Movie Review

1. Title of Movie
The Fifth Element

2. Main Characters
Korban Dallas, Leeloo, Father Vito Cornelius

3. Setting
Egypt & Flosten Paradise

4. After an explosion, only one life cell is found. The DNA in the "life" is found to be perfect and after they bring it back to life they realize that she, Leeloo, is the fifth element. Korban is on a mission to find the other four elements and they are found just in time for them to save the world.

5. How is the world in the movie different from the real world?
It's different than the real world in the way that they have a lot of futuristic things like flying cars and a ton more technology. They also wear different clothing.

6. I think this world was created for us to see the stress of what it would be like if the world was going to be hit by a big ball of fire. Also, the interesting and futuristic technology.

7. How does this movie question or challenge our ideas on what is ideal?
For me, it makes me realize that certain things go to far if you can recreate them.

8. What ideas do you get from this film for your own movie?
This movie is pretty different then what mine is going to be about. I didn't really feel any inspired ideas after watching it.
