I found a new fave movie this summer... as you may know if you read my last entry. It's a movie released in 2001: 20th Century Fox's Moulin Rouge, starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. In this musical-turned-movie, a poet falls in love with a beautiful courtesan whom an insanely jealous duke covets in this stylish musical, with music drawn from familiar 20th century sources. Just a warning, this movie has some sexual concepts, which is why I did not discover this movie until this summer, when I had a better understanding of such concepts.
But anyway, this movie was absolutely amazing! It has a thrilling plot, wonderful script, skilled actors, and best of all... spectacular music! It used some old songs that we know, along with some new ones. My favorites were Your Song, Come What May, and El Tango de Roxanne. You really have to watch it and experience the magic yourself to realize just how cool it is!
I'm no movie critic, so I'll just refer you to reliable IMDb's site for its official summary, reviews, info, and comments... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0203009/
Just trust me on this... this musical-turned-movie is absolutely 'spectacular spectacular'!
