get.
She’s awesome in this movie. Completely refreshing and truly alien. If only so many more filmmakers, actors and studios could be this adventurous and inventive.
The 5th Element had origins with the Heavy Metal magazine. Another film close to it, would be a composite 3d film called "Immortal" a french film incorporating the Egyptian gods.
Because being adventurous and inventive does not make billions at the box office. If you want films that are more art than business, you would have to time travel back about 45 years...
One of _the_ best of science-fiction films. I started reading Heavy Metal magazine immediately after Metal Hurlant crossed the Atlantic and have ALWAYS loved the styles of the artists that contributed to the magazine issue after issue. I can see Metal Hurlant's artists' influences clearly throughout the Fifth Element. Just so so cool!
I saw the movie when it was released and I was completely enamored. The acting, the fashion, the music... so stunning and original. To this day still in my top 3. I never realized it was underrated when it was released. Probably because I loved it so much.
@@catalinacruz7801 I'm exactly the same way, its my all time favorite. Saw it was on TV a few months ago at my bar and put it on one of the TVs to glance at when I got a chance.
I adore Milla and Lee Loo, and always will. And The Fifth Element is a forever fav. This amazing retrospective by Milla is such a tremendous joy to watch. I loved learning about her family and her childhood, how she connected with Luc, how she won the role, and all of her sharing about the movie and its impacts on her and others. Positively priceless. 😊❤️😊
The fact that her outfit for the interview kinda homages the rubber orange and white t-shirt outfit her character wears for the majority of the movie, very cool. They made the set themed too! 🧡
As a late diagnosed autistic woman, Leeloo was so important to me as a character while I was growing up. I just felt like she mirrored how my brain works and taught me that being different/ neurodivergent was ok and beautiful 💎
That couches neutrality and the contrast with the most beautiful floral design is so classic and edgy. It just sets the frame for such a calm setting. I live for these type of art. 💝
I adore this woman I've seen every movie she ever made and find her performances almost hipnotic you are one of a kind Milla I hope you know that. Cause we do
After all she has completed, with such a life, her beginnings, she comes off here as being very well grounded, unpretentious and lovely. An impressive person with much to offer and able to maintain it…as well as her outer beauty and physical condition. She’s underrated, I enjoyed this interview…and admired the flower arrangements!!
The Fifth Element is a true masterpiece. Visual design, costume design, cast, directing, music - every part of it is just pure gold. And of course, Mila's amazing acting contributed greatly to the awesomeness of this movie! Love you Milla!
It's true about Leeloo being unique! She manages to pull off being alien, childlike, relatable and capable all at the same time. Not to mention funny as well. Leeloo Dallas multipass!
*THE FILM is a proof that Milla can act perfectly.* Most other films are on way lower level, so if the directors can not provide either direction or material to act upon, it is their fault, not of the actors.
I don't really like sci-fi, but if The Fifth Element is on the tube, I will always watch it til the end. The pacing is spot on, and the interplay of several storylines is deftly done. Bruce Willis is at his best, but all the supporting actors get in on the over-the-top mood and the film really sings. It's "super green"
Leeloo Dallas Multi-Pass, still one of the best jokes that you still hear. I can't say Leeloo with the Dallas Multi-Pass. One of my favorite movies. Never becomes old and never disappoints to make you feel great. Millia's character, Bruce's and Chris Tucker just wow.
When 5th Element came out, I managed a video store. To say that I watched a lot of movies would be a great understatement! For me, 5th Element ranks as one of the best movies made. Milla portrayed Leeloo indelibly and uniquely--a character like no other. A friend and I discussed 5th Element a few weeks ago--finding that we both felt it had a huge impact on us.
This movie blew me away at the time. The art design and costumes were incredible, the story was like a dream that somehow made sense, and Leeloo was a new kind of amazing. But Ruby Rhod was even _more_ of a mind-blower. Ru Paul and Eddie Izzard were barely a blip at the time.
@@PresidioDelux I mean Chris Tucker was a cis-het comedian playing a flamboyantly androgynous character than helped Americans in particular appreciate LGBTQ performers such as RuPaul and Eddie Izzard.
So supposedly they showed Chris Tucker THE most flamboyant over the TOP outfit he had to wear first. Broke him in, after that everything else was like, “ok that’s cool, sure.”
I've seen the movie almost 30 times over 20 years. It's my favorite of all time. So nostalgic for me every time I watch it now. Cool to see so many other fans in the comment sections expressing their love of the film.
I always wondered what Leelou was saying when she spoke her language. Especially, since it was an actual made up language that the actress has to learn
She's totally right: nothing like a character like Leeloo and the movie itself have been seen since. I'm grateful for this video because it gave me some insight that makes the movie even more marvelous. Absolute classic.
This is a great interview. Fifth Element was a Huge movie here in US, at least it was for me. I have always thought of it as one of the best movies...period. I watch it periodically and it is still amazing after all these yrs. Many Sci Fi films do not age well due to the improvements made in cinematography, but this one is still TOP NOTCH! It was great to hear Mila relate her experience with her role and the film.
Fifth Element is my go to movie when I don't know what I want to watch and just want to relax and decompress. Many long hot baths have been taken while watching this movie. Big bada boom. The first time I saw Milla, she was featured in a teen magazine. The stylist mentioned that Milla insisted on having waves instead of curls. Hair wavers are very much back in fashion. It's proof on how fashion is so cyclical. I've been a fan of hers ever since. She's a multilingual model, actress/action star, singer/songwriter/musician....modern Renaissance woman.
I'm 29 and I remembered watching Fifth Element as a kid and every single time I saw it was playing on tnt, I would stop whatever I was doing and watch it....and to this day, I still love watching it. Milla is one of my top 5 female actresses and she is amazing!! ❤❤❤
To this day, my siblings and I (and now our nieces) will randomly blurt out ''Leeloo Dallas Multipass'' especially when pretending to be confused or genuinely confused, no matter where we are. And ppl look at us funny! 🤣 This is probably the movie I have watched more times out of all movies in my life and I never get tired out it! I just love it so much!!
It's a masterpiece, I don't like opera, but even the opera in this movie is amazing, and they couldn't have picked better actors, especially Leeloo, she was perfect 😁
I totally understand her when she says she felt destroyed once they were finished filming, that sensation of loss, when you were so happy doing something and then you have to say goodbye to that forever.
Mila Jovovich absolutely slayed the part - The Fifth Element is one of my favorite films of all time. Thanks for doing such a beautiful job on this retrospective. (I still have the DVD)
How lovely to hear such a beautiful back story. I’m one of them 90s kids, and this movie played a big part in my cinematic upbringing 🤓♥️ Much love to you Milla, as you’ve further inspired me to pursue acting
This film and her as a character was so wonderfully life changing. Definitely is a fashion reference movie for me. Still waiting for Chanel’s automatic eye make up glasses
The fact that she had Leeloo's color scheme on warms my heart, (great touch) & the floral arrangement is on point 👌 Onr of my favorite characters ever & one of my favorite films of all-time 👍
It never ceases to amaze me how all these different professions brought their A-game to the table to create this amazing movie that's been imitated so many times but still reigns supreme.
One of my top ten favorites, Her the world they created, the story, the grit and texture of the scenes, a mix of futuristic and lived in, decay and polish. All put together with this fantastic story weaving real entertainment that was relatable... Plus she is one of my favorite action characters of all time.
Since the early 2000’s my dad has always put The Fifth Element & Water World on repeat all day long. They were playing on our living room tv at all hours of the day. 😄 When I visit today, he’s still playing those two movies. I’m 32 now and I do have an appreciation for these classics. They’re some of my favorites and they always make me think of my dad. 😊
The Fifth Element is my all time favorite movie and it's because of Milla Jovovich's stellar performance in it. It still blows my mind she was only 19 when filming it because she embodies such a strong character with thousands of years of wisdom and strength behind her so convincingly... Well done! And yes it was only a minor hit here in Canada on initial release. I saw it on opening day and it was maybe a quarter filled. But since then? Almost everyone I know has seen it multiple times... Can't wait to see what she's working on next!
She's such a class act and was always a better actor than her characters asked for. I would love to see her doing more art, period and drama films. And I watched the Fifth Element every time it was on cable TV, like 20 times already. It is a great movie. Milla was my Barbarella.
Love this movie and big Milla fan, but ehhh on the acting. She's had roles that demanded more acting skill and it wasn't great. The Messenger being a good example, Milla and Luc again, but ehhh. Now her music, that is underappreciated.
I just watched The Fifth Element yesterday. Between the autowash, smashing through the roof of a cab, the concert at flotsam, Ruby Rod screaming. The movie was just like the doctor explaining about the dna….perfect.
Indeed! Recently bought a Sony OLED and got the 4k disc for this - watched it about a week ago and it really is masterful. I've been buying 4k discs of old flicks like crazy, and it's amazing how many movies I used to love are pretty "meh" today... but not The Fifth Element. Still frickin' amazing.
"Lee-lu dallas Multi-pass!" You were born for the role Mila, Love ya!!
“Multiiii passs. “
“He knows it’s a multi pass.”
I didn't realize she was so young when she did Fifth Element. That makes her unforgettable performance even more impressive. Iconic, really.

Fifth Element was HUGE in Asia, it was on magazine covers and posters it was every where. It was the golden age of movie theater going. The costumes and visuals were ICONIC.
As an kid growing up in south east asia, 5th element is my childhood and comfort movie i can always watch and be happy rewatching over and over again
I introduced my kids to The Fifth Element just last month. They absolutely loved it. Like The Princess Bride, it's timeless.

That couches neutrality and the contrast with the most beautiful floral design is so classic and edgy. It just sets the frame for such a calm setting. I live for these type of art. 💝
Plus the floral design is tied directly to Leeloo, and that's incredible too!
Her final words are so touching. What a wonderful story and woman.
I introduced my kids to The Fifth Element just last month. They absolutely loved it. Like The Princess Bride, it's timeless.
think it's a rare person (actor) who can embody and realize the role of Leeloo like Milla did (and she did it at 19). Congratulations to her.
I do not know who created Lee Loos language but Mila spoke it like it was her native tounge. Such a memorable performance.
love princess bride. classic.
in some moments this film isn't really for the kids...
@@crazymelomanka My kids are 17 and 14. They can handle it.
I love her observation about how the role showed her who she wanted to be in life. Wonderfully honest and kind.
We take a moment and appreciate the floral design by Brittany Asch of BRRCH! Such a marvelous floral presentation!
Thank you for mentioning her, I can't wait to scroll through her insta, these arrangements are stunning 😳
Its very Leeloo 👏👏👏
Amaziiiinggggg
They literally look like a million buck!! And they seem to some how embody Leeloo in a flower. Perfect
“The Fifth Element” was / is an outstanding movie.
And Leloo is an unforgettable character.
Thank you.
After 27 years now. You have never seen a similar character. We are flooding of super heroes. The super heroes are all the same.
this got me weeping. this movie is everything. the fashion, the cast. id love a fifth element fashion book if they dropped one
She was absolutely incredible as Leeloo!!! Multipass!
I could listen to her say that all day long... Philo, I want your Multipass
Big Bada Boom
Still use it lol
There's an actual device that remembers your logins and passwords that's called "Mooltipass".
I say this occasionally out of nowhere "Multipass!" haha
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the floral arrangement? 🧡💚💜
Right??? The orange very much linking to the character!! Do you know what they are?
Bird of Paradise Plant. An Exotic flowering plant. Mostly can be seen in Southeast Asia.
Yes! Very sci-fi like!
@@elliewithg Yes, we have some in our garden.
@@SamSmithVev0 I see them all the time, I live in south east asia 😁. Birds of paradise is actually still a family of bananas.
I adore this woman I've seen every movie she ever made and find her performances almost hipnotic you are one of a kind Milla I hope you know that. Cause we do

She couldn’t have done it at 26.
@@CorePathwayI'd be less creepy if she wasn't a barely legal teen tho lol
@@KylePitre No it wouldn’t. Nothing creepy about a hot adult doing hot things. If you don’t like it don’t watch it.
@@SunlightGwynexactly. the hypocrisy of people just following the "trend."
I agree
Milla Jovovich is surrounded by the bird of the paradise- An icon of beauty, love and strength.
She has aged so beautifully and gracefully! Definitely one of the coolest and most baddass actresses of our generation
"Beautifully and gracefully, eh?" Like In a chain-smoking, raspy-voiced, collagen-desert kinda way? She's 46 and looks about 55.
@@happydogg312 Smokin's bad, m'kay.
She's a legend, but...she looking kind of rough nowadays.
@@richarddukard8989 She looks completely fine. Aging is actually a thing, who knew?
@@tim72184 you sound like an absolute clown
Leeloo and The Gentleman Who Fell are my favourite memories of you, Milla. Thank you for this very special interview. 💓
After all she has completed, with such a life, her beginnings, she comes off here as being very well grounded, unpretentious and lovely. An impressive person with much to offer and able to maintain it…as well as her outer beauty and physical condition. She’s underrated, I enjoyed this interview…and admired the flower arrangements!!
The Fifth Element is a true masterpiece. Visual design, costume design, cast, directing, music - every part of it is just pure gold. And of course, Mila's amazing acting contributed greatly to the awesomeness of this movie! Love you Milla!
I have always loved every aspect of this film. So to add to your list, lighting, sound FX, visual FX, editing,
If only it could have been a trilogy instead of a single picture. [sigh] Iconic indeed.
My favourite film of all time. Can’t believe she was 19. Such an intelligent performance.
I know
Same. That movie is the best, brings me so much happiness
I had no idea she was that young in the film. She came off way older. 🤭
Well, if she was born in 1975 and the movie came out in 1997 then she wouldn't be 19 unless the movie was filmed 1994. Maybe it was, I don't know.
It's true about Leeloo being unique! She manages to pull off being alien, childlike, relatable and capable all at the same time. Not to mention funny as well.
Leeloo Dallas multipass!
Leeloo is best girl.
_She knows it's a _*_Multipass!_*
Oh my gosh my GF and me say those lines all the time. 😂❤
Gotta love how one of her daughters even recreated that shot to tease her mom! 😆
*THE FILM is a proof that Milla can act perfectly.*
Most other films are on way lower level, so if the directors can not provide either direction or material to act upon, it is their fault, not of the actors.
I hope she realizes that the character of Leeloo is what makes the film a remote drop. Incredibly unique, and well played.
I have no idea how many times I've watched this movie. Maybe 5k times.
I remember seeing The Fifth Element when it came out in theaters and it was instantly one of my favorite movies of all time....it has everything.
same, saw it 4 times XD
It was one of the movies i watched over and over and over. So dang incredible. It didn't hurt that Bruce was playing opposite her either.
This movie is ICONIC. The fashion, the aesthetic. Everything!
if it has looks I'll watch
I'm a lookist
The score
I don't really like sci-fi, but if The Fifth Element is on the tube, I will always watch it til the end. The pacing is spot on, and the interplay of several storylines is deftly done. Bruce Willis is at his best, but all the supporting actors get in on the over-the-top mood and the film really sings. It's "super green"
Leeloo Dallas Multi-Pass, still one of the best jokes that you still hear. I can't say Leeloo with the Dallas Multi-Pass. One of my favorite movies. Never becomes old and never disappoints to make you feel great. Millia's character, Bruce's and Chris Tucker just wow.
Leeloo Dallash Moolty-Pash. Moolty pash. 😀 love it. Classic movie line for sure.
Lol my friend does it everytime he walks past my Security check and shows his badge, cracks me up!
CORBEN DALLAS!!!!
RUBY RHOAD HERE!!!!
And " Big bada-boom!" Also my favorite.
The Fifth Element to this day is one of my favorite films. It is a rare film in that I can watch it over and over and never get tired of watching it.
The effects and fashion still hold up till today and Chris tucker keeps the movie funny . And the opera is other worldly
Fifth Element will always be my favorite movie!
When 5th Element came out, I managed a video store. To say that I watched a lot of movies would be a great understatement! For me, 5th Element ranks as one of the best movies made. Milla portrayed Leeloo indelibly and uniquely--a character like no other. A friend and I discussed 5th Element a few weeks ago--finding that we both felt it had a huge impact on us.
Back when a strong female lead was a million times better than the garbage we are stuck with today.
This movie blew me away at the time. The art design and costumes were incredible, the story was like a dream that somehow made sense, and Leeloo was a new kind of amazing. But Ruby Rhod was even _more_ of a mind-blower. Ru Paul and Eddie Izzard were barely a blip at the time.
Eddie Izzard was BIG in the UK waaay before the Fifth Element man.
@@wayn3h There are a lot of people who are big in the UK who are virtually unknown everywhere else.
You mean Chris Tucker. Not RuPaul.
@@PresidioDelux I mean Chris Tucker was a cis-het comedian playing a flamboyantly androgynous character than helped Americans in particular appreciate LGBTQ performers such as RuPaul and Eddie Izzard.
So supposedly they showed Chris Tucker THE most flamboyant over the TOP outfit he had to wear first. Broke him in, after that everything else was like, “ok that’s cool, sure.”
I've seen the movie almost 30 times over 20 years. It's my favorite of all time. So nostalgic for me every time I watch it now. Cool to see so many other fans in the comment sections expressing their love of the film.
I do not know who created Lee Loos language but Mila spoke it like it was her native tounge. Such a memorable performance.
Luc Besson created it of 400 words & him & Milla practiced it as well as wrote letters to each other in the language.
Literally at 8:36 she says that he (Luc Besson) wrote this language.
I always wondered what Leelou was saying when she spoke her language. Especially, since it was an actual made up language that the actress has to learn
The director did
I introduced my kids to The Fifth Element just last month. They absolutely loved it. Like The Princess Bride, it's timeless.

Yes, you needed a multipass to hit it...
She's totally right: nothing like a character like Leeloo and the movie itself have been seen since. I'm grateful for this video because it gave me some insight that makes the movie even more marvelous.
Absolute classic.
This is a great interview. Fifth Element was a Huge movie here in US, at least it was for me. I have always thought of it as one of the best movies...period. I watch it periodically and it is still amazing after all these yrs. Many Sci Fi films do not age well due to the improvements made in cinematography, but this one is still TOP NOTCH! It was great to hear Mila relate her experience with her role and the film.
Fifth Element is my go to movie when I don't know what I want to watch and just want to relax and decompress. Many long hot baths have been taken while watching this movie. Big bada boom. The first time I saw Milla, she was featured in a teen magazine. The stylist mentioned that Milla insisted on having waves instead of curls. Hair wavers are very much back in fashion. It's proof on how fashion is so cyclical. I've been a fan of hers ever since. She's a multilingual model, actress/action star, singer/songwriter/musician....modern Renaissance woman.
I'm 29 and I remembered watching Fifth Element as a kid and every single time I saw it was playing on tnt, I would stop whatever I was doing and watch it....and to this day, I still love watching it. Milla is one of my top 5 female actresses and she is amazing!! ❤❤❤
Yeah 👍
I stop and watch it every time I find it on.
One of the best sci-fi films ever made. Milla, you were pivotal in this film working. Glad you got the role. Thanks for the insight.
To this day, my siblings and I (and now our nieces) will randomly blurt out ''Leeloo Dallas Multipass'' especially when pretending to be confused or genuinely confused, no matter where we are. And ppl look at us funny! 🤣 This is probably the movie I have watched more times out of all movies in my life and I never get tired out it! I just love it so much!!
"Sir, can you please put your hands in the yellow circles?"
..."SMOKE YOOOUUUUU!!!"
"Wrong answer..." 🤣😆
My one dog loves chicken so we always say it like Leeloo does.😂 We also gave her the middle name of “multipass”
A sci-fi fantasy film, that was ahead of it's time, and like all Luc Besson films - truly unique.What a film, She nailed her character!
It seemed like they tried to make the character a cross between a superhero and a female " messiah " character.
I see the same comments talking about the matrix and Starship troopers. Lmao
Never wrote such things, but if your talking about the phrase, yeah quite common 😅
It's a masterpiece, I don't like opera, but even the opera in this movie is amazing, and they couldn't have picked better actors, especially Leeloo, she was perfect 😁
I totally understand her when she says she felt destroyed once they were finished filming, that sensation of loss, when you were so happy doing something and then you have to say goodbye to that forever.
I had a crush on her in in that movie. One of my favorite parts was the arrival of the famous guy with the microphone strutting down the hallway.
Mila Jovovich absolutely slayed the part - The Fifth Element is one of my favorite films of all time. Thanks for doing such a beautiful job on this retrospective. (I still have the DVD)
Please do more with Milla. She’s so unique and stunning. So beautiful. We love her.
No doubt, she's beautiful. But, she's says "like" more than most teenagers. Lol
@@vhagerty So?
@@TheManaTree777 Notice the 'LOL' at the end of that comment? It was said in jest. Geez!
How lovely to hear such a beautiful back story. I’m one of them 90s kids, and this movie played a big part in my cinematic upbringing 🤓♥️ Much love to you Milla, as you’ve further inspired me to pursue acting
The Fifth element is to this day my most quoted movie. My dad and I LOVE this film. It’s our favorite and when it’s on TV we have to watch it.
This film and her as a character was so wonderfully life changing. Definitely is a fashion reference movie for me. Still waiting for Chanel’s automatic eye make up glasses
Yes 🥰🤣
Instant chicken
The fact that she had Leeloo's color scheme on warms my heart, (great touch) & the floral arrangement is on point 👌 Onr of my favorite characters ever & one of my favorite films of all-time 👍
It never ceases to amaze me how all these different professions brought their A-game to the table to create this amazing movie that's been imitated so many times but still reigns supreme.
One of my top ten favorites, Her the world they created, the story, the grit and texture of the scenes, a mix of futuristic and lived in, decay and polish. All put together with this fantastic story weaving real entertainment that was relatable... Plus she is one of my favorite action characters of all time.
Since the early 2000’s my dad has always put The Fifth Element & Water World on repeat all day long. They were playing on our living room tv at all hours of the day. 😄 When I visit today, he’s still playing those two movies. I’m 32 now and I do have an appreciation for these classics. They’re some of my favorites and they always make me think of my dad. 😊
Ask your Dad to try Independence Day and Godzilla as well.
dry land!
The Fifth Element is my all time favorite movie and it's because of Milla Jovovich's stellar performance in it. It still blows my mind she was only 19 when filming it because she embodies such a strong character with thousands of years of wisdom and strength behind her so convincingly... Well done! And yes it was only a minor hit here in Canada on initial release. I saw it on opening day and it was maybe a quarter filled. But since then? Almost everyone I know has seen it multiple times... Can't wait to see what she's working on next!
She's such a class act and was always a better actor than her characters asked for. I would love to see her doing more art, period and drama films. And I watched the Fifth Element every time it was on cable TV, like 20 times already. It is a great movie. Milla was my Barbarella.
Love this movie and big Milla fan, but ehhh on the acting. She's had roles that demanded more acting skill and it wasn't great. The Messenger being a good example, Milla and Luc again, but ehhh.
Now her music, that is underappreciated.
Great corollary! Never connected Milla to Barbarella, but yeah!
@@snek9353 I thought she was amazing in the Messenger, it's one of my favorite movies!
Fifth Element is a movie I've seen many, many times.
For a friend and I, it's an annual tradition. Love the movie.
I just watched The Fifth Element yesterday. Between the autowash, smashing through the roof of a cab, the concert at flotsam, Ruby Rod screaming. The movie was just like the doctor explaining about the dna….perfect.
Indeed! Recently bought a Sony OLED and got the 4k disc for this - watched it about a week ago and it really is masterful. I've been buying 4k discs of old flicks like crazy, and it's amazing how many movies I used to love are pretty "meh" today... but not The Fifth Element. Still frickin' amazing.
