Exhilarating!

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2015)

I had been very curious about this movie for years before I saw it, and I honestly didn't think I would like it very much, but I was so wrong. It was a little weird at first, but throughout the rest of the movie I was on the edge of my seat and I loved every moment of it! The music is exciting and the story is very moving. I fell in love with Ewan McGregor's character and I got to understand and embrace the tragic story of Nicole Kidman's character throughout the movie. Baz Luhrmann successfully and skillfully combined comedy, drama and romance all into one great musical. The only reason I didn't give this movie more than eight out of ten stars is because it obviously displays very many sexual themes, so I do not recommend this movie to younger people. However, I strongly recommend it to anyone who thinks they may want to watch it. Enjoy!
