Awful insanity.

Rating: 1/10 (15 April 2002)

How can a movie that has a cliche plot, undeveloped characters, cheesy settings, overdone costumes, and no shots that last longer than 3 seconds get voted to be such a great movie? I have no idea. I barely sat through the movie and finished watching it only due to a crazy new year's resolution. It actually hurts to watch it. What most describe as "a beautiful mix of color and music" is really, well, not. The closest thing I can compare it to is mixing beautiful colors of paint until they turn into ugly greyish-brown color that may remind some of waste and excretions. The only reason I'm writing about Moulin Rouge! is because I hated it so much and actually, I'm disgusted with myself to even write anything more. Please don't see this movie - it has no value as a piece of art whatsoever.
