Moulin Rouge was spectacular!!

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2005)

I thought Moulin Rouge was spectacular!! The vibrant costumes, sets, and characters made the whole movie come alive in it's own sense. I was amazed to see two actors I'd never known could sing (Ewan McGreggor and Nicole Kidman) project such astounding voices! I loved all the little musical jokes in the movie like McGreggor belting out The Sound of Music to McGreggor and Kidman singing a wonderful medley of classic songs. I loved the conflicts and "close calls" that all of the characters faced in this movie. Baz Luhrman put a magnificent twist on a basic "love-triangle" plot, making it one of the most amazing, funny, tear-jerking movies I have ever seen.
