Wow.

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2004)

My girlfriend introduced me to this film. The use of the musical numbers and the pure joy of just watching it reflects well. When watching this movie I go back to High School when we were producing My Fair Lady. We had standing ovations on every night. I never got tired of watching that show, I knew the lines as well as the actors, and it was a treat to watch.
Moulin Rouge takes it's rightful place in my memories right beside it. I've seen Ewan McGregor's work obviously in Star Wars, and just seeing him belt out these awesome, awesome songs gives me get goosebumps. It's amazing what people can do when you least expect it. I had no premonitions when I sat down to watch this movie, and I was pleasantly surprised. My advice is the same, don't sit down and expect something that won't happen. Sit down and accept what Baz is trying to show you. I didn't even know he was the director until I came here to look the film up afterwards. I rarely give movies I watch a full star rating, but this one definitely gets it from me.
