truly bad!

It is my habit to refrain from commenting on movies that are not to my taste because it is not fair to the product to slang it just because it doesn't appeal to you; however, in the case of Moulin Rouge I'll make an exception.
Baz Luhrmann got it wrong-wrong from the very opening right to the end. His movie was a pistache of bits put together leaving me wondering why I'm bothering to watch this story that seems to be going in so many directions. The movie was very jerky-lunging from scene to scene with little thought as to establishing any connections
I love Australian movies and the vision they present of the world but Luhrmann's vision was too disjointed for my taste.
