A story about love.

The final chapter of Australian director Baz Luhrmann's The Red Curtain Trilogy. The opening film of the 2001 Cannes Film Festival.
The Moulin Rouge is a nightclub in Paris' red-light district built at the end of the 19th century, famous for being the birthplace of the provocative cancan dance. The film tells the story of a poor boy, Christian, who first arrived in Paris, fell in love with Satine, the top singer of the Moulin Rouge, but eventually parted ways. The director claims to be inspired by the tragedy of the Greek mythological hero Orpheus and his beloved wife Eurydice, but it is actually more from the adaptation of "La Traviata". Acura love is undoubtedly the theme of the film, and the related songs or lines appearing in the film are enough to make up a long and numb poem. The hero and heroine's desperate love for each other is touching, but the ending of the big villain Duke is a bit embarrassing - people also love Satine, and they promised to fulfill her dream of being an actress. Take this shit. Including the little black supporting role, who always stands up at critical moments and then walks away silently. This is infatuation. In contrast, male pigs with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes. They cheated little MM with a few small love songs and vulgar scripts, which is really not glorious.
As a musical, music is of course the most important. The Golden Globe Award for the best original composition is already the best affirmation, and those familiar popular song adaptations and skewers are even more talked about by music fans. As for the switch between singing and dancing and the plot, the director also handled it very well. The MTV-style dazzling cut was also nominated for an Oscar.
The film is considered to be the best musical in recent years. The voices of Ewan and Nicole are eye-catching, and Nicole's appearance in the film is even more beautiful. The film won the Golden Globe for Best Picture and Nicole for Best Actress. Although the Oscar was eventually lost, the golden statue did not make the beautiful Australian beauty wait too long - a year later, Nicole won the Oscar for her role as the legendary woman Virginia Woolf in "The Hours".

    No one said that it was such a neurotic film...Song and dance movies are not so crazy...If you keep staring at it, it is easy to be dizzy... 2+1 stars come out. That song for Ewan and Nicole...

    Even the director himself did not believe that without diamonds or even bread, the so-called love between the singer and the poor boy can last a lifetime, so he said to the singer: go to death...
