Moulin Rouge

FrodoFriend · 05-19-2002, 10:32 PM

I couldn't find a thread on this, so I'm starting one. Sorry if it's redundant.

We just got the DVD and I think I'm in love! (for the umteenth time) What a fantastic movie! The style was beautiful and it was extremely creative . . . and man, can Ewan McGregor sing!!

So anyone else seen Moulin Rouge?

***Khamûl*** · 05-19-2002, 10:56 PM

Nope. Haven't seen it. Probably should, but I haven't yet. Might have time to watch it now that school's out. It had better be good, since it beat Fellowship of the Rings out of an Oscar.

olsonm · 05-20-2002, 12:09 AM

Not yet but I plan to! I hear it's good.

StrawberryIcecream · 05-20-2002, 01:37 PM

AAAAAAAAAAAAA!

AM LIKE THE BIGGEST MOULIN ROUGE FAN!!!

Listen to soundtrack at least once everday and know almost every word! (even to the french one!)

anyway. It makes me cry soooo much (unless someone else is watching it cos im normally to busy watching how much they cry!)

I can recite the whole of the elephant love song medley with my friend and we always used to get told of for singing Come What May tooloud!!

Did you ever see it in the cinema?
I went into such hysterics that my friend actually had to start shaking me in an atempt to stop me! She didnt succeed!

Am listening to the soundtrack right now actually!

'Until the end of time
Come what may
Cooomee whatt mayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
IIIIIIIIII wil love you until my dying day!!!
Oh come what may!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wil love you (i will love you)
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place.
Come what may!!!!!!'

Oh goodness. I think im going to cry!

Im not joking. Im actually crying now. not just cyber crying. Im actually crying!

eowyn144 · 05-20-2002, 02:08 PM

number 2 moulin rouge fan here!!!
oh how i cried in that cinema!!!! it the first film that made me cry ever! (second only to The War)
i have the sound track, have nicked strawberry's video several times and LOVE ewan!!!!how georgous does he look in that hat!!!(minus the beard of course)
and how talented are ewan and nicole? i mean wow!to sing all of those songs, most of them live-ish and to act/dance at the same time!
and some of nicoles outfits were just georgous!

BeardofPants · 05-20-2002, 02:51 PM

Yeah, it WAS pretty good. Silly me, I didn't go see it at the theaters cos I thought it was a chick flick.

Faramir · 05-20-2002, 06:43 PM

"BECAUSE WE CAN CAN CAN!!!" Oh, sorry I'm listenibg to it right now.

I LOVE the soundtrack! I haven't seen the movie yet though. I'll have to soon.

Quote:

and some of nicoles outfits were just gorgous!

Those looked gross! Everythibg was like see through and she's like practically nude! But Ewan and Nicole ARE very good singers...
E:All you need is love!
N:A girl has got to eat!
E:All you need is love!
N:She'll end up on the streets!
E:All you need is loooove...
N:Loveis just a game!
E:I was meant for lovin' you baby, you was meant for lovin' me!

Elfmaster XK · 05-21-2002, 07:34 AM

So, would you recommend watching it then?

We have the DVD somewhere but i haven't watched it.

Faramir · 05-21-2002, 10:42 AM

Like I said, Haven't seen it yet. But my mom liked it a lot. You should try it.

StrawberryIcecream · 05-21-2002, 12:22 PM

I think eowyn144 and I are officialy the biggest moulin rouger fans ever! We actually performed the whole of the elephant love song medley in the middle of a field to one of my friends!

I actually nearly started crying today again because we all had a good sing of your song!

I reallythink Roxanne isthe most powerful song though.Its sooo dramatic with ewan singing on top as well!

definetly try it, it's little bit mad, just like you, so i'm sure you'lll love it

StrawberryIcecream · 05-21-2002, 02:50 PM

We can only dream eowyn!
I think i'll make that my life aim.To look good in one of those dresses. actuallymight have to make the aim rob banks to afford one of those dress's

Tell you what though, everytime i cough i always look down to see if i've couged up blood!

Faramir · 05-21-2002, 07:25 PM

O.K., let's talk about the songs! Here are the songs in the order from my opinion of best to least:

1. Diamond Dogs
2. Because We Can
3. Your Song
4. Come What May
5. Elephant Love Medley
6. Children of the Revolution
7. El Tango de Roxanne
8. Nature Boy (both of them)
9. Hindi Sad Diamonds
10. Complainte De Butte
11. Hindi Sad Diamonds
12. Sparkling Diamonds
13. Lady Marmalade
14. Rythm of the Night

Can everyone else do this too? Please? I'll be happy if you do!

**crickhollow** · 05-21-2002, 09:51 PM

I think it was a great step to incorporate the most famous love songs of all time. I mean, McGregor's character was supposed to be a great writer. How could the screenwriters come up with original stuff that wasn't cheesy? Instead, they were able to laugh at themselves.

I loved Roxanne too. I think it was my favorite song. Did anyone notice the symbolism in the lighting? McGregor was under a normal light most of the time, while Nicole was in a pale blue light. Then, at the end, maybe for the final twenty minutes, McGregor was also under the blue light...draw your own conclusions. You've probably all seen it more often than I have.

Faeirex · 05-22-2002, 07:11 AM

Ok, well, I've seen Moulin Rouge 5 times, once in the cinema and four times on DVD/video. And two of those were in the same week.

I too can do the entire Elephant Love Medley, and when I got bored in my Tech lesson I'm ashamed to say I spent the whole time singing Your Song and ELM under my breath. [defensively] Well, it was VERY boring.

Unlike you people though, I've never cried at it. Not once. Please don't have me killed or anything, but whenever I watch it and Satine's dying, I try to work myself up to cry, and then Christian starts sobbing like a woman. I do not joke.
And then I always start giggling.

Also, am I the only person (correction, one of 2 ppl) who think that when Christian sings the ELM, he looks like a bad Elvis impersonator?

Don't get me wrong, I adore the movie. It's hysterically funny, and the songs are AMAZING. Don't you dare mock them.
Hmmm Faramir. Lets see. Bear in mind this is from the soundtrack, cos they're different on the movie.

1.Rhythm of the Night [why did you put this at the bottom? On the soundtrack at least, it rules.]
2.Your Song
3.ELM
4.Lady Marmalade (can't decide what order I want these 3 to go in. They're all amazing)
5.El Tango de Roxanne
6.Come What May
7. I know I'm going from the soundtrack, but from the movie The Show Must Go On comes here
8.Sparkling Diamonds
9. Like a Virgin (movie again)
10.Because we Can
11.The Pitch (Spectacular Spectacular)
12.Children of the Revolution
13.Diamond Dogs
14.Hindi Sad Diamonds
15.Complainte de la Butte
16.Nature Boy (always skip it)

I think I've got all, or at least most of them here. Amd they're vaguely in order, but I can't really be sure. Rhythm of the Night is just the best! It's so great for dancing to!

I wonder if you can tell anything about someone's personality from the order of this. Faramir? Strawberry? Others who I can't remember the name of? Any thoughts?

Well, wouldn't you know, palantir guy turned out to be Dark Lord of Mordor. Just my luck. Could have been worse, I guess. Sauron not far or hairy, just disembodied force of evil. Must go now, have to raise massive demon army to scourge the earth. Also, have manicure appointment. Is no easy task keeping nails pointy.

Should have imprisoned him in easy-access dungeon where could taunt more effectively, and would not have to wait until after breakfast. Have crossed orcs with goblin men in caverns below Isengard. V. tedious experience as orcs and goblin men most reluctant to breed, even with dinner and flowers. Next time will try something easier, such as breeding goblins and cheerleaders to create super-perky army that can travel by day and will not complain about pink uniforms. Did not know when decided to make demon army for Sauron that would be so darn messy. Curse my decision to be Saruman the White. Should have decided to be Saruman the Muddy Brown, or Saruman the Faintly Greenish. White just shows all the slime.
