Developing

This work premieres in the United States on June 1, 2001 and has come to raise one hundred and seventy -nine million two hundred thousand dollars. Baz presents a work, narrated in 1899, very well achieved, in the field of costumes, music and cast, with Ewan McGregor, such as Christian, a young and poor writer who arrives in Paris to write about love, but this, this,He has not lived it, and the fantastic performance of Nicole Kidman, giving life to Satine, the protagonist with an incurable sick and the most coveted prostitute of Moulin Rouge, which repeats the phrase "Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend", like a anthem.

The poet is made to go through a Duke who would invest in a work by Moulin Rouge, everything that together with his friends can create a theatrical work that shows the bohemian style of the time, the search for freedom, truth and love.

Meet the young dancer who thinks that she is the real investor and tries to seduce him, the boy does not know what to do and recites one of her poems, she falls in love with her poetry and he, of the beauty of her eyes. He agrees to work with him, since, his dream is to be a renowned actress, but discovers that the poet is not a Duke, much less millionaire.

That is why the candidate for actress has to decide whether to stay with the poor poet or with the true Duke, who sees her as a trophy, but a man who, with her money, would help her become an actress. The costume of this film, made by Catherine Martin, especially the one used by Nicole Kidman, is undoubtedly spectacular, has rhinestones, feathers, tight to the body, all with a touch of elegance, delicacy and eroticism that characterized MoulinRouge. The dancers’ costumes were striking colors, corsets, prints, heel shoes and even boots, but never managed to overshadow the beauty of the outfits that were used by the protagonist.

The dress of the men was very colorful, but not like that of the protagonist, Christian and the antagonist, the Duke, they wore two pieces of dark colors, mainly black and with cup envelopes. This feature film did not have original music, but still exceptional, chosen by Craig Armstrong. All the songs that appeared in the movie are great hits of singers like David Bowie, Madonna, Queen, Elton John, The Beatles, and thus follow the list, some of these songs were: "The Sound of Music", "Your Song"," Like A Virgin "," The Show Must Go On "," Lady Marmalade "," Material Girl ‘, "All You Need Is Love" and of course, the song that defines Satine’s ambition.

 "Diamonds are a Girl’s Friend". The cast is one of the best things that this musical has, Nicole Kidman always giving the best in her performance, the drama and feeling she puts on each scene is magnificent, not forgetting the small touch of comedy that becomes necessary before so much drama. Ewan McGregor, the emotion of his character, transmitted pain, jealousy and love in each scene, was simply incredible. But the film is not just "wonderful", there is part that the use of special effects or the so -called "green screen" makes the viewer lose all the emotion that is generated at times when the protagonists interact.

conclusion

Excessive use of this type of effect. For me, this film was amazing, a musical who lives from colors, script, the choice of music, actors, dances, makeup, sensuality and of course clothing, was impeccable, all these aspects achieved in its entirety. This film is very interesting and captivating, manages to catch the viewer’s attention from the beginning, with the use of the scenery, music and history of a young man in love with a prostitute who has a disease. We transmit the pain and love that is born between the characters and how evil tries to separate them.
