"History being made"

Rating: Null/10 (2 June 2001)

Now I know the comment above might seem a bit much but thats an exact quote i heard from the four buisness ladies sitting behind me when the movie came to its end. "This is history being made!"I am amazed I even heard the comment due to the 16 year old girls who were laughing histerically because they had been crying so hard. The old guy in front of me got up and proclaimed its the best thing he's seen all year and the asian couple to my right didn't wanna leave the theatre until they had seen all the credits. Even then they were still clutching hands and wiping away tears. What a demographic! Its amazing to see such a diverse audience respond so uniformly. I loved the movie myself. I thought it took the audience on an incredible ride from begining to end. Its a movie that breaks rules and invents new paths for future films. Hopefully the Moulin Rouge will start a new trend in the movie musical. I feel its about time!!! I believe this movie will do very well in the box office and at the Oscars. At least taking home nominations for Best Picture, Best leading actress/actor, Best Original Song, Best Direction, Cinematography, Make UP, Costumes-----the list goes on. Its an incredible film. If you haven't seen it you MUST. Even if you don't like it, at least you'll have an opinion when everyone is talking about it!
