{OFFICAL} Moulin Rouge Discussion.
Website

Starring
Ewan McGregor, Nicole Kidman, John Leguizamo
Tagline
No Laws. No Limits. One Rule. Never Fall In Love.
Random Review
--------------------------------------------
I have seen Moulin Rouge at least 25 times. I think it is the most extraordinary movie of my generation and breaks every limit set by the industry. I have heard all the traditional complaints...people didn't like the music, the editing was too swift, or it wasn't "their taste". Moulin Rouge took a risk. A risk films like A Beautiful Mind and Shakespeare in Love don't. It risked by being controversial. To make a likeable movie isn't hard, follow the Hollywood mold and stick in a few attractive actors, some bland dialogue and viola you have a film. Moulin Rouge was made knowing that not everyone would like it, but knowing everyone would at least appreciate it for its artistic ingenuity. Visually it is superb, an indulgent feast for the eyes with every breathtaking, artistic scene. Everything about it is over the top, every scene more stunning than the next, and as it continues your heart becomes more and more intertwined in the love story. The editing in the Roxanne scene rushes through your body and is the most incredible of any movie in history. Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGreggor are the most passionate on-screen couple; entirely convincing as their voices meld them together into one. Never has a movie done what Moulin Rouge did. It realized that the world of film is only being represented in one small way, whereas Moulin Rouge uses a camera and screen to make something bigger and more extraordinary than has ever been made before. It pushes against the confines of convention and leaves you breathless.
--------------------------------------------
For obvious reasons among most, this is my absolute favorite of ALL the movies I've seen Ewan in so far. The beginning was a bit strange, but VERY BL-ish. Took me back to his remake of Romeo & Juliet.
Anyway... he couldn't have done better with any other cast. Ewan and Nicole were ultimate perfection in this movie. Beautiful, together and apart, and very talented. Ewan/Christian's voice... oh my, it's like heaven. The first time I heard him sing "Your Song"-- I simply died. His voice is the MOST beautiful I've ever heard.
Christian and Satine's love story is, by far, one of the best I've seen played on screen by far. So emotional... so tragic... so ultimately sad. But as Christian said in the end, "Ours is a love that will last all time." 
Favorite Scene: Christian & Satine in the elephant room when she thought he was The Duke. She initiated constant flirtations as he tried to read her one of his poems, and eventually he broke out into song, singing to her "Your Song". *sighs* I love that part of the movie. Also, the end when she dies in his arms. The scene was so tragic, very sad. And the work nothing but powerful.
Favorite Song: Your Song
Favorite Quote: Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months. And then, one not-so-very special day, I went to my typewriter, I sat down, and I wrote our story. A story about a time, a story about a place, a story about the people. But above all things, a story about love. A love that will live forever. The End.
What are your thoughts on this movie? Favorite Scene? Favorite Quote? Favorite Character?

 He is simply the best in that movie. I absolutely love Christian! His voice is actually the best male voice I have heard. He has an amazing range! He looks so fit with really dark hair don't you think? I love him and the film. No doubt it's the saddest I've ever seen too!
It's so clear to me, you MUST be my kindred spirit when it comes to Ewan McGregor, LOL. Everything you just said is EVERYTHING I felt about this movie.

I feel the same. I don't usually get into musicals. But considering Ewan and Nicole were in this, I gave it a chance... and damn, I'm glad I did. This is one of my absolute favorites!
Ewan has become my NEW favorite vocalist. He's got an amazing talent, and MORE than ONE at that.

Re: {OFFICAL} Moulin Rouge Discussion.
The absolutely funniest part is when they're inside the elephant and he's reading poetry and Nicole is on the floor acting like a lunatic and he's giving her all these random looks. IT'S HILARIOUS! That would be a difficult scene to film cause I'd be laughing like crazy!

Re: {OFFICAL} Moulin Rouge Discussion.
LOL, agreed. That was one of the funniest scenes throughout the entire movie. And especially one of my favorite scenes all together because of the song Ewan sings.

Re: {OFFICAL} Moulin Rouge Discussion.
okay, my two cents....
This movie, well, musical, needed to have a male lead that could sing, preferably, well, but, hey, theres all that new technology that can work wonders, they used it for Jim Broadbent (Zidler).... anyway, so Baz needed a singing male lead, and someone that was well known, you couldn't carry the movie on Nic alone, so, my mum were talking it over after seeing it for the umpteenth time, that either Ewan McGregor or Hugh Jackman would have had to been the top picks. Hugh was known for doing the classic stage musical, "Oklahoma!" and Ewan was known for his singing talent and other prowess in the acting business. So, basically it was either Ewan or Hugh, and Ewan won!!! lol... but, after seeing it, i can't picture Hugh as Christian, Ewan was soooooo right for the part!
fav charachter: two, Satine and Christian (how can you not love them?)
fav song: Come What May, the whole meaning of hte song speaks to me, that no matter what happens, how bad things are, you will always love oneanother. i've already decided, it's going to be played at my wedding, whenever that is....
fav scene: i like 'em all, can't really decide....
