Two words: Spectacular Spectacular!

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2004)

My girlfriend forced me to watch this movie. I admit the first time around i laughed at her for being such a girl and crying like a sissy come the end. the second time around i actually paid attention instead. WOW! the songs, the story, the special effects...EVERYTHING! it is possibly the most spectacular film i have ever seen. the opening establishing shot with paris from above that slowly zooms in and drives through the city makes me want to scream. the editing on the dance floor is madness. during the song come what may when theyre on the balcony and it zooms out is absolutely gorgeous! ewans voice in the tango de roxanne echoes in my head still. the ending had me want to jump out of my skin. finally, the gun toasting the tower is genius.
all in all, this movie is a must see and i mean that...until my dying day...
