Moulin Rouge is so great, because Baz Luhrmann really said 'what if I make Orpheus and Eurydice, but it's MY version' so he added a raspy voiced, sleepy Argentinian, two middle aged men homoerotically singing Like a Virgin to each other, a breathy Nicole Kidman in enough glitter to bedazzle a whole country, John Leguizamo as a Famous french painter, Kylie Minogue as a Hallucinogenic Tinkerbell, and young Ewan Mcgregor as a hopeless romantic with an endless supply of pop hits he can instantly summon, and he created the most gloriously colorful, captivating, and camp movie movie musical of this century so far.
Curt is Christian and Owen is Satine. Cynthia is Zidler, The Duke is just idk Chimera>? Probably one specific member, maybe the boss of it? Santago is Tati and Nini is Barb.
I have nothing else for this other than yeah it sounds cool and also I love Moulin Rouge (I have El Tango De Roxanne on my curtwen playlist too so this is just me being like "yeah that justifies that being there")
Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months. And then, one not-so-very special day, I went to my typewriter, I sat down, and I wrote our story. A story about a time, a story about a place, a story about the people. But above all things, a story about love. A love that will live forever. The End.
Moulin Rouge! (2001) dir. Baz Luhrmann
