Wonderful, thought provoking, risk taking movie!

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2009)

*CONTAIINS SPOILERS!!!!* I can honestly say that this is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Moulin Rouge took many risks from their medley of classic songs from the 20th century to their beautiful, unusual story of true love. You know how some people say that they laughed, they cried at the end of a great movie? I did all of these and more. I was breathless during most of the musical numbers. The first time that Christian and Satine were in Elephant Room, I laughed so hard I'm pretty sure i started to cry. Once Satine died and Christian began to cry, tears began to build up and I couldn't help but crying right along with them. This movie was beautiful and it is one that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
