Plot: The third film from pop-music-obsessed director Baz Luhrmann tweaks the conventions of the musical genre by mixing a period romance with anachronistic dialogue and songs in the style of his previous Romeo+Juliet (1996). Ewan McGregor stars as Christian, who leaves behind his bourgeois father during the French belle époque of the late 1890s to seek his fortunes in the bohemian underworld of Montmartre, Paris. Christian meets the absinthe- and alcohol-addicted artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (John Leguizamo), who introduces him to a world of sex, drugs, music, theater, and the scandalous dance known as the cancan, all at the {~Moulin Rouge}, a decadent dance hall, brothel, and theater that's the brainchild of Harold Zidler (Jim Broadbent). Christian also meets and falls into a tragically doomed romance with the courtesan Satine (Nicole Kidman), who becomes the star of the play he's writing, which parallels the couple's romance and utilizes rock music from a century later, including songs by Nirvana, Madonna, the Beatles, and Queen, among others. Loosely based on the opera {+Orpheus in the Underworld}, Moulin Rouge was shown in competition at the 2001 {~Cannes Film Festival}. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Worst Musical Movie Ever
Added 11/17/2009

The movie was so long and drawn out with nothing but songs. Even the first fifteen minutes had nothing but musicals. My entire family had to shut this movie off and return it for a full refund at our local rental store it was so bad.

If you have a taste for cheesy musicals with a bad story line then this just might be your movie.

The movie felt like it was so drawn out even in the first fifteen minutes of watching it! I would say this was the worst musical movie ever!

Emotional
Added 11/14/2009

Pulls, Tugs and Dances with all of your emotions from happy-dance feelings, excitement, and explicit appearance of the insinuation of sexual desire in all of its wonderful forms without crudity--laughter and the finality of deep heart wrenching grief that the audience experiences. This movie moves you up and down the emotional scale. Absolutely amazing music and dancing! Loved it even though I was exhausted after each time I saw it. Think I've seen it 4 or 5 times.

I've Finally Decided I Like This Movie!
Added 10/28/2009

So, I saw this movie for the first time with some friends about 3 years ago, and I have to admit that I didn't like it. I was mad at the ending. But, I found that I kept thinking about the story. Life was busy, so about a year later I rented the movie, to see if I was remembering it correctly and if I liked it. Same thing. And now, 2 years later... I finally bought it. And, I have to admit that I really do like this movie, but it's different. It's eccentric. It's beautiful. And crazy. And funny. And very romantic. The story underneath everything is so beautiful.

And, I just have to say that it's beautiful because we, as women, but also as human beings (male and female alike) were made to love like this. Love deeply, wholly, passionately. That doesn't always happen in life, sadly. But nonetheless, that's what our hearts long for. "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." How true.

ps... there's also a song that fits that quote. It's "Made to Love" by tobyMac.

I wouldn't recommend this movie for kids, mostly just because of the first few scenes. She is a prostitute in a brothel/night club after all. But, the story is one you'll remember for sure. (But, it's because of those scenes and because of the eccentricness of the movie at times that I make it a 4. Some people probably won't like it)

Amazing musical!
Added 10/20/2009

Baz Luhrmann is a genius!
Any fan of his other movies (Strictly Ballroom and the newer Australia) will simply love this!
Even if it is a musical :)
