Blog #13 : Diva dance in "The.Fifth.Element"




Inva Mula

  If you had watched the film “The Fifth Element” before, you must have a profound impressive on the song sang by the alien singer. This film is the opening film of the 1997 cannes film festival and won best director of the1998 Kaiser awards, best cinematography and 1998 best effects and sound effects. Although Diva is played by French actress Mawyn Le Beske, the singer is actually Inva Mula, the Albananian Soprano. The aria in “The Fifth Element” soundtrack is divided into two parts: the first part, named “The Latin American Moore Lucia”; the second part named “The Diva Dance”. The end of the first paragraph followed by the start of the second paragraph, to achieve a smooth transition like in the movie.
Mawyn Le Beske
The most innovative representation is one of the reason to make the song unforgettable: main parts is bel canto with the pop music of the instruments. The singer is not a big star, but her beautiful tone is enough to touch everyone’s heart. I have a thought that the most wonderful sound of instruments in the world is human’s voice when I heard this song. The performance of Diva had combined the musical instruments and voice perfectly together, it feels like no longer have a primary and secondary parts. In addition, this seemingly peaceful and harmonious music, is ingeniously foil is undergoing fierce gun battel after the stage, there is humor in solemn and stirring, also had an indelible effect in promoting the plot of the film.
