A sad spectacular movie

Rating: 8/10 (3 March 2005)

I liked this movie quite a bit. It was visually stunning, and all the actors were marvelous in it.
I loved the way the modern songs were woven through the movie. When I heard the premise, I thought it was going to be dumb, but it worked well. The scene on the rooftop where Satine and Christian sing back and forth to each other was wonderfully done.
Spoiler...don't read ahead if you don't want the end spoiled!!!
My only problem with this movie is the end. I understand why it ended the way it did, but I can't help feeling that they writers could have let them have some time to be happy together without the duke hanging around.
