Trapped in French suburbia with no television and few friends he began to delve into his own imagination for entertainment, and found he could ‘escape reality’[1] by writing of a futuristic world inspired by the comics of legendary French comics creators Jean Giraud (Moebius) and Jean-Claude Mèziéres. Besson started writing The Fifth Element when he was sixteen years old, with no idea how to write a screenplay the film started its life as a novel entitled Zaltman Bleroz, named after the main protagonist (the Korben Dallas character).

Kirjan ENG-2D3 Cregan, N 11/13/2014 The film Dead Poets Society set in the year 1959 focuses on the painfully shy Todd Anderson who is newly enrolled in to Welton Academy, and his roommate Neil Perry who is exceedingly bright and popular, while under the thumb of his over-bearing father. The two, along with their other classmates, meet Professor John Keating, their new English teacher who tells them of the Dead Poet Society; the boys reach over their dream’s and in their own way each of their lives have changed. The element of sound brings a burst of excitement, a hold of suspense, and a grudge of terror as it assembles the very scene we are awaiting. Peter Weir the director of Dead Poets Society has used this element to maximum perfection in this film; he was able to adorn each astonishing scene with an impeccable tune. When Neil Perry is up late at night, just after his dad harshly instructs him to take part in military school and medical school, we don’t know what is going to take effect.
