Moulin Rouge

Pros: Excellent cinematography and use of colour, wonderful music. Fluctuates intensely from funny, to sombre.
Cons: Cliched plot, banal ending

This movie follows the tale of two beautiful characters totally inexperienced and unaware of the powerful and all consuming force of LOVE. Christian, the 'penniless poet' is charmingly portrayed as the innocent Londoner who comes to Paris to live as a bo ...

Pros: beauty...richness
Cons: quick editing

After seeing Moulin Rouge in an empty movie theater on a rainy day, I was tempted to stay to see it again but was fearful that my eyes could not handle such perfect beauty twice in one day. From the opening credits to the last frame, director Baz...

Pros: amazing costumes, dance sequences, soundtrack, special effects, acting
Cons: somewhat predictable plot

After being turned on to Baz Lurhman's unique directing style by his 1997 film William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, I was excited to learn of his newest creation, a fairy tale musical called Moulin Rouge. Set in the late 1800s, the film...

Pros: In your face,colorful,and very excellent movie
Cons: Movie prices are too high for me to go every day

This movie catches your attention from the very beginning, and I'm talking about the 20th Century Fox bit kind of beginning. I didn't quite know what to expect from the previews and the pre-movie hype, but I've learned to stop listening to critics....

Pros: Great acting, musical sequences, dancing...too many to name
Cons: A bit confusing...you have to really pay attention

Pros: The music will have you feeling good!
Cons: You may cry...even guys.

EVERYTHING about this movie will have you fall in love with it. The music, the look, the acting...all absolutely wonderful and rich in detail. This is hands down one of my favorite movies. I went into it expecting to be bored out of my mind, and ...

Pros: Beautiful songs, great humor, wonderful costumes, outstanding acting performance
Cons: Shocks the heck out of you the first time

I first saw Moulin Rouge, at a friend's house. It was the three of us. Her, her boyfriend, and myself. Of course he fell in love with it right away. All the can can girls, and the sexy costumes. However, my friend and I were perplexed. Did we like it?...

Pros: A wonderful visual spectacle with lush orchestrations of pop music
Cons: Sometimes confusing and shallow, with camera work that can cause seasickness

2001 was the year of the modern movie musical, producing both Hedwig and the Angry Inch as well as Moulin Rouge. Moulin Rouge, a fictional bubble-gum epic taking place in turn of the century France at the height of the Bohemian Revolution is a movie...

Pros: Director Baz Luhrmann is indeed an original risk-taker.
Cons: The first 30 minutes or so are a little too over-the-top.

If ever there were a movie in which style triumphed magnificently over substance, it would be the dazzling, Oscar-nominated rock musical Moulin Rouge.

Director Bazz Luhrmann (William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet) may be working with a thin...

Pros: Acting by Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman, Direction by Baz Luhrmann and the songs
Cons: Slightly slow pace

One of the best musicals to come in recent years. Great songs and some good acting by Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor makes this movie a lovable and hummable one.

The Plot
Nicole Kidman is a dancer in a club known as Moulin Rouge...

Pros: Constant bubbling energy.
Cons: Constant bubbling energy.

Do you remember the kid on Saturday Night Live who claimed to be a Hyperactive-Hypochondriac?
"I'm a hyper-hypo!!" he would exclaim! This kid had so much energy that he couldn't sit still and was
tied to a jungle gym with a...

Pros: This movie is creatively different, face paced, colorful and dramatic.
Cons: If you can keep up with it, the plot is predictable at some points.

I choose to comment on this film because it is a risky and risqué, and fresh approach to telling a story on the big screen.

There is enough music in it to be called a musical. The singing is great, and the original music score (that is, the...

Pros: Great love story , great acting and hello , they SING !
Cons: Predictable but this can be forgiven

For all the true romantics out there this is the movie for you . It's a story about Love . It tells you so itself , within the first few minutes . The movie revolves fully around the concept of love above all else .

It is the story of...

Pros: Good Music, great cast, Fantastics visual effects
Cons: Corny love story, overplayed Elton John song

I have never wanted to walk out of a movie theater and ask for my money back, but there is always a first time for everything. I can't understand how this movie hit me the wrong way. It has a great cast, completely different music style, which I love...

Pros: Satine dies
Cons: everything else

Why oh Why????

Why did I go to this movie?

I went with my best friend to see this movie. Unluckily I let her choose the movie and she chose Moulin Rouge.

Moulin Rouge
