Mar'mite Rouge?

Rating: 2/10 (29 March 2005)

There are many things that will never be explained... How did humanity come into existence? How many stars are in the sky? Who invented liquid soap and why? Why do we hurt the ones we love? Why is Moulin Rouge! so popular? I just don't understand it. This movie is truly like mar'mite, it's either loved or loathed. Never before has a movie caused so many arguments, it's almost hilarity. Is this what Baz Luhrmann intended? I myself, abhor it, the swirling camera movements, the non-stop action, the music, the lights, the colours, the acting. It just all gives me a headache. Jim Broadbent especially, with his f**king ugly face filling the entire screen through many moments.
I think this film is just horrid, horrid, horrid. I have nothing to recommend it, but it is so popular, and who am I to say what's good and bad? Moulin Rouge! is truly the cinematic equivalent of mar'mite...
