A messy love

When I watched it, I always thought of La Traviata, and the cliché of the plot made people have to recall this stunning work. The same glamorous prostitutes and ordinary young people also touched the indifferent heart of the prostitute with love, the same prostitute hurt him because of love, the same young man took money to insult her after misunderstanding, and finally, in the same way, the rosy face died of illness.



But there are also different places. When I read "La Traviata", I always feel the nobility of love and the misery of the lover. People can't bear to cry while reading it. It is coherent, natural, delicate and vivid; and "Moulin Rouge", After a moment of moving and regret, there are deeper contradictions and doubts. The confusions entangled in my heart and I have never reached the emotional climax of the film.



First of all, I don't quite understand their love. He just sang a song and danced a dance with her because of a misunderstanding. Because of her beauty, he fell in love with her, so he talked with her about the beauty of "love" in the name of the most lofty, so that he had never experienced love before. The dancing girl has a longing heart and promises with her body. What is the difference in his love?



Armand in La Traviata, admiring her beauty and talent, saw Marguerite who was sick and coughing in tears, and visited every day, which moved Marguerite, and then took her to Paris. , Do everything possible to pay her debts, to accommodate her, a little bit to get rid of her bad habits.



As for Christian, he just said that he loves her. He has seen Sardani get sick several times during the show, but he has never found out her condition. He possesses "sublime love", but he will still be jealous. He desperately wants to get her, and moves her with singing when she wants to give up, but never considers the consequences of her.



Sardani allowed him to realize his dream of script writing. What did he do for her? He never considered her or their future. He just loved it with confidence, without responsibility and effort.



But maybe this is the poet?



A reckless poet who only understands ideals and ignores the real world.



It's just that he has exactly the passion of love she desires most.



Perhaps their love was doomed to tragedy from the beginning.



*****





There are many songs in the film, and some of them have the style of mixing and matching famous songs, which gives people quite a sense of surprise. For example, when I heard Nirvana at the beginning, the whole person felt confused. The director used singing and dancing in almost every turning point of the plot, and his technique was quite exaggerated fantasyism, and there were a lot of computer-made, jumping, and close-up shots. I understand that the director wants to create an atmosphere of singing and dancing or the power of love.



But frankly speaking, it’s a bit too much for me. Too many and modern shots give people a sense of unreality. There are many similarities in genre. It is also a little flimsy to always use a song to make a dancer complete such a big change in concept. , The plot seems a little jumpy, the priority is unknown.



What makes me depressed is that every time Nicole is touched by a song, her facial expressions and postures are the same. I expected that there will be more levels...

But the message that the film wants to express is clear enough, and the whole article is tightly bound. With the theme of "Going to Love", the plot typed at the beginning and the end completes the structure of the whole film, and the strongest sound of Love will live forever is also uttered at the end.



Love is always the oldest and most talkative theme.



Regarding love, the duke and "chocolate" actually impressed me a lot. In all fairness, the Duke also loves Sardani and is willing to pay for her. He believes in her again and again, but because of her identity, which is quite powerful and deceptive, and the explicit possessiveness, people can't help but feel resentful. Of course, it was absolutely wrong that he wanted to kill Sebastian later, but as the play says, jealousy drives people crazy, and so does the poet. Judging people's right or wrong is originally the most difficult thing.



There is also the black "chocolate", who just saves Sebastian regardless of his life, comforts him when he is broken in love, wakes him up, and blindly wants them to reconcile. Is this another kind of love? Does he also have love for Sardani?



It's just that no one will pay attention to these problems, no one will think of him.





*****Ca



n't help but want to talk about the two leading actors.



I have always liked Nicole, a typical traditional beauty with blond hair, blue eyes and white skin. The divorce between her and Tom Cruise made me feel bad for a long time. In "Moulin Rouge", her performance is amazing enough, with a graceful posture and a pair of beautiful eyes, she is full of charm and brilliance. She likes her helplessness and toughness towards Harold most after the love affair is revealed, and her acting is very natural and true. After that, it seemed that there were always tears, which made people feel distressed.



Ivan was shocked, and when he opened his voice, everything around him calmed down. His voice was soft, affectionate and powerful, and his voice was gentle and long. Nicole's voice was also good, but it was a bit worse than Ivan.



*****



I don't like this kind of plot and some expressions very much, but skip these, don't go into the details, the general taste is still coming out. ——Fortunately, there are two shining protagonists in a passionate performance, but fortunately, there is a pursuit of love that never fades.

    It's an old bridge to die well on the stage, and Baz Luhrmann's "collage" musical can package this bridge so moving, and it's a must.

    "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love and be loved in return."
