Magical

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2002)

Moulin Rouge is magical and incredible.The performances are perfect.The cast was perfect.And the music!Oh the music!
First of all Baz Luhrman is a very creative director he made the most astonishing and original movies of all times.Strictly Ballroom is quite excellent and with a very funny cast.The most dull and unoriginal film of his career is Romeo + Juliet.But Moulin Rouge is just a masterpiece that will definately enter in my 10 most important movies' list.And in third place only behind the amazing Matrix and the great Gattaca.
This is a love it or hate it movie.Cause it's only for people who enjoy music and recognize those crazy medleys which was very well organized by the musician Craig Armstrong,who unfortunately wasn't even nominated for the 2001 Academy Award.You will remember in the songs musics like `All you need is love',or the funniest scene on the movie when they sing `Like a Virgin',or the most memorable scene the Tango of `Roxanne'.And plus Nicole Kidman and Mcgregor sing like professional singers,they're excellent!
Nicole playing Satine is incredible!It's her best performance ever!Stays between her `The Others' performance.She's so beautiful and charming!Satine is so natural and never lose her shape.It's the portrail of a great woman with courage and strong felings.Mcgregor playing Christian is trully deep.He keeps an intense love for Satine who can't fall in love.Their destiny is realistic and sad.Having a forbidden love is not easy ,specially in those years on Paris.
The beginning of the movie is extremely crazy.But you'll laugh all the way when the artists start singing `Smell like teens spirit' or `Lady Marmalade'.Everything fits.It was planned and special for all who loves music.
Well I won't take more time of you.But even if you don't like it remember that the movie world is separated by before and after Moulin Rouge.After this motiom picture nothings gonna be the same.9 out of 10.
