Spectacular! Spectacular!

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2001)

Most movies nowadays try to be as realistic as possible. And I began to ask, 'whatever happened to going to a movie, and you still know its a movie throughout the whole thing?' and with Moulin Rouge I did. It was a fantastic ride. The colors, the costumes, the story, was amazing. Sure, it was a simple love story, but it was huge. So many elements, drama, suspense, music, comedy, everything was in this film, and I left the theatre totally shocked. Baz Luhrman is simply a genius. This incredible idea he had, about the Moulin Rouge and integrating modern songs into it...brilliant! My vote's a ten. A wonderful movie experience, you won't soon forget.
