Donnie darko and the fifth element are terribly overrated. Films made to make teenagers think they’re deeper than they are.

Okay, I can at least see where you’re coming from with Donnie Darko, but I’m completely confused when it comes to The Fifth Element.

  • Did The Fifth Element even have any teenage characters at all?
  • It doesn’t seem like it dealt with anything remotely like typical real-world teenage life.
  • I can’t see how it treated anything as being especially deep, either. I mean, the characters were flat and goofy, not complex and angst-ridden.

I mean, there are countless movies aimed at teens could maybe fit your criticism, but this seems like a movie where it’s simply inapplicable.

Is there any chance that you’re thinking of a different movie with a similar name?
