Christian, a young wannabe Bohemian poet living in 1899 Paris, defies his father by joining the colorfully diverse clique inhabiting the dark, fantastical underworld of Paris' now legendary Moulin Rouge. In this seedy but glamorous haven of sex, drugs and newly-discovered electricity, the poet-innocent finds himself plunged into a passionate but ultimately tragic love affair with Satine, the club's highest paid star and the city's most famous courtesan. Their romance is played out against the infamous club - a meeting place of high life and low, where slumming aristocrats and the fashionably rich mingled with workers, artists, Bohemians, actresses and courtesans.
After watching Moulin Rouge in Films and Arts Appreciation class the other day, I still think the movie is fantastic (even if there were a few pervert scenes that makes you go =.="). YOUR SONG, for me, is especially special. It's on my most played play-list on my phone now.
Another Romeo and Juliet play. Another Jack Dawson and Rose story.
So the plot and storyline might be common; The synopsis and trailer may not be as convincing as it seems; However, the movie is simply beautiful as the story goes into a more understanding part of view. Advisable to be watched, for those who doesn't mind the whole movie being explained in singing, dancing, more singing and a perfect love story.
I don't care how old the movie is. I love it.
