Besson pushes the subject a bit to shock the audience, but never far enough that we stop believing the character altogether. We sympathize with Mathilda’s plight and yet she scares us out a bit with her subdued infatuation with Leon. One of my favorite examples has to be in “Leon the Professional” where its characters, particularly the precocious 12-year-old Mathilda Lando and Norman Stansfield, are both familiar and off-putting at the same time. It’s an odd balance that he strikes so beautifully in all his work. We always feel that his most outrageous moments are not so outlandish. And yet we always feel that he’s retaining a certain level of conservative cinematic structure in his movies. Just when you think you might have his intentions pinned down because he’s given you something rather traditional, he throws a curveball that turns expectations on their head.
The director, whether working on an animated film, a suspense thriller, or a sci-fi classic, always manages to keep the viewer shocked and comfortable at the same time. Luc Besson’s films are strange and yet familiar. This week’s installment features Luc Besson’s “ The Fifth Element.” We will select a section or a film in its entirety, highlighting the impact that utilizing the operatic form or sections from an opera can alter our perception of a film that we are viewing. So it would still take 2 hours (in our example) for the signal to be exchanged between planets.“Opera Meets Film” is a feature dedicated to exploring the way that opera has been employed in cinema. But the speed of light is a universal constant that can't be changed or exceeded. And they are talking over the phone in real time with no signal delay! 2) President and his cabinet - who are on Earth - are observing events on Fhloston via radio with no signal delay! How that might be? I realise that movie events take place in the future where new advanced communication technologies might be invented. But 1) After Corben enters his hotel room on Fhloston he gets call from his mother who is on Earth. That means it would take 2 hours for radio signal originated from Fhloston to reach Earth. Let's say the flight at hyper-speed takes 2 hours. And the flight takes long enough for the spaceship crew to put passengers asleep. Question: Corben and Leeloo fly to Fhloston Paradise planet in spaceship at hyper-speed (around speed of light).
