Thoughts on Moulin Rouge

[Flatcap]

. Its a tale of love, loss, drama, pizzaz!

The definition of boredom.

I would rather watch a couple of hours of Dog Trials...

[smoky]

I liked 'lock stock and two smokin barrels' or something like that - there were a couple of them very similar, swordfish was cool as well.
I think I should've been horrified at the level of violence - but I must be a sad person - I enjoyed them.

I enjoyed the movie, most guys would never admit to it but I am secure in my masculinity. lol
Besides I think it has one of the best versions of 'Roxanne' I have ever heard.

[Curious_AJ]

yes, i LOVE the roxanne scene, where it's all dark and mixed in with ewan singing his "im going mad" song... I didnt like the movie at first either, i thought i was poo coz i didnt get what was going in, then i saw it again and LOVED it!! now, every time i watch it it grows on me more and more... I'm not usually a fan of such things, but this was just crazy enough to make me love it...

I think its a beautiful movie... bohemians rock my socks!!

[BuFfY]

It is my fave movie!!!
I love all the songs... I love the story... and Ewan is HOT!!

First time I watched it I wasn't too keen either but now that I own it, and watch it a bit I like it even more

Agree on the Roxanne scene!! So want to be able to dance like that!!

I also love Chicago but not as much as Moulin Rouge!

[judecatmad]

Yes, this will probably be PD'd but:

What are everyone's thoughts on the movie "Moulin Rouge" with Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman??

Personally, I love the movie, possibly my favorite movie of all time...
Nicole and Ewan can actually sing... Its a tale of love, loss, drama, pizzaz!
Its all that and a bag of crazy, crazy chips!!

If you havn't seen it, i recommend you do.. (I am watching it now ^_^)

Didn't like it.

But then there were no crashing aeroplanes, motorbikes, super cool slo-mo action or men in Navy uniforms in it so it was a lost cause right from the start! LOL

The only chick-flick I've ever really loved was 'Circle of Friends'

[Curious_AJ]

well, its not SOO much a chick-flick ... well, not the generic boring kind...

any other chick-flicks i have watched, i hated to no end! ...

but this one is just pretty... and insane... all at the same time!

[smoky]

Pretty and insane - sounds like most chics to me

[Curious_AJ]

haha, you have a point there actually...

Well, I guess it's time for me to come clean on this score - I love all musicals and dancing numbers (gah!) At a young age I was amazed by the likes of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing up a storm, Gene Kelly singing in the rain and his awe-inspiring number he did with a newspaper on the floor, Dick Van Dyke in Chitty-chitty-bang-bang (what can you do with a bamboo stick). Heck, I even remember the muscial version of Oliver Twist "consider yourself, one of the family!"

Ahh good times, I even enjoy all the muscial numbers in Walt Disney animations ... heck any animation even, I'm a sentimental, nostalgic, naive fool who still innocently believes in the power of a good dance number and song to sweep me off my feet.

I do notice, I am the only male by himself in these movies when I view them!

The more modern ones I have enjoyed are just merely pale imitations on the glory that has gone before (I still enjoy them all though!)

And yes, I do go to the ballet, opera and such (the last few I watched was Dracula, La Traviata ... and I will be attending more to come!) - I still haven't been able to watch a live Gilbert and Sullivan's performance however!

So, do I like Moulin Rouge? But of course!

So... where do I hand in my man card?

I think that makes you more of a man!!
And how lucky are you to be the only man in a cinema full of gushing women!! You must know all the tricks!! If I guy came up to me and said... like... "come what may" I would almost faint!!!

*gives you an awesome stamp on your card*

Well shucks! I usually go to these events myself - I would gladly pay for another ticket if a charming lady would offer her arm for me to chaperone them to said event!

Unfortunately most of the ladies I know usually are bored stiff with these sorts of things

(Read : I am a sucker!)

My sis and I love going to musicals!!! Anything with singing and a bit of a love plot and we are there!!!

I really want to go see the Lion King stage show but I think it has finished for awhile

[gijoe1313]

Well funny you should mention ... I'm intending to watch Fiddler on The Roof when it comes to Auckland in May!

I can imagine the look of people's faces when I turn up in my biker gear! I will be of course, wearing a full suit beneath it!

And these other selections of Dance positively makes me tap my feet!
