By the way, there really was a big stucco elephant structure in the back of the actual Moulin Rouge back then.
I can't imagine that this movie would have the same effect on a younger audience, such as yourselves, as it did in 2001. The audiences who saw it back then grew up on MTV and would have been familiar with all the songs in it from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, which I am sure you two are not that familiar with. To me, when I saw it in the early 2000s, I was very entertained with how they repurposed all this familiar music.
The musical I recommend for non-musical fans is West Side Story 1961 . Forgetting it has some of the best songs and dancing of any musical ever, its non stop story. I agree with Josh, you can't have relentless cutting during dancing, Just keep the camera still and let me see the feet without any assistance from you.
An awesome movie. I had seen Romeo&Juliet on VHS and went to see this on release date because I trusted the director. And I'm not a Fan of musicals...
John Leguizamo isn’t just playing a dwarf. Toulouse Lautrec was a real person. It’s incredibly obnoxious character assassination
I generally hate musicals, but I did enjoy watching this one 20 something years ago. I was also really, really high at the time so that probably helped. Visually and stylistically it’s really cool, but musicals just aren’t for me.
LOL That is hilarious. I too was incredibly wasted when I first saw it. On VHS in like 2001-02. Somewhere in there. We were rolling on some really good E and when the green fairy came off the label of the absinthe bottle and flew around, I thought I was having a religious experience 😂
Captain, incoming message from Starfleet Command... they have requested an UNCUT REACTION to The Sound of Music & The Muppet Movie next. (Truly, these are the gold-plated latinum of musicals) 🏞🎵
Gold-PRESSED Latinum! Tss…humons…raaaaa
I enjoy the visuals of this film, but I don't come back to it very often because I don't care about the characters at all. The style of filming is so over the top and self-conscious that it becomes a self-parody, and I feel like I don't know whether to laugh or cry during some scenes. So, as much as I love musicals, I usually skip this one. In fact, one of my biggest complaints about the film when I first saw it was the use of covers, rather than original music throughout.
Jukebox musicals, like Singin’ in the Rain, can be great. Covers are not really something I’d think of as a criticism. This one even has an original song in it.
Bridge crew have to suggest a movie?
Not sure of your question. Annual Bridge Crew members get to request a movie for us to react to. It’s explained in the tier description.
I remember an ex girlfriend forcing me to watch this. I went in kicking and screaming. No, this story doesn’t have a happy ending. I hated the movie. I respect the effort to try different things, though guys.
All That Jazz from 1979 is a really good musical where the songs are part of the plot and help drive it forward
Buries head in sand...😳
Us crewmen on the lowers decks might have to mutiny and take over the bridge crew
Gotta admit, this is different and interesting for this channel.
I'm so, so sorry. :P
Never seen this movie, hung out with the Director of it once, though. Might get around to watching it at some point now...
Lmao that’s random lore
