"Moulin Rouge" and "Chicago" were originally both Broadway musicals and can be said to be classics among classics. There has not been much change in the storyline. When the musical is remade, the first thing people need to evaluate is the acting, music, costumes, and stage. Until I found that many people who gave bad reviews did not start from these aspects and directly said that the plot was garbage, so they gave bad reviews. I don't know how many movies they've seen or how many musicals they've heard. But why would anyone say "Moulin Rouge" is so much worse than "Chicago"?
Compared with "Journey to the West" and "A Dream of Red Mansions", which are the same four famous novels, I believe that there will be more people who like "Journey to the West". People who can read "A Dream of Red Mansions" will like it, and those who can't read it will find it boring.
I gave "Moulin Rouge" five stars, but it's actually lacking, and when the male lead sang Elton John's "your song", I decided that this movie is my favorite genre. "your song" has been sung in many versions, and I have also listened to many versions, each version has its own unique charm, and I like it very much. When the male lead sings, the lyrics really seem to be tailor-made for this movie.
The movie is really in place in terms of casting. Ivan is fresh and immature, which is completely in line with the male protagonist as a young man who has just entered the city. Nicole's appearance is the best in the world. Although her acting skills are much lower than that of the actress, she is good enough to be beautiful. She can do whatever she wants when she looks beautiful. The other characters are pretty good, so I won't list them all.
The setting of "Moulin Rouge" is really beautiful and outrageous. At that time, Fox was really rich. The red house of the elephant really shocked me, and the windmills of the Moulin Rouge were also very dazzling. The clothes are also wonderful, after all, Nicole looks good in anything! Seriously, the color matching and style selection of the clothes are all in line with the setting of 1900. I'm not a professional either, what else is there to say after the Oscars have been awarded?
Finally, please don't evaluate foreign literature with your own fixed thinking logic. If you don't think it looks good, you can turn it off. If you insist on watching it and think it sucks, then please watch more musicals and read more opera literature.
