“The Fifth Element: The Apocalypse Takes On An Intergalactic Tone.” Catholic-resources. Web. 4 January 2013. <http://catholic-resources.org/Millennium/ApocFilm90s/element.htm>
The author talks about how the movie initially looks like an average science fiction film but under that impression lies something else besides all the good visual effects for its time. The battle between good and evil is a major theme in this film, like so many other works that have been done in the past. The character Leeloo in the movie represents life and good, she is also first seen in the movie wearing all white. The evil in the movie is named Mr. Shadow and he is a giant black sphere out in space headed for Earth. The black color often represents evil and the white color represents good, this movie displays both these symbols. Humorously, the author then mentions the review of the movie done by Roger Ebert and infers that he completely missed the point of the movie.
