YOUR SONG awakens me in the midst of my slumber :)

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2001)

I am not fond of watching this type of movie! But after reading some ranting and raving reviews in the newspaper, I was convinced to watch this movie after Evita :) And indeed in the first 20 minutes of the movie I got nauseated with the camera movements which caused me to sleep! But when the lines of HOW WONDERFUL LIFE IS WHEN YOU'RE IN THE WORLD were sang by Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman, I was awaken! Never thought that these two could sing! But of course I knew they just synched it anyway! That scene kept me awaken till the end of the movie! Besides, the danceable tune mixes of Lady Marmalade, Material Girl and Rhythm of the Night almost jumped me out of my seat to dance! Indeed Baz Luhrman has changed my perspective on stereotyping musical-drama! He has effectively captured the tunes to get across the message of the movie! At least that windmill will always be remembered as MOULIN ROUGE :)
