Moulin Rouge is excellent!!

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2001)

Satinne is an aspiring actress who is stuck performing for Moulin Rouge until she is discovered. One night a Duke is in attendance at Moulin Rouge who will give Satinne her big break. Christian, the writer who wants to be discovered, is also and is mistaken for the Duke. Christian and Satinne meet and sparks fly, literally, while the real Duke is jealous. The visuals are amazing in this movie and the songs will keep you humming and kicking your feet. Go see it! I was very unsure about seeing this movie, but reluctantly went to see it with friends. I had no idea what it would be about. Within five minutes I was loving it. It is a whole new musical about love. The songs were great, and I loved the use of many titles in the Elephant Love Medley. The fact that Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor actually do their own singing really impressed me. I particularly enjoyed the "Truth Beauty Freedom Love" theme....Get the soundtrack! And I don't mean for Lady Marmalade......
