For the people who hated it...... (Spoilers!!!!!!!)

I have a suggestion for you. Watch it again. The first time I watched it, it was all I could do to sit through it until the end. I too was disgraced at the anachronisms, especially musical. Nothing was accurate to 1899 Paris. Then when it ended, I thought to myself, "I kind of understand what this is all about." So I rewound it and watched it again. Since then I have seen it three more times. It is my all-time favourite movie. Watch it again and don't take it too seriously. Realize that everything, accurate to 1899 Paris or not, is there to help tell the story of their love. Allow yourself to laugh at the silly "Like a Virgin" dancers and be shocked when Christian yells, "Because she doesn't love you!" Forget that it's predictable and not historically correct. Get lost in the story, music, and visual effects, and I promise, you will cry when Satine dies.
