DVD Reviews of Moulin Rouge! (Widescreen Edition)

DVD Review: Moulin Rouge
Summary: 1 Stars

I purchased this for my 15 year old daughter who loved it. I did not watch the entire thing so my view is biased on superficial impressions of what little I did see. I don't care for musicals (usually), and I'm not a fan of Nicole Kidman so I had NO interest in this.

DVD Review: The Art of Tradagy...
Summary: 5 Stars

To keep this simple, this film is like art or even opera...either you like it or you don't. I find this movie to be creative, a visual treat to the eyes (amazing use of color and shawdows)and more, a very tragic tale of life, love, awakening and loss. Excellent performances and supporting cast was amazing. If you liked Evita or even Titanic, you are like me, a sucker for tragic love stories. I believe there are only two original songs for this film and the rest of from many wonderful artist and songs you will know. If you are going to watch this film for the first time, you may find it confusing or even a bit Corny. I did the first time, but as the tale went on, I was emotional drawn in by the story and totally believable performances by this excellent cast. This is a film you must watch more than once to truly understand where it is going. I have seen this film more than 20 times now because of the emotional connection i feel from it. I laugh at first and then I am feeling the memory of love as a youth and then...I feel the pain of that once in a life time love, that has ended to soon...

If you are a hopeful romantic, you will enjoy this film for many evenings to come and if you don't seem to get it, I feel for your loss...

Description of Moulin Rouge! (Widescreen Edition)

A spectacle beyond anything you've ever witnessed. An experience beyond everything you've ever imagined. Behind the red velvet curtain, the ultimate seduction of your senses is about to begin. Welcome to the Moulin Rouge! Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor sing, dance and scale the heights of passionate abandon in the year's most talked-about movie from visionary director Baz Luhrmann (William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet, Strictly Ballroom). Enter a tantalizing world that celebrates truth, beauty, freedom and above all things, love.

A dazzling and yet frequently maddening bid to bring the movie musical kicking and screaming into the 21st century, Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge bears no relation to the many previous films set in the famous Parisian nightclub. This may appear to be Paris in the 1890s, with can-can dancers, bohemian denizens like Toulouse-Lautrec (John Leguizamo), and ribaldry at every turn, but it's really Luhrmann's pop-cultural wonderland. Everyone and everything is encouraged to shatter boundaries of time and texture, colliding and careening in a fast-cutting frenzy that thinks nothing of casting Elton John's "Your Song" 80 years before its time. Nothing is original in this kaleidoscopic, absinthe-inspired love tragedy--the words, the music, it's all been heard before. But when filtered through Luhrmann's love for pop songs and timeless showmanship, you're reminded of the cinema's power to renew itself while paying homage to its past.

Luhrmann's overall success with his third "red-curtain" extravaganza (following Strictly Ballroom and William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet) is wildly debatable: the scenario is simple to the point of silliness, and how can you appreciate choreography when it's been diced into hash by attention-deficit editing? Still, there's something genuine brewing between costars Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman (as, respectively, a poor writer and his unobtainable object of desire), and their vocal talents are impressive enough to match Luhrmann's orgy of extraordinary sets, costumes, and digital wizardry. The movie's novelty may wear thin, along with its shallow indulgence of a marketable soundtrack, but Luhrmann's inventiveness yields moments that border on ecstasy, when sound and vision point the way to a moribund genre's joyously welcomed revival. --Jeff Shannon
