Summary: Great Flick!!!!!
Review: Moulin Rouge is my new favorite film. It's filled with dancing, music, and color. The actors did an awesome job aswell. It was a great suprise to find that Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman could sing. I was very impressed. I would recommend this movie to anyone, especially those involved in music, theatre, and drama. I also recommend the soundtrack.

Summary: Strangely wonderful
Review: I was looking forward to this movie long before it came into theaters because of the previews. Then, I went to see it. I hated it, from start to finish. There was not one thing I liked about it other than the songs done by Ewan Mcgregor. Who knew that he had a great voice!?! Everything was too loud and flashy. All the songs had been done before; none were original, that I could tell of anyway. It seemed extremely cheesy and overdone and stupid. I was very upset, because I had bought the sound-track right before I went to the movie. I started listening to it, and the more I listened, the more I wanted to see it again. So, I went back. From the beginning, I began to notice things I had not before. It was amazing. I became one of the best movies I have ever seen. Everything that I hated the first time, I loved. The overdone songs were pieced together brilliantly; the loudness, brightness, and over dramaticness fit together perfectly into a beautiful array of art and passion. Without a doubt, it is the most uncomon movie I have ever seen. Not everyone will like it, but give it a chance. Probably a couple chances before you judge it or cross it off. It is truly beautiful. Probably the most gorgeous (as far as props and setting, not nature, etc.) movie I have ever seen. I can not wait to own it on DVD!!!

Summary: Moulin Rouge Rules
Review: I'm a huge fan of musicals, so I was very anxious to se M.R. And
I was not disappointed, eventhough it's very different from the
"traditional" musicals. Set in Paris in 1899 with music from today, this could easily backfire. But it really works. Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor are the main reason this works, I think.
Who knew they could sing so well?
The filming and use of color is also spectacular. And John Leguizamo does a great Toulouse Latrec. The only thing I didn't like was the use of Whitney Houston's "I will always love you" and Madonna's "Like a virgin". Other than that, a great movie that I will definitely see again...

Summary: Movie of the Year
Review: If you have not seen Moulin Rouge, you are missing out on the movie of the year! I must admit, when my husband suggested we see Moulin Rouge, I adamantly protested. I normally like suspense, thriller or horror movies. I did not want to see a musical/romance! Well, I went, dragging my feet, and it was one of the best choices I've ever made! The movie was/is fantastic! It is not your average musical. It is fast-paced, stunning, beautiful and sad, all at once. There is so much for the eye to take in. I have seen it 4 times, and I'm sure there are still things that I missed. You may call me obsessed, but it is truly the best movie I have ever seen. Baz Luhrmann is a genius! He could not have chosen better actors for his masterpiece. Do not see the movie with any expectations, except to be awestruck, because it will not be what you expected! As I said, I've seen it 4 times, and at the end of each time I sat stunned, unable to move, filled with joy, sadness, awe and admiration, all at once. I definitely give it 5+ stars!

Summary: Spectacular Experience
Review: I didn't know what to expect when I went to see this movie. Afterwards a friend of mine called me and asked how it was. I replied: "Well, it was great, awesome, spectacular", "that good ?" he replied. "No" I answered, "it was better, it's a masterpiece."
Yes, I didn't know anything about the film and was a little bit confused in the beginning by the cutting, zooming and movements that made me a bit dizzy. Not a very good start I thought, but then it really started.
This simple story about the poor man, rich man and the beautiful girl, turned into a visual feast for eye and ear.
I am a middle age man and tough as I am, then I could not stop tears running on several occations during the film while enjoying the music and the performance of Ewan and Nicole. Their duet made of 1-2 lines from popular lovesongs was great, but the Roxanne scene blew my mind. One of the best I've ever seen.
There are weak points in this movie, but the overall effect is so overwhelming that it left me and others sitting awhile after the film ended to savour the feeling we got during the film. There are many years since I have got this great feeling while watching a movie. The goosebumps the amazement and the whole emotion was just terrific.
This movie is now on my top 10 and will most likely be there for a very long time.

Summary: Baz Luhrmann's Traviata
Review: Baz Luhrmann has taken on Hugo's La Dame Aux Camelias and managed to transform it into a fin de siecle Traviata substituting Verdi's score with a collage of sweet and romantic late 20th century songs. The whole movie has been one of the most OTT camp and indeed operatic overall treatments that has ever been seen on film. Certainly this movie is more visually stunning than anything I have ever seen before. The sheer lyrical beauty of the sets, costumes, coreography and especially of Nicole Kidman who is dazzling as Satine are breathtaking. I have seen this movie three times already and it seems to get better each time you see it. It has been a long time that any movie so makes you walk out of the theatre wishing you were young and in love. This is a film that is perfect for those moments when you are feeling a bit blue and sorry for yourself. I can imagine that there are those who found this film difficult, however I can also imagine that they are those who have never know what it feels like to be in love. This is not a film that one should review in a cerebral and objective way but one which to enjoy as a feast to the senses. Beauty truth freedom and love ..... its is all of those things and more
