Movie Review:

Moulin Rouge:

2001 movie featuring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor.

Its a movie about the passionate love between a beautiful courtesan and a penny-less writer. It shows just how true the saying ' its better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all' is.

the story line is a stunning courtesan and very poetic writer fall in love but a duke driven by jealousy tries to split them apart and wants the courtesan all to himself. This movie is a musical there is literally another song every minute or so. Therefore if you are not a fan of musicals maybe steer away for this classic.

My opinion: I loved this movie I loved the story line and I loved the music. Its quite a full on emotional movie I cried in the end. As for the music it has a lot of the classics such as:

like a virgin - Madonna (performed by Harold and the duke)

Roxanne - the police (performed by Jose Feliciano and Christian)

The show must go on - Queen ( performed by Harold)

As well as many more classics.

I watched Moulin Rouge for the first time a few nights ago and ever since i have had the songs and movie on constant replay. I highly suggest this movie to people who like Rocky Horror Picture show and Romeo and Juliet it is a mix of the two. Don't worry though it's not shakesperian its all in English we can all understand, but the love story is a little similar.
