The film "The Fifth Element" was released back in 1997 and almost immediately became a cult. Cinema fans agree that the film owes its success to the magnificent cast.
The film "The Fifth Element" has long celebrated its fifteenth anniversary, but the exciting plot and brilliant cast make the picture relevant today. One of the most brilliant creations of director Luc Besson has become the finest hour of many artists.
Bruce willis
Charming handsome Bruce Willis in "The Fifth Element" got the role of Korben Dallas, who was entrusted with the mission of saving the Earth from a collision with a demonic asteroid. For Willis, the role of the hero, the savior of mankind, is a very familiar role ("Die Hard", "Armageddon"). However, this does not mean that the character of Bruce Willis turned out to be stamped or boring - Korben Dallas came out original and very expressive, and this finally secured the glory of the main Hollywood hero for the actor.
Milla Jovovich
Before filming in "The Fifth Element, " Mila Jovovich was a very sought-after actress and model, but the main role in Besson's film brought the girl wildly popular. Mila played Lila - the representative of higher civilization, the notorious "fifth element". The extravagant appearance of the girl, coupled with futuristic costumes (which, incidentally, was created by Jean-Paul Gaultier himself) simply captivated the audience and critics. Beauty and talent Mila melted the heart and Luc Besson - it was after the release of the film that the director and actress were married by law.
Gary oldman
The British actor Gary Oldman, as well as Bruce Willis, in the "Fifth Element" had to play a role quite familiar to himself. But if Willis got a hero character, then Oldman embodied on the screen the representative of the "dark forces" - the villain of Sorg. The roles of the bad guys are especially successful for Gary Oldman - the director Besson was convinced of this even on the set of the film "Leon", where the actor played a corrupt police officer, and therefore invited him to his new film.
Chris Tucker
If other actors in the film were already more or less known to the general public, then Chris Tucker was a real discovery. The role of the eccentric radio host Ruby Rod perfectly succeeded the aspiring actor and assigned him the role of a comedian. Later, Tucker starred in the popular trilogy "Rush Hour" and became the highest paid actor in 2006, but will not tire of thanking Besson for his dizzying debut in his film.
