Description "Life, which you so nobly serve, comes from destruction, disorder and chaos. Take this empty glass. Here it is, peaceful, serene and boring. But if it is [Pushes glass off table] destroyed... [robot cleaners move to clean broken glass] Look at all these little things. So busy now."

Hello once again, folks!

Well, another week's gone by and even though I'm uploading this last warm-up for it early into Saturday, technically, it should count for Friday and yet another flawless update-a-day challenge achieved

Continuing the latest trend and seeing how well you all received my two previous pieces from The Fifth Element, here's another for the crowd: the villanous Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg; played masterfully by the guy who can turn psychotic in the blink of an eye, Gary oldman. 
I think that of all the designs in the movie, Zorg's was the most unnerving. Maybe it was the weird plastic wig, or the high-collared shirts, but you knew there was something off about the guy right away and that's a pretty cool takeaway from the film too: if you can establish the role of each character with just his looks, then you have a lot of room to develop it even further without having to have people guess what this guy's about. If that's what you intend of course. Sometimes keeping the villain under wraps is key to the story. But, not so much in this film. Zorg is bombastic and over-the-top and even his name gives away what a prick he must is

Oldman's likeness was perhaps the toughest of the bunch, but I did manage to make it more or less work; the key thing for me here was to get his attitude, which I think I did.

I hope you enjoy as usual and have a great weekend! 

Nic.-

Me gusta, es decir prefiero mucho ma a Ruby rod(chris tucker de verdad se pasa ahi) pero Zorg es un interesante villano

La verdad esta es la unica pelicula en donde me agrada Bruce willis, verlo tal camado comparado con duro de matar es refrescante de ver

Concuerdo y es muy posible que si tengo tiempo visite nuevamente el mundo de The Fifth Element, asi que Ruby será uno de los primeros en aparecer

"You saved my life, and in return I'll spare yours.  For now."
"You're a monster, Zorg."
"I know."

One of my favourite Oldman roles.  He always does such awesome work for Luc Besson.

He does indeed! i think Luc really let him chew the scenery as much as he liked and that always puts actors more at ease with their performances.

Totally.  I mean his performance as Stansfield in Leon the Professional is STILL my favourite thing he's ever done, and since then he's been the definitive Commissioner Jim Gordon in the Dark Knight movies AND Smiley in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.  Gary and Luc REALLY need to do something together again sometime soon.

Agreed! I've loved everything that he did ever since I saw the cop from 'Leon'. Past and present.

It is everything a pulp scifi action movie should be.  Also it's a perfect example of good pacing and timing.
