come what may



when i heard about the movie moulin rouge way back, it didn't really interest me too much to watch it at the movie house. i saw moulin rouge back then on vcd (yes, there was a time vcd's were the "in" thing) and i was surprised because i thoroughly enjoyed it. in fact, saying i enjoyed it is an understatement - i loved it!

the love story, while tragic, was heartwarming. christian & satine's love for each other was so real that you can really feel it. nicole kidman & ewan mcgregor were perfect actors for the movie (i wanted nicole kidman to win an oscar for this movie so badly). the songs from the movie were awesome. nicole & ewan singing a few of the songs were pretty decent. i think the theme song from this movie "come what may" is one of the best love songs i have heard - the lyrics were great. there are a few other songs i liked, elephant love medley & ewan mcgregor singing "your song" with alejandro safina was fantastic.

moulin rouge is indeed a cinematic experience. it is a film i think i will always enjoy watching ten years from now. if you haven't seen it yet, you should watch it because i think it is one of the best musical films i have seen.
