Does it seriousherly not bother any one that?


Bruce Willis is 20 years older than Milla Jovovich. Did that not come off as just a a bit creepy to anyone but me.

reply

Not at all. It is peculiar and rather creepy that you should think so.

reply

ooo! Yeah, you're right! this pair always bothered me, they were so bad together. And the difference of age was very probably one of the reasons. Maybe only Jean Reno could have established a vibrant kinda queer connection, but certainly not a macho like Willis, and that wasn't the right film for a queer connection, it was just a positive, laid-back sci-fi action. Oh i miss that atmosphere of far, blind sci-finesse, btw!

No. 20 years is not a big gap in the history of mankind.





'Then' and 'than' are different words - stop confusing them.

What's creepy about it? Obviously the Fifth Element doesn't find anyone her age--infinity--that she cares for, and the young dudes of the time don't measure up to her Supreme Being expectations.

I also love it when you young guys are bothered by the sex and romantic appeal of perceived older men.

In other words, I think you guys are pathetic.

Luc Besson, the director began dating the lady who played the Diva in 1991 when she was 15 (he was 32) and married her the following year. He also began dating Milla during the filming of 'Element which led to their divorce.

reply

No, stop being jealous.

Actually, he's 40-50 years older, since we see LeeLou being created in the first act.

Its more creepy that a whole load of women in real life seem to whore themselves out to older men because they are rich.
Look at the glossy gossipy celebrity bullshit pages.
Rich Famous man - younger wife , who mysteriously finds the man 20 to 30 years older to be husband material.
And nobody minds , this apparently is socially acceptable.
Little girls say things like "When I grow up I'm going to marry a doctor or a lawyer"

which , reading between the lines means
"I'm gonna to marry for money"
which , reading further between the lines , and i hate to say it , but that means
"I'm going to be a prostitute"
