This is one of the greatest movies ever made. It's bringing the soul of the musical back into American pop culture. Musicals are fabulous, and this is no exception. Who would have thought that Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman could sing so well? Their excellent voices and emotion-filled acting carries this movie and makes it what it is. Baz Luhrmann created a masterpiece in Moulin Rouge.The best way to see this movie, now that it isn't in theaters anymore, is to get the DVD. That way you can see it in widescreen--you miss so much by seeing it chopped up, formatted for television. See the un-chopped-up version. Everything should be widescreen. Also, all the extras on the DVD are really fun. I especially recommend the different camera angles for the tango--but that's just one little tidbit of what you'll find in the depths of this DVD. It's a great thing to explore!
