A Brilliant, beautiful, full of life masterpiece!

Rating: Null/10 (4 June 2001)

I am a 24 year old, straight, married male and father to a beautiful daughter. One might think a movie like Moulin Rouge would not spark a tiny bit of interest in me. Well, that is all wrong. I was intrigued by the movie from the first preview I saw. It was flashy, colorful and full of song. It seemed to drip with originality--and it does!
This movie was a Spectacular Spectacular event that should not be missed. The characters we hilarious when needed and over come with tragedy. This movie played out like a brilliant Shakespherian play. The use of modern songs, they way they were was just a fantasic, if not daring attempt by the director. I will never look at the song "like a virgin" the same way again. With others like "Smells Like Teen Spirit, and Roxanne"....This movie was pumped full of life and did not stop until the tragic, poignant and beautifully distrubing end....
10 out of 10
