Thank goodness that I am not the only one who walked out of Moulin Rouge. The MTV-style re-hash of old songs was lame, IMHO. You'd think that they could have paid someone to write some original songs, but they go and butcher Broadway/Hollywood classics like "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" and give the music a disco beat. I guess people were starved for any musical to come out of Hollywood and the producers were afraid that twenty-somethings wouldn't know any better. I must admit that some of the visuals were interesting--but, oh, that silly plotline!!!
To each his own...
I hate to say this but my wife and daughter actually liked Moulin Rouge. Mrs. DFU even bought the soundtrack. I refused to go see it so I retain my FReeper credentials.
