Moulin Rouge

[FrodoFriend]

I couldn't find a thread on this, so I'm starting one. Sorry if it's redundant.

We just got the DVD and I think I'm in love! (for the umteenth time) What a fantastic movie! The style was beautiful and it was extremely creative . . . and man, can Ewan McGregor sing!!

So anyone else seen Moulin Rouge?

[Khamûl]

Nope. Haven't seen it. Probably should, but I haven't yet. Might have time to watch it now that school's out. It had better be good, since it beat Fellowship of the Rings out of an Oscar.

[olsonm]

Not yet but I plan to! I hear it's good.:)

[StrawberryIcecream]

AAAAAAAAAAAAA!

AM LIKE THE BIGGEST MOULIN ROUGE FAN!!!

Listen to soundtrack at least once everday and know almost every word! (even to the french one!)

anyway. It makes me cry soooo much (unless someone else is watching it cos im normally to busy watching how much they cry!)

I can recite the whole of the elephant love song medley with my friend and we always used to get told of for singing Come What May tooloud!!

Did you ever see it in the cinema?
I went into such hysterics that my friend actually had to start shaking me in an atempt to stop me! She didnt succeed!

Am listening to the soundtrack right now actually!


'Until the end of time
Come what may
Cooomee whatt mayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
IIIIIIIIII wil love you until my dying day!!!
Oh come what may!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wil love you (i will love you)
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place.
Come what may!!!!!!'

Oh goodness. I think im going to cry!:( Im not joking. Im actually crying now. not just cyber crying. Im actually crying!

[eowyn144]

number 2 moulin rouge fan here!!!
oh how i cried in that cinema!!!! it the first film that made me cry ever! (second only to The War)
i have the sound track, have nicked strawberry's video several times and LOVE ewan!!!!how georgous does he look in that hat!!!(minus the beard of course)
and how talented are ewan and nicole? i mean wow!to sing all of those songs, most of them live-ish and to act/dance at the same time!
and some of nicoles outfits were just georgous!

[BeardofPants]

Yeah, it WAS pretty good. Silly me, I didn't go see it at the theaters cos I thought it was a chick flick. :rolleyes:

[Faramir]

"BECAUSE WE CAN CAN CAN!!!" Oh, sorry I'm listenibg to it right now.:o :D I LOVE the soundtrack! I haven't seen the movie yet though. I'll have to soon. and some of nicoles outfits were just gorgous! Those looked gross! Everythibg was like see through and she's like practically nude! But Ewan and Nicole ARE very good singers...
E:All you need is love!
N:A girl has got to eat!
E:All you need is love!
N:She'll end up on the streets!
E:All you need is loooove...
N:Loveis just a game!
E:I was meant for lovin' you baby, you was meant for lovin' me!
:D :D :D

[Elfmaster XK]

So, would you recommend watching it then?:D We have the DVD somewhere but i haven't watched it.

[Faramir]

Like I said, Haven't seen it yet. But my mom liked it a lot. You should try it.

[StrawberryIcecream]

I think eowyn144 and I are officialy the biggest moulin rouger fans ever! We actually performed the whole of the elephant love song medley in the middle of a field to one of my friends!

I actually nearly started crying today again because we all had a good sing of your song!:(

I reallythink Roxanne isthe most powerful song though.Its sooo dramatic with ewan singing on top as well!

[eowyn144]

definetly try it, it's little bit mad, just like you, so i'm sure you'lll love it;)

and her outfits are not gross! the red dress was wonderful and i'd love to be able to look that good in the black lacy number.

[StrawberryIcecream]

We can only dream eowyn!
I think i'll make that my life aim.To look good in one of those dresses. actuallymight have to make the aim rob banks to afford one of those dress's

Tell you what though, everytime i cough i always look down to see if i've couged up blood!

[Faramir]

O.K., let's talk about the songs! Here are the songs in the order from my opinion of best to least:

1. Diamond Dogs
2. Because We Can
3. Your Song
4. Come What May
5. Elephant Love Medley
6. Children of the Revolution
7. El Tango de Roxanne
8. Nature Boy (both of them)
9. Hindi Sad Diamonds
10. Complainte De Butte
11. Hindi Sad Diamonds
12. Sparkling Diamonds
13. Lady Marmalade
14. Rythm of the Night

Can everyone else do this too? Please? I'll be happy if you do!

[crickhollow]

I think it was a great step to incorporate the most famous love songs of all time. I mean, McGregor's character was supposed to be a great writer. How could the screenwriters come up with original stuff that wasn't cheesy? Instead, they were able to laugh at themselves.

I loved Roxanne too. I think it was my favorite song. Did anyone notice the symbolism in the lighting? McGregor was under a normal light most of the time, while Nicole was in a pale blue light. Then, at the end, maybe for the final twenty minutes, McGregor was also under the blue light...draw your own conclusions. You've probably all seen it more often than I have.

[Faeirex]

Ok, well, I've seen Moulin Rouge 5 times, once in the cinema and four times on DVD/video. And two of those were in the same week.

I too can do the entire Elephant Love Medley, and when I got bored in my Tech lesson I'm ashamed to say I spent the whole time singing Your Song and ELM under my breath. [defensively] Well, it was VERY boring.

Unlike you people though, I've never cried at it. Not once. Please don't have me killed or anything, but whenever I watch it and Satine's dying, I try to work myself up to cry, and then Christian starts sobbing like a woman. I do not joke.
And then I always start giggling.

Also, am I the only person (correction, one of 2 ppl) who think that when Christian sings the ELM, he looks like a bad Elvis impersonator?

Don't get me wrong, I adore the movie. It's hysterically funny, and the songs are AMAZING. Don't you dare mock them.
Hmmm Faramir. Lets see. Bear in mind this is from the soundtrack, cos they're different on the movie.

1.Rhythm of the Night [why did you put this at the bottom? On the soundtrack at least, it rules.]
2.Your Song
3.ELM
4.Lady Marmalade (can't decide what order I want these 3 to go in. They're all amazing)
5.El Tango de Roxanne
6.Come What May
7. I know I'm going from the soundtrack, but from the movie The Show Must Go On comes here
8.Sparkling Diamonds
9. Like a Virgin (movie again)
10.Because we Can
11.The Pitch (Spectacular Spectacular)
12.Children of the Revolution
13.Diamond Dogs
14.Hindi Sad Diamonds
15.Complainte de la Butte
16.Nature Boy (always skip it)

I think I've got all, or at least most of them here. Amd they're vaguely in order, but I can't really be sure. Rhythm of the Night is just the best! It's so great for dancing to!

I wonder if you can tell anything about someone's personality from the order of this. Faramir? Strawberry? Others who I can't remember the name of? Any thoughts?

[Faramir]

Eowyn144, where did you get your avatar from TTT? I've been trying to find one with Faramir...

[eowyn144]

you'd have to ask Aldesign. he made it for me and i'm sure he make you one if you asked nicely :)

[FrodoFriend]

Yesss!! Other Moulin fans!! We just got the DVD and I've now watched it five times in as many days.

I couldn't possibly rank the songs, they're all so good. I agree about Roxanne being the most powerful part though, and I love Your Song and the Elephant Love Medley. Ewan is hot! His smile is so cute (awwww...) and he has a gorgeous voice. I was amazed the first time he sang.

[Starr Polish]

I saw it in the 'budget theater' the first time, and was about blown away when Ewan started singing.

Roxanne is an amazing song. I had a CD with that and "Come What May" on it, and used to sing them both really, really loud in the shower. I can even sing the harmonies in "Come What May". Hehe. Choir buff.

I have to sing parts of "Roxanne" an octave higher though, not having a male voice.

[Lady of Darkness]

Everyone I meet(almost) and who has seen Moulin Rouge says I would be a good Satine. pulease!! I only have the voice. The soundtrack is to die for.
Come what May!
Come what may!
And Iwill love you, until my dieing day!
That's my fav. song.
whoever says Movie Stars can't sing watch this movie.
I heard that on reason Tom Cruise broke up w/ Nicole Kidman is b/c Tom can't sing and he wanted Nicole to only play Satine if he Could be Cristian. Jerk!!
LOD HEHEHEHEHEHEHE
being a soprano 1, I have to sing everything except Satine's lines higher.
Whoever hates Moulin Rouge should Die!!(just joking)(i'm more likely to get TB b/c I work with horses scary!) (anyone know what track it is when Cristian and co first get to the Moulin Rouge?)
LOD

[StrawberryIcecream]

edit that! somepeople havent seen it and youve just spoilt the ending!

[Faeirex]

How can she spoil the ending? Christian's opening (or almost opening, can't remember) lines are "The woman I love is...dead!"

It's kind of a giveaway.

~Fae

[Lady of Darkness]

Oh great StrawberryIcecream, I have complied with your wishes. And now I have one of my own:
I don't like people touching my stuff!!!(weasel-face Duke)
And by the way, Listen to Faeirex!:p LOL
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE
LOD

[IronParrot]

Your Moulin Rouge obsession pales in comparison to mine. :p

Truth! Beauty! Freedom! and above all things... LOVE

Check out this Moulin Rouge (sort of) wallpaper I created... (http://ironparrot.dhs.org/pics/moulin-clones1024.jpg)

The first soundtrack really doesn't do justice to the music in the movie. Too many crummy remixes and alternate versions of songs, and almost nothing from Craig Armstrong's score. The second release was far better.

// unconscious Argentinian falls through the roof

[Faramir]

Why'd you use a black filled in Star Wars Picture?:confused:

[StrawberryIcecream]

excuse me?EXCUSE ME?
pales in comparison to yours?

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrr.
AARGH! MY EYES! STAR WARS! MIXED WITH MOULIN ROUGE!
HOW COLD YOU COMBINE THE TWO HO COULD YOU?!!!! *runs off crying*


and you know she dies,not when she dies or how.

[FrodoFriend]

Hmm, I rather like it, IronParrot. :)

I love the unconscious Argentinean! So funny. Moulin Rouge: laugh at the beginning, cry at the end, sing the whole way through. Marvellous! I actually like Your Song better than Come What May. I love how Satine is rolling on the ground having fit and then she just stops when Christian starts singing. Elephant Love Medley's the best though. And Roxanne. Hell, it's all so good!

[Lady of Darkness]

Excuse me??!! EXCUSE ME??????!!!!!!!! did you actually say that you like Your Song better than Come What May???!!! You haven't listened to the soundtrack then. oh well! *shrugs* difference in oppinion. I like most of the songs except for #15, the remix thingamajigger. Your song is really good. So is Roxanne
Your Song:
My gift is my song. and this one's for you. and youi can tell everybody that this is your song.
Come What MAY:
seasons may change winter to spring, but I love you until the end of time.
So, listen to them again and then tell me that you can't like Come What May the best. If you could dediate one song to someone off this Soundtrack, what song would it be and who would it goto.
I would give Come What May to my Grandmother(died of Cancer 3 days after my b-day 5 or 6 yrs ago) and Your Song to My best bud. She's going through a tough time in her life right now. her fav. song is Roxanne.
LOD

[FrodoFriend]

I don't have the soundtrack, just the DVD.

I still think Your Song is better. The melody is just nicer. :)

[Starr Polish]

Your Song does have a nice melody, but oh, the harmony and blend in Come What May...blows me away...yeah, yeah, it rhymed.

[Lady of Darkness]

Your song---**************************
Come what may----***************************
Love 'em both, stop. end of discussion, stop. agree w/ Starr Polish.
HEHEHEHEHEHEHE
Suggestion, get the soundtrack. they need all the songs on there, not just the major ones.Seriously(HEHEHEHEHHEHE)
HEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHE
LOD

[Starr Polish]

And I actually LIKE nature boy! It's nice when I want to write something angsty ;) :D

[Lady of Darkness]

nature boy? what on earth is nature boy?????LOD is confustered. even if I did know(which I doubt I do) I am to tired to figure it out.:D :D :D :D :D :D
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHE
LOD

[IronParrot]

I just watched the film again today for the fifth or sixth time, on my DVD. (You'd have to be positively nuts not to watch this movie on widescreen...)

My school is putting on a stage production of Moulin Rouge! tomorrow... it promises to be great. Among other things, a girl I used to have quite a thing for is playing Satine.

[StrawberryIcecream]

It shall never live up to the real thing i fear.

Nature Biy id David Bowie'scontribution to Moulin Rouge. The song played right at the start and the end:

'there was a boy....a very strange enchanted boy.....' you know now?

anyway. just finished listening to the soundtrack again. dont know how people dontlike diamond dogs!

[Lady of Darkness]

AHHHH! thank you for enlightening me on the subject of Nature Boy. I now know what it is. I totally agree w/ you on the subject of Diamond Dogs. Does anyone know what the track is that has Zindler singing: OUtside it may be raining, but inside it's entertaining
Everyone: here we are now, entertain us!
etc.?????:confused: :confused: :confused:
HEHEHEHEHEHE
LOD

[Starr Polish]

That would be "The Show Must Go On", and it's on the second disc.

A SCHOOL DOING MOULIN ROUGE? I would LOVE to do that, but we won't...darn conservatives :D

[Lady of Darkness]

There is two soundtrack CDs? oh great! now I have to go out and actually buy it!*whistles innocently*:D :D Anyway does it look like the first one?
LOD
Whoops
HEHEHEHEHEHEHE
LOD

[Starr Polish]

Uhmm..I'm not sure, I got it from the local library.

I think it looks like it, but the actual CD has a big red 2 on it.

[StrawberryIcecream]

there are two cd's. but I have only seen the second one in the collectors edition set. with the first one as well.

[IronParrot]

Yeah, the first one had too much promotional soundtracky stuff and not enough of the juicy content from within the film itself. The best solution is to take the best parts of both discs and burn them onto one... :p

[Elfmaster XK]

I watch moulin rouge yesterday.

Goddamn you ppl! Why did no one say that it was a sad film!

[Starr Polish]

We did so! There are hints all over this thread!
It's such a cliche-y movie, but I still love it. Masterpiece...

[BeardofPants]

Poor XK. Were ya too dim to pick up on the blatant hints earlier on in the thread? :p Glad you finally watched it - awesome movie, eh?

[Elfmaster XK]

I didn't read a lot of the earlier things-i skimmed them and asked if it were worht watching- because i hadn't watched the movie and didn't want to spoil it! So don't you accuse me of being a dense elf BoP!!!

[BeardofPants]

I didn't call you dense, I called you dim. :p

[Elfmaster XK]

So bite me!:mad:

[Lady of Darkness]

yo people! let's get back on the REAL TOPIC OF THIS THREAD!!!!!
iyiyi!!!
anyway!
Everytime I watch this movie, I cry. I also Laugh my head off. it's an awesome movie!!!!!!!!!!!
LoD

[StrawberryIcecream]

im always crying but all myfriends go into hysterics when he lets out that big sob that sounds like hes laughing right at the end. ever so off putting.

[eowyn144]

not all of your friends! unless you're inferring i'm not your friend nemore? awww.poor me.
ahem
i don't augh at that bit. i've never seen why people think it's so funny. its the saddest moment of the whole film!:(

[Lady of Darkness]

I agree especially when i realize that alot of times TB could have been prevented through more sanitary living conditions
grrrr
LoD

[Hanza]

Moulin rouge is my fav film of all time. I have watched it as many times as you have eaten chips. i absoulutely love it. i cry every time and once watched it 4 times in 2 days!:)
I know nearly all the words to every song on the first soundtrack. My friends love it too. We can do the ELM and ur song and come what may. i also lov Sparling diamonds and One day i'll fly away.
I CANT BELIEVE I DIDNT FIND THIS THREAD BEFORE!!!!!!:D :D :D

[IronParrot]

It's especially baffling that Moulin Rouge! and The Fellowship of the Ring, two of my favourite films of the perhaps hundreds I've watched, were both released in the same year... and neither won Best Picture.

[Blackboar]

I loved Moulin Rouge!!!!!!!!

It was a bit weird though!:D

[Miranda]

Oh Moulin Rouge- where to begin!!!? Its amazing. Being a poet and a dancer I'm very Bohemian myself and it was nice to see a) a film and b) a musical bringing that msg across so well. My friends and I adore it and always cry- nearly as much as we do in LOTR! It was a combination of Moulin and LOTR that prompted a fan fic very well known by my friends- THE PRECIOUSSSSS! Mx

[Millane]

meh i watched it i thought meh..
but your song is a pretty good song, i personally thought it could have used a bit of Cold Chisel, Ewen McGregor was good in it but he was better in Trainspotting...
whos that little gimpy bloke (he was in Romeo and Juliet aswell)???
i watched Croc Dundee today and what can i say NOW THOSE ARE MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but once again Moulin Rouge meh

[Lalaith]

I know the discussion in here stopped some time ago, but I have to say that I love Moulin Rouge.

We just got the DVD and I think I'm in love! (for the umteenth time) What a fantastic movie! The style was beautiful and it was extremely creative . . . and man, can Ewan McGregor sing!!

Yeah, exactly. I watched it in the cinema, but wasn't that impressed. But when I bought the DVD I really go obsessed with it.
And guess what, my mum brought me a real Moulin Rouge poster from Paris. It's so cool.

Okay, can you say "Lady of Darkness is a little OBSESSED with Moulin Rouge"? :D :D :D
my job here is done
*bows out*
LoD, the insanly obsessie of Moulin Rouge

[Lalaith]

I'm proud of beeing obsessed with Moulin Rouge. Watched it like 20 times (I have the DVD since April 2002).

[Lady of Darkness]

I have watched it about 3 gazillion times and each time I hope that Satine doesn't die! but it is never going to go my way, huh??? Hopefully I can go to France sometime and go to the actual Moulin Rouge.... That'd be soooo COOOOOLLLL!!
LoD

[Lalaith]

have watched it about 3 gazillion times and each time I hope that Satine doesn't die! but it is never going to go my way, huh???

Just like me. They are such a cute couple.

[Lady of Darkness]

I know!!!
*sobs uncontrolably*
I love that movie
It's so romantic and beautiful and sad, just like horses and killing orcs....*stares off into space*
LoD

[Lalaith]

And you can sing each and every song.

[Lady of Darkness]

oh ya!
bwahahahahhahahahahaha
I will sing every song for the rest of my life!!!!
BWAHAHAHAHHAHA
must go kill some orcs...
oh yea....

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
DEATH TO ORCS AND ALL WHO DON'T LOVE MOULIN ROUGE!
LoD

[Lalaith]

Let's ask Legolas to fight with us against Ziddler *gg* I think he would be the perfect elf in Moulin Rouge. What do you think?

[Lady of Darkness]

one word: aiya
OMG!
I HAVE THE BEST IDEA!!!!!!!
A LOTR AND MOULIN ROUGE STORY MIXED TOGETHER!!!
OMG! THAT WOULD BE SOOOOO AWESOME!!!!
you wanna write it together?
:D :D :D
LoD
YES! SHE IS EVIL! GO HER!

[Lalaith]

Yeah, surely. Let's start me.

If you ask me, I would have wanted EwanMcGregor to be in LotR. hhhm, which character? Prince Imrahil I'd say.

[Lady of Darkness]

lol.
I agree. They need another hot guy in that movie :D :D :D :D :D
I'm still pissed because Nicole Kidman didn't get best actress for Moulin Rouge and she soooooo deserved it! GRRRR dumbass people!!!! DIE DIE DIE DIE!!
okay, back onto the subject. how about Moulin Rouge in the LOTR setting?
we might be able to post it on the Barrow Downs.....
LoD
weeeeeeee!!!! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's one of Lady of Darkness's arrows!

[IronParrot]

Lady of Darkness, I agree re: Kidman's performance being Oscar-worthy - it's one of my favourite performances in the musical genre, and I've seen a lot of musicals. However, I can't really comment on last year's Best Actress Oscar since I never ended up seeing Monster's Ball...

It's true, though, that musicals are often the genre that is most demanding of the actors involved.

[Lady of Darkness]

the really annoying thing is that she sounds GOOD singing, while alot of actors DON'T! I mean, she has a GORGEOUS voice. I mean, I sing also, and like everyone I know sings, and they all say that she has a beautiful voice. dude, someone should smack some people upside their heads!! now if I can find my bow and sword, maybe we can fix the evilness of the world.....
LoD
grrrr*seethes*

[IronParrot]

No, fixing the evil in the world cannot be done through bows and swords. It has to be done through song.

[Lalaith]

Actually Nicole Kidman was in the charts here in Austria. With "something stupid".

Imlandris is alive with the sound of music!

[Lady of Darkness]

hmmmm.... how about w/ ATC's Around the World?
kool song...
and Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor's Come What May... I love that song......
and Spectacular Spectacular......
WEEEEEEEE
LoD
I NEED MOULIN ROUGE!!:D

[Lalaith]

Hey, Lady of Darkness, where do you come from?

Never seen Monster's Ball...Never heard anything about it either...

If you wonder, I asked you where you come frome because I thought the song Around the world from ATC is only known by Europeans.

[Lalaith]

Me again. Just got up and watched the last part of the Academy Awards (it's 6 a.m. here in Austria).
And, yes Nicole Kidman has won.
Damn Chicago, I wanted TTT to win (okay, I knew they had no chance, but still damn).

really? well, that doesn't seem true, considering the fact that they used to play it on Kiss 108 here in Boston all the time, and sometimes they still do.... Unless Boston Massachusetts is in Europe... lol ;)
LoD

[Lady of Darkness]

Yes, it is me again, sorry....
anyway, more songs....
The entire Evanesance CD...Love 'em!

[Orlando is hot]

I absoloutley love all musical tv shows and i must say that Moulin Rouge is one of the best i have eva see, just the costumes are so good, and i also love Chicagos costuumes!

Does anyone else like Chicago??
I rekon that Rennee Zelweggeer should have gotten best actress, who's with me???
apparently the movie ppl are into doing musicals now,they re gonna do a "Cats" one wif Kylie Minouge in it.
It'll b so good

:D :D :D

apparently the movie ppl are into doing musicals now,they re gonna do a "Cats" one wif Kylie Minouge in it.
It'll b so good

:D :D :D

Ahem, may I point out that this is MOULIN ROUGE thread.....and that Nicole Kidman FINALLY got best actress, something that she should have gotten last year for the loverly Moulin Rouge. that is my opinion, who is with ME??!! bwahahahahahah

I'm with you. Nicole Kidman should have won last year, but she won this year and now I feel fine.
MOULIN ROUGE MOULIN ROUGE MOULIN ROUGE

[Lady of Darkness]

Good. One Elf is with me. All we need to do now is convince the rest of the world that Moulin Rouge is an awesome movie (shouldn't take too long...just a few hundred years...short time. the hard part is just GETTING to the people...)
LoD

[Lalaith]

People will never understand what a good movie is. And that Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor are georgeous singers.

[Lady of Darkness]

in two ways...they are both beautiful....and they can SING! SCORE TWO FOR HUMANITY...lol

[Orlando is hot]

Hey Lady,
I was da one who made dis thread and if u read the first post it says that its also includes movie musicals, ie chicago and stage musicals as well so dont go dissin wott i said

Jess:p

[Lalaith]

Which thread did you make? Not this because this was started by FrodoFriend I think and it is only about our beloved Moulin Rouge.

And ... Lady of Darkness ... I think the two of us are the official Moulin Rouge fanclub.

[Satine]

fine den dont think bout uthas

[Belle]

I absolutely ADORE Moulin Rouge, I saw it so many times and cried my heart out. I love Sparkling Diamonds and play it so loudly in my car. It's an ace film because it appeals to every emotion... And I agree, Nicole Kidman should have one last year, I think she is an amazing actress and I think Renee Zellweger was so rough in Chicago it's unbelievable. Catherine Zeta jones was brill however and deserved her oscar. But I have Moulin Rouge 1 and 2, the collector's edition and I prefer the 2nd cd 'Come What May' version. It's more tingley.

[Lalaith]

I think Belle deserves to be considered to take her into the fanclub.

agreed. I always cry @ that scene..ummm no I don't *looks around shiftily*....the Lady of Darkness never cries...riggghhtttt..
anyway. I have found some people who don't love the movie. They must be converted. their names shall never be uttered in this sacred place. Lol..
LoD

[Lalaith]

It is soo touching when Satine dies. I watched it like a hundret times but I still cry.
Who are these Moulin Rouge not-likers?

[Lady of Darkness]

some of my friends....but hey! @ least they like LOTR....MOULIN ROUGE ROCKS!!!
LoD

[Lalaith]

I should ask Jonathan to join our club .... he likes Moulin Rouge and lately he has been in front of the real MR.

[Lady of Darkness]

We must get a ton of people in our club! bwahahahahahha!!!!
ummmm....about 3 of my friends can join, I pretty sure!

LoD

[Lalaith]

come here, my dear fans, come here!

[Lady of Darkness]

perhaps a new thread would help?

LoD

[Lalaith]

The Moulin Rouge fanclub?

[Lady of Darkness]

'Zacktly!

Me start NOW!.....I call it " The Moulin Rouge Fanclub"
how original!:D

LoD

[Lalaith]

Is it already online? Then I've got to search it.

[Jonathan]

I just saw Moulin Rouge for the second time. It sure is a good movie. I'll probably watch it again this evening.

[Lalaith]

Okay, Jonathan just remindet me of something I wanted to say: This thread is for all those who have seen the movie, wether they liked it or not, and want to talk about it.
(The other thread is more the FANATIC fans :D )

[Jonathan]

Yes, I know. That's why I posted in this thread. I don't see myself as a fanatic Moulin Rouge fan, at least not yet ;)

The fanatic fanclub is found in this thread (http://entmoot.tolkientrail.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8141), for all of you who didn't know.

[Lalaith]

I guess that we are more fanatic FanGIRLS. I have met no obsessed Moulin Rouge fanboy yet.

[Jonathan]

If I don't watch out, I could turn into the first :D

[Lalaith]

I wouldn't mind. And I guess the rest of the fangirls would welcome you as warm as I would.

[Jonathan]

I'll keep that in mind when I watch the film the next time and try to resist the temptation to sing along :D

[Lady of Darkness]

yes and all the non-fangirls would cry over the fact that they don't love the movie. we must CONVERT people! CONVERT! and I must start searching for the DVD player! My parents Hid it! agg!

Anyway...how about we go marching down the streets singing Moulin Rouge songs? ( or we don't and say we didn't...whatever floats your boat...)

LoD, the maniac

[Lalaith]

I never sing in publis, NEVER. But I chose to pretend to sing with only my lips closing and opening. Might sound strange to you, but I probably looks even stranger.
But of course I do that with Moulin Rouge songs.

I finally saw it. IMHO it was bloody brilliant !

[Lalaith]

I never liked musicals, but this is really amazing.

[Lady of Darkness]

Originally posted by Lalaith

Agreed.

LoD

[Jonathan]

Musicals can be great, they can even be greater than Moulin Rouge.

Lady of Darkness, I just can't figure out what 'LoD' means...

[Lalaith]

I guess it means Lady Of Darkness (LoD).

I don't remember any musical greater than Moulin Rouge.

[Jonathan]

LoD means Lady of Darkness, eh? I should have figured that out immediately. Gosh, I feel stupid...

I saw the musicals 'The Phantom of the Opera' and 'Les Misérables' when I was in London. I think both of them was better than Moulin Rouge. Please don't think less of me for saying this in the Moulin Rouge thread.

[Lalaith]

I want to see 'Les Misérables'. I love the song "On my own". Maybe it isn't that bad. But I never really liked "Hair".
But I love "Tanz der Vampire" (aka Dance of the Vampire), it's gorgeous.
we would never think less of you

[Jonathan]

I was going to see a 'Hair' preformance once, but I got tired of it in just a few minutes. Thinking of it, there are many musicals that I dislike. Moulin Rouge is one of the few musicals that I find good.

[Lalaith]

This whole singing and dancing thing seems so un-natural to me. It just doesn't seem real to me. (That's what I appreciate at (?) Moulin Rouge, the songs fit into the conversations)

[Jonathan]

Doesn't the song fit into the conversations in other musicals, then? At least it did in 'Les Misérables'.
I really recommend 'Les Misérables', Victor Hugo was a genius (he didn't write the songs to the musical, but whatever). Too bad I was quite young when I saw it, I can't remember the musical clearly. I have to see it again some time.

[Lady of Darkness]

wait a sec, are you talking about the movie (the one w/ Obi Wan's Jedi master dude)? or is there a musical I have no idea about?

LoD ( yes, It is Lady of Darkness. you should be proud :D lol)

[Jonathan]

When I mentioned The Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables, I was thinking of the musicals that are performed in London. But there are movies too.

No, I think they don't. It's simply unnatural to start singing during a conversation. would you start singing and dancing while talking to a friend. I guess he would laugh at you.

well, sometimes I do... but that friend starts doing it too...
usually we start dancing while we're singing w/ our group....but hey! it's all the same in my head.

by the way, what does all this have to do with Moulin Rouge ( or the price of peas in Persopolis for that matter...lol jk)

LoD
I want sleep

[Lalaith]

Have you ever spent 8 hours in a bus? That's horrible. Especially at knight. I guess we should discuss that in the Fanclub thread, not in the only Moulin Rouge tread.

You had to go there by bus? God. Why didn't you fly? (PS: would you mind posting the answer in the fanclub thread, this doesn't really belong here)

[Lady of Darkness]

did you have a discman or something? if you did, at least you had one. mine broke the NIGHT BEFORE I had to go on a trip...

LoD

[Starr Polish]

Yes, I did have a discman, and I listened to my burned CD with the Moulin Rouge music on it almost the entire time. That CD also got me through the first hard nights in Spain when I was coping with jet lag and some minor culture shock.

I went to Orlando, Florida in that bus. I think I made a thread about it awhile back (whoa, more than a year ago).

[Lalaith]

If you have some music, it's not so bad.
PS: Have you joined our fanclub?

[Lady of Darkness]

ya, IF you have music *seethes*
anyway, enough venting. oh come all ye Moulin Rouge faithful!
LoD

[Starr Polish]

No, I haven't joined the fan club, and I don't plan on doing so. Not really keen on cliques within cliques. The LOTR fandom (and my growing Cowboy Bebop obsession) is enough for me. I have, however, written a MR fanfic on fanfiction.net under the pen name Sangwaelen. Don't know if you would like it though.

he's already been in a trailer accident when he came from Texas to Mass. He's gonna be put down
poor Dal.....

LoD, sad

[Lalaith]

I feel really sorry for your horse (I think we should continue on that in the fanclub thread, it's a little off topic in here).

[Starr Polish]

I'm sorry about your horse :(.

It's kind of hard to describe without giving it away. It's basically stream of conciousness of Satine while she's dying. I use actual dialogue from the movie, and play with an idea. It's pretty short, but if you read it, make sure you read the author's note!

[Lady of Darkness]

ummm...he's not my horse....i've just grown up with him
okay, can do

Honestly? I like the actors and actresses just perfectly...I think they work awesomely. what about you?

and even continuing this... what would you like to change about it if you had to change it?

my answer: Satine dieing and the duke and the person who tells the duke about Satin and Christian. duke should die. the person who tells should die. it should be happily enver after. then we can have warm fuzzy feelings all the time!!! yay!!!:D

mine would SOOO be when Christian starts singing "come what may" to Satine. either that or the spectacular spectacular song or elephant love melody

Take your scanner to the shrink :D
I'll try and bring my scanner to another computer to see if I can get it to work. It doesn't seem to be compatible with my operative system.

LoD

[Lalaith]

I have it in German. It's really stupid. (would be stupid in spanish too). I mean they talk german and then suddenly they start singing in english. Really weird.

[Jonathan]

Thank God there is no Swedish version where the characters speak Swedish. I can't imagine how stupid that would sounds and look.
It's good that the Swedes rely on subtitles, so that we can always hear the original language.

[Lalaith]

The switching between the languages was very strange in the cinema. but now that I have the DVD I watch it only in English. After seeing it about 1000 times I understand every little part of it.

[Lady of Darkness]

lol..... can't they put EVERYTHING into one language....geez.....I've now been disappointed.....

You don't know how horrible it would sound if the would sing the songs in German. I wouldn't want to see and hear that.

I always hates these Disney films which they dubbed completely. Horrible german songs. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.
Thank god they didn't do that with Moulin Rouge and thank god that Nicole and Ewan are such great singers.

Uh, I have some pics for you:

Doesn't that look like the house Christian lives in? In real life it is on the other site of the street too.

My mum would never have time for such a huge project. But my aunt used to make me clothes when I was younger. but I guess it's the red velvet that makes the whole dress so damn expensive.

ummm...I think a freeway is someplace that is free...no tolls ( i also think that it might just be another name for a highway or in face it's just a road that doesn't go to far....I DON"T KNOW>....I don't even drive....lol)

aiya..please enlighten me if you do find out...

LoD

[Lalaith]

God, where have you been the last days? I was already missing you. Oh, we should get back to topic.

Did they have electricity at the Moulin Rouge at 1900?

[Jonathan]

A freeway is a motorway.
A highway, I believe, is a big road with lots of traffic. So I guess you can say freeways are highways.
When I consulted a German dictionary (my Swedish dictionary was of no use), I saw that 'highway' could be translated to 'Landstraße'. That (should) mean 'country road'.
And we all know the German word for freeway; Autobahn :D


I think electricity came to Paris in the 1880's, so it's likely that they had electric power at the Moulin Rouge 20 years later. The Moulin Rouge was surely a modern place during its time.

Why do you know everything? That is really scary. :D
Thanks for the info.
Have you seen the extras on the Moulin Rouge DVD once?
They wanted to include in the story, that Zidler needed money because he had spent to much money on electricity. But then the movie would have been longer .....

actually, the Autobahn is technically translated "Motorway" or "superhighway". even though, freeway in German is also Schnellstraße. straße, as you guys prolly already know, is German for street.
Landstraße you are right about: it can mean country road, but it also can mean freeway, road or country lane. it is in fact feminine.
anything else you wanna know in german?
Ich habe Hunger ( I am hungry, technically translated I have hunger)

lalalalal

[Lalaith]

On my trip of watching old DVDs again, I should check out Moulin Rouge once more. :)

[Varda Oiolosseo]

I've seen Moulin Rouge but i didn't really like it.
It's wierd because i always imagined it to be my kinda film but i found it wierd and couldn't really get into it.

Hopefully if i watch it again i'll change my mind and end up loving it. :D :D

[Valaróma]

It was ok, but not really my kind of thing.
I also thought it would be my thing and I would really enjoy it but thought it was really kinda just weird.

[Lalaith]

I had that with American Beauty. When I first saw it I really hated it, then two years later it aired on television and I thought, let's give it another try, maybe I like it now ... and now I like it because it's just my kind of movie.
Just try it again.

[Varda Oiolosseo]

I will. :D :D
I love the soundtrack to it, so hopefully i'll like the film. :D
