Wow

I must admit, my primary reasoning for seeing this movie was that of a shallow, teenage girl, I mean, Ewan McGregor is....well, HOT!! But once I had seen this masterpiece I knew it was a stroke of genius. The way Baz (yes, we are on a first name basis) mixed contemporary music with such a moving screen play was amazing. Its tone of humor as well as tragedy is what forces me to watch it over and over. And although I can practically speak right along with the movie, I never tire of it. The true talent of Ewan and Nicole (again, first names here) is realized when you find out that every note and every song is actually them singing!!! I have not been this excited about a musical since Phantom of the Opera, yes, it is that level. So, for those who haven't seen it, do, and for those who have seen it, see it again. And again. And again. And then, see it a few more times, just for good measure!
