Loving and being loved are real fairy tales

The Moulin Rouge, the gentle town where the rich spend a lot of money, the dream paradise where the money is drunk, the hedonic place where the lavish and the lavish, the glitz and corruption are staged here every day. She, Satine, the top kabuki of the Moulin Rouge, is beautiful, charming, enchanting, and peerless. She is in the show and throws her arms around her just to get away from the joyous scene and chase her dreams. She is loved by three thousand people but lacks pure love; he, Chris Ting, a little-known writer, young and handsome, kind and simple, talented, disobeyed his father and went abroad to make the best of his ability to get ahead, full of romantic feelings but never fell in love. Putting this pair of protagonists together, I'm really sorry for the audience if they don't lead to a love story of a talented and beautiful woman, but for countless audiences watching the movie, such a story is obviously cliché. If it were left in ancient China, wouldn't it be the story of the Qinglou oiran and the poor scholar, plus the two absolute supporting roles of the prostitute who regards wealth as fate and obstructed by the wealthy and wealthy children of wealthy families. The difference is that the story was a comedy that audiences loved before it turned into a tragedy.
Comedy, or love, starts with a misunderstanding. Satine mistakenly thought that Christine was a duke who could make her dream come true, and tried her best to tease and tease, but Christine, who was ignorant and ignorant of this, had never seen such a posture, if she watched the show as an audience before If it is just admiration, admiration, and freshness, then facing this fatally attractive stunner, who is first hot and direct, and then fierce and sturdy, he is completely stunned, scared and foolish. Like being shot in the heart by Cupid, the soul was hooked, the soul was captured, and jumped into the river with a thud unconsciously. So, without even thinking about it, Kristin launched an offensive against Satine, using the verses she was the best at and the only one she could rely on. This move may be dismissed by other philistine prostitutes. Even Satine refused at first with "diamonds are a woman's best friend", but she is also a person who loves talents after all. All ordinary women yearn for love, so she finally agreed and compromised. Of course, although Satine was moved and conquered at this time, she still couldn't help but be aroused by Christine's ardent pursuit, fiery emotions and romanticism full of love supremacy. of loneliness, the most hidden instincts and the most innocent fantasies. Is love really, as Sidney said, just a luxury that the humble and lowly can't ask for? No, I can have it too. Because of Christine, Satine began to disbelieve in this evil.
The benefits of being in a relationship with Christine immediately became apparent. Christine is such a single-celled animal. Once invested, she is wholehearted and unreserved. In front of him, Satine does not need to cover up, disguise, guard against, or force a smile, just be the most authentic self. , Such a precious feeling made her gradually rely on this man, fell in love with this man, and thus enjoyed the happiness she had never had before. Falling in love made his mind full of talents and made her look radiant. Not only did they get along harmoniously, but their bodies were also in harmony. Coupled with the unique taste of underground love, as well as the secret pleasure mentality of cleverly dealing with the Duke and Sidney, it was like a fairy tale. Days, happy and envious.
However, happy times are always short-lived. Satine should have expected from the beginning that she was playing with fire, because they were dealing with no one else, but the Duke. The duke was fascinated by Satine, and signed the Moulin Rouge contract for her, but how could this arrogant, conceited, possessive person allow the woman he liked to have an affair with another man without telling him? How could it be accepted that this woman would rather have the penniless poor boy than eat and drink spicy food with him? What should come will always come. Satine rationally decided to use herself in exchange for Christine's ending, but after seeing Christine's lonely and painful figure, she could no longer show her skilled acting skills, restrain her love and pain, and finally angered the duke and fell short.
The lightheartedness of comedy is due to deceit and misunderstanding, and the climax of tragedy is precisely deceit and misunderstanding. On one side is the duke's threat to kill Christine, and on the other side is the truth that she will die soon. The arrangement of fate has made Satine the only choice. She can't compete, so she can only obey, breaking Christine's thoughts by herself. , even if the heartache is unbearable and the blood is not stopped. As for Christine, he still foolishly believed that "a bitch is ruthless, a joker is unjust" turned out to be true, he regretted not listening to his father's words, so now he has become a downright jerk who is toyed with by a money-worshiping woman. Poor big fool. The final performance became the focus of conflict and conflict. Christine heard a lot of love in Satine's singing, and the two reunited. It is a pity that although the Duke's attack failed to hurt them, then The sentence "No one died?" became the curse of the two, and Satine finally fell down and died poignantly. The most perfect performance was also the final swan song.
I feel sad for Satine, not because of her illness and her death, but because she shouldn't really be in love with Christine. With beauty, intelligence and talent, she has been working hard for her ambitions and dreams. The Duke's favor makes her only one step away from success, but Christine's appearance disrupts her plans. I thought it was just a momentary confusion, but I didn't expect it to get deeper and deeper. After working hard for so many years in the Moulin Rouge, how could Satine not understand the indispensability of material things, but, bathed in love, she craved the beauty of love and almost lost her judgment and reason. For a person who is about to die, who once had a reality that has lasted far longer than eternity, then a love without a future may be just the right meaning, but Satine didn't know her illness. Obviously, what she insists on is Christine, What she longed for was forever. For him, she was willing to give up the great opportunity that she almost got, and she was willing to observe the festival for him, run away with him without hesitation, and even acted as a villain against her will to save his life. In Satine's heart, it's self-evident that love, dreams, and money are more expensive and less important, but that's what makes people even more embarrassed.
On the other hand, Christine, although he fanatically pursues the creed of "freedom, truth, beauty, and love", although he loves earlier than Satine, his love is so superficial and superficial. I had no intention of accusing Christine of anything, until he threw money on Satine in public, I couldn't help but despise him. This man is not only stupid, but also extreme, naive, and simple-minded. Does he think that such revenge can restore his self-esteem and eliminate shame? It just means he can't afford to lose. What he insults is not only Satine's deception and betrayal, but also his firm belief and dedication to love. What he denies is not only Satine's hypocrisy, but also his sincerity. His possessiveness and jealousy are no less than that of the Duke, but his view on love is much more idealistic than Satine's. It can even be said that what he loves is just the feeling of love, pure, sweet, joyful, excited, lingering, Obsessed, crazy, all kinds of good feelings. Just think, how can love that is only based on passion, romance, imagination and sexuality, without the necessary trust and tolerance, stand up to scrutiny and tests? Therefore, once the setbacks come, he will be devastated and resentful of Satine, because she has trampled and ravaged his precious happy memories and wonderful fantasies of love.
Some people say that since Satine decides to run away, she should be prepared to share the joys and sorrows, and she should abandon her clothes and jewelry to show her determination. Not only will they not have misunderstandings if they leave early, but they can also spend a free time outside. Let's be realistic, how do they live without money, won't Satine regret and complain because of the gap in conditions? Will Christine's jealousy, suspicion, and suspicion ever disappear entirely? The problem in front of them cannot be solved by words of love and faith, because in the real environment, love will deteriorate and faith will be eroded.
In fact, there is another translation for this film - Dream of Flowers, which is also very appropriate. Christine's writer dream, Satine's actor dream, and most importantly, the love dream between them, after all the changes , was ruthlessly powdered. Looking back suddenly, from bliss to grief, it was like a dream, and my heart was filled with sympathy. I remember the classic lines of the film: "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love and be loved in return." Yes, love and be loved is a matter of knowledge, and Satine's death is a pity and tragic, at least she was in the final exam He got a high score in the middle school, fulfilled his vow to never die, and hugged the man he loved until the last moment without any regrets. For the living Christine, his learning has just begun, and his dedication The price is expensive enough to regret for a lifetime.

In my impression, "Moulin Rouge" seems to have set off a wave of musical films, but because I am not very interested in this type of film, I did not pay attention to it. After many years, I still read it, and I wrote so many words, which is probably a chance.
The Moulin Rouge is really what I imagined to sell the gold cave. In order to express the extravagant scene of the Moulin Rouge, the director generously handed over large sections of film to the song and dance scenes, and the producers spared no expense, so we saw a feast, colorful songs and dances, gorgeous and gorgeous Sets, dazzling costumes, and Satine, who made a shocking appearance in the starry night. It is unimaginable that Nicole Kidman's comedy cells are so rich, the exaggerated body language is overwhelming, and the sexy and slutty exudes from her body is also a very rare performance in her other works, plus the interaction with other supporting roles. Against the background, the first half of the film is more of a farce than a comedy. The handsome and handsome male protagonist Ewan McGregor also performed exceptionally well, interpreting the contrast between Christine's shyness and simplicity when she was misunderstood by Satine and the bold and enthusiastic pursuit of Satine. Not only that, her expressive power The beautiful and infectious singing voice is also really surprising. It makes people feel that it is a pity not to be a singer since he has shown his sharp edge. I believe that Ivan will capture the hearts of many young fans with this film.
Love stories often have things that the audience can't understand, and this film is no exception, and I focused on Satine's illness. It's not just one or two times that Satine fainted suddenly. Is she really so unconcerned about her health? Moreover, the timing of fainting is too deliberate, the chain will never fall at the critical moment, and even death is the most romantic situation, so-called dying at the most damnable time. What's even more strange is that Satine is fine when she is with Kristin, although it is a terrible thing to faint when falling in love or even flirting, but this is only logical, isn't it? Could it be that this is the power of love, tension and anxiety will cause disease, but excitement will not? Or, in this way, Kristen thinks Satine has a good reason to say that she was lying because she was ill. But then again, Satine really can't tell from the outside that she is terminally ill. The makeup artist must have done it on purpose.
Seeing this, some people will probably say, why watch a movie so seriously, it's enough to be moved. Yes, it's just a love story, you think it's reality, but it's just a fairy tale. However, to love and be loved is a real fairy tale. It is both sweet and bitter, wonderful and helpless, obsessed and resentful, jealous and doubtful, romantic vows and severe tests. Love is vivid and colorful.
