 No, that's not elements. It's a star-crossed lover story, and star-crossed lover stories are timeless. They go back to the days of Aladdin, bases for the Bronte sisters. How about Romeo and Juliet? And a really good one that calls to mind with this film is West Side Story. The conflict was over their racial backgrounds. Elemental does the unforgivable. Elemental stereotypes its races by their personality.
