Moulin Rouge

       Moulin Rouge, the movie was about an entrepreneur named Christian, who was minding his own business when suddenly unexpectedly three men broke in through the roof of his apartment. They introduced themselves as: Audrey, Toulouse-Lautrec and the unconscious argentinean, instantaneously they became friends. They invited Christian to a famous nightclub named the Moulin Rouge. Christian was very intrigued by the whole production, especially when Satine (the star of the show) preformed. Christian had a gorgeous voice; his colleagues believed he had potential, so Toulouse-Lautrec introduced Christian to Satine, disusing him as a wealthy business man named Duke. Of course, the Duke bombarded in on Christian and Satine at an affectionate moment, of mutual love. Instantaneously Christian’s friends walk in, and basically saved the day; they inferred that Christian was a script writer of a theater production in which they insist that Satine will be the star, and all they need is financial support, the Duke was apprehensive at first then agrees. Fortunately, they were able to fool the Duke, though only for a short time. Now they’re obligated to create an actual play. Christian and Satine fall more in love with one another over the course of time; though they faced many challenges along the way, for Satine has to constantly fake her love towards the Duke. Obviously the Duke has a heart for Satine, so there’s a constant battle between Christian and the Duke, sometimes it’s expressed verbally, other times it’s just hinted at. Though Duke holds the keys to the play production, in some cases this makes Christian inferior toward the Duke. However, I was not really fond of this movie, for the movie consistently used short film cuts, which made me, feel like I was watching a music video instead of a movie. I don’t know if they were trying to make the audience fell nauseous, especially when the camera zoomed in on the character’s faces. The acting seemed way to over dramatic, making parts of the movie very corny. Some scenes seemed unnecessary or stupid. Like the virgin scene, where the Duke finds out that Satine loves Christian, because Satine did not show up to dinner, he believes she is with Christian. This infuriates the Duke, who is financially supporting the play production, so he finds Harold Zidler the boss of the play's cast and expresses his anger towards what is happening. Harold Zidler lies to the Duke and states Satine not showing up because he makes her feel like a virgin, this is why Satine is actually with a Pope repenting of her sins. Then everyone starts to sing about how Duke makes Satine feel like a virgin, it’s weird, heads up there were jelly boobies in this scene, personally it made me feel like I was watching a child's movie with adult innuendos. The setting was also very basic, taking place in one spot and one spot only the nightclub. However, I did enjoy the final scene of the movie where Duke was trying to have Christian killed, and Christian was trying to save his last chance of love, all taking place in the final scene of Harold Zidler theater production. In conclusion, if this movie was rated on a scale between, 1 to 10, 10 being the best. I would score it a 3.
