Quote from: Phil MarloweI was being sarcastic.

I didn't like Moulin Rouge at all but I can see why people would consider it brilliant. Just thought it was annoying. Not trying to offend you.

I used to really love it but lately I've been wondering what I think of it. I guess I'm starting to get annoyed by it too. It's just so fucking cartoonish...it's hard to relate to it...and those slow motion shots of satine coughing are just laughably awful. All of the style is really isolating to me.

Moulin Rouge was the most obnoxious film I have ever seen.

I allways saw it as the really good movie i couldn't stand. The camera movements and the fast zooms that i really loved in romeo + juliet seemed annoying and itching.

And I HATED the medley songs.

I really think the film should end when the onscreen play ends - I think that would be amazing. Not having Satine die at the end, and leaving you with that moment of joy as the curtains close, villain vanquished, lovers reunited - you'd come out so happy... Then after a little while you'd remember what's going to happen to her and it would just be like, "fuck". I think that would be fantastic. But Nooo... they have to give us the obligatory death scene and the "Tell our story, Christian..."
"Should I bring my own chains?"
"We always do..."

Quote from: children with angelsI personally think that anything trying to ressurrect the Musical as genre is cool in my book too.

You obviously have not seen:

No he doesn't. Actually, the 'star' of the film is Christian Bale.

Why is it that the majority of discussion on this board seems to be people criticizing and complaining about movies rather than praising them? It seems that much of the discussion concentrates on the flaws (some of which are minor at best) of a film rather than what's good about it. I mean, I read some of the posts and I wonder why some of you even watch movies in the first place; you seem to hate everything about them. (no offense to anyone specifically)

I hardly ever post on something being just good. I only do it when I feel it is not getting due respect or I really really loved it. I think it is the seeds of discussion though, in order for it to continue people must disagree. It also looks silly when people just post on how good something is. I think arguments against are more interesting. It's just in my personality, where people in my own life are completely convinced I feed off of chaos.

Because for a 98%-male board, there's a disturbingly high amount of whining bitches.

Also, it's the internet.

Heihachi Hayashida: Well - It's impossible to kill 'em all, so I ususally run away.
