Black background, red lips and silk corset, seduction and love are self-evident here. Just like the name, the story is set in France in 1900. In a singing brothel, the heroine was the jewel of the brothel. An impressive sentence was probably: We are underground people, we are not worthy of love. This sentence pierces my heart, the sadness of losing love for profit and survival. The plot is very old-fashioned, very classic, met by accident, a famous prostitute, a poor writer and a rich duke, is it bread or love. The transformation of the brothel owner in the film is also the highlight of the overall situation. Diseases, threats, and insignificance in front of true love are vividly and delicately displayed. Those blood-red lips and penetrating eyes were like finding love in the infinite darkness. That is a deep-rooted love, but also its strength. That classic line: The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.
Because I was completely attracted by the plot, I didn't notice a lot of tricks. But the half-movie, half-musical feel makes me admire music once again. From Cancan Dance, to Diamond is women's best friend, from the love songs of male and female protagonists, and the secrete love song, every time the song plays, I want to stand up and be intoxicated. Musical's common songs and dances also appear again and again in the film, which are playful and not obtrusive. The Virgin and the tango behind them all develop the plot in the form of musicals. The director also often allows several story lines to occur at the same time, switching between similar shots of the sub-line and the main line shots, which has a more sense of hierarchy and urgency, firmly grabbing the audience's attention, and at the same time highlighting the hustle and bustle of the Moulin Rouge. of crowdedness. The switching of shots and the music complement each other, and the strong rhythm of the music also makes the shots with many colors and fast switching more orderly and not cluttered. Tango dance music really makes me unforgettable. When I think of the violin at the beginning, it seems to be back in 1900, that noisy scene, the day of indulgence.
The technique of using the male protagonist to write a flashback has also become a classic, including in "The Great Gatsby", although the former is the self-report of the male protagonist and the latter is the reproduction of a third party, but both create a Memories and an atmosphere of sadness.
The whole play adds a sense of surrealism and absurdity because of the interspersed musical. A walk in the clouds, and the comedy of the supporting cast, all add to the style of the film itself. The combination of colors, the use of time, the shots of the characters intersecting (to express dialogue and relationships), all impressed me.
