I have just watched Pogo....I am speechless....I am worried about her......does she ever smile in her personal life? Is she a happy person?
In an interview Besson stated The Fifth Element was not a "big theme movie", although the film's theme was an important one. He wanted viewers to reach the point where Leeloo states "What's the use of saving life when you see what you do with it?", and agree with her
Liza, Elena, Adelina, and Irina before them... nah, I don't think it's a Russian thing. Even Yulia smiles after her programs (and during parts of her program when it fits). To me, it looks like Anna's not quite comfortable with the audience/cameras yet.It could be Russian culture, where smiling in public (or staged 'smiling' in general) is seen as being very strange. But this doesn't seem to stop other girls like Radionova, so I dunno what to say here.
I still think there is something to be said about Anna choosing to play that character in an exhibition. Does she relate to this character somehow?
Even in her short program and free skate, you don't see a whole lot of positive emotion on Anna's face. The only times she's shown clear emotion is usually when she is distraught over a sub-par performance. Anna never looks like she is having fun out on the ice, but YMMV.

I think there might be some cultural influence, but Russians have different personalities just like people from anywhere else. And some of the skaters may have had acting lessons and/or media training, or are just naturally more extroverted. But in any case, I wouldn't really expect Leeloo to have a huge smile on her face.
Doesn't anyone worry about Adian? :confused2: He didn't crack a smile in his exhibition either, and not even on the podium. (What was he trying to portray in his ex, anyway?)
I don't think there is anything to worry about with either of them, really...there are sufficient photos of them on Instagram where they look happy enough.
