He’s the semi-cultured version of that in The Fifth Element. If you’ve ever seen True Romance or The Professional, you know that he plays a scenery-chewing evil psychopath really well.
He doesn’t quite have the sex appeal of Depp, nor did he have that one huge role that catapulted him into super-stardom, but he’s a hell of an actor and he’s made a career out of impeccable character work. Like Johnny Depp, he’s a big fan of the oddball roles. Reason #2: Gary Oldman and Chris Tucker chew the hell out of the scenery It’s both Calvin’s perspective and Hobbes’ perspective at the same time: It’s the same feeling with every other borderline “this is almost too juvenile for me to like,” franchise, like RWBY. It’s not parody or satire, it’s more of an homage to classic space adventure and Heavy Metal and the stylized visuals of sci-fi comics. It’s a plot that begs not to be examined too strenuously.Īll that being said, the movie only takes itself seriously to the extent that it doesn’t devolve into farce. It’s the future, and there’s a giant Prime Evil ball of fire that’s going to destroy everyone, except for these elemental stones and a guardian or something, and then it turns out that the key to defeating evil is love. The actual plot of the movie is absurd if you think about it. This Calvin and Hobbes strip sums up my feeling about The Fifth Element pretty well. Reason #1 – It takes itself seriously about 75% of the time gifs, I’m going to make my case for The Fifth Element as a stand-up classic. And over the next 750 words and heavy assortment of. It’s probably not hard to guess which side of the camp I fall into. It’s a very “love it or hate it” type movie. It’s a campy, absurd movie that takes basically every cliche of a space action/adventure movie, puts them in a blender, pitches it as “Die Hard in space” (bonus points for actually casting Bruce Willis), signs world-famous fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier for the costumes and basically tells him to go nuts (spoiler alert: he does), and hires Chris Tucker (whose best-known role at that point was Smokey from Friday) to play a character that’s part Prince, part Robin Williams, and part Don Juan, all mixed together and powered by an almost certainly near-lethal amount of cocaine, and tells him to go even nutser. I guess what I’m trying to say is that The Fifth Element came out a long time ago. hit 56 home runs for the Mariners on his way to an AL MVP. That year, Ellen DeGeneres outed herself, the very first Harry Potter book came out in the UK, and Ken Griffey Jr. For those of you keeping score at home, that’s 17 years ago. The Fifth Element was recently added to Netflix streaming.
