> I know A New Hope was released in 1977, that's why I said "except A New Hope"? Is except the wrong word? Maybe I shoulda said "with the addition of A New Hope" I don't know, I'm no English majer.

Obviously not, it's "major" with an o. But now I'm just trying to bug you :P You should have said "with the addition of..."

> And yes beauty is easier to show, which is why they shoulda gone the wisdom route. I'm betting Jeses was physically perfect, being the Son of the Almighty and all, but his teachings were emphasized. It's just the harder thing to do, like a good story with little action rather than a lot of action with little story, because there are others more beautiful than Milla. Like Gillian.

You sure he was physically perfect? I always got the impression that Jesus wasn't necessarily a very attractive guy, but rather that people were drawn to him for what he had to say. But anyway, the 5th Element was meant to be a quirky little action/sci-fi movie, not one in which we got a bunch of philosophy (i.e. not Star Trek). I think that in the sort of flick 5E was, the amount of exposition they spent on Leeloo's perfection was adequate. Besides, I don't know that she was mentally "perfect" -- just physically so.
