Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2001)

Moulin Rouge. When I had first heard that Nicole Kidman was going to be in this flick, I thought ok...what?She going to sing too?!Ridiculous.Well shut my mouth and call me Doofus McDoorknob!She was actually quite good.Ewan, I knew had the vocal skills(Check out Velvet Goldmine),so I didn't worry at all. This film is about the thing we all want so much in our lives:LOVE! It is a wonderful film which incorporates great songs of the 20th century to tell the most familiar tale, that most of us have seen throughout celluloid history but it does so with such vigor,verve, and colorful passion. My hats of to the director. The whole movie's visuals give you,well at leasts me,of how it is to be in love with THE one.You know,the special person that everytime you see he/she and there are fireworks and electricity!It's how we want and hope so much that how real and true love is. Everyone involved in the making of this lovely gem, should be praised. Now,there are no in betweens with this picture. Either you will love it or hate it. I loved it. See it and experience the fantastic......
