At first, I went to see Nicole's prosperous beauty. In the hustle and bustle of the night scene, I always feel that this world of singing and dancing does not have the elegance of the 19th century European cocktail party. This is also in line with the background of the story. After all, they are dancers from the bottom of the society. Life forces them to hide their humble identities under a vulgar appearance - diamonds are their most reliable friends. To tell you the truth, the glitz and vulgarity of the opening did not give me the audition enjoyment that musical films should have, until her appearance - Satine, the brightest diamond in the Moulin Rouge. The youth is peerless, descended from the sky, and her clothes are fluttering. Nicole's face interprets the highest level of European and American women's beauty. Only the actresses of the golden age of Hollywood can be compared with them. The black-and-white photos of the past retained the suffocating beauty of the goddesses, and under the color lens, the fair skin and sexy red lips were frozen in the most beautiful moment, and there are no female stars who can do this. Perhaps red is the color that God made for Nicole. The wind blowing in the red dress that night, and the soft singing from the charming red lips, once again pushed her beauty to the extreme. If Nicole's halo is removed from the whole film, the rest will not dare to compliment it. As a musical, it is far from the beautiful and pleasant sensory enjoyment brought to the audience by the similar model "The Sound of Music", but it makes me feel superfluous and noisy (perhaps this has an inseparable relationship with the background of a low-end brothel), But it is not without its bright spots, such as the plot of Satine being captured, the gloomy Gothic scene reflects the dark heart of the Duke, the anxious tango dance steps set off the crazy jealous Christie, the two are intertwined, emotionally intertwined, and perfectly integrated. It is also the genius of the film.
The sour and poor scholar who loves to be jealous meets the beautiful prostitute who sacrificed for love. The pale face is oozing with sweat, and the delicate red lips are coughing up blood. How can it feel so familiar? Are you sure it's not a remake of "La Traviata"? For this so-called love that breaks through money and diamonds, it is ideal and fairy tale, but it is inevitably old-fashioned. The key to beauty is the process of mutual attraction and whether there is a reason for loyalty. For example, "Titanic", from the hero saving beauty at the beginning, to the later friendship, the classic oath left at the front of the majestic cruise ship, the lingering sorrow in the soft light studio, and the nuanced emotions are outlined under the camera, so The indestructible spiritual fortress built by this kind of love in the face of epic disasters has no sense of abrupt discord in the eyes of the audience who are aroused by powerful senses and souls. However, in this film, the fairy tale love is pale and old-fashioned in the thin plot, and the sadness is not poignant enough. Wearing a huge green hat with no friends but the ignorant villain duke, because he is not evil to the level of abhorrence, he does not play a strong contrast to the traditional love of beauties and educated youth. The ending of the run away always feels a little hollow.
In short, a first-class heroine, a second-class plot, and a third-class villain.
