I adore the fact that the whole movie is set around a love that can't really exist (kind of like Romeo and Juliet, i guess.) However, the songs are beautiful, the actors are amazing and the sets, scenery and colours of the film are really luxurious. The theme is such a refreshing change, all about the Bohemian revolution and their beliefs of beauty, freedom, truth and love, overcoming everything. This movie is perfect. No faults from me!… Expand

First of, I must applaud Baz Luhrmann's great vision and direction - it surely was superb! The technical aspect of the film is extraordinary: amazing film editing, breath-taking cinematography, perfect music and just overall an excellently made film. The actors, though, make the film what it is. Nicole Kidman is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT as Satine, and has become my favourite actress ever since I first watched this masterpiece. One of the best performances I've ever seen on-screen: she sings, she dances, she dies. Perfect summary. But it's also so much more! And Ewan McGregor - who would have thought he could sing like that??? Amazing voice and one just falls in love with him. The supporting cast is also brilliant, especially Jim Broadbent who deservingly took the BAFTA award home for 'Moulin Rouge.'

Overall, Moulin Rouge is an eye-candy film for people who truly believe in freedom, beauty, truth, and above all things - love.… Expand

And as if the song selection and delivery weren't entertaining enough, they added a ton of visually stimulating wardrobes and set designs. I am not a person that enjoys musicals very much, but this movie is so much more than a musical. I could sit here and type on and on pointing out the many reasons why Moulin Rouge is fabulous movie, but I don't think I would do justice to the movie. I never get tired if seeing this movie, its always just as entertaining as the first time I saw it. Stubborn people like VincentV. will probably always give horrible reviews to movies where there's no over-the-top mayhem and/or nudity.… Expand

This is a frenzied, messy movie musical, but it is highly enjoyable. Nicole Kidman exhibits a range that is almost too astonishing for words: she succeeds in high melodrama, camp, subtlety, comedy, and her singing is just so beautiful.

Personally, Jill S., I don't think she falls flat with her comic bits at all. She has perfect timing; the scene in the elephant dressing room in particular really showcases her gifts for comedy. The way she shifts her eyes, raises her eyebrows, and adds that hilariously seductive tone to her voice is pure comic genius. And she's gorgeous beyond belief.… Expand

Moulin Rouge! (2001)

Sinopsis: Christian, un joven poeta parisino que abandona el hogar para mudarse al barrio de Montmartre, cuna de la bohemia romántica de finales del siglo pasado y de curiosos personajes y artistas comoMoulin Rouge! (2001)

Sinopsis:

Christian, un joven poeta parisino que abandona el hogar para mudarse al barrio de Montmartre, cuna de la bohemia romántica de finales del siglo pasado y de curiosos personajes y artistas como Toulouse-Lautrec. El sexo, la absenta y el Can Can son las únicas reglas que parecen existir en este barrio que se ha convertido en el centro de la noche parisina y por encima de todo, como gran punto de referencia, el Moulin Rouge, que vive su mayor momento de gloria gracias a Satine. Satine es la estrella del cabaret y la cortesana más deseada, que aspira a convertirse en actriz. Cuando Christian la conoce se enamora perdidamente de ella y la convierte en su musa.

Opinión:

Para empezar, nunca vi esta película en su momento ni en los años posteriores hasta apenas 15 minutos atrás, no creí que me fuera a gustar, pero la verdad es que acabé viendo estrellitas de lo mucho que me encantó. No es para nada perfecta, tiene varias incoherencias a nivel narrativo, o sea, una película que está basada en una ópera y en una novela, que a su vez está ambientada entre 1899 y 1900 que incorpore a su repertorio canciones de Nirvana y Madonna le restan mucha seriedad al guión, a nivel visual creo que es tal vez demasiado pomposa, lo cual no me molestó, pero puede que a varios les haga explotar los globos oculares, las actuaciones están a la altura, tenemos a una Nicole Kidman divertidisima y llena de sensualidad y por otro lado a un adorable y tímido Ewan McGregor, el cual es un verdadero encanto aquí, ambos hacen una dupla excelente sin lugar a dudas.

Pese a las inconsistencias mencionadas, es una película musical lo suficientemente buena para cautivar a aquellos los que les guste el cine de este género, entretiene como es debido a pesar de que para mí gusto es demasiado cursi, de no ser por el reparto, ni siquiera la hubiera visto, una versión encubierta y menos molesta de Romeo y Julieta.

Valoración:

5 ⭐ de 5 ⭐… Expand

It allows the watcher to feel as though he or she is actually in the night club. The anachronistic music allows the audience member to really feel the emotions that were experienced during the time that the club was at it's early 20th century high points. The characters are well thought out and deep, and unlike many musicals, it seems believable that these people really would just break out into song together. Everyone should watch this movie several times, because it does take getting used to the hyper activity that is the Moulin Rouge.… Expand

With a very well done romantic element and very good musical numbers, Moulin Rouge! avoids the traps that many "musicals" fall into and it makes all of the songs incredibly enjoyable, rather than leaving them with a feeling of being out of place and just unnecessary. Here, the songs are over the top as expected, but always enjoyable and always seemed to provide the most magical of movie moments found in this one. Ewan McGregor is great here (if what I saw online is true and he did do all of his singing, then wow am I impressed, he has an amazing voice), Nicole Kidman is very good too, as is John Leguizamo and the rest of the cast. This one is Baz Luhrmann at his very best and it shows.… Expand

I am 17, and I thought the film was near-perfect, I mean I loved the overall look of the film with its gorgeous costumes, dazzling choreography and sumptuous cinematography. The script was very poetic, especially when Christian is comparing Satine, the beautiful courtesan to a "sparkling diamond", and when Toulouse exclaims "I hope the piano is tuned". The songs are wonderful, particularly "Come What May" and "The Show Must Go On", and everybody in the cast does their own singing, and I honestly didn't know Ewen MacGregor could sing, he has an amazing voice. I have heard too many complaints saying there are too many songs, but do bear in mind it is a musical, and to me, being an aspiring singer, music is like poetry, and very often is the best way to describe your mood. I thought the performances were brilliant. Ewen MacGregor is very earnest and likable as always as Christian, and Nicole Kidman is both fabulously sexy and wonderfully tragic as the consumptive Satine, and the character's death scene was quite heart-rending, and was very reminiscent of the Greta Garbo movie Camille(which I will admit I like more). I also liked the performances of Jim Broadbent as the sympathetic Ziegler and Richard Roxburgh as the wily duke. However there were one or two aspects that were extremely silly, like the hilarious Can Can scene as well as the duet between Ziegler and the Duke, and compared to Jose Ferrer's more poignant portrayal as Toulouse in the 1952 version, John Leguizamo as the character mayn't be to everyone's taste. Overall, a beautiful extravagant film with a 9/10. Bethany Cox… Expand

Unfortunately she's been promised to the Duke whose going to turn the club into a theater and Satine into a famous actress. Against all odds they pursue their romance with the villainous Duke moving in. The movie is wonderfully romantic, magical and infinitely creative. There is no other cinematic experience like this.
