Summary: Not for the closed-minded
Review: There were some critics who said that this movie had little or no emotion tied in with the innovative special effects. I couldn't agree less. The entire production is about nothing but emotion, and I must confess that in the five-day period I rented it from the video store it hardly left the VCR at all. I wish there were more than five stars to use.
However, I will definitely say that it is a love-it-or-hate-it situation. If one word was necessary to describe the entire product I would use "bizarre," but if you're ready for a creative and new look at an otherwise commonplace plot, Moulin Rouge should be seen by everyone.

Summary: Visually stunning, and entertaining
Review: Christian (Ewan McGregor) is a writer in Paris and fate gives him the opportunity to write his first major masterpiece, his fate being an Argentinean man crashing through his ceiling followed by a dwarf (John Leguizamo). It seems the two men were rehearsing for a play they are putting together with hopes to bring to the sexy Satine (Nicole Kidman) a dancer at Moulin Rouge. As the two men rehearse, the dwarf explains his buddy suffers from narcolepsy and they need a new lead and Christian is the man to fill his shoes, the only glitch in the play is they can't seem to finish one song, and when Christian adds the lyrics they need they put into action a plan to invade Moulin Rouge and present the play to Satine.

With hopes of being a real actress, Satine is quickly drawn to the play, the only problem is The Duke, a man set out to buy the Moulin Rouge and make Satine his property.

Can Christian and Satine put on the show of their dreams? Can Christian and Satine enjoy the love that's in their hearts? And, can they stop the evil Duke? Through song and dance we will find the answer to all these questions.

'Moulin Rouge' is unlike anything you have ever seen. Visually stunning, and artistically a masterpiece the film breaks new ground to combine love, music, dance, and the sexy setting of a high-end bordello in 1899 Paris.

Ewan McGregor turns in another fine performance as the tortured writer held captive by his love for Satine, and Nicole Kidman gives one of her best performances as the singer/dancer/"entertainer".

Incorporating vivid sets, sharp editing, and modern songs 'Moulin Rouge' manages to create a Paris of wonder and excitement, one that viewers will be entranced by.

Summary: Moulin Rouge: it was truly spectacular, spectacular!
Review: I was sort of wary to see Moulin Rouge for the first time. It didn't seem like a movie I would like that much, but when it started, I was sure glad I was sitting in that theatre. It starts out as a great roller coaster ride through Paris in the early 1900's, and has some of the best music I've ever heard in a movie. Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor were absolutley amazing in this movie, and after seeing Moulin Rouge nine times, I'm still waiting to get sick of it (I doubt that will happen soon, though).You wont regret seeing Moulin Rouge, and I'm positive you wont forget it.

Summary: Moulin Rouge...What a Diassappointment
Review: Three words for this movie...I HATED IT!!! I bought this movie without seeing it cause my friend said I would LOVE it...so I took his advise. BIG MISTAKE....I couldn't even sit through the first 30 mins. I would have walked out of the theater had I seen it while it was there. Now my biggest problem is how to get rid of this aweful DVD and replace it with something I'll enjoy

Summary: Hindi Sad Diamonds
Review: Moulin Rouge is an awesome movie! Well I like all types of movies so if you can get into almost anything i'm sure you'll like this. It's kind of like Romeo and Juliet but with music! The beginning of the movie is kinda tense (like it's really fast and u can't really get the point) but then once they start dancing and Christian meets Satine everything starts to unfold. The music is great, especially the song Hindi Sad Diamonds (Chamma Chamma)! It's a great movie and it's worth buying!

Summary: A Musical Romp in the Mind of a Genius!!!
Review: I could not wait for this video to be released! I finally have the chance to write my review of this brilliant specticle.

I saw the movie 5 times in the movie theatre (a record for me!) and I wish I could watch it every day of my life! It's a beautiful film.

I remember when the show opened and most of the people in America were VERY stand-offish and wary of this display of fun and its effect on the minds of our young adults. But the film show the power of the "Children of the Revolution" and the Bohemian Movement with Freedom, Beauty, Truth and Love as the mind candy for the era.

Nicole Kidman plays Satine and I love every minute of it. I have always love Nic, but I have rarely gone to a film just because she was in it. I am now a very dedicated fan! She is brilliant in this movie. She displays every aspect and every genre that a film actor should hold important. She would be jipped without living the OSCARS with an award in hand. (Did anyone see her brilliant thriller, THE OTHERS??? Another amazing performance...) She is beautiful and wear each regal costume with as much style as Audrey Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich. Nicole is amazing!

Ewan McGregor is not only amazing in this film, but he brings such a scattered past to this portrayal. From Transpotting to Star Wars and now to the Moulin Rouge. He has played so many colorful characters and now he brings his real acting and vocal talent to the pedistal and makes each moment unforgettable. He and Nic are the film, though the sets and costumes are brilliant!!

Baz has assembled some of the most talented people in showbusiness to create this beautiful "Spectacular, Spectacular" musical/film. He is one of the only directors that can switch from comedy to drama to tragedy within seconds, while the audience feels only the emotions that he want to convey. He writes a mean script and has the eye of a brilliant photographer. This film is filled with some of the most eye-catching effects and arrangements ever brought to the silver screen.

BUY THIS DVD VERSION!!! WHY? The special features DVD is amazing and you could sit down and spend the most part of a day just watching the making of the film, interviews and script adaptions. It is a wonderful DVD! I bought it the day it went on sale!

I hope everyone enjoys the film and falls in love with the MOULIN ROUGE!!!

Summary: The Second Time Is The Charm?
Review: When I first caught Moulin Rouge in the theatre I was not impressd! The problem was the film felt claustrophobic; In Luhrman's Paris everything was so close chararcter's and key scenes seemed stiff. Amazingly in home viewing the clasutrophobic feeling WORKS! Long gone is the small world feeling its been replaced with a feeling of intimacy with the viewer. Moulin Rouge at home turns into an affair between two lovestruck misguided fools finding their way with you a riend along for the ride! Moulin Rouge is a musical that uses modern songs set to a 19th century Paris. This gives the viewer a sense of comfort and appreciation. To Luhrman's mistake he seems to reuse the same gimmick over and over again- this being fast editing. At times the camera moves so fast you have no clue where to foucus your attention. This film is not a masterpiece but it is a work of pure love and it come through for the viewer. Kidman and McGregor deserve Oscar nominations for their performances here-not the best acting but the most courage to tackle such demanding roles. I have to say the last 40 or so minutes of the film are awe-inspiring. The costumes and dark atmosphere hold more tension and depth than most traditional films could garner. Moulin Rouge plays like a comical fable with one of the most dramatic endings ever placed on celluloid. Kidman's porcelin face and sweat ridden features have more to do with love then any melody that pours out from the disc.

Rating: 5 stars
