The most amazing movie of the year!

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2001)

I see very few movies in the movie theater. Most of them are not worth the $10 it costs, when I can rent it in a few months for $1.99. This movie I have seen twice, and I'm already looking for another day next week to go see it again! It gave me chills. I listen to the soundtrack over and over again. I call it "Moulin Rouge Radio - all Moulin Rouge, all the time." If this doesn't get nominated for at least several Academy Awards, it will be a travesty. Note: This movie is not for everybody. You have to like: a)Musicals, b)Ewan McGregor c)filmmaking, or any combination of the above. I don't think liking Nicole Kidman is enough, because that usually means guys, and they don't generally like musicals, but if you are on the verge of going...go! There are some very funny sections ("Like a Virgin" is hilarious!) I do think a lot of people are mislead by the commercials and ads they are seeing, because I have heard of a lot of people walking out after the first 15 minutes. Again, it's not for everybody. But it is for me and that's all I can say.
