Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem
Movie • 2003 • Adventure
ReportSynopsis
Four talented alien musicians are kidnapped by a record producer who disguises them as humans. Shep, a space pilot in love with bass player Stella, follows them to Earth. Reprogrammed to forget their real identities and renamed The Crescendolls, the group quickly becomes a huge success playing soulless corporate pop. At a concert, Shep manages to free all the musicians except Stella, and the band sets out to rediscover who they really are -- and to rescue Stella.

Shep's crush on Stella has strong "courtly acts of service" vibes, and that might make viewers uncomfortable because other stories mishandle the trope. However I've seen this many times, and nothing felt inappropriate, resentful, or entitled. There's a (chaste) romantic scene between them, but she is visibly charmed and actively consents.

The aliens are altered in both body and memory to appear human, and (spoiler) as they regain their bodies and memories, they appear confused and unnerved.

Realistically no. But on a very large technicality....kinda yes? Octave's hairstyle and facial features are "Black coded," and so when the bad guys go to disguise his blue skin to make him look human, they (accurately) give him a Black skin tone.

Yes and (MAJOR SPOILERS) one of the protagonists, Shep, is shot in the right armpit area. There's extended dramatic sequences and closeups of his pained face, trembling hand, a lot of golden alien blood pooling on the floor, and then his makeshift bandages and dirty mattress. He does not end up surviving.
