Description of the film "5 element"
The actors of the film "5th Element" perfectly displayed on the screen their heroes who live in the twenty-first century. As in every story, there are positive characters who must resist the negative. The plot is based on the search for five elements with the help of which it is possible to stop evil in the form of a red-hot mass endowed with the intellect that is approaching the Earth. Every five thousand years, doors open between dimensions, every five thousand years of the universe a warrior is needed whose mission is to stop Evil.
The honor to save the Earth this time fell to a simple taxi driver Korben Dallas, who lives in New York.

But these are not the most terrible enemies of a beautiful stranger, real monsters are hunting for her. Now Korben is simply obliged to help Leela find four elements that represent the elements - earth, water, fire and air.

The film "5 element": actors and roles
In this fantastic story, a whole stellar cast of actors has gathered:
- Bruce Willis - Korben Dallas;
- Mila Jovovich - Lilu;
- Chris Tucker - Ruby Rod;
- Gary Oldman - Sorg;
- Ian Holm - Vito Cornelius (priest);
- Meyvenn Le Besco - Diva;
- Luke Perry - Billy.
Milla Jovovich
Mila Jovovich today is listed in the list of the most paid models in the world. In addition, she is known as a talented film actress. The girl played her first major role at the age of fifteen in the film “Return to the Blue Lagoon”, her heroine Lily looked very spectacularly on a deserted island in the middle of beautiful wildlife.
Very significant in Mila’s life were shooting in the movie “5th Element”. The actors who worked with her on the same platform were amazed at the non-standard play of the graceful girl. The picture appeared on the screens in 1997 and immediately gained immense popularity. The heroine of Mila Jovovich - Lilu ascended the actress to the pinnacle of fame. In addition to worldwide fame, Mila on the set of The Fifth Element found her family happiness. The famous Luke Besson himself made an offer to the beautiful girl, which she gladly accepted. At the wedding, the groom gave her a castle in Normandy, however, the marriage did not last long - soon the couple divorced.
Bruce Willis as Korben Dallas
One of the most striking and memorable is the film "5 element". Actors in their star list had the "Die Hard" - Bruce Willis. He is known to be the highest paid and popular actor in Hollywood. After the Die Hard project, Willis became a star of the first magnitude.
When Luke Besson gave Bruce the script for The Fifth Element, the actor, after reading it, immediately agreed to the shooting. The role of the hero Korben Dallas, who saves the world and fights with the armies of alien invaders, was perfectly suited to the actor. In the role of Dallas, it is now impossible to imagine anyone else, but nobody would probably have played this brave warrior, who at the beginning of the film appears before the audience as an ordinary taxi driver with expired rights.
"Element 5": supporting actors
In addition to the main characters, the film involves many talented performers of the supporting roles, without which the picture would not have achieved such tremendous success. To this day, both the younger and the older generations like the “5th Element,” whose actors deserve the highest praise.
From the entire list of artists I want to single out Gary Oldman, who played a negative character - Sorg. The actor agreed to this role, as they say, without looking. Luke Besson just called Gary and briefly outlined the plot of the film, Oldman accepted the offer to star, not even knowing who he was going to play. The fact is that he has known Luke for a long time and fully trusts him as a professional. They initially wanted to make Zorg look like Hitler and attach the famous mustache to him, but then they decided to confine themselves to only a small beard.
Another very prominent character in the film is the restless radio host Ruby Rod, played by Chris Tucker. This role brought the actor fame. Narcissistic Ruby sparkled in "The Fifth Element" almost on a par with the main couple - Mila and Bruce. According to the audience, Ruby Rod is the most attractive and memorable hero in this fantastic story. This once again proves that the play of each actor, whether major or minor, matters and affects the success of the film and the recognition of viewers.
