I think I'm in love...

...with MOULIN ROUGE! I'll start by making a bold statement: this is one of the most incredible movies I've ever seen! Everything about this movie is superb: acting, direction, style, music, etc.!
Baz Luhrmann has really outdone himself this time! With this movie, he shows what you REALLY can do a movie camera. He's not like most other directors: he's original and interesting.
Nicole Kidman gives one of the most dynamic performances of the year as 'Satine', a dazzling and mysterious courtesan/nightclub performer! Not only does she display a full range of emotions, but she also unleashes a glorious singing voice! Who knew she was a singer??!!
Ewan McGregor is just as wonderful as Christian, a struggling young writer who falls in love with Satine. McGregor is a great actor and can do just about anything! He also sings very well... and does a fine job with the Elton John classic, 'Your Song'.
John Leguizamo and Jim Broadbent also shine in supporting roles.
If you have seen this movie, and liked it, then please purchase the soundtrack! Kidman and McGregor's soaring rendition of 'Come What May' and the Christina Aguilera/Pink/Mya/Li'l Kim pop hit 'Lady Marmalade' are entertaining highlights!
If you have NOT seen this movie (for some strange reason...), I strongly suggest that you do. But when you see it for the first time, it is recommended that you view it without any distractions whatsoever. I guarantee that you'll love it!
