5th Element

I was very excited to find out that our assignment would be to review the Diva Dance scene from 5th Element. This movie, and specifically this scene, has been one of my favorites ever since I was little and my Dad had showed me this movie. I love this scene because of the wide voice range that Pravalaguna sings in. This is an incredible scene because Pravalaguna has the ability to sing what she feels is going on at the moment. She sings what is in her intuition. Her song parallels the fight between Leelo and the disgusting bad creatures. Every punch, stance, and kick has a specific note sequence that goes along with the actions, making the scene incredibly entertaining on two different levels. The first level is the fight scene going on, and the second scene is listening and watching Pravalaguna sing. It is amazing how the two levels interconnect. It is also important to note the chemistry and connection between Pravalaguna and Bruce Willis during the performance. It is the same tension that Leelo and Bruce Willis's character have. It is almost as if Pravalaguna has felt the soul of Leelo and is singing what Leelo is feeling at the moment.
