Disappointing so thoroughly

I have heard of this film a long time ago. It is Nicole's masterpiece, and it is a classic and so on.
I watched it today and I have to say that this film is really unattainable.
First of all, the exaggerated stage performance makes people feel very contrived. This kind of comical-like thing is more disgusting than "Les Miserables". The overall gloomy environment can be funny, which makes people very uncomfortable.
Secondly, the song itself is not contagious. Both the melody and the lyrics are so pale and weak. As soon as the protagonist starts with a few shit words, he is praised as a genius, inexplicably.
Third, the fantasy love of literary youth is disgusting. The pen is used to commit sexual obscenities, and the down-and-out young people in literary and artistic works can always get the heart of the goddess and win the love that transcends worldly money. Really bullshit.

    When I watched When Nietzsche Wept, I was aiming at the starmovie, which was just what I wanted~

    Very good musical. Although the storyline is relatively old-fashioned, Ivan McGregor’s voice is too attractive. Nicole Kidman’s performance is not bad, but the singing is relatively flat and there is no highlight.

Moulin Rouge! quotes

  • Satine: A little supper? Maybe some champagne?

    Christian: I'd rather, um, just get it over and done with.

    Satine: Hmph. Oh. Very well. Then why don't you come down here and let's get it over and done with.

    Christian: I prefer to do it standing.

    Satine: Oh.

    [starts to stand]

    Christian: You don't have to stand, I mean. It's sometimes that... It's quite long and I'd like you to be comfortable. It's quite modern what I do and it may feel a little strange at first, but I think, if you're open, then you might enjoy it.

  • Satine: I'm sure I will...
