Four surprises brought by "Moulin Rouge"

I saw the trailer before watching this movie, and I glanced at the media's publicity. I was surprised by the plot several times during the process of watching the film according to the habitual thinking.
The first accident: it is actually a flashback structure, which tells the audience the final ending at the beginning of the film.
The second accident: I knew that Ewan McGregor sang well, but I didn't expect it to be so good. A few glances before the introduction said that Nicole Kidman's performance in the singing part of the movie was very good, and Ewan was not mentioned. It seems that everyone has become accustomed to him singing well.
The third surprise: the combination of plot and song is too funny. I've been laughing for a long time since "The Sound of Music" came out at the beginning. Of course, this requires listening to a lot of songs before to get the effect. Otherwise, the people around me will only be confused if they keep laughing.
The fourth accident: the character, always thought that the theater manager would be a traitor, but in the end it was not. It's sad to see the end, but it's not heartbreaking.
