Baz Luchmann's "Moulin Rouge" did not have much breakthrough in plot and thought, butshort in terms of performance. Kungfu broke the tradition of the song and dance film, and created a new movie vocabulary that combines song, dance and drama. This work created by Australians is based on Paris a hundred years ago. It reflects the feasting and extremely decadent cultural atmosphere of the city’s red light district through a gorgeous kaleidoscope. An eternal story that crosses time and space.
Hollywood films are increasingly using ready-made popular songs. Its role can enhance the sense of the times from a simple perspective, but in a more complicated situation, it can play the role of chorus in ancient Greek drama. Wonderful, that is, the content that is sung prompts, explains, refutes, and questions the plot on the screen. And "Moulin Rouge" pushes this technique to the extreme.
Another major feature of "Moulin Rouge" is its color and rhythm. The color of the film is gorgeous and full, giving people a dreamy feeling. There are countless colors in red and blue, and its richness far exceeds the shaping of the characters. This kind of "beyond the real" scene is of course impossible to shoot in real scene, and in the real world, probably only Las Vegas, a casino, has a bit of flavor in the film. One hundred percent of the studio setting also makes various shooting angles possible: the number of shooting angles of the film lens and the rapid change in editing are enough to make people dizzy, and this method is obviously borrowed from MTV in the hands of Luchmann. Just like a magician playing cards, another new trick appears before you can be surprised.
At the beginning of "Moulin Rouge", the special effects of editing and camera movement are dizzying, and the pictures are constantly switched in the mouth, declaring the extremely formal style of the film. The director created the Montmartre district of Paris in 1900, which was both decadent and luxurious. The luxurious nightclubs and dilapidated small hotels were separated by the windmill of the mill. The gorgeous scenery and dreamy colors. The scenes of the film are full of expressionist style, especially It is a model-made vision of the city of Paris and various buildings. The computer-controlled lens moves rapidly in various scenes, or quickly pulls away from the story to the distant view. This incredible lens movement reminds the audience that this is just a movie.
