Best Love story ever - Moulin Rouge

Advantages: Lets out your emotions, makes you see life differently, Brilliant to watch
Disadvantages: there are none!

I would say this is the best Love Story ever since Romeo and Juliet. I have watched this film at least 20 times and know all the lyrics to all the songs. Its just such an emotional film, and yet pure genious at the same time. Christian (Ewan Mcgregor) wants to write a novel about love, his favourite subject. But the only probablem was, he had never been in love.... So while he was thinking what to do, an unconscience argentinian fell through his ...
...Many famous actors are in the film including, Kyle, Nicole Kidman, Ozzy Ozborn, and of course Ewan Mcgregor. There are many songs written by Elton John in this film including, "Your Song" which is sung extremely well by Ewan Mcgregor (Former Obi-Wan-Kanobi from star wars) This film is rated 12, because it has some sexual content in and the storyline may not be understandable to people below that age. This film is so romantic, you would think Romeo ...

Review of Moulin Rouge (Special Edition) (DVD)

Lets put the ROUGE back into the MOULIN..........

Advantages: Great singing and story line. Fab actors.
Disadvantages: Not everyone would like it because it's more of a musical

...like it! Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge A movie, like you have never seen before. This is a magnificent, heartrending, romantic musical, testing love to its maximum limits. The brand-spanking new Moulin Rouge is a fantastic depiction of love, presented by Fox Studios. Exclusive soundtracks accompanied by outstanding soprano and tenor vocals from Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor give a blast of excitement to this musical. The Moulin Rouge is produced ...
...found "Greece" and "Chicago" compelling, Moulin Rouge is an addition to this exquisite selection. With more exhilaration, thrills and twists, you could even say Luhrmann's movie is visually opulent, funny and the flawless cast without a doubt reinvent the ethnicity of blue époque Paris with magical realism. Set in Paris 1899, the Moulin Rouge highlights the magic of summer love. A young, audacious, gifted writer called Christian (Ewan McGregor) departs ...

Review of Moulin Rouge (+CD) (DVD)

Half Naked Inside an Elephant!

Advantages: EVERYTHING!
Disadvantages: The DVD Extras are pointless - see review.

...but here we go… Moulin Rouge: I am a huge fan of musicals but the other half isn’t keen. The Moulin Rouge however keeps both of us happy. I was trying to find a succinct sentence that could some up the Moulin Rouge but it has almost as many facets as the diamonds the lead character sings about! For those of you who have never watched the Moulin Rouge it is a musical about the famous “dancehall” in Paris of the same name and directed by Baz Luhrmann. ...
...The theatrical setting of the Moulin Rouge lends itself perfectly to the somewhat zany plot. For me the casting is inspired. Nicole Kidman plays Satine and is both beautiful and charming in the role. The role really does fir her like glove and her over-acted moments, where Satine seems slightly demented, enhance the film beyond measure. She really is a dream to watch. Opposite her is Ewan Mcgregor who plays the naïve and love-sick Christian perfectly ...

In my opinion you must see the film if you like musicals, otherwise you might find the singing a bit off putting .At times the siniging can seem a bit over the top but in general this is what makes the film interesting.It is worth watching just to see the on screen chemistry between Ewan Mcgregor and Nicole Kidman they are a great pairing and seem to have good on screen presence allowing you to follow the romantic tale which is played out . The ...
