At last, a movie with a moral!

Rating: 9/10 (28 May 2002)

A fantastic musical! I loved every second of the "SPECTACULAR, SPECTACULAR!" I can't understand how "A Beautiful Mind" won the Best Picture Oscar over this magnificent production.
The moral that is given in "Moulin Rouge" is something that I firmly believe in. "THE GREATEST THING IN LIFE, IS TO LOVE SOMEONE AND TO BE LOVED IN RETURN!!!"
Throughout the centuries philosophers have tried to describe what life is about with thousands upon thousands of words used in each of their complex discourses. I wonder what the ancients would have replied to the moral stated here? The only philosopher that I can think of that comes close to giving us something so true and yet so simple is Jesus Christ.
Joseph Campbell abridged these words of wisdom even further when he said to Bill Moyers during an interview shortly before his death, "FOLLOW YOUR BLISS!"
BRAVO!
