"Diva," was an interesting movie but I was pretty confused at some points. First off I thought the main character was creepy, and obsessed with this opera singer. The way he went about his obsession with her was a little bit psychotic. There where two recording tapes involved; one was incriminating someone and the other was a tape recording of an opera singer that had never been recorded or ever heard herself sing. It just got confusing keeping track of everything at some parts. I do enjoy watching old movies, sometimes, to see how things have changed since then. In this movie the difference in technology is brought to your attention. Besides it being an old movie, so the camera technology doesn't give you the best quality, the cars were a lot older than today. It is amazing how far we have come in the style of cars but also the technology of cars. Instead of rolling up windows manually we can click the button once and the window will go all the way up automatically. Instead of stick shift we have cars that you push a button to start; they even have cars that drive themselves. What also demonstrated how far we have advanced in our technology, is the tape recordings. Now a days it would be very hard, close to impossible to not have people record your music, since it is so easy. Anyone could press a button on their phone and record something; they have pens that record things, microscopic cameras, etc. With the tape recording it also brought to my attention how harmful situations could be avoided. If this lady who made the incriminating recording had an iPhone she could have recorded herself saying what ever she wanted and sent it to some electronically to help her; or she or anyone could post it to the internet for everyone to see. The gap in technology was interesting to see, but what was really lovely was the art, the music from this amazing opera singer. Her voice was just incredible and I thought it was crazy she never heard herself sing.
