Moulin Rouge.
You know, I'm not even going to find a synopsis for this one, I am just going to admit I stone cold hated Moulin Rouge the first time I saw it. I remember sitting in the theater, trying to talk my brain into giving it a chance and my brain sitting there with its arms folding going "Nuh-uh. Don't like it."
I think what I hated most at the time was the use of modern music. I had forgotten they used original material as well and that material was much stronger, but I get ahead of myself.
We sat down to give this another go and, initially, I was a bit charmed. I really liked the bits where he was trying to remake Cabaret. The early conversation was breezy and fun:
But, as time went on...
And on...
Needless to say, we did not finish it and I still hate this movie.
