Moulin Rogue Sets The Screen Ablaze..
This film/musical is a Must See.!!
Its visually incredible..I was literally trembling when I left the theater (I have just seen it in New York ).
It has gr8 romance, drama, comedy and fantastic music.!!
See it with an open mind...modern music in a "period " movie may be a bit anachronistic, but this movie grabs you and goes beyond.
It was thoroughly enjoyable, unique, and fun.
This movie catches your attention from the very beginning, and I'm talking about the 20th Century Fox bit kind of beginning.
I didn't quite know what to expect from the previews and the pre-movie hype, but I've learned to stop listening to critics.
This was like no movie that I've seen in the past few years.

Why I it so much:
Any music fans in the audience will have to see this movie at least 2 times to catch all of the lyric quotes.
If for nothing else, go see this movie just for the "Like a Virgin " scene.
You get to see a not-so-hot Moulin Rouge owner sing Madonna's classic to the villianous The Duke.
It is so hilarious.!!
The soundtrack is straight from the movie, so when you're done you can pick up on some of the covers that you missed.

Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and Most Importantly..
Seriously.
The first time I saw MOULIN ROUGE, I laughed, I cried, I was on the edge of my seat, my emotions ran the gamut from A to Z..
.. and I came out of the theater curiously elated but exhausted at the same time [ I was singing "Your Song" in the lobby of the theater while I waited for my ride ].
The second time, I was just happy.
I already knew what was going to happen, so I was able to sit back and just let it wash over me.!!
That's absolutely essential for enjoying this movie... you have to just totally suspend disbelief and let it wash over you like a tidal wave.
You'll be carried along on the ride of your life -- part turn-of-the-century melodrama, part stage show, part music video, complete with some of the most gorgeous movie music it has ever been my pleasure to hear.

MOULIN ROUGE is the story of Christian , a poor poet who comes to Paris to write.
He meets a group of Bohemians , who persuade him to write a play -- "Spectacular Spectacular " -- to be performed at the Moulin Rouge.
The star of the Moulin Rouge is Satine, a can-can dancer who wants to be a real actress... of course, she and Christian fall in love, but their love is thwarted by the evil Duke -- the investor in their show who owns the deed to the Moulin Rouge and wants Satine for himself.

It's a simple story, as old as the hills, so there's nothing too new here... what IS new is the expression of the story -- the glorious set design, the music, and the sheer joy that went into the making of the film.
MOULIN ROUGE is, above all, about love... including the love of the filmmakers, cast, and crew for the story they told [and the of the studio executive who called it "the most special film [he's] ever been involved with"].

Nicole Kidman & Ewan McGregor have gr8 voices and are, of course, as visually appealing as everything else is in this movie.
You wind up rooting for these two lovebirds , laughing & crying with them.
I own the DVD and it has gr8 bonus features such as extended versions of some of the songs and Baz tells how he got the movie to look so good.!!

The dancing scenes are well done, and the story seems believable.
The opulent scenes are extremely well done.
The only negative I would note is the shaky camera in the scenes on the elephant (Shouldn't they have been using a steadycam? ) ..

If you like musicals, definitely go to see this.
It's worth seeing on the big screen, where all the dance numbers can be seen fully.
This is a very powerful movie.
People seem to it or it.
Some may say it is overrated, but I strongly disagree, because so many, like me, this movie.
It seems to be a bit more enjoyed by woman..
.. but everyone should get something out of it.
It's simply just a very exciting movie, and probably the best Australian movie ever made.
