I really enjoyed the MTV cartoon style of William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet by the same director (it was so refreshing to see the balcony scene in a swimming pool), so I was prepared for the quick camera movements and other special effects of Moulin Rouge. I really enjoyed this film on so many levels - it was wonderful to look at, was filled with sadness and comedy, and best of all, combined dozens of eras of music seamlessly and with fantastic results. Nicole and Ewan are great vocalists (young Obi-Wan even more so), so it's a blast hearing medleys you never dreamed would ever exist. The simple plot is bold enough to end tragically, as it should, and completely preaches truth, beauty, freedom and love, just as the characters do in their lives.Labels: movies
