This film is exceptional

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2001)

Musicals is one of my favorite film genres. Before Moulin Rouge, The Sound of Music is the only musical movie (in English) in my classic list.
The development of love story in Moulin Rouge is not twisted, actually it is quite simple. But it does not mean it is boring. The above-all and heart-breaking love between Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor keeps captivating you completely from beginning to end. The excellent performance of leading actors bring us great enjoyment both visually and emotionally and bring the film an exceptional achievement.
The songs are fantastic. When they are sung, it seems they are drifting from the remote heaven, or flowing out from deep heart, so beautiful. The dancing is also entertaining. The costume is visually rich and pleasant.
I am glad I did not miss it in the theater. It is most enjoyed on a big screen, a lot of effect will be either substantially weaken or lost when watching it on video or DVD.
I am wondering how long I have to wait for another Moulin Rouge or The Sound of Music to be filmed?
