Sheer musical excitement.

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2006)

There has to be a reason why this movie musical was shown twice on our local TV. I even watched it twice, though the second time never really watched from start to end. Given Nicole Kidman is one of my favourite celebrities, it's one of those reasons I watched it.
Christian (Ewan McGregor) is a writer desperately searching ideas for his works till he was being thrust into writing a play, by accident. He went into Moulin Rouge and met some very interesting and colourful characters and people.
Satine (Nicole Kidman) is the most famous courtesan at Moulin Rouge and many are stunned by how she looked. Though she is being engaged, she began a forbidden love story with Christian.
The song and dance are a big draw to this movie musical and both Ewan and Nicole can actually sing well. 'Come What May' is just so touching which almost made me cry. I know.
Watch it not because Nicole Kidman is in this movie musical (which I soon learned). Watch it because it is just so beautiful.
