FREEDOM! BEAUTY! TRUTH! LOVE!

It may not be the Best Picture Of The Year according to the "Academy" but it still has my vote!

I just found Moulin Rouge to be a wonderful movie about the power of love... and the power of music. Two things that I enjoy being a part of! :) The cast was well chosen, the music was extraordinarily orchestrated and the cinematography was breathtaking. Its Luhman's best work... but maybe thats mere opinion...

So perhaps a little rendition of what the story is about? I might as well tell you! But I won't give away the whole thing... that would be evil!

There Was a Boy
A very strange, enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far- very far
Over land and sea
A little child so sad and wild
And very wise was he
And then one day- one magic day he passed my way
And while he spoke of many things
Fools and kings...
This he said to me:
The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return!

We begin our experience flying over France in the year 1900 where we meet Christian in a shabby apartment. He is surrounded by empty bottles, crumpled papers and an air of pure depression. He informs us that "The Woman He Loved Is Dead"...
He begins typing the story and tells us that he met Satine, the courtesan from The Moulin Rouge night club, one year ago. So we flash back to a clean-shaven Christian arriving in Paris of 1899. Where he soon meets an unconscious Argentinian (who suffers from narcolepsy) and a dwarf dressed as a nun... You see, they are rehearsing a play and now that the Unconscious Argentinian can no longer stand, Christian joins their rehearsal...

Audrey: Please stick to a little decorative piano!
Narrative: There seemed to be artistic differences over Audrey's lyrics to Satty's songs.
Bohemian: I don't think a nun would say that about a hill
Satty: The hills are vital in toning the distance!
Toulousse: No no no... The hills quake and shake
Argentinian: The hills incandescent with symphony melodics...(collapses)
::Arguing ensues::
Christian: The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of Music!
Argentinian: The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of Music! I LOVE IT!
Bohemian: The hills are alive-
Toulousse: -with the sound-
Satty: -of music! It fits perfectly!
Christian: With songs they have sung for a thousand years!
Toulousse: Incandiferous! You two should write the show together!
Narrative: But Toulousse's suggestion that Audrey and I write the show together was not what Audrey wanted to hear...
Audrey: GOODBYE!
Toulousse: You can't fool us! You're the voice of the children of the revolution!
ALL: We can't be fooled!
Toulousse: Let's drink to you writing the world's first Bohemian revolution floor show!
Narrative: It was the perfect plan. I was to audition for Satine and taste my first glass of absynthe.
FAIRY: I'm the green fairy! The Hills Are Alive!
ALL: With The Sound Of Music!
Freedom Beauty Truth And Love!
FAIRY: The Hills Are Alive
ALL: You can't fool the children of the revolution!
FAIRY: With The Sound Of Music!
Narrative: We were off to the Moulin Rouge and I was to perform my poetry for Satine!

The song made popular by this movie was Lady Marmalade sung by Pink, Lil Kim, Mya and Christina Aguilera. These are the lyrics which can be heard during Christian's first visit to The Moulin Rouge.

Lil' Kim:
Where's all my soul sisters
Let me hear ya flow sisters

All:
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, flow sister
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister

Mya:
He met Marmalade down in old Moulin Rouge
Strutting her stuff on the street
She said,"Hello, hey Joe
You wanna give it a go?", oh

Chorus:
Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da (hey hey hey)
Gitchi gitchi ya ya hee (hee oh)
Mocca chocolata ya ya (ooh yeah)
Creole Lady Marmalade (ohh)
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir (oh oh)
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi (yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Pink:
He sat in her boudoir while she freshened up
Boy drank all that magnolia wine
On her black satin sheets
Is where he started to freak, yeah

Repeat Chorus

Lil' Kim:
Yeah, yeah, aw
He comes through with the money and the garter belts
Let 'em know we 'bout that cake, straight out the gate
We independent women, some mistake us for whores
I'm saying, why spend mine when I can spend yours
Disagree, well that's you and I'm sorry
I'm keep playing these cats out like Atari
Wear high heeled shoes, getting love from the Jews
Four bad ass chicks from the Moulin Rouge
Hey sisters, soul sisters
Betta get that dough sisters
We drink wine with diamonds in the glass
By the case, the meaning of expensive taste
We wanna gitchi gitchi ya ya (come on)
Mocca chocolata (what)
Creole Lady Marmalade

One more time, come on
Marmalade (ooh)
Lady Marmalade (ooh yeah)
Marmalade (ohh)

Christina:
Hey, hey, hey
Touch of her skin feeling silky smooth, oh
Colour of cafe au lait, all right
Made the savage beast inside
Roar until he cried

More, more, more

Pink:
Now he's back home doing nine to five (nine to five)

Mya:
Living a gray flannel life

Christina:
But when he turns off to sleep, memories creep

More, more, more

Repeat Chorus

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir (ce soir)
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi
Oh my sisters
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir (ce soir)
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi

Christian's writing talent becomes obvious to the Bohemian acting troupe and they decide to bring him to see Satine- the star performer in a floor show. So, inside the Moulin Rouge, we meet all forms of underworld oddities. Midgets, tattooed men, Republicans- you know the whole lot. Slowly but surely Satine's number arrives and every man in the club waits impatiently for her entrance. Christian sits with bating breath, directly across from The Duke.

The french are glad to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
and gives expensive jewels...

A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girls best friend
A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
on your humble flat or help you feed your office cat
Men grow cold as girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square-cut or pear-shaped, these rocks don't lose their shape!
Diamonds are a girls best friend!
Tiffany! Cartier!
Cause we are living in a material world and I am a material girl!
Come and get me, boys!
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
But diamonds are a girls best friend
There may come a time when a hot, boiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice
But get that ice or else no dice
He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend...
Diamonds are a girls best friend!
Cause thats when those louses go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girls best friend!

During this number, Harold Zidler- the owner of The Moulin Rouge- informs The Duke that Satine will see him immediately after the show. Toulousse informs Christian the same thing. After Satine is brought off stage, Christian is immediately smuggled into her dressing room and awaits her there. Thinking that Christian is actually a duke who would be willing to finance her career as an actress, Satine attempts seducing Christian (who thinks he is there for a simple poetry reading). As she barks and snarls and attempts to arouse him, Christian explodes with his poetic message.

My gift is my song!
And this one's for you
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
It may be quite simple, but, now that its done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world...
Sat on the roof and I kicked off the moss
Well some of these verses well they got me quite cross
But the sun's been kind while I wrote this song
Its for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Well the thing is, what I really love is:
Your eyes- the sweetest stars I've ever seen!
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but, now that its done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world...
Hope you don't mind- I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words...
How Wonderful Life Is... Now You're In The World!

After a magnificent sequence together, Satine exhaults that she has fallen in love with a duke! Christian corrects her- telling her that he is a writer. Satine is quite confused and tries to kick him out- but unfortunately the real Duke is at the door with Harold Zidler. Christian hides immediately as Satine attempts to compose herself sensually. But alas- Christian is caught and The Duke wants to know what is going on! Toulousse rushes in and explains they are merely rehearsing the new play that they hope The Duke has come to put money into!

DUKE: I need to know the story...
ZIDLER: Oh yes! The story... well the story... Toulousse?
TOULOUSSE: Oh well the story... its about... well its... its-
CHRISTIAN: Its about love!
DUKE: Love?
CHRISTIAN: Its about love overcoming all obstacles!
TOULOUSSE: And it set in Switzerland!
DUKE: Switzerland?
ZIDLER: Exotic Switzerland!
CHRISTIAN: India! India! Its set in India! And there's a courtesan. The most beautiful courtesan in all the world. But her kingdom is invaded by an evil Maharaja! Now in order to save her kingdom, she has to seduce the evil Maharaja! But on the night of the seduction, she mistakes a penniless... a penniless sitar player for the evil Maharaja and she falls in love with him! He wasn't trying to trick her or anything but he was dressed as a Maharaja because he's appearing in a play!
ARGENTINIAN: I play the best tango-dancing sitar player! Who will sing like an angel but dance like the devil!
DUKE: Yes... and what happens next?
CHRISTIAN: Well the penniless sitar player and the courtesan have to hide their love from the evil Maharaja...
SATTY: Meanwhile, the penniless sitar player's sitar is magical! It can only speak the truth!
TOULOUSSE: And I will play the magical sitar! (Turns to Satine) You are beautiful! (Turns to Zidler) You are ugly! (Turns to The Duke) And you are a-
(They all pull Toulousse back down)
DUKE: And he gives the game away, eh?
ALL: YES!
ZIDLER: Tell him about the can-can!
CHRISTIAN: Oh the tantric can-can...
ZIDLER: Its an erotic spectacular scene that captures the thrusting violent vibrant wild Bohemian spirit that this whole production embodies, Duke!
DUKE: What do you mean by that?
ZIDLER: The show will be a magnificent opulent tremendous stupendous gargantuan bedazzlement! A sensual ravishment! It will be- Spectacular Spectacular! No words in the vernacular can describe this great event. You'll be dumb with wonderment...
Returns are fixed at ten percent. You must agree that's excellent. And on top of your fee...

(Quick transition)

SATINE: But in the end she hears his song
CHRISTIAN: And their love is just too strong...
DUKE: Its a little bit funny... this feeling inside...
ALL: So exciting the audience will stop and cheer

CHRISTIAN: The sitar players secret song helps to flee the evil one
Though the tyrant rants and flails- he prevails to no avail!

ZIDLER: I am the evil Maharaja! You Will Not Escape!
SATINE: Oh Harold! No one could play him like you!
ZIDLER: No one's going to.

ALL: So exciting- we'll make enough so you will cry
So exciting
DUKE: And in the end should someone die?
ALL: So exciting the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting it will run for fifty years!!!

After a spur of the moment plot summary, The Duke agrees to produce the show. Christian and the Bohemians are rushed out of Satine's dressing room and proceed to celebrate the success of getting the Duke's backing. Christian goes to his flat in order to write the new show... but can't stop thinking about Satine- who he sees from his window, singing in her dressing room.

I follow the night
Can't stand the light
When will I begin to live again
One day I'll fly away
Leave All This To Yesterday
What more could your love do for me
When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day when dreaming ends...

Christian is drawn to Satine by her song and scares her. He asks if she would truly love him if he had been a duke. Sadly, she says she can never love anyone. Christian does not believe that to ever be true and proceeds to tell her of all the joys love must have to offer!

CHRISTIAN: But a life without love? Thats terrible!
SATINE: No, living on the street, thats terrible!
CHRISTIAN: No! Love is like oxygen!
SATINE: What?
CHRISTIAN: Love is a many splendored thing! Love lifts us up where we belong! All you need is love!
SATINE: Please don't start that again!
CHRISTIAN: All you need is love!
SATINE: A girl's got to eat!
CHRISTIAN: All you need is love!
SATINE: Or she'll end up on the street!
CHRISTIAN: All you need is love!
SATINE: Love is just a game...
CHRISTIAN: I was made for loving you baby, you were made for loving me
SATINE: The only way of loving me baby is to pay a lovely fee!
CHRISTIAN: Just one night give me just one night!
SATINE: There's no way, 'cause you can't pay!
CHRISTIAN: In the name of love- one night in the name of love!
SATINE: You crazy fool- I won't give in to you!
CHRISTIAN: Don't- leave me this way... I can't survive. Without your sweet love, oh baby- don't leave me this way.
SATINE: You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs...
CHRISTIAN: I look around me and I see it isn't so... oh no...
SATINE: Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs...
CHRISTIAN: Well whats wrong with that? I want to know... Cause here I go again! Love lifts us up where we belong! Where eagles fly on a mountain high!
SATINE: Love makes us act to be like fools! Throw our lives away for one happy day!
CHRISTIAN: We can be heroes! Just for one day!
SATINE: You- you will be mean!
CHRISTIAN: No I won't!
SATINE: And I... I'll drink all the time!
CHRISTIAN: We should be lovers!
SATINE: We can't do that!
CHRISTIAN: We should be lovers- and thats a fact!
SATINE: Though nothing will keep us together
CHRISTIAN: We can still turn just for one day
BOTH: We can be heroes... forever and ever
BOTH: We can be heroes... forever and ever
BOTH: We can be heroes...
CHRISTIAN: Just because I will always love you!
SATINE: I will always love you!
CHRISTIAN: Can't help loving you!
SATINE: How wonderful life is now you're in the world...

And with Christian and Satine in love, rehearsals for Spectacular Spectacular begin! The lovers remain as silent as they can about their feelings to fool The Duke but his suspicions continue to grow. Finally, he complains to Zidler that Satine is overworked and that he insists she have dinner with him in the Gothic Tower that very night. Zidler catches Satine with Christian and tells her she must end it with him and go to The Duke or else all is lost. Satine, however, is unable to attend the rendezvous with Christian or the dinner with The Duke. In a moment of sheer creativity, Zidler rushes to tell The Duke why Satine will not be present.

ZIDLER: She's confessing!
DUKE: Confessing!? What kind of an imbecile do you take me for, Zidler?
ZIDLER: She suddenly had a terrible desire to go to a priest and confess her sins.
DUKE: What?
ZIDLER: She wanted to be cleansed of her former life. She looks upon tonight as her wedding night.
DUKE: Her wedding night?
ZIDLER: She's like a blushing bride! She says you make her feel like a virgin...
DUKE: A virgin?
ZIDLER: You know... touched for the very first time. She says it feels so good inside. When you hold her and you touch her...
DUKE: Like a virgin...
ZIDLER: She's made it through the wilderness somehow... she's made it through... She didn't know how lost she was, until she found you. She was beat- incomplete! She had been had! She was sad and blue... But you made her feel- yes you made her feel shiny and new!
Like a virgin! Touched for the very first time! Like a virgin! Your hearts beat close in time! You've got to give her all your love!
WAITERS: Give her all your love!
ZIDLER: Her fear is fading fast! Been saving it all for you! Only love can last! She's so fine... and she's mine- she'll be yours till the end of time! Cause you made her feel-
ZIDLER AND WAITERS: Yes you made her feel she had nothing to hide!
Like a virgin! Touched for the very first time! Like a virgin! Your hearts beat close in time! Like a virgin! Feels so good inside! When you hold her and you touch her!
DUKE: She's so fine and she's mine. Makes me strong... yes she makes me bold. Oh her love thawed out... yes her love thawed out what was scared and cold!
ZIDLER: LIKE A VIRGIN!
WAITERS: Oooh like a virgin!
DUKE: Touched for the very first time!
ZIDLER: Like a virgin!
WAITERS: When your hearts beat close in time!
ZIDLER: Like a virgin!
DUKE: Feels so good inside! When you hold her and you touch her- And you hold her and you touch her!
ZIDLER AND DUKE: Like a virgin!

And this tactic seems to work! But Satine is still bound to follow Zidler's advice and break up with Christian. Her contract with the Moulin Rouge specifically states that she must sleep with The Duke on opening night- and the jealousy would drive Christian mad. He does not concur with this and eagerly tells Satine that he will write a new song for the show... A secret song that is meant to be between the two lovers- so that no matter what they are going through, they can sing it and know they are still in love.

CHRISTIAN: Never knew I could feel like this... Like I'd never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss. Every day I want you more...
Seasons may change- winter to spring... But I love you until the end of time
Come what may... Come what may... I will love you until my dying day
CHRISTIAN AND SATINE: Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high... No river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide
CHRISTIAN: But I love you
SATINE: I love you
BOTH: Until the end of time...
Come what may... Come what may... I will love you until my dying day

"I don't like this ending." Says The Duke flatly at the final dress rehearsal of Spectacular Spectacular. "Why would she choose a penniless sitar player over the Maharaja?" Christian loses himself in the moment and shouts, "Because she doesn't love you!"
The game appears to be up. But Satine turns on the charm and apologizes for the writers attitude. She tells The Duke they will have a lovely intimate dinner in the Gothic Tower and talk over the ending in private.
Christian, left behind sits and sulks as the woman he loves goes off to seduce another man. The Argentinian says, "Never fall in love with a woman who sells herself. It always turns out BAD!"

ARGENTINIAN: There is a story in the brothels of Buenos Aires...
Tells the story of a prostitute and the man who falls in love with her...
First there is desire! Then passion! Then suspicion! Jealousy! Anger! Betrayal!
Where love is for the highest bidder there can be no trust!
Without trust there is no love!
Jealousy! Yes Jealousy will drive you mad!
Roxanne... you don't have to put on that red light...
Walk the streets for money- you don't care if its wrong or if it is right
Roxanne... you don't have to wear that dress tonight...
Roxanne! You don't have to sell your body to the night...

CHRISTIAN: His eyes upon your face... his hand upon your hand... his lips caress your skin... Its more than I can stand! Why does my heart write feelings I can't fight!? You're afraid to leave me but just don't deceive me and please believe me when I say I love you!

DUKE: When this production succeeds you'll no longer be a can-can dancer but an actress. I will make you a star! (Opens box of jewels) Accept it as a gift from this Maharaja to his courtesan.

SATINE: And the ending?

DUKE: Let Zidler keep his fairy tale ending...

ARGENTINIAN: ROXANNE! You don't have to put on that red light!
CHRISTIAN: Why does my heart write feelings I can't fight!?
You're afraid to leave me but just don't deceive me and please believe me when I say I love you!

(Christian walks past the tower and sees Satine and The Duke on the balcony)

SATINE: Come what may... I will love you until my dying... day. No...
DUKE: No? Oh I see... its our very own penniless sitar player...
SATINE: I'm sorry Duke
DUKE: SILENCE! You made me believe that you loved me!

(He throws her into the Tower and rips the jewelry from her body)

ARGENTINIAN: ROXANNE!
CHRISTIAN: Why does my heart write feelings I can't fight!
ARGENTINIAN: ROXANNE!
DUKE: Feelings I can't fight!
ARGENTINIAN: ROXANNE!

In order for the Duke to forgive the insolence he has suffered, Satine must break up with Christian forever. Zidler convinces Satine to say goodbye to Christian or he will surely be killed in a jealous rage. Hours before the curtain is to rise on Spectacular Spectacular, Satine goes to see Christian.

ZIDLER: Hurt him to save him... There is no other way... The show must go on, Satine. We're creatures of the underworld. We can't afford to love.

SATINE: Today's a day
SATINE AND ZIDLER: when dreaming
SATINE: ends...

ZIDLER: Another hero, another mindless crime behind the curtain in the pantomime
ZIDLER AND SEAMSTRESSES: On and on does anybody know what we are living for?
Whatever happens we leave it all to chance
Another heart ache another failed romance
On and on... does anybody know what we are living for?
ZIDLER: The show must go on! The show must go on!
CREW: Outside the dawn is breaking on the stage that holds our final destiny!
ZIDLER: The show must go on! The show must go on!
SATINE: Inside my heart is breaking- my make-up may be flaking but my smile still stays on!
ALL: The show must go on! The show must go on!
SATINE: I'll top the bill- I'll earn the kill- I have to find the will to carry on with the
ZIDLER: on with the
ALL: on with the show!
ZIDLER: ON WITH THE SHOW! THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

Christian's heart is broken and Satine rushes away (her heart just as ripped apart). The show opens and the audience cheers exuberantly. The Duke sits in the front row eyeing his prize on the stage. Christian- despite the fact that he might be killed- goes back to The Moulin Rouge one last time to see if Satine really meant what she said. The narcoleptic Argentinian falls asleep at intermission and Christian stealthily takes his place. Meanwhile, The Duke's man servant Warner has spotted Christian and has drawn his gun in order to eliminate him. Just as he is about the pull the trigger, the door onstage bursts open and Satine and Christian are in full view of the audience. Toulousse, 20 feet about the stage sees Warner and needs to find some way to warn Christian!

CHRISTIAN: I've paid my whore. I owe you nothing and you are nothing to me. Thank you for curing me of my ridiculous obsession with love. (Leaves the stage down the aisle)

TOULOUSSE: I can't remember my line...

ZIDLER: (As Maharaja) This sitar player doesn't love you! See, he flees the kingodom! Its for the best pumpkin- you know it is. The show must go on! And now my bride it is time for you to raise your voice to heaven and say your wedding vows!

TOULOUSSE: I've got it! I've got it! AHHHH! The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return!!!

(Satine sees Christian down the aisle and immediately know what to do)

SATINE: Never knew I could feel like this... Its like I've never seen the sky before.
Want to vanish inside your kiss... Everyday I'm loving you more and more.
Listen to my heart can you hear it sing- Come back to me and forgive everything!
Seasons may change: winter to spring... I love you... 'til the end of time.

(After a moment of silence, Christian looks back at his love on the stage)

CHRISTIAN: Come what may... Come what may! Come What May! Come What May!
I will love you -

SATINE: I will love you-

CHRISTIAN: Until my dying-

BOTH: Day!
Come what may!

CHRISTIAN: Come what may!

SATINE: Come what may!

BOTH: I will love you... Until my dying-

(Toulousse falls from the rafters onto Warner)

TOULOUSSE: They're trying to kill you!

(Audience laughs)

TOULOUSSE: Look! He's got a gun!

(Zidler tries to bring Toulousse of the stage)

BOHEMIAN: Long Live Boheme! (Lights explosive)

(General chaos erupts and the door onstage bursts open to see that the Argentinian has woken up)

ARGENTINIAN: No problem! Go back to work!

TOULOUSSE AND CHORUS: No matter what you say- the show is going our way
So we stand our ground for Freedom Beauty Truth And Love!

ZIDLER: The show must go on!

CHORUS: No you can't fool the children of the revolution

SATINE: I will fly away

CHRISTIAN: My gift is my song

SATINE AND CHRISTIAN: I will love you!

CHORUS: FLY AWAY

SATINE AND CHRISTIAN: Yes I will love you!

CHORUS: Come What May

DUKE: MY WAY! MY WAY!

SATINE AND CHRISTIAN AND CHORUS: I will love you until my dying day!

And thus, the story of love comes to a close. But not in the way you might expect... I won't give everything away! You already got the extraordinary musical aspects of the movie! The actual thing... well... you need to see it to love it! Thanks!
