The Best Musical Ever!

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 2004)

Moulin Rouge is the best musical movie for me so far. Born in 1981, I have not seen many musical movies though. Anyway, I'm glad I could see this one.
The pace of the story is perfect. The story runs so smoothly that I have no idea what time was it until the movie ended and I took a look at my watch.
Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor's great voices really brightened up the movie. The songs were so great that I didn't realize it took place back in 1900s.
Costumes were so great. I have no doubt it won Oscar for best costume.
All sorts of emotions could be expressed via wonderful songs. Compare to another musical movie that did better in Oscar (not for me), Chicago is lack of love songs while Moulin Rouge has it all.
