"Moulin Rouge" is like a rich and colorful oil painting, hidden in the ruins of the once drunk, telling the enthusiasm and restlessness of the past. At the beginning of the film, the gray-white and khaki-colored images are intertwined with a nostalgic atmosphere, instantly returning to the world full of sex, drugs, fanaticism and crazy cancan dance. But the Moulin Rouge at this time is more desolate and lonely than ever. People with innocent faces have indifference that has nothing to do with them. The story in the Moulin Rouge seems to have been immersed in a certain corner of time, but you can't see it stained with dust in the years, you can feel it, stretch out your hand but still can't touch the fragile as if illusory. The camera flew into the house and landed on the resentful man's face. Half yellow and half blue light in the room divides this narrow space into two worlds, one is called reality and the other is called nostalgia. The old typewriter, with tears on his face, all had a blue light. There is helplessness in the silence. In the mottled memory, the place full of feasting and feasting is still intimidating. In the opening chapter with yellow and blue as the keynote, there are sometimes bright colors full of collision. It seems that you cannot find truth, beauty, freedom and especially love in the gorgeous Moulin Rouge. But love, clearly came at the moment when Satine's silver dress slowly fluttered. The appearance of the heroine is also a highlight of the film's use of colors. The director used golden scattered flowers and cool white light to make the ace in the Moulin Rouge - the heroine Satine beautifully fall from the sky, making her even more prostitute at the moment. A nobility, so that the Moulin Rouge, which is full of red and green dresses, has a moment of silence. However, after a moment of tranquility, more fanaticism and pursuit, she is the darling of this flowery world. The first encounter between the hero and heroine is full of drama. On a certain night full of music and dancing, willing to surrender under the skirt of love, Christian sang a beautiful confession of love in a suit, and the picture instantly turned into a fairy tale world, with golden snow flakes sparkling, reflecting silver Moonlight, he and she were instantly hit by something called love. At this moment, the picture shows a cool tone, which is in sharp contrast with the splendor of the Moulin Rouge, but it is this rare color that makes love even more precious. However, happiness, happiness, infatuation, pain, sadness, despair, everything came too suddenly, and passed away in the next instant. People who have no time to wake up from their dreams can only see the desolation after prosperity, just like in a movie theater Had a big empty dream. At the end of the film, Satine, dressed in a white gauze dress, truly became a beautiful goddess and sang: I love you until... the end of time. The stage is full of splendor, and the sadness off the stage disappears in an instant. People who love each other should not drift away. The opera was successfully completed, and the curtain call was gorgeous in a splendid piece. But behind the curtain, the beautiful woman fell into the arms of her beloved, with colorful petals under her body. At this moment, the color disappeared, only a painful expression and unstoppable regret remained. At the end of the song, the crowd dispersed, the clown's face was funny and a little ridiculous, but who saw the clown's tears. Outside the curtain, there was a round of applause... When "The end" written on the yellowed manuscript disappeared with the picture, the story will end one day. But in the dream, there was a clear feeling, and it became a legend of immortality.
