Moulin Rouge.

[Poll #1096141]I have an interesting theory that some movies just evoke strong reactions in people. Positive and negative. I am curious as to your Moulin Rouge opinions. Please also feel free to go off in the comments.

Hm. I like it but I do not love it. The story *is* trite, but everyone in it sells it so well. And I love the way it looks, except when it's too much. And I love the singing, except when I don't.

Most importantly, it *tries*. And just as importantly, it takes itself seriously even in its excess. And I admire that, even if I don't *love* it. It's certainly a movies I would recommend to people, and that's saying something right there.

you know - just for the trying and the committment all of the players made to it - it would be a well loved movie on my shelf.
