Review of Moulin Rouge! (2001) by Phillip M — 06 Nov 2012

I'm normally not one to like movies of this genre, but this one totally passed my expectations. I was blown away, this is not only my favorite musical, (not that I've seen many) but it's one of the most heartwarming, emotional experiences I've ever had watching a film.

(You'd think I need to see a therapist after watching this) While it is a story of forbidden love, and something many of of us have seen before, its a lot more sophisticated than that. Its not just your average love story, its a love story that will make you really feel for the characters, more than any average one ever could.

This is one of those movies you just have to talk about in great detail, either that, or just show them the movie if you would rather not spoil it. The acting was ubelievably astounding, the script was very well written, some of the best I have ever witnessed, the plot was elegant, and the visuals of this movie are simply some of the most beautiful I have ever seen on screen.

Your eyes will be pleased, and the best part is....the eye candy compliments the story. I recommend this for pretty much anyone. If you like musicals, you most definitely will appreciate this film. If you don't, you may find you like this movie anyway.

It's a great story altogether, musical or not.
