Best Movie Ever

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2001)

I'm not a fan of musicals. Or of Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman, and half of the cast I had never even heard of. But this movie was awesome! I mean it's probably the best movie I've seen in my lifetime. The movie starts out kinda campy and annoying, but the Green Fairy and the Abstinse stuff was just hilarious! And when they finally get down to it, the Moulin Rouge nightclub is probably the most beautiful spectacle of lights, music, color, and excitement I've ever seen. The camera was like a rollercoaster, twisting and turning almost to the point of giving me a headache. And the music, it was amazing. One of the coolest things about this movie is how you can mix Madonna and Nirana and come out with something that totally fits with the movie. But deep down this movie has a very emotional core. At the end of the movie, everyone, and I do mean everyone, in the theater was either bawling hysterically or trying to cover up the fact that tears were running down their face. Go watch the movie, it's one of the greatest you'll ever see, you might be surprised when you realize a week later your watching it for the third time wanting to see it again.
