Startled but not surprised at how our poet feels connected
to Leeloo character in The fifth Element this strange twist of innocence and
potency inherit in both
Leeloo is a godlike figure in the movies mythology the
startling beautiful redhead who will save the universe or at least our corner
of it from the nasty aliens
Our poet has a similar attribute a certain innocence --The
experience kind Blake went on and on about and a definite sense of self-worth
which she constantly questions she would like to save the world I think
Her attraction to Leeloo character says a lot I might have
guessed in that she often finds herself in a corrupt world among people who
would want to use her for their own purposes such as the general in the movie and is
constantly searching for an ally such as the cab driver who loves her for what
she is rather than what she can do
Like Leeloo our poet is constantly surrounded by users -- even
the priests who need to exploit her power and her beauty whereas the cab driver
who sees her innocence are rare in these days
Leeloo like her poet resists being rescued partly because
she perceives herself as powerful enough to overcome evil and yet in reality
must rely on others who she trusts and
who can determine how she will come out in the end
And she remains apotent gift to the real hero if she indeed
can ever find one
