Aside from predicting an African-American Commander-in-Chief to insane fashions being all the rage like Lady Gaga's fashion sense--both were predicted in The Fifth Element. Even in 1997, The Fifth Element was way ahead of its time. |
After watching
Twelve Monkeys, a group of my friends and I were trying to remember all of Bruce Willis' movies in the SciFi genre, with
The Fifth Element being an easy one as we had just finished watching the critically acclaimed French movie.
The Fifth Element holds up against the test of time exceptionally well. Also, we have a new movie to add to this list later this year: a new SciFi flick coming out this September called
Looper, which will also feature Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the main antagonist. Gordon-Levitt is supposedly a hit man who will be up against Bruce Willis' character who's on the run. The speculative fiction aspects of the story in
Looper will revolve around time motifs. So, for those who liked Bruce Willis' portrayal of James Cole in
Twelve Monkeys,
Looper will be a must-see movie. Enough about that for now as this post shall remain major spoiler-free!
