It is not a spoiler in 2025 that the message of
Luc Besson's 1997 film
The Fifth Element is "Love". The fifth element itself ( a revelation in the end of the film ) appears to be Love. And the thesis is that Love is the thing that can defeat the evil in the world. But looking at the film and the behind the scenes drama around it, you can say that Besson didn't really mean love in its purest sense. But he was instead preaching a Bonobo Philosophy. Where "love" or in modern language sex, is used to deescalate conflict. Bonobos are known to fuck each other instead of fighting with each other, making themselves more peaceful. Looking at how horny
The Fifth Element ( and Luc Besson ) is, the Bonobo philosophy theory sounds to be a much more plausible reading of the film. Making it very tragic indeed.

While
Brian De Palma was making
Carrie ( as a part of his
Alfred Hitchcock imitation films ),
Alfred Hitchcock himself was making his last picture
Family Plot, where he used the composer from
Steven Spielberg's
Jaws John Williams for the score. De Palma, probably knowing Williams through Spielberg, decided to mess around with Hitchcock himself, making a sort of yet another
Carrie ( a film about people with superpowers ) but this time hiring John Williams himself for the score. And weirdly enough ( while Spielberg was finishing
Close Encounters and starting
1941 where his camera sexually obsessed over De Palma's GF at the time
Nancy Allen ) De Palma hires Spielberg's girlfriend at the time
Amy Irving for the lead role.

In
James Cameron's
Avatar humans are attacking the forests of Pandora, bulldozing and killing indigenous population of the planet, to get to the natural resources their tribes are sitting at. The military is literally playing a role of guards, for the bulldozers, because the indigenous have become sort of very upset with humans, that terrorize their land. This is sort the plot of
Eli Roth's horror film
The Green Inferno, just Roth makes it way way more viscerally.

People often complain about dumb movies with too much unnecessary spoon-feeding. We get so much explaining and over-explaining that the brain hurts sometimes. You already know what is going on. You are following the story. You don't need no god damned reminder of what you are watching. And yet the studio heads still think that you are too dumb to understand what's going on in front of you on the screen.
Respecting the audience on the other hand is a leap of faith on a part of a film-maker and only the greatest do that well.
Quentin Tarantino with his 2019 film
Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood takes the hardest such leap of his career.

Christopher Nolan was developing his spy movie
Tenet for decades before its release in 2020. In 2014 Nolan already was fully in the writing process on the script. While the general public didn't know much about the project, other filmmakers, including the French director
Luc Besson probably could know something about it. And so trying to beat Nolan at his own game, Besson quickly wrote and directed his own spy movie with a palindrome title:
Anna.

The 1970s are an interesting time when it comes to cinema history. It is the time after
the code was changed into the MPAA rating system ( allowing more violence, nudity and harsh language on the screen ) and yet before new blog-baster Hollywood was born. 1976's
Carrie by
Brian De Palma was already released after the 1974
Steven Spielberg sensation
Jaws. But still before
George Lucas broke the planet with his
Star Wars. Everybody knew the movies were intense at that time. Some of the most depressing shit came out at the 1970s. And with it, there was also
Carrie. A psycho-sexual revenge-tale about child-abuse.
