The Divine Language
A site documenting the pretty neat project that is the “divine language” spoken by Leeloo in the film. The story behind it, lots of materials from Luc Besson, and dictionaries in either direction.

Affordances and Constraints in the Fifth Element by Chris Noessel
Chris Noessel, upcoming guest co-host and interface design expert, made a cool video a while ago on the user interfaces in the film. Really worth a watch for a hint of the sort of thing we’ll talk about when he’s on. 🙂

Show Notes
The Film
90s, Leeloo’s thermal tape, awesome hair.
Alien Species
Space turtles, space orcs, space squids, space humans. Archeology and ancient mythology. Chamber design.
Malevolent Evil
The possible nature of the evil space-mass. Zorg’s motivations. Broken window fallacy.
200 Billion Citizens
Overpopulation. Governance over interstellar distances. Real-time FTL space comms. Space wizards. Space borders.
Building Leeloo
3d printing skeletons. Genetic design and genetic data storage.
The Stones
Sufficiently advanced technology indistinguishable from magic. Good and bad places to smuggle 20 pounds of stone. “Space opera.” Impossible series of vocal notes. Saved by love, or something.
Goodbyes
We green?
