one of the most magical movies that I've ever seen...

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2001)

The Moulin Rouge is one of the best movies that I have ever seen. It has everything that one could possibly want in a movie--action, romance, comedic interludes, and a wonderful soundtrack. One of the best things about this film how is it filmed. At times this can be over-powering but in a good way. Some scenes are choppy to add depth and to give the film something different from the main-stream to the film. Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman each to a very good job with the songs in this film and I was surprised with how excellent they actually sounded. When Ewan first sings, "Your Song," it's unexpected how wonderful his voice is. This film is beautiful and everyone should give it a chance. Don't let the negative comments that I've heard be the deciding factor as to whether you should see this movie or not. Give it a chance and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
