Moulin Rouge??????

I personally wasnt too keen on this film, if ewan mcgregor wanted to be in a musical then he should have gone somewhere else. i think alsmost became a case of lets see how many songs we can cram in to give to give nicole kidman! it was also a bit "in your face" and was a recycled story line of cabaret. anyway, what are your views? jennyflower xxxx

 

It was okay; there was so much to look at, which isn't always a good thing. And the songs seemed really out of place, being modern.
Oh and you knew the ending before the story really started. That sucked.

(in my own humble opinion) it was a romanticised cliche. it was supposed to be your standard love story, and it was supposed to be UBER sensationalized. i really liked it.

i really liked the exaggerated characters and sets and every other exaggerated aspect of the film.

that is all. :0)

 

i cried for 6 hours after it finished...i already knew the ending because my friends told me...i thought it was ok...but it just depressed the shit out of me...satine reminded me of my ex girlfriend...which didn't make it any better...made it worse in fact...i'm still not completely over it...

 

Me too. I personally loved it. I just watched it for the 3rd time since yesterday. Sad, I know.

 

I didn't find it to be the greatest movie every or anything. But I enjoyed watching it, and I have to admit that it did make me cry.

 

It's an ok film, i also likes the way they exagerated everything!!!
I cried like hell.
I saw the end and started crying i went into bed i was still crying!!!lol i was restless after it!oh my!

I cried too, I think...
It's a very original movie, or at least, original direction. Wasn't it the same guy who directed Romeo + Juliet?

 

yeah, i believe it was. baz luhrman? i can see similarities. specially the fact that he is modernizing a potentially dated film. im gonna re-watch it and see if it changes my opinion of it. jennyflower xxx

 

Yes, that's it, Baz Luhrman. I forgot his last name.

 

i don't like this movie

 

Thumbs up from Chris

 

i thought the film was gr8! it seemed to incorporate all the cliches of the time period it was set in! i haven't seen cabaret so i don't know if it is just a copy. but it's one of those films that i see once cry at the end & when i watch it again i cry at the beginning as well! the only thing that i was told before i watched it was to keep an open mind! i think possibly the best bit is the beginning when you go through the streets and you notice the differences that - i think it's a year - a year can make!

 

I didn't care for it. After the movie ended, I looked at my husband and asked..."What the HELL was that???"

 

OMG I think this movie was such a great Movie, it's pretty much the only Music orientated movie I like

 

I LOVE this movie... and I love the voice of Ewan McGregor! Really, this film made me cry and I bought the DVD after watching and listened to the songs everyday...so great!

 

Nicole Kidman looks amazing with red hair, so thumbs up from me.

 

i liked the line "the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and to be loved in return"... i thought the movie as a whole was better than i expected. its supposed to be over-exaggerated people.

 

I didn't expect to like it, but it was quite original in some ways and boring as anything in others. Visually stunning, the direction and sets / effects were wonderful. The story, theme and dialogue were contrived cliched nonsense, of course! The most interesting aspect was the music. I didn't know any of it prior to watching it and expected it to have an original score, and the fact it was just rehashed pop hits was quite a surprise to me. In one way that makes it stupidly easy to like - you know all the songs already, and they were quite well put together with some nice original touches. In the end it was just one long overture of sickeningly familiar tunes, though. Doesn't that signal the death of the screen musical? You can't imagine a big budget musical being made with original songs like Rodgers and Hammerstein nowadays. So it's not actually a musical in that vein at all, it's something quite different. A rather postmodern film. I'm glad I saw it but I wouldn't hurry back!

 

It is really a cool movie, I like the versions of Like a Virgin and the Queen song, don't really remember the name of it.
