Moulin Rouge?

[paulvonscott]

It's on C4 in 30 minutes.  Should I even bother trying to watch it?  

It looks just the sort of thing I'm going to hate,   so should I give it a go?

[Bolt-01]

Paul, don't bother. It really is crap. And I like musicals.

If you ever meet folks who think that Ewan is wasted as a Jedi, tell them to watch this and decide which is worse.

On the other hand - I hate musicals, but I really like this.

[SilvaShado]

I love musicals and I love Moulin Rouge.

[House of Usher]

Watchin' in right now. With  gin!

[Queen Firey-Bou]

i tried watching it once, but my utter revulsion at nicole meant i only lasted 3 seconds... ive got a new tactic, half watching & burying my nose in a book when ever the camera focuses on her or she starts squealing & yip-ing... shudder...  its quite enjoyable but for her..

why oh why couldnt they have put wee kylie in as the courtesan ? shes slutty but watchable & cute.

still my attention span only lasted this long on second try.

You'd have loved the Premier of the Chanel N05 'film' in the first ad break then...

[DavidXBrunt]

Maaaaan, but I love this film. I saw it the day I bought the Wilderlands collection and immediatley went back in to see it again. The person I went with didn't want to see it again, the people in the cinema didn't want me to see it again. But I did. And it was good.

Boring holiday anecdote: When we were in Paris for four days we walked past the Moulin Rouge just about every day, and we unable to do so without saying "It's the Moulin Roooooooouge" in the style of Jim Broadbent.

The actual Moulin Rouge is a bit shabby and crap looking, and possibly quite modern built as a replacemnt for an equally shabby and crap looking original. Oh, and it's a top film, IMHO.

I liked the first half better than the second.

Incidentaly, anyone seen the trailers for Phantom Of The Opera? That definately looks like it's shaping up to be a fifth rate Moulin Rouge.

[Devons Daddy]

i loved it
a brillant extended MTV video. with decent acting.
great colour and brillant covers of classic music.

perhaps i enjoyed as i watch a lot of theatre productions. which this is very much in the style of.
i have it on DVD and watch it now and then just for fun.brillant movie.

Anyone bought the Red Curtain Trilogy?  It has Mouline Rouge, Romeo & Juliet and Strictly Ballroom.

I got it as a gift about a year ago, but I have yet to see Strictly Ballroom.

Anyway, the concept of his trilogy is interesting.  Let me see if I can remember it correctly.

Strictly Ballroom is an exploration through dance.
Romeo & Juliet is an exploration through word.
Moulin Rouge is an exploration through song.

What'cha all think?

Moulin Rouge is GREAT!
Although I WOULD like to see Moulin Rogue in 'Tooth, just cos I can get enuff of blue skinned disco dancing genetic freaks on the front cover!

[Richmond Clements]

I love it too.
The Wife bought the dvd at the time it came out, and I thought it was going to be shite, but by grud, I enjoyed it.
