first motive for watching "Moulin Rouge" is because its starring role is Tom Cruise’s wife (now an ex-wife)-Nicole Kidman, I want to see her How about acting and temperament. Of course, it still feels like everyone said: WANDERFUL!
This is a love movie with historical basis. The place where the story happened was in the cabaret hall of the same name in Paris. There are two famous cabaret halls in Paris, one is the American Broadway-style Lido cabaret on the Champs Elysées in the city center, and the other is the Moulin Rouge near the white square at the foot of Montmartre in the north of the city. The French-style cabaret "Moulin Rouge" of the Moulin Rouge with a long, red-glowing impeller on the roof is where the story takes place.
When watching this movie, I feel that "Moulin Rouge" is the "La Traviata" written by Alexandre Dumas. When I saw Sha Ting coughing and vomiting blood, I knew Sha Ting was Margaret. Sha Ting and Margaret are both prostitutes. The stories are both set in Paris. They both have an unforgettable love. They sacrificed themselves for their boyfriend. They were misunderstood by her boyfriend. They all died of tuberculosis. The last paragraph The stories are recorded by his beloved. Compared with La Traviata, Sha Ting is happy, because rejecting the Duke’s father’s request is never more difficult than rejecting the request of her boyfriend’s father. The most important thing is that at least her lover was by her side when she died, and her lover understood him before he died. Therefore, when watching "Moulin Rouge", I was not greatly shocked by the plot of the story. What shocked me the most in this movie was the superb performance techniques of this musical.
Musical drama has inherent advantages and disadvantages. If grasped well, it can become an immortal work in the history of film. On the contrary, it will fall into the bottom of vulgarity. In order to grasp it well, the factors such as dance, music, emotion, etc. must be balanced and full of vitality. "Moulin Rouge" is such an example.
"Moulin Rouge" combines beautiful music and passionate dance in an impeccable way. This is also a vivid expression of our ancient saying, "If you don't speak enough, you can sing it; if you don't have a song, you can dance with your hands, and it is enough to dance." Mere dance without music can not constitute a rhythm. Only music without dance can not be enough for performance. If emotions are not included, dance and music will be just a moving scarecrow. In "Moulin Rouge", we can't find a monotonous feeling. When there is singing, there is dance, and when there is dance, there is music. The most important factor that runs through it-love is also incisively and vividly through dance and music. It showed up, and it seemed very tense.
When Christian confessed to Sha Ting, it was not a general way to say "I love you" in the play, because it will never be better than the singing of "Even if you are exposed to the wind and frost, love you forever, until death comes"! Everyone has a variety of emotions in their hearts, which are usually difficult to detect. Beautiful and shocking music can move people the most, just like the voice to people; emotional dance can express the connotation more, just like the body to people; romantic and extraordinary love stories are like bone marrow to people. Without bone marrow, a person's appearance is only illusory, and when it withers, the movie is the same.
The application of music and dance in "Moulin Rouge" is just right. When Christian wooed Shading, when Christian and Shading confessed to each other, when Hadlow lied to the Duke, the troupe explained to Christian that prostitutes cannot have love, rhythmic or beautiful music and dynamic dance It became a transition of the development of the story, and this transition seemed very natural and unrestrained at all. This is of course inseparable from a good director.
The director of the film is Baz Luman, a well-known Australian director. The director who graduated from the National Academy of Drama in Sydney directed "Dancing Heroes", which moved the world film scene. His most famous work is "Red Screen Trilogy", and his carefully designed way of motivating the audience to participate in the production of the film is of its own kind in the director community. In the "Trilogy", "Moulin Rouge" is considered to be his most successful film work.
"Moulin Rouge" is the most shocking musical that I have ever seen. Bazluman’s directorial style is my first contact. He has a good grasp of musicals and gives a beautiful concept and a strong shock. , It opened my eyes, and I couldn't help but admire: It turns out that the musical can be filmed so beautifully!
Another fascinating advantage of "Moulin Rouge" is the shooting through time and space. When presenting the story of the Moulin Rouge, he used the technique of Christian's recollection to shuttle between the past and reality, giving the audience a real feeling. The fairy-tale scenes interspersed in the film will return to the director's original intention, making the audience less likely to have an illusion. When describing the love in the story, the application of the long lens gives us a glimpse of the whole picture of Paris, and makes us feel that the Moulin Rouge is like the center of the world, because there is the most sincere love here. Between heaven and earth, the love between Christian and Shading is the core of heaven and earth. The long shot undoubtedly pushes love to a new height, sublimating the theme of "the most wonderful thing in the world is to love someone and be loved".
Timeless love, poetic heaven and earth, romantic tunes, and exquisite dances, you can see, hear, and even touch. This is "Moulin Rouge", the always rotating Moulin Rouge!
