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!

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.

@KRAFTWERK2K6 Жыл бұрын

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. :)

It was before I even knew how legendary all the folks involved were, that I felt this movie was so monumental. Now that I know... Jean Paul Gaultier, Phil Collins, Luc Besson, Bruce Willis, and of course Milla Jovovich?! Legends in their own rights. Of course I already was a fan of Chris Tucker. But so important and so........... world changing.

@U2QuoZepplin Жыл бұрын

I've often wondered how to pronounce her name. Thank you for clearing that one up Mila. Leeloo is still one of the most unique characters in one of the most unique films I've ever seen. It's still such a favourite movie even though I've seen it umpteen hundred times.

@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy 8 ай бұрын

Her full name is Милица Јововић a English speaker would somewhat pronounce it as Melitsa Jovovich (or try "Me, lee, tsa" if this makes sense). There is no ћ in English so it's often becomes as CH the rest of her surname is kinda easy aside of that one letter. It's hard to be accurate with Serbian or Russian, for those who don't speak it, for example that is why there are thousands of western itereations of one and the same thing which further creates confusion and in this case they cut it short to just Mila which was lucky and smart to do. Her name still retained a meaning, "mila" means in Serbian someone or something that is tender in feminine form. A male form would be "mio". Another meaning of this word used in a sentence is "darling". (ти си ми мила) "Ti si mi mila", you are such a darling, also you are so dear to me, told to a female. "Ti si mi mio" same thing just for a male form. But as for conversions ironically this is the same reason why upon introduction of Vatican's Latin nonsense created so many wrong words and descriptions that historical people and events were completely taken out of context and altered. However this wasn't just a mistake, on top of mistakes they did this on purpose to confuse people and make them argue in future generations. A every day person will never question their authority and never go down rabbit holes searching for the truth. This same person is for whom these new languages were made, so it's easier to avoid historical facts and brainwash lots of us.
