Since I started dating Steve, some of his habits have rubbed off on me and I now have the tendency to purchase movies merely die to their good prices. The difference between him and me is that I don't watch them. I would always prefer to catch half a movie on TV rather than commit a couple of hours to watch one on DVD. Despite being my favorite musical ever, Moulin Rouge was no exception. It sat unwatched until I finally forced Steve to watch it with me."Spectacular, Spectacular, No words in the vernacular!"
Let me just say, this move is great. As with Romeo and Juliet, Baz Luhrmann did a fabulous job. It is a great mix of plot and thoroughly entertaining songs. Unlike most musicals, I really like the majority of the songs, and even the ones I don't love aren't that bad. They are catchy and singable. They also include a lot of recent songs like "Like a Virgin" or "Roxanne." Also, Nicole Kidman is actually likeable in this movie. She and Ewan McGregor have great chemistry and sing well.
I love it! And I highly recommend it. (I only speak the truth!)
