A Musical You Will Actually Enjoy!

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2002)

You know, it's strange how most people either love it or hate it. No middle ground. Anyway . . .
When Moulin Rouge was being advertised, I shuddered at the thought of having to sit through a musical. I HATE musicals! So, I skipped it. About a year later, there was nothing new at Blockbuster, so I picked it up.
WOW! Moulin Rouge turned out to be such a wonderful movie (probably the only musical I'll ever like, though). Everything about it was fantastic and impressing.
It's interesting because instead of the actors telling you what they feel, they sing it (and you can actually like the songs)! Music and singing can express feelings that words cannot. The simplest phrase when sung can add a lot more meaning and emotion.
The songs were entertaining, the costumes and scenery were amazing, and the story line really keeps your interest. This film is very different and unique, which makes it so worth the time.
