Summary: excess becomes ecstacy
Review: Yes, it's ridiculous, contrived, excessive, absurd, outrageous, and quite possibly a masterpiece. I cannot think of any film maker, other than Luhrmann, who could have pulled this one off, let alone have done it so masterfully. The bonus featurette disc alone would be worth the price. Forget your pre-conceived notions, buckle your seat belts, you haven't been here before, no matter how familiar the landscape, tunes and thematics may seem.

Summary: Absolutely Bizarre
Review: The was the Most bizarre movie that I have ever seen in my life. But I loved it too death. The singing from Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman was so wonderful it made me cry. This movie is wonderfully bizare and gives you a taste of everything. On the other hand, I'm a theater freak so seeing singing in a movie a really great thing for me!

Summary: An amazing movie full of love and music
Review: When I saw the ads for Moulin Rouge, I thought, "Oh, that is just another over done movie-musical." After it came out in theaters, a friend convinced me to see it. From the opening scene, I was on the edge of my seat. The plot kept me on my toes and entrapped in the boheimian world love, lust and sex. Nicole Kidman and Ewen McGregor did outstand jobs in both acting and singing. Although the end was not very suprising (I won't give it away for those who have not seen the movie.) because of the opening scene, I cryed. This is a feat in and of itself, becuase I never, ever cry durning movies. I will say that anyone who has ever thought about seeing this movie should. And those that haven't thought about seeing it, well maybe they should.

Summary: WOW!
Review: Have had this DVD for a wee while now - it was released in New Zealand on the 5th of December and all I can say is WOW! This is why we have DVD players - even if you didn't enjoy this movie you could not help but appreciate the ingenious extras that this double disc set has to offer. I personally ADORE this movie, however after talking to a multitude of people it seems to be a movie you either Love or Hate with no ground in between - and isn't that what great movies are about to produce passion and not a wimpy - "can't decide if I like it" mentality? Anyway on to the stars, Ewan and Nicole, again WOW! Who knew these two had voices like that, and as for John L ! Well what can you say except exceptional.... The imagery in this film is so wonderfully stylistic it makes you want to escape to Paris and the Moulin Rouge - go out and buy this movie and make yourself a very happy person...

Summary: formulaic but beautiful.
Review: mixed in with the eyecandy is the same old plotline. you've heard it before, you've seen it done a million ways. moulin rouge does it differently. the images and the sheer description of this movie cannot be put into words but that it is simply a miasma, a beautiful and desperate thing. the acting is solid, and well-cast. nicole kidman has really come up in the world with her talent, in both this and 'the others', another fabulous movie that came out the same year. one scene in particular is 'el tango de roxanne' - the music, also, simply put, is some of the most incredible stuff i've heard in quite awhile. if you're the type who loves a beautiful image, and savours it, you'll cry at this movie. if you go for plot, you might be somewhat disenchanted.

Summary: How Wonderfull Life is...
Review: This Movie is amongst my list of all time favorites. Its brings forth a new age of musicals, the film features stiring renditions of songs by Elton John, The Police, The Beatles, Patti Labelle and even a slection from The Sound of Music. The film spin and spirals into a dazzling story of truth, beauty, freedom, jealousy, and that which our hero (played and sung by Ewan McGregor) belives in above all things Love. Nicole kidman and Ewan Mcgegor show off there (suprisingly) real incredible singing voices. Other highlights of the film are John Legiuzamo as the drunken bohemian Toluse Lautrec... at the historically correct height. Jim Broadbent as the mildly insane yet heartfelt Harold Zidler (owner of the Moulin Rouge) wows and dazzles. The film combines incredible timeless songs, oscar worthy performances, beautiful cinematography, and a story that will last forever.
I close with our hero's (and Nat King Coles) immortal wordsThe greatest thing youll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return. Buy the movie and share it with the world.
