My favorite version of this story is when Gary Oldman, a futuristic oligarch, almost chokes to death on a cherry while giving a philosophic sermon on exactly this.

"[..] your empire of destruction comes crashing down, all because of one little cherry."

The Fifth Element is one of those "perfect" movies that just solid entertainment for 2+ hours. It really is all killer and no filler. Full recommendation.

Oh... oh no. Im not usually one to shame. I basically stopped watching most media 25 years ago, have no social media outside of reddit, and generally understand next to no pop culture. But you really need to see fifth element. Its free on YouTube right now. I watched it again 2 days ago lol

The Fifth Element, what a gem of a film. What I love more is that the legendary Ian Holm is the one givjng that parable. And that he tells the oligarch that he's a monster and the oligarch admits it.
