This is my favourite movie...

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2002)

I really think "Moulin Rouge!" should have won the Oscar for the Best Movie in 2001, and perhaps Nicole Kidman could have won the Oscar for the Best Actress, but I'm not so sure of that. "Moulin Rouge!" is that kind of movie that you only see once in a lifetime. Jim Broadbent himself says that no one he knows has ever done a movie like this one. "Moulin Rouge!" is a movie, it's true, but it's a SHOW. Completely... Delicious to the eyes, to the ears and to the heart. The music is amazingly touching. As Ewan McGregor says, some of the lines are just to simple to be spoke, they have to be sung, and they turn into something beautiful. The voices of the actors are very good, and adjusted to their personality. All the colour in the costumes and scenaries, turn this movie into a masterpiece. Baz Luhrmann did an amazing job, he achieved something that no other director had ever achieved: Turn a movie into a small little sweet chocolate, that totally praises your heart, and everytime you eat it, you discover something new.
Congratulations! =)
