Wow. I adored MOULIN ROUGE. My boyfriend and I saw it three times at the theater and bought the DVD the minute it came out. I never found the dialogue remotely incomprehensible, laughed myself into cramps over the way they used modern music, and was in tears of joy over the can-can number. It is my #1 favorite movie of all time. Amazing how much impressions can vary.

It is my #1 favorite movie of all time. Amazing how much impressions can vary.

Tis true, my co-workers and I argue movies all the time, it is amazing how opinions differ. One guy actually swears that Scooby-Doo is an unappreciated classic. I thought Signs was just terrible, it brought others to tears. And every single person looks at me funny when I tell them I liked Thin Red Line .

I just saw Moulin Rouge once, the unintelligible part I'm thinking of was with those three guys (I think it was Latrec, Aubrey Beardsley, and ???) spying on Nicole Kidman and the Star Wars guy. My wife was like, "What the hell is going on here?", and I couldn't really tell her, with the rapid dialogue and silly sound effects and crazy editing. In fact, I'm getting that same headache thinking about it again...

I hated the first 30 minutes of Moulin Rouge and loved the rest of if.

The ending had me in tears. But that first 30 minutes was stupid. I almost turned it off. I'm glad I didn't because I really liked it.

I liked Moulin Rouge also. I thought it was different, and I loved the music. I couldn't believe that Ewan McGregor (Obi Wan Kenobi) could sing.
