Modern meets Classical

Rating: 9/10 (1 August 2005)

I particularly enjoyed this movie because of it's very good fusion of modern songs. Nicole Kidman is a surprisingly good singer, and thats the same to say about Ewan McGregor. They seem like an weird team when you first hear they'll be starring together, but they have awesome screen chemistry. The beginning makes it look like a weird Gothic-esquire depressing story, but it turns out to be a beautiful bittersweet love story. Kidman never ceases to amaze with her vocal range, and it's just plain amazing McGregor can even sing. Ewan McGregor is Obie Wan Kenobe, and you certainly wouldn't expect a Star Wars Jedi to be able to sing AND act. Bravo. By the way: The writers should all really think hard about why they made Satine die. You guys suck for making me cry in front of my boyfriend.
