Movies and Music

This will come down to one of the best musical film ever!

MOULIN ROUGE


I myself have been a huge fan of musical films already... but moulin rouge is unlike anything i've ever seen. The art direction of the film is GREAT, as i love how they film the sequences of the movie. Plot is a little predictable, but still.. wonderful film in my opinion.


PLOT:
In 1900, Christian, an impoverished writer who has come from England the year before, types his story: he arrived in Montmartre and fell in with Toulouse-Lautrec and Bohemians who believe in freedom, truth, beauty, and love. They want to sell a show to the Moulin Rouge, and its impresario wants a backer so he can build a proper theatre. He's plying a duke, who wants exclusive access to the favors of Satine, the Moulin Rouge's consumptive star. She wants to be a proper actress, so the duke's offer is fine - except that she and Christian fall in love. Can Satine keep the duke at bay without losing his patronage, will he discover the lovers and kill Christian, and can love trump jealousy?


One more thing... this musical covers a lot of music hits man!
Example:
1. Smells like teen spirit- Nirvana
2. All you need is love- Beatles
3. Ain't no moutain high enough- (i think is diana ross)


So.. it's a mix of the music hits and some of moulin rouge's own songs like ' lady marmalade' .


Nicole Kidman, playing Satine.

Ewan McGregor, playing Christian, the talented writer. And FYI, He sings really well in the film. I'm shocked! And i'm impressed by his acting though.


Awards: Won 2 Oscars. Another 65 wins & 83 nominations ( Not bad eh?)
Imdb rating: 7.7



So i hope you guys can watch it... you won't regret it.
