This movie is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!

Rating: Null/10 (8 January 2002)

What can I say that would do this film justice? The colors are stunning, the vibrant shades, the deep shadows. I've been a Baz Luhrman fan since R&J, but this movie really blew me away. The four words: Freedom, Beauty, Truth, and Love are expressed flawlessly in each song. The movie is an emotional rollercoaster, driving you to laughter and tears, as few movies can. All the vocalists do an incredible job, and the actors never falter in their characters. Every time I see it I get drawn in. The story, though simple has a timeless and effortless beauty. (Everyone falls in love, and the loss of it is the most painful thing there is, just as love itself is the most beautiful thing there is.) "Moulin Rouge!" makes my previous statement, only a thousand times more artfully. Kudos to all involved for putting something so incredible into the world.
