Music, dancing, and above all - love

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2005)

"Moulin Rouge" is an amazing show of costumes, dancing, singing... little witty things you only see after two or three showings.
Nicole Kidman is absolutely fabulous - who knew she could sing? Even if you find her annoying or stuck-up, Moulin Rouge gives her a totally different quality. Even if I never watch anything else of her's again, I will appreciate her role as Satine.
Ewan McGregor is fabulous, and sings better than the majority of profession singers out there (his Scottish accent makes it better). McGregor, who is one of the world's best actors, in some admittedly unusual movies, sings, acts, and sobs like nothing you've seen before. No matter what you think of him, you owe it to yourself try this one out!
Baz Luhrmann does a truly fantastic job on incorporating modern music into a classic piece; this should have won best picture, cinematography, sound, and costumes!
The beginning makes you smile, the middle is a "feast for the eyes" (thank you, Ewan), and the ending will make you cry. Even if you don't think you'll like this one, "Moulin Rouge" is just too great to miss! I loved it, and almost everyone will!
