"The greatest thing you'll learn is to love and be loved in return."

Unexpected plot, very good musical.

The splendid Ken Ken dance in the opening scene, Nicole's stunning glimpse under the blue and purple lights, various bold and flamboyant colors and the transition shots carefully designed by the director are the surprises that the film brings to people from the very beginning. The love story between a poor genius and a singing prostitute has always been the best theme throughout the ages. As I watched it, I was thinking, why can only one be given to spiritual love and material love? Doesn't the duke love Satine? I think it should be love. After all, Christian is facing Satine's "betrayal". What's the difference between that stupid look in anger and the Duke? If Satine can give the Duke the same love, wouldn't the Duke let Satine bathe in the joy of loving and being loved like Christian? I don't know, the movie didn't give the duke this chance, just like in "Titanic", the shredded meat didn't give the fiancé the chance.

Can people change because of love? Will it change because of money? I think it should be possible.

Satine died of illness in Moulin Rouge, and Jack died in a shipwreck in Titanic.

These insurmountable natural moat blocks between lovers, but because they stay in the best moment of love, they become the only one for each other. What if they get along well? That might not be a good love story, isn't Jack vulgar? Is he capable? Should I be more noble than my fiance in terms of personal character? Can Satine go from extravagance to thrift? Will her beauty and slutty past convince Christian of her?

As soon as these questions were written, I knew I was a layman. Ambiguity, contentment, love, doubt, quarrel, abuse, betrayal... Every pair of sentient beings is unavoidable, and there are a few people who really stick together for a long time. Fenghuaxueyue, firewood, rice, oil, and salt are all themes that movies like to sing about. No one is superior or inferior. Different stages of life have their own charms. It is also my harsh criticism to ask for the permanence of love.

There is no shrewd person in love, but it is still easy to get rid of the delay of the scholar. Women's lingering, inextricable, the physical difference between men and women is doomed to women's inherent weakness, even if she is cold as Satine, I have seen so many men who come and go, and I still remember from the beginning that I can't fall in love with them, but I also lost myself in those love songs and youthful enthusiasm.

It is basically impossible to get out of love. Women even more so.

    The song selection is so vulgar, such a magical love story, you sing I will always love you and give me a like a virgin?? Although the two leading actors are both at their peak in appearance, they are really exaggerated and noisy. It feels a few galaxies away from Baz Luhrmann's aesthetic.

    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...

Moulin Rouge! quotes

  • Zidler: You're dying, Satine.

    Satine: [long pause] Another trick, Harold?

    Zidler: The doctor told us.

    Satine: Marie?

    Marie: [silence]

    Satine: [singing to self] I was a fool to believe, a fool to believe. It all ends today, yes it all ends today.

  • Zidler: The Duke holds the deeds to the Moulin Rouge, he's spending a fortune on you, he's giving you a beautiful new dressing room, he wants to make you a star, and YOU'RE DALLYING WITH THE WRITER!

    Satine: Harold, that's ridic...

    Zidler: I SAW YOU TOGETHER.

    Satine: It's nothing. It's just an infatuation... it's nothing.

    Zidler: The infatuation will end. Go to the boy; tell him it's over, and the Duke is expecting you in the tower at eight.
