A work of art bashed due to ignorance on the viewer's part

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2002)

After carefully reading the previous comments I have come to the
conclusion that the people who don't like this movie are one of two
types: 1.They didn't understand it or 2.they are so self-absorbed with
discrediting everything that they lack the ability to find the beauty in
something that truly exists therein. That's all I really have to say.
Just because you don't like something, don't knock it. Also, this movie
must be seen in its 2.35:1 theatrical aspect ratio IN A THEATRE to fully
do the film justice. Maybe that's another reason some people don't
understand Moulin Rouge! - because what is presented on their TV screen
is a) shrunken down b) does not fully show the great detail that went
into this film. Even if its the widescreen version, can you honestly
make out the hats that go up at the end of Rhythm of the Night??? Do
yourself a favor if you feel that you just can't stand this movie: sit
through it just once without any distractions - I guarentee you'll find
something you like. This is true with all movies, you just have to give
them the chance they deserve.
