Baz Lurhmann picked up this thread and wove it completely through Moulin Rouge. This is wildly creative, fusing Opera, Rock Opera, and slapstick into a heart-stoppingly beautiful statement of love, foolish pride, redemption, and loss.
Nichole Kidman and Ewan McGregor sing, as well as act their parts. The film is a silent rebuke to George Lucas, who didn't have the slightest idea how to get a similar performance from any of the terrific actors in the last three Star Wars films.
If you haven't seen this, you're in for a treat. As the credits say at the very end:
Well, it mostly says that.A film about truth ...
beauty ...
freedom ...
foolish pride ...
and most important ...
love.
