sometimes i lie awake at night thinking about how if mr. brightside had come out just 2 years earlier it would’ve fit perfectly for ewan’s envious rage scenes. no shade to tango roxanne, you rule, but can you IMAGINE an over dramatic vaudevillian rendition of mr. brightside, ewan just absolutely scream-sobbing about jealousy turning saints into the sea...... i’m building a time & space augmentation device as we speak

FUN FACT: it's been scientifically proven that the most tonally pleasing sound to the human ear is ewan mcgregor's singing voice in moulin rouge

it is insane how relentlessly horny movies were right before 9/11. my man baz directed this thing like the tasmanian devil on cialis

i truly believe that nicole kidman rolling around on the floor wrapped in a fur blanket and pretending to be getting off on poetry is why cinema was invented

i love how people are gonna ask if i got lit for my 18th birthday but really i just watched moulin rouge and ate spaghetti

ewan mcgregor is the only Artsy Sad Boi™ in the whole world who doesn't make me violently roll my eyes

i don't know ewan mcgregor personally but i would trust him with my life

someone: wow, i love when taron egerton sang ‘your song’ in rocketman
me: yeah, but the original is better
someone: oh yeah, elton john, obviously 
me, putting in my moulin rouge dvd: no bitch, ewan mcgregor

Baz Luhrmann is the only director in Hollywood with the courage to answer the question, "What if Fellini sucked?"

every time i watch one of her movies i am actively resisting the urge to say “you have got to be nicole kidding me” every 25 seconds

i blame this movie for my ridiculous beliefs of love because i just expect every man i meet to serenade me on top of an elephant while a choir of unseen children provide backing vocals

-me before watching this movie: bitter, believed love was a lie, fully anticipated dying alone

-me after Moulin Rouge!: THE💃🏼GREATEST💃🏼THING💃🏼YOU’LL💃🏼EVER💃🏼LEARN💃🏼IS💃🏼JUST💃🏼TO💃🏼LOVE💃🏼AND💃🏼BE💃🏼LOVED💃🏼IN💃🏼RETURN💃🏼!!!!!!!!!!!! 

“Why live life from dream to dream, and dread the day when dreaming ends..”

Apparently I watched this 20 years too late because I don't understand what all the hype was for. This feels like it was directed by two different directors fighting over the camera and edited by an octopus with all left-handed tentacles.

Like, yeah, it has some visionary moments, but could you imagine if the tone/style/acting was all cohesive? I'm going to have to check out the stage production to see if the story holds up when the flashiness is stripped away.

Also, my opinions are totally because I'm watching this 20 years in the future. If I had seen this 20 years ago it may have been one of the formative movies of my life. I hate myself for not being old enough to have watched this in 2001. But that fact that it doesn't seem to hold up speaks volumes.

Let's remake this movie with a queer cast and Zendaya in the lead role.

Dare I say...

You haven’t lived until you’ve seen Jim Broadbent sing “Like a Virgin.”

I need love like this ;_;

how could anybody hate this movie? how? why? is your life so depressing and cynical that you couldn’t enjoy a nice good singing movie about love and life with the sexiest couple ever in film? 

i just wanted to say i liked moulin rouge

idk what to say man, i watch this movie more than anything else by this point. i like to cry i guess??!? also in my last review i said i'm gonna change my mind about love on the next re-watch and i'm here to say FUCK THAT i have not.

Sigo llorando. Every single time.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return.

La historia es medio simple y predecible pero lo compensa con la tremenda puesta en escena.

Me gustó que mezclen otras canciones conocidas a la película.

Por momentos es algo bizarro pero hace que también sea graciosa en partes.

No puedo dejar de mencionar a Ewan Mcgregor, todo vas a hacer bien?? 😍

I may have given it four stars if I was sober because I barely had a grasp on what the hell was happening.

The moon has a mustache and sings opera in Italian.

Green fairy tale romance that should collapse under its own weight, but instead remains in orbit to this day.

Another movie I'd watch over and over again. Ewan McGregor & Nicole Kidman's performance and chemistry were great, and all the other actors too. The entire film stays on point with it's theme of "Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and most of all, love", with all the quirky scenes and mannerisms of the characters. The music too is amazing, and the production level too never fails to disappoint me.

The Duke is honestly such a funny character, with how over the top he gets, and his interactions with Zidler are hella funny.
