Summary: Refreshing
Review: This comedy/tragedy/musical takes you on an adventure into the underground of true Bohemian spirit - truth, beauty, and "above all" . . .love. The industry just doesn't make many muscial films these days and to have one with such emotion and clever entertainment was a joy to watch. Christian (McGregor) and Satine (Kidman) have great chemistry on screen. They make one's heart melt with the passion they have for one another. The fact that both McGregor & Kidman sang their own songs in the movie was impressive. They make it fun to watch. I would recommend it to anyone who is a romantic with a light-hearted spirit.

Summary: LOVE IT or leave it
Review: I wasn't such a fan a Baz Luhrmann's other big work, Romeo + Juliet, however I loved to look at it. This film is also wonderful to look at. I saw it 3 times in the theater, not just because I loved the movie, but there was so much to look at that I didn't want to miss any of it. It is the typical story of boy-meets-prostitue, boy-falls-in-love-with-prostitue, prostitue-tries-to-leave-boy, boy-and-prostitute-profess-love-for-eachother, and the quintessential tear-filled ending. The plot is not the best part of this movie. Yes, it's a sweet story, but the MUSIC! They use lyrics of other (modern) songs with such artisty and humor. The performances of Ewan McGregor, Nicole Kidman, John Leguizamo, not to mention Jim Broadbent and Richard Roxburgh are so phenomenal! Who knew that Ewan could sing so honestly, so believably, and beautifully?!? Nicole was no squaker herself... she was also a wonderful surprise! Yes, this movie is probably meant for the "MTV Generation", but if you give the artistry a chance, you may find the passion for it that many of us find. This is a modern-day musical, using modern-day techniques, but with old themes and classic Musical segues and motifs.

Summary: Amazing
Review: Well to tell u the truth, i didn't want to see this movie when i went with my girlfriend, but she really wanted to see it. In the end, it ended up being one of the best movies that i have ever seen. it was so well done. the music was great, the camera work was great, and the story was well done (even though it was a little typical). i would recommend this to anyone, but make sure the girls are ready to cry. anyway, it was one of the best movies i have ever seen.

Summary: Truly unique, modern, unique movie! A writer's dream!
Review: This movie is a combination of a unique musical a writer's...dream. The visuals are gorgeous and the pacing is fast and frenetic in a way that you never get bored -- yet it never goes to fast to be moving. Not only do you have the hilarious mixture of modern pop songs (from Madonna, Nirvana, Queen, Police, and even The Sound of Music) mixed into the musical format, but a truly moving story. What's miraculous about it is how it weaves so many things from literatue and art also -- modelled after the style of Bollywood (popular Indian films) and mixed with such allusions to Orpheus in the Underworld myth (the Greek myth where a young lyricist goes into the Underworld to get his lady-love only to lose her by turning around), this movie never fails to move, entertain and make you think. One of my all-time favorite movies!

Summary: Life was good before I saw this movie, now it is GRAND!!!!!!
Review: This movie is the most spectacular film I have ever seen. I love so many movies so to say this it is a really amazing sentence. I have never seen a movie with such attention to detail! You have a million dollars in your pocket when you have this movie because think of all of the money and hard work that went into each beautiful set and costume, not to mention the actors practising the amazing dancing theatrical performance after performance in this movie!! The music is amazing and the actors superb!! If you haven't seen this movie, you have not lived! Don't die without seeing this movie!! It is a must see for anyone who loves the beauty of a love story with the tragedy and music of real life. It has comedy and drama together in one feature. I saw it 7 times at the theatre and if I had had the time away from work I would have seen it 107 at the very least!!!!!! This movie is Nicole Kidman's and Ewan's McGregors BIG BREAK! It makes you feel like you are dancing to the moon on the stars of the universe! It makes you feel like everything in life has a real purpose. It makes you realize why we are here on this earth...because as the story goes...the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return!!!
How wonderful life is with MOULIN ROUGE in the world!! Thanks to everyone for giving me something better than all of the golden jewels of this earth could give me...a change in movie history forever. I didn't know what I was fixing to see when I went into the theatre for the first time and saw this movie! WOW! Let me say that one million times with one million exclamation marks! Thanks to all of the producers, directors, writers, hair stylist, make-up artist, crew members, gaffers, costume designers, prop people, actors and every single person who had any part of any of this movie! I owe you nothing short of a million miracles and a half! May God bless you all for giving the world this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is IT! Never again will I go and see such a movie as this! I just can't wait to get it at home and watch it each and every day until the day I leave this earth! When I die the last thing I will think of is this movie! I am telling you, you have to see it if you haven't! OK! Have I made my point? I certainly hope so! I want to scream it out to the world!!!! The Red Windmill is the most beautiful spot on Earth and nothing could get better than the Moulin Rouge! "It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside....it's not one of those who can easily hide...Don't have much money, but boy if I did, I would buy a million copies of this movie and really live!!"

Summary: To the Oscar People: hint hint
Review: I loved this movie sooooooo much. It was so sweet and touching. I'm going to be so mad if it doesn't win any Oscars. If Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings beat it for like costumes and sets, I'm going to explode. Usually movies that have a lot of hype win, that is totally not fair. The movie was fantastic. It was so stunning visually, at some points in the movie, I felt I was in a dream world. The color is so vibrant, this movie makes you feel so alive. The music was so good too. Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor sang very well. It wasn't like they sang horribly or lipsynced like most people. I respect them for it. The acting was carried out well also. I thought Ewan McGregor made the perfect annoying guy who only cared about truth, beauty, freedom, and love(especially love, he like had a freak obsession with it). Even though his character was extremely annoying, I couldn't help, but feel sorry for him. Nicole Kidman also did a good job as Satine. I loved Satine. She was so innocent yet she wasn't. Something in her eyes makes her look really innocent like she is seeing for the first time and yet she knows what the world is like. I can't explain. See the movie and find out.

Summary: Spectacular Spectacular
