very classic musical

Many people are not interested in musicals. Me too. I watched some pieces. Personally, I think the most important thing about musicals is how to deal with the blending of music and plot, so that music can be used as an expression of emotion rather than play. Noisy and chaotic scenes that cut off the plot.
From this perspective, "Moulin Rouge" has a unique advantage. Since the "Moulin Rouge" itself is a cabaret hall in Paris, those unrestrained music and exaggerated "cancan dance" seem to go with the flow in the play. More importantly, these song and dance performances have potential historical connotations in addition to expressive expressions. In the 19th century Montmartre, Paris, there were many wandering artists, cafes and bars were gradually built around, and there were a group of girls in exaggerated skirts dancing "cancan". In this context, the frivolous and tragic love stories of dancers and writers, which are very common in the film, have a sense of historical weight.
Of course, I have to say that the music inside is really beautiful~~ Music enthusiasts should like it very much!
