Moulin Rouge is a complex musical that by it's very nature is just not going to appeal to everyone. It is set in the early 1900's and pairs concepts from several previously done movies and plays (including one from Shakespeare) with music from the 1980's. The costumes, scenery and choreography are fabulous. The first 20 minutes or so of the storyline, however, is a mess- it moves VERY quickly and is VERY difficult to follow (it wasn't until I watched the movie a 2nd time that I even had a clue). BUT, if you can get past the intro what unfolds is a very romantic (and tragic) love story, set to fun music, that is absolutely HILARIOUS in parts (i.e. a comical dance set to Madonna's Like a Virgin). I'm not ashamed to say I even cried a bit at the end. My advice is give it a try- you'll either love it or hate it, but either way you'll have watched a very unique movie for today's standards.Read full review
Who knew Ewan Mcgregor had a phenomenal voice until this movie or that Nicole Kidman could command the screen with something other than her beautiful eyes and long legs. This movie had great music, a phenomenal plot with many twists and turns, and a soundtrack that combined elements and songs in such a way that was entertaining and humorous. The costumes and cinematography will keep your mind going well past the drop of the curtain and the last time the words are uttered--the only thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return
My daughter had asked over and over for this movie so I finally broke down and bought it through ebay. I myself was pleasantly surprised its a good movie..alot of good songs are in it. Nicole Kidman is fantastic and who knew the guy from star wars could sing.
