Review: Moulin Rouge
Priscilla meets Sound Of Music.Rating: 0 / 10
What a waste of time. LOOOOOOTS of time. Damn thing felt like it went for 5 hours.
Just about everyone I know liked this film, and frankly I can only assume they're all gay or blind+deaf. Possibly both. With lack of taste added.
Two hundred and thirty million dollars, and it's .. nothing. Pitiful plot, fucking horrible script, awful leading bitch, mostly awful supporting cast.
The problem is, the main two characters made perfect sense. She, the dirty slut who'd do anything and anyone just to become a second-rate nobody in a preferred career, and he, ambushed by his hormones, spends the rest of the movie chasing the worst arse since Roseanne did Playboy.
If the poor bastard had been allowed to lose his virginity at an earlier point this all could've been avoided.
Problems not including bad dialogue/acting/singing:
It's Romeo and Juliet. The fruitcake that came up with it obviously knows a good money spinner when he's on it, and has stuck with only the most minor of deviations to exactly the same storyline, excepting the fact that only the bitch dies at the end. Of AIDS, I suspect.
It's Romeo and Juliet. The costumes are all stupid and inappropriate. The stench of "I'm trying to make a statement about how original I am!" is overpowering.
It's not Romeo and Juliet. Nobody with a brain wrote this movie.
It had Christine Anu in it. That woman's parents need slapping.
Decent Bits:
Kylie Minogue's cameo doesn't last long.
I gave this one 0 stars, and that's being generous.
