God-awful
As a movie enthusiast I never thought I could despise a movie, until Moulin Rouge.
shareIf you despised the movie, then blame your own close-mindedness, not the movie. Your statement says far more about you.
shareWhat a stupid comment. He has a different opinion to yours, so therefore he is closed minded? Are people not allowed to dislike crappy movies just because you love them?
And for the record, your statement says far more about what a narrow minded stupid person you are.
I simply am not there...
Very few movies are really crappy. This one is most probably not. It is well shot and has a great cast. It's not a uwe boll movie nor has it Kristen Stewart in it.
To not like it doesn't make it a crap movie in general.

He absolutely has the right to dislike or hate the movie, but "could not despise it more"? I would have thought he was an idiot if he used that term for any movie at all.
For a movie enthusiast, he seems to maybe watched 10 movies in his entire life if Moulin Rouge is at the very bottom.
Perhaps calling the OP closed minded was perhaps not the most accurate, but creating a thread saying "worst movie ever" without providing any explanation as to why is rather useless. Why even bother?
Oh and last but not least, this is my signature.
Sometimes, films, books and other things of that nature just go over people's heads. Moulin Rouge is out of the box. Most people don't seem to like 'different'. I feel it's a cult classic. Amazing music! And I a sucker for love stories (especially if they have music). And this is coming from someone who has pink, purple and blue hair so....needless to say I appreciate different.
shareYou're super edgy, just felt I needed to remind you. SUPER egdy

You are absolutely right! The person who created the thread has a terrible taste in movies.
shareI couldn't disagree more. It's really an insult to anyone with taste or standards. I'm 58 years old and have spent most of my life cheering one form of music or another, from the Dead, Uriah Heep, J. Geils, and Hot Tuna to Stanley Clarke, Charles Mingus, Ella Fitzgerald, to my recent season tickets to the Philharmonic (Prokofiev, Sibelius, Holst), to Glass, Ligetti,and more modern fare. So I'm not close-minded. And this movie sucks. Basically, it attempts to make modern pop into something that it is not - music of emotional depth or significance.
shareperhaps not closed-minded. more of a snob. listing a bunch of things you like so as to justify your dislike of something is somewhat pedantic. you like mingus, ella, and the symphony, etc. yay for you.
this movie is unconventional. it jumps off the screen like nothing that has come before it. it draws on so many inspirations and reworks them all into something bold and daring.
i saw this movie for the first time on the big screen during the initial run. it was wondrous.
i look forward to seeing the spectacular film you are working on that is better than this.
It seems like a fairy tale Anomaly. Reduced realism makes its vigorous emphasis on music, dialogues, costume, Visual effect, storyline, but nothing seems to catch the Silhouette of a satisfied 2 hours running film except Costume and performance (Dance). Well really awful.
shareAgreed. Frenetic editing that does not allow your eyes to focus, music that does not match the story line, a thin small plot with superficial characters and a look of collected MTV videos spliced together randomly.
It may be an interesting movie to dissect for a film making course but as entertainment it was annoying to sit through.

I guess this is just one of those movies which doesn't resonate with many people. But those that love it, LOVE it. The frantic editing is one of my favorite parts of this movie. It is just a visual spectacle . I remember my mom saying "Why would they use songs that didn't even exist back then?" and I said "Why would people break out into song?" None of this is supposed to be "real", it is a musical.
It is supposed to be over the top and if you pay attention, even the sets (not the ones that are about the play) specifically LOOK like the are a play. This is a movie that takes us out of reality and into a world that is a play about a play, but in doing so also excuses realism.
Normally, I require a realistic view or it feels like a cartoon. This movie definitely feels like a cartoon in its fast editing and over-the-top plot and acting. But when reality is clearly not expected (use of modern songs, overacting, sets that look like a stage etc), I think it actually is an interesting artistic decision.
Why are musicals so commonly the movies that I read worst movie ever about. Just a thought?
What mattered to me in this movie is that the love story between Christian and Satine mattered to me. If I didn't care about them then I wouldn't care about the movie. I love the performances. I love the music whether it fits or not. Judging by the quite high rating that many more people loved this movie than hated it to offset the IMO ridiculous people giving it a one.

This video sums up perfectly why this movie sucks.

I thought I was the only one. This movie's elaborate visuals and brainless plot is comparable to a gift wrapped turd. Decent to look at, but for anyone wanting a real movie this one is just empty. It's sad really, because it had potential, but it's just an art house directors wet dream.
