I love this fucking movie.
I saw The Fifth Element many years ago and didn’t care for it. I saw it again a few years later and thought it was okay. After another couple of years I checked it out yet again and enjoyed it quite a bit. Then I got way into Moebius and read The Incal, The Airtight Garage, The Long Tomorrow, and a bunch of his other science fiction comics before once more watching this movie. Now I absolutely love it. The Fifth Element is a blast regardless, but at the risk of sounding arrogant, the more familiar you are with 1970’s and 1980’s French sci-fi comics such as those which have appeared in Metal Hurlant, the more you will find to love about this film. It captures the tone and style of those stories so well that it’s shocking. A few years ago I just considered this movie fun and kind of weird, but I now have a much bigger respect for it. It’s still pretty fun and weird, though.
One half of my brain is screaming at me that this “sketch” isn’t finished because I didn’t ink it like I’d planned to. The other half of my brain is screaming at me that it looks way better in this rough, penciled format than it would if I inked it and tried to perfect every line. This certainly isn’t the image I pictured in my head when I first conceived my sketch for the week, but I guess that kind of thing happens sometimes. I was originally going to draw three frames from the film in a pseudo comic book page with captions. Then I decided it would look more interesting as an ornate montage. Then, after transferring my sketch of Korben and Leeloo onto the board I just started drawing characters all over the place. I dunno…the layout could be far better, but I’m happy with this piece at the moment. It’s not a standard action shot or character/characters just standing around, so that’s something.
Oh, and I’m no good at drawing likenesses.
