Poor Pathetic Critics

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2005)

If you found Moulin Rouge unlikeable you are either: a) an idiot b) have no appreciation for a fantastic work of art c) an idiot or d) obviously missed the bigger picture of what the film was about.
All of you who are sitting there criticizing the film because it has 'songs mixed together' or find the 'plot laughable' truly have not looked beneath the surface of the film. The meaning and messages that Luhrman presents are so significant and important in the world today that it would be stupid to dismiss them.
The film is not just about Love and Lost (which I'm sure many of you found corny anyway) but it is also about how giving one's heart and soul to a single purpose will eventually mean overcoming everything. this is not just with Love but with all quests. Although there is loss along the way, eventually the truth really will set you free.
The fact that Lurhman teamed the fantastic plot with such a great set up including the music, the cast, the set - hell the whole concept is just fantastic - makes it even more Spectacular.
I truly think all of you so called 'critics' out there need to sit down and watch the movie again and not have such a closed mind about it. Be open to the underlying meanings and who knows - you might even learn something about what it takes to make a fantastic movie.
