First Time Watching *The Fifth Element* .......... MULTIPASS! 

😂

😂😂😂

You’re 100% correct. I used to use that scene to test and show off my audio and video setup on my home theater. The vocal feats performed in that opera are supposedly impossible for a real human to actually sing. There are videos on RU-vid of people trying…famous professional singers…and they come close, but no one quite does it exactly.

@@BDogg2023 It's not impossible and is in fact a real Opera song called "The aria "Il dolce suono" from the opera "Lucia di Lammermoor"" by composer Gaetano Donizetti in Italian. During recording/filming of t he movie it was performed behind the scenes by the opera singer Inva Mula. On The Fifth Elemt OST the song is called "Diva Dance" or something like that I believe.

@@TheDeadStretch *Ahem*… I will refer you to the words of the composer himself. From an article entitled “The Fifth Element Diva Song Was Literally Impossible to Sing Until Now” Remember Diva Plavalaguna from The Fifth Element? Remember how amazing her voice was, not to mention her range? There’s actually a story behind the song because it isn’t 100% what it seems. While much of the song is sung by a real opera singer there are actually notes in there that human beings can’t actually reach. This is a story told by Eric Serra Eric Serra tells about the notorious diva scene played by his girlfriend at the time Maïwenn, and of which he composed the music. “In that scene Maïwenn plays the diva but the voice is not hers, it is the one of a true opera singer, the Albanian Inva Mula. When the scene is shot she is a young talented soprano, yet her agent was Maria Callas’ one too, showing, if need to be, that she was already a promising artist. Today she is in the world’s top ten sopranos. For the scene to work, we needed her to sound like an alien, thereforee we had to create notes that no human could sing. So I purposely wrote un-singable things, some too low, some too high, sentences that were too fast, I would then arrange it with the sampler.” Like I said…they come close. Very close. But not exact. Thanks for playing.

Especially when he makes his 1st appearance in the movie.... Dancing and sliding in the hallway with his Mic 🎤!! *Chris is an awesome actor!!!* When you can go from *"You got knocked the FUCK OUT"* ...Friday (President Deebo) to his character in this awesome movie 🍿🎥👍

​@@seanpatton7406Add the Rush Hour movies to the list as well. "Stop eating thyroids!!!"

I saw an interview with Chris Tucker he said prine was supposed to play the part he played but passed on it that's how Chris Tucker got the part

They actually tried to get Prince in the role and he said no. Probably where Chris got the inspiration from.

Prince had the part, but thought the costumes were a bit too, feminine. He wanted total control over his wardrobe & wanted to design his own clothes. Worse, they had to accept whatever he came up with. They said no thank you. Prince left the project when he couldn't have things his way.

This is how I named my dog too.

Loool we also named our cat leeloo

Omg similar story, I named one of my 1st cats Leelu different spelling but the whole name on paperwork and my mother still has her... she called her mama LeeLu and now just Mama, and she's still alive had a few litters and is 10+ years old... late 2000 somethin is when I got her as a kitten....

Omg are you my sister?! My dad used to reserve every movie from blockbuster every Tuesday, and our dog was named leeloo!!

I hope someone called their dog Corban Dallas

I love this movie, actually, his reminds me I need to watch it again,it’s been too long!❤❤🔥🔥

That's because it was such an awesome movie. I could watch this movie a thousand times and never get bored of it.

I miss movies like this, everything now is crafted on computers and in green screens.. It all feels fake compared to older movies.

@@kellynolen498 I did many bits on t h e film but the main stunt was the airport explosion. I was the guy far left flying through the Air. Great movie.

We loved this movie growing up. Still a classic. Congrats

That’s only for a shot though.

I'm pretty sure Bruce also didn't know that Milla would be speaking the fictional language made for the film in the scene where their characters meet.

Hey thanks, this is an old fave and I never knew that, it adds to the scene. Appreciate you!

He almost didn't have the part. His character was to be cast by Prince, but due to him being on tour, he couldn't.

Bzzzzz!

It got "Valerian and The City of A Thousand Planets", also made by Luc Besson, which is close enough. 💜💙❤️

My kids and I cannot say this word with out saying it Mool-tee-pass. It just is.

🤣👌

He's one of the few that can literally play ANY role to perfection. From pimp Drexl in True Romance, murdering drug addled cop in The Professional to good cop In The Dark Knight... Man nails it every time.

Your right just noticed that, love this movie! The previews were vague so going in we didn't know what to expect, once it was over we were blown away!

I'm still waiting for a reactor to react to Sid and Nancy, with a very young Gary Oldman 'as' Sid Vicious. The film is not highly regarded by critics, but that's because everybody thinks it's a biopic, it's not, it's a punk fairy tale.

@@clevelandcbi To Oscar win as Winston Churchill😀

I was watching the Harry Potter series and got to Serious Black. I said, "Hey, I know that guy." I had never seen any of his other work, and I'm not one to recognize actors from one project to another. I popped in my fifth element DVD, and then I knew. I only recognized him because I had so much admired his performance as Zorg. Gary is awesome. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This was a favourite of my late bestie and I as young single ladies living together. We watched it all weekend because friends and relatives came by and couldn’t figure out what was happening. Glad you had your friend, even if your time together was too short, appreciate you sharing a memory like that. My nephews recently watched this and text me asking if I had ever heard about it seeing as it was from my century…#oldandhumbled😂

​@@dianedavid3052My daughter called Metallica "classic rock" the other day. I feel your pain.

​@@clevelandcbi they play 90s alternative on classic rock stations now 😢

Do you know if he had a thing for the Asari from Mass Effect? lol

Fun ass movie!

Even better it didn't get sequeled to death. If it came out in the 2010s we would be groaning at next summers 11th element movie, lol

its a movie with almost everything! action, romance, intrigue, comedy, cool costume designs, memorable characters, big setpiece moments, singing and dancing… what more could you want?

@@c.o.6414great music too

i feel like there won't ever be another like it again

🤯

Because television and radio clearly didn't exist before the 21st century. I know, because I was born more than 50 years ago, and before the internet came along all we ever did was sit on the lawn and watch grass grow. We didn't even know there was a world beyond the grass right in front of us. All of a sudden, internet showed up and it was like all new people came alive that never existed before.

​@@mgordon1100 lol I know right

​@@mgordon1100lol

Reckt

@@mgordon1100 Those were dark days indeed

Yes! People often talk about Johnny Depp being a chameleon.... and he's great, too. But Gary Oldman is almost unrecognizable from role to role 🥰

And Dracula.

@@bob7975and Sid Vicious!

Can't forget about Drexel in True Romance..."I didn't know it was white boy day"😂

And comissoner gordon And the bad guy in the book of eli You probably.

And Prince's reason: He didn't like the costumes.

@@samwallaceart288 his loss 😆

​@davepowers3194 Somehow, he survived.

@@tahirahshabazz50 well, *technically*…

@@davepowers3194And our gain. There's no way he would have been as fun as Tucker. Prince took himself too seriously.

But in the end it's a love story😘

Perfect Being with a Multipass!

Mulllltea...passss

at my age when I see Tom "Tiny" Lister I think of Zues.

I thought it was too over-the-top goofy in the theater. Probably watched it a dozen times since and swear it just gets better every time.

Leo will never recognize Gary Oldman in True Romance 😉

His accents are phenomenal too. You would never guess from this movie that he's British

​@@LordVolkovhaha yep and he was fantastic in leon the professional👍

Lmfao….yokavich 😂😂

​@@ryan6530Gary Oldman is the textbook answer of what being an actor is all about.

I love him as Dracula in the Bram Stokers version with Keanu Reeves .i think that was his career breakthru role

​@@jasonuvartfeather369I think his break out role was as Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy. An incredible performance.

@@looneygardeneryes!

Loved Gary Oldham as Carnegie in the Book of Eli, opposite Denzel. What a great movie!

❤

A lot of it IS synthesiser...as in the modern part

Much of the second part is artificial - deliberately made as "not humanly possible".

All of the notes are sung. The thing that makes her sound alien is how they edited it together simply bc there are sentences/phrases that are simply too fast to be sung together, to get to point A to point B. But not the actual notes. So the splicing you hear is that but every note was sung. You can also find some amazing live versions of it by other opera singers. You can hear the difference, sure, but its all just enhanced real vocals. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kJl2uPNsJEk.html&pp=ygUcaW52YSBtdWxhIGZpZnRoIGVsZW1lbnQgbGl2ZQ%3D%3D

​@@bexxgenx3165there are literally notes beyond the human vocal range

Understandable, it does feel like a whole different movie from that point(The Cruiseship) on!!

Chris Tucker has that in common with Orson Welles; doesn't show up until the 2nd half of the movie, _but immediately_ becomes the main character

Yeah, she's often overlooked because she's mostly been in awful movies, but she's fantastic in the good roles she's had.

She was in Zoolander as well and her character was scary hot.

@@korie4198 katinka Ingabogovinanana 😂

Yes! The "impossible song".

It's not Catherine Jenkins. It's Inva Mula...Catherine Jenkins couldn't sing the Mad Scene in a million years

Never Kathrin Jenkins She is to young to sing this part in Fifth Element. This was a more mature great voice.

Best real singer perfoming this song live: Dimash Kudaibergen - Diva Dance (all his other songs are crazy too!!)

Welcome to the Family! XOXO 😉💜😎 #NYGenXBIKERLady

Also in the eighties as Sid Vicious in “Sid and Nancy”.
