Moulin Rouge

Just saw the movie. What do you think about it? It's not very realistic (all that modern music in Paris 1900), but I still liked it. It's one of those big movies with a capital "B".

The "Show Must Go On" part was fabulous. It really showed how strong and powerful that song is. The part where Nicole Kidman sang "My make-up may be flaking..." was very touching. Reminded me of what happened to Freddie, after all he also died from a lung disease (caused by AIDS).

If you haven't seen this movie, watch it. The SMGO part alone gives you a reason to watch it.

*gasp* i love that movie
probably mainly because of The Show Must Go On

Never watched the movie (I will, I will) but saw it as a musical played by a class at school. It was great! I love the music... Roxanne, for instance.

let's hope paloma won't read this... ;o)

lol You're right Claudi ;^)

The version of 'The Show Must Go On' is one more reason for me to hate the movie.

I love Moulin Rouge, not because of TSMGO, but because it's an awesome, completely original film.

it is one of my fave film EVER. it's bloody great, ewan mc gregor and nicole kidman are amazing and i like all the song performed, especially "your song" and "el tango de roxanne"

..and remember: the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and to be loved in return...

I just saw it a couple of weeks ago.
I never knew Ewan could sing so beautifully! But apart from that it isn't one of my favorite movies by the way, it was ok I guess...

In a Comic Book Guy stylee:

Best. Film. Ever.

That was my favourite movie ever. Evan McGregor sings beautifully, he should be a singer, I love his voice!

"In a Comic Book Guy stylee"

One of the greatest lines ever:

Now make like my pants... and.. split.

I saw this film back in Xmas when I gave my sis the DVD.

IMO, the plot was very predictable. If I can predict what was going to happen, I can't enjoy the film. However, the cinematography was excellent. McGregor's vocals were fab, I wasnt that keen on Kidman's honestly, she sang well.

I also didnt like the film's redition of TSMGO, very dreary.

Yes, but David Wenham (Faramir) in drag is fantastic!

I can't take McGregor seriously as a singer after his "I wanna feel!" scene in Velvet Goldmine.

Well I thought Ewan has a terrific voice, really gave me goosebumps! I bought the soundtrack a couple of days ago, brilliant! I never knew that David Bowie sang Nature Boy, btw!!
