I am a huge fan of the film, (I think I've seen it abut 200+ times)<BR/><BR/>The reason I'm replying to this post is because I'm converting one of Bangalore's (The city I live in) largest night clubs into "Club Moulin Rouge!" for just one night. The event is scheduled for Sunday, the 3rd of september, and preparations for the same are underway in full swing.<BR/><BR/>I'm talking Can Can Dancers, Green fairies, Harold Zidler, The Tabasco Brothers, the windmill entrance, the elephant as the dance floor, et al.<BR/><BR/>I'll post pictures of the same on my site once the party's done, and I'll share the link with you.<BR/><BR/>Cheers! <BR/>KaushikAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1156722883661521092006-08-27T19:54:00.000-04:002006-08-27T19:54:00.000-04:00What i'm gonna say it's going to sound stupid, but...What i'm gonna say it's going to sound stupid, but I saw this movie,on marcht 20th 2002, (I keep the ticket), this day i was making my monography to obtain my degree, and i was completely blocked. After I saw it, i felt so enlighted that two hours later i had completed. <BR/><BR/>I loved the red curtain, the FOX fanfarre in black and white, and then "The sound of Music".

(I finally finished reading it, I have been ...Aw... (I finally finished reading it, I have been busy)... this has given me renewed appreciation for the lovely Moulin. And for Kidman. I am so mad again that she lost that oscar to Halle "look, in THIS movie they didn't even pay me extra to bear my breasts" Berry. <BR/><BR/>Do you really think Kidman's perf here and here alone (no cheating with 2001) is better than Watts' in Mulholland? If so, wow. You must really love it. It has been growing on me all the time. Originally, NK annoyed me in this movie and I chalked the nom up to the double whammy and the divorce. I actually (don't hit me!) wanted Berry to win when the oscars happened. I was in a very PC type of phase. And my taste wasn't as good.<BR/><BR/>Plus, I'd always liked Ewan better, but yeah, with time, Nicole just gets better, and much less annoying. The little smile under the skirts was perfection, as was the exchange between her and Zilder backstage ("oh, my little STRAWberry! how could they possibly resist from GOBBLING you up?").<BR/>I love this movie.<BR/><BR/>Also, thank you for the inspiration, because I am writing a musical right now for school that hope might eventually be performed, and it is heavily inspired by Moulin Rouge. This gets me very much in the mood to keep writing (hint: this thing may never get written. I'm losing hope).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, keep up the good work.adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1156544914669017692006-08-25T18:28:00.000-04:002006-08-25T18:28:00.000-04:00I wish I could write something half as in-depth an...I wish I could write something half as in-depth and awesome about some of my favorite films.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait for the rest!Javier Aldabaldehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426828972109311760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1156541453455626102006-08-25T17:30:00.000-04:002006-08-25T17:30:00.000-04:00I saw this movie 5 times at the cinema and became ...I saw this movie 5 times at the cinema and became obsessed by it.It was the sole reoson I bought my first DVD player.

I got the two years ago as a gift for my 26th and I can watch them over and over again. My two favourite actresses at their best. Nicole' entrance is the best ever. I really wish she had left Tom sooner and kicked her career into gear earlier.
