That's Entertainment!

Rating: Null/10 (2 February 2002)

Moulin Rouge. I wanted it to go on for another two hours. I Wanted to have been to the Moulin Rouge. That's Entertainment!
This movie has heart. A story of Love, Freedom, Beauty, Truth, yes without being corny. Those themes, the most powerful in humanistic tradition, come alive in Moulin Rouge. Thank you!
It has music, not just music in the usual sense but music from our era put into the period of the movie, circa 1890 and it was made to work wonderfully. Imagine Nirvana, in Gay Paree! The new music fit in the old setting because their themes are the same: dancing, sex, exuberance, gettin' it on!
Moulin Rouge has the mose beautiful, luscious woman in Nicole Kidman; my God what a photogenic set of eyes: hypnotic, teasing, deep, flirtatious. She was deep in Eyes Wide Shut too. This girl has it down to her heels: passion and knowledge. She made a believer out of me, I'll tell you.
This movie has color, presented by a most talented cinematographer and lighting director; it's perfect. It jumps off the screen at you. It caresses you, pulls you through the film like an opiate, increasing your pleasure with each frame. More!
I was so happy I saw Moulin Rouge! I love Moulin Rouge!
