yeah her acting was out of this world, not sure if any actor has got anywhere near to being this impressive as a charecter in a scifi movie

Horrible grating voice, she says "like" 6000 times

How many times does she say like?

I can only rewatch Fifth Element until Chris Tucker appears. He’s obnoxious, exhausting, and completely distracting to the second half of the film.

Love the story. The artsy fartsy camerawork is obnoxious.

Nice of Milla to pick up some flowers at Trader Joe's before the interview.

This is a great interview. Fifth Element was a Huge movie here in US, at least it was for me. I have always thought of it as one of the best movies…period. I watch it periodically and it is still amazing after all these yrs. Many Sci Fi films do not age well due to the improvements made in cinematography, but this one is still TOP NOTCH! It was great to hear Mila relate her experience with her role and the film.

Milla, is one of the greatest all time beauties. Top 5 for sure.

I so agree with her description of Lilo as "beyond unique". Jovovich and Willis acting is 85% of the reason why I watch the movie a hundred times now. Just awesome. I'm a great fan of her character Lilo. Well done!

Thank you, some welcome memories, so now I have to watch it again.

Best sci-fi movie ever! I only wish that I had seen it in the cinema.

One of my all time favorite movies. The pace, the music as she breaks out of the chamber, the iconic image of her standing on that ledge as the audience is introduced to a completely new futuristic world. So much fun, with a great message.

I wish Milla had had a part in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. She would have been perfect in it! As for The Fifth Element my actual favourite scene isn't Mooltipass it's when Leeloo discovers the joys of eating and pops a plate into the microwave and it comes out with a full blown turkey dinner!

thank you for sharing this insight and especially great to hear it was a such a positive, life-changing event for Milla, not often the case as we hear all too often. An all time classic movie too.

Easily my favorite sci-fi movie, definitely in top 3 movies of all time. Mila stole every scene she was in, and many she wasn't in. 11/10, have watched over 300 times and am never bored.
They had better not EVER make a sequel, because I will NEVER watch that.
@jesp8934

Milla was my first and still is movie star crush ever, and The Fifth Element like many here, I have watched the movie over 20+ times. Soo happy that her life seem to be a blessing. 🙂

She should have talked about how she and her husband ruined the Resident Evil franchise.
