  This aria always puts me in both a sad place as well as a happy one. As for the movie I think it's a way to foreshadow things to come. The opening doesn't fit well with the aria but at the end it makes some sort of sense.

  It's composed in a baroque style, not true baroque, embellishments are stylistically appropriate. So the the B is a nice touch.

  Without diction the piece would prove less functional. Sure the lyrics are always secondary to the music but never the less it is still an important principle. If I am an idiot for stating this then every other trained singer is the same!
