Moulin Rouge! is a 2001 musical film, directed by Baz Luhrmann and starring Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman. The story is told through flashbacks from the point of view of Christian (McGregor), a young Englishman writing the story of his doomed affair with the star of the eponymous Parisian nightclub.Flashback to 1899 where Christian, an earnest young poet, has left his Victorian London home and his overbearing father in order to live an intellectual life amongst the Bohemian revolutionaries of Paris's bawdy, colorful Montmartre district. Soon after his arrival, an unconscious Argentinean falls through his roof, quickly joined by a dwarf dressed as a nun...or, as he introduces himself, Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec Montfa (John Leguizamo), painter, actor, and Bohemian revolutionary extraordinaire. He, along with the Argentinean (narcoleptic, as it turns out) and the rest of their theater troupe are in the flat above, rehearsing their musical spectacle which will, of course, revolutionize the artistic world as they know it—provided, of course, that they receive the patronage of Harold Zidler (Jim Broadbent), owner of the Moulin Rouge, the hottest nightclub-slash-brothel in Paris.The Moulin is soon to be converted into a theater in order to launch a new career for Zidler's "Sparkling Diamond", Satine (Kidman), the club's highest-paid courtesan and star attraction. Zidler, in turn, is relying on the patronage of the odious Duke (Richard Roxburgh) whose only condition in signing away the fortune it will take to convert the Moulin into a theater is that Satine become his mistress. The Duke gets his courtesan, Zidler gets his theater, the Bohemians get their play, and Satine gets the respectable career she's always dreamed of. It's a perfect set-up, which is why it will all go horribly, inevitably wrong.Christian wins over the Bohemians and—after their original librettist storms out in a jealous rage—is put in charge of writing their show, Spectacular Spectacular!. To celebrate, they take him out to the Moulin Rouge, on, as it happens, the same night of the Duke's introduction to (and first scheduled rendezvous) with Satine. There is an interesting misunderstanding, but Christian's fundamental innocence and the power of his (well, Bernie Taupin's) poetry win her over, leaving her as starry-eyed with him as he is with her—until, of course, it is revealed that he isn't actually the Duke. As the months pass—as the Moulin becomes a theater and the show comes together—it becomes increasingly evident that their mutual attraction is too strong to ignore. However, the Duke is far less buffoonish than he appears, and if he is crossed, in love or otherwise, there's no telling what lengths he'll go to to keep the new lovers apart...The film is a wild mishmash of genres, kinetic editing and atmosphere, often compared to a Music Video for its use of Jitter Cam. It is also composed almost exclusively of Cover Versions of songs, though most of them have been rewritten into new styles. Madonna's "Like a Virgin" becomes a Busby Berkeley Number (sung by a man), for instance, and the film contains only one song which the audience has never heard before (which, in fact, was originally intended for Luhrmann's William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet). It is also one of the most triumphant examples of the First Law of Tragicomedies, taking it almost to Mood Whiplash territory; the bleak Framing Device of Christian at his typewriter switches quickly into a vibrant, almost cartoonish comedy before the inevitable spiral towards the Bittersweet / Downer Ending. Finally, it was the first movie musical in a couple of decades to gain any sort of widespread popularity, and has helped launch the subsequent revival of the genre.This movie has no relation to the biopic of the same. If you're looking for that, you'll find it here. A Screen-to-Stage Adaptation premiered in 2019.

Reprise Medley: A rather epic example: "Come What May", after Toulouse reveals the truth about Christian's life being in danger, morphs into a recapitulation and dueling medley of most of the movie's main themes, with "The Show Must Go On", "Your Song", "I'll Fly Away", "Children of the Revolution", and even a bit of "The Pitch" (the part about the "sitar player's secret song") all showing up.

All There in the Manual
 Moulin Rouge! / int_17ce80aa
comment
All There in the Manual: Each of the courtesans at the Moulin Rouge has a specific name, along with a costume that reflects that name. Examples include French Maid, Petite Princess (a dwarf), Madame Fromage (a Big Beautiful Woman in clothing that suggests desserts), Travesty (which anyone who listens to Eddie Izzard will know is French for "transvestite", who wears a man's suit and top hat on the top of her body, and a can-can dress on the bottom), and Pearly Queen (who wears various expensive-looking items, such as furs and pearls).

Anachronism Stew: The film deliberately mixes period costumes with modern pop culture (a mix Luhrmann would later use in the 2013 version of The Great Gatsby), most notably with its... Anachronistic Soundtrack: Aside from its now-iconic cover of "Lady Marmalade", the characters sing the songs of Nat King Cole, Queen, The Beatles, Madonna, Elton John, Nirvana and Rodgers and Hammerstein, to name a few. They reference many other songs, like "My Way", "Love is Like Oxygen" and "Diamond Dogs". This conveys to contemporary viewers that the Moulin Rouge was the wildest nightclub imaginable.

Hidden Depths: Satine seems to be a shallow material diva in the beginning, but falling in love with Christian shows there is more to her. The Duke as well. Though initially characterized as a Harmless Villain, he's quickly revealed to be anything but. He also seems genuinely hurt by the fact that Satine isn't interested in him. Finally, he's the first person on the cast to see Satine's death coming.

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Starts off very idealistically, then slowly slides toward cynicism. It reaches Crapsack World levels when you realize their reconciliation DESTROYS the lives of EVERYONE we meet in the film (we know from the opening/ending that the Duke closes the Moulin Rouge).

Mood Lighting: The beginning of the movie is dully-colored. When the comedy starts, the colors are brilliant and the lighting is bright. When the drama begins, the main colors are black and white (to spoken and daylight scenes) and red and blue (for the musical and nighttime bits). After the "Hindi Sad Diamonds" it comes again brightly colored until the end of "Come What May (finale)" when goes again all black, white, red and blue. Finally, it ends, with normal daylight colors.

Jukebox Musical: The soundtrack uses pre-existing songs from various artists rather than a single artist or band's work. The only exception is "Come What May", although even that was originally written for Baz Lurhmann's Romeo + Juliet.

Viewers Are Geniuses: Satine's desire to be a "real actress" being taken seriously relies on audiences understanding the cultural and historical connotations of her era. In the turn of the century Europe, "real" acting was only viewed by polite society: opera, ballet, stage plays, or maybe that newfangled "cinema." If you couldn't bring your deeply conservative and prudish great aunt to come see it, it wasn't legitimate. Meanwhile, Satine does strip teases and burlesque numbers for horny men in a brothel. It's today's equivalent of a porn star wanting to become a Hollywood actress, or a stripper wanting to become a ballet dancer.

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: when The Duke returns and finds Christian holding Satine in his arms (she has just swooned for unrelated reasons), he is dismissive of the idea that the two of them are rehearsing: The best part is that he emphasizes the "elephant" portion as though it is truly what seals the deal, ignoring the fact that (so far as the movie bothers to explain) Satine's house is simply done up like a giant elephant. This sets up the impression that he is an Upper-Class Twit.

"I Want" Song: Satine's first conversation with Zidler lets viewers know that that she wants to become a "real actress" with "a real show in a real theater, [and] a real audience..." instead of the burlesque dancer and courtesan she currently works as. Later she sings a wistful rendition of "One Day I'll Fly Away" expounding on her desire to outgrow the seedy Parisian underbelly and her unfulfilled dreams of a better life.

Recycled In Space: Moulin Rouge is the Disney Acid Sequence remix of La Traviata, which itself is La Dame aux Camellias AS AN OPERA! Moulin Rouge also has elements of La Bohème (Scènes de la vie de bohème AS AN OPERA!) and the Orpheus myth. Not to exclude at all the fact that Spectacular Spectacular, and therefore the plot of the film itself, is obviously taken from an ancient Sanskrit play called The Little Clay Cart.

Heroic Bystander: The courtesans and bohemians get the chance to save the day in the finale. Toulouse swings from the rafters and knocks the gun from Warner's hand; Nini uses her high kicks to knock Warner upside the head and keep him from recovering the weapon; the Argentinian clocks him with a door; and the sitar player brains him with his instrument. It's Petite Princess, though, who is the most heroic: she climbs to the top of the stage and, just as Warner is about to fire, drops a sandbag onto his head, making him miss and sending the pistol flying.

Leitmotif
 Moulin Rouge! / int_9f6fb586
comment
Leitmotif: Many. Satine's is "One Day I'll Fly Away", Christian's is "Nature Boy" (and "Your Song"). Love's theme is, naturally, "Come What May". And so on. "Come What May" is also the theme of forgiveness and faith in love, not just love itself. It's mentioned by the characters themselves and that's why she sings it at the climax of the film, in order to beg for his forgiveness. It could be argued that Satine and Christian have two leitmotifs or possibly even more than that. "Sparkling Diamonds" is the song that represents Satine's life as a courtesan and "Your Song" represents Christian's one-sided love. When it is sung in a duet in "Elephant Love Medley", it symbolizes Satine returning his love. "El Tango de Roxanne" is this for practically every major dramatic scene in the movie, whether you realize it or not. Next time you watch it, see if you can notice a faint tango rhythm underscoring some of the darker scenes.

Mood Whiplash: The movie starts out in a Crapsack World, goes straight into lightheartedly cartoonish antics once the flashbacks start, and the film thereafter is a slow decline into its Downer Ending finale. The song rearrangements are always whimsical or loving... right up to El Tango de Roxanne, which begins with laughs before developing overtones of real violence (Nini appears to be in pain when the Argentinian grabs her), and ends with the Argentinian miming slitting her throat.

The Duke himself. While he doesn't get to keep Satine, he doesn't really suffer much in the end. In fact, he manages to exact Disproportionate Retribution against everyone, as it is implied that he did follow through with his threat and closed down the Moulin Rouge.

Rearrange the Song: El Tango De Roxanne, based on The Police's "Roxanne" with music from Mariano Mores' "Tanguera". Madonna's "Like a Virgin" done as a Gilbert and Sullivan number, complete with Busby Berkeley choreography. And Gilbert is one of the singers! Queen's "The Show Must Go On", the opera version! Hell, the movie rearranges ITS OWN SONG, "Come What May," from the soft, romantic love song to the more operatic, melodramatic clip of it the characters in Spectacular Spectacular sing.

Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor: The Duke (rich) vs. Christian (poor) for the affections of Satine. This conflict is mirrored in the Show Within a Show, between an evil maharajah and a penniless sitar player for the affections of a beautiful courtesan. However, while he is very definitely the villain of the film, the Duke does still get a chance to comment on the love triangle and question why he's the villain in this situation, asking why the courtesan would chose poverty over the lifetime of security that the maharajah is offering.

Both become very possessive and jealous over her, and react horribly when she rejects them. The Duke tries to rape her, while Christian rather brutally slut-shames her in front of everyone they know.

In Love with the Mark: Satine originally pursued seducing Christian (or rather, The Duke, but a mix-up complicated things) solely for business purposes, but then genuinely fell in love with him.

Show Within a Show: "Spectacular Spectacular!" If you follow the opening of the movie, it's really a movie depicting a stage performance of a movie about a man singing about a man writing the story of his involvement in a musical about a man whose involvement in a musical mirrors the writer's.

Break His Heart to Save Him: The Trope Namer. In order to drive Christian away so the Duke can't take his jealous rage out on him, Zidler urges Satine to tell him she never loved him. It breaks his heart only too well, but it fails to keep him away from the Moulin Rogue.

Melodrama
 Moulin Rouge! / int_c960dde7
comment
Melodrama: Done spectacularly right. It fits all the requisites for the melodrama genre: orchestraic music and songs to accompany the action (Victorian melodrama), simplistic yet exaggerated character archetypes (Christian is the Naïve Newcomer, Satine the Hooker with a Heart of Gold, the Duke is the Villain, etc), the story plays up on emotion more than clever plot twists, most obstacles are minor but played up by the characters as insurmountable mountains, the story is an internal affair between a few characters (a Love Triangle between an evil rich suitor and idealistic poor suitor for a tragic ill girl) in a set location (the Moulin Rouge), there's an aristocratic villain, etc. And it manages to be engaging for modern audiences due to its Framing Device and shameless, balls-to-the-walls energy, stylization, and passion.

No Name Given: No names are ever given for the characters in the troupe's play; they are simply the Courtesan, the Penniless Sitar Player, and the Maharajah. This also applies to many of the side characters—the Narcoleptic Argentinean and the Doctor (no, not that one) being prominent examples.

Minor Character, Major Song: The Narcoleptic Argentinian, who is basically a walking joke for most of the film at this point, gets the absolutely epic arrangement of "El Tango de Roxanne." He doesn't do much afterwards, either.

All Part of the Show: Satine passing out and falling off the swing is played as this by Zidler. He teases the men in the audience that they've scared her off. The climax of the film takes place at the opening night of Spectacular Spectacular. Christian's infiltration, his argument with Satine, their reconciliation, and their defeat of the Duke are all played as the courtesan choosing the sitar player over the maharajah in the end. The crowd goes wild for it.

WorldHalfEmpty
 Moulin Rouge! / int_d37c028d
comment
World Half Empty: Played With. Aside from being an example of Mood Whiplash and Fisher Kingdom, the contrast between the opening of the movie and the flashback illustrates these tropes. First the audience is shown Montmarte as a bleak and desolate place, with its inhabitants doped up on absinthe and various other drugs, while a priest stands outside the entrance warning the viewer not to enter "this village of sin." Then when everything flips to the colorful, happy, lively Montmartre, some of the same characters are seen again dancing, singing, and playing music as "children of the revolution". An implication that can be drawn from this (beyond that the district's fortunes and happiness depend upon Satine's life) is that neither this nor World Half Full is completely correct by itself, that the real Montmartre was a mix of the two, or at least depended on point of view and one's experiences there.

comment
Artistic Licence – Biology: Someone suffering from the final stages of consumption would not be in any condition to sing, let alone be able to reach such high notes. (This is consistent with the source material; much literature and theatre of the period inflicted their heroines with tuberculosis, but reinterpreted said heroines' wasting sickness to "becomes attractively pale, thin and delicate-looking".) Tuberculosis is contagious, meaning a lot of the people Satine came into contact with, especially Christian should have been at risk.

Evil Desires Innocence: The Duke switches to this motive halfway through the musical number "Like A Virgin" when Satine is characterized like a virgin. However, rather than seeing her supposed innocence as alluring or beautiful (as was expected) - he is thrown into lustful rapture wanting to defile it.

Animal Motifs: Satine has a recurring motif of birds, from Zidler's nicknames for her including "duckling" and "gosling", her musical motif being "One Day I'll Fly Away", and a caged lovebird appearing in the foreground as she tells Zidler her intentions to escape with Christian only to have those hopes squashed as he reveals she's dying. The caged lovebird can also be seen in the last scene of the film outside Christian's apartment as he finishes writing the story of their love.

Concepts Are Cheap
 Moulin Rouge! / int_e9432eb
comment
Concepts Are Cheap: Christian spends the film chasing after abstract concepts. The movie does very little to explore what these ideas mean in the first place. He believed that because he and Satine believe in Freedom, Art and Love, the universe has to bend around them and that he never has to make any tough choices. Also, it doesn't ever seem to occur to him that these concepts aren't always compatible with each other. For instance, for his play to succeed, he would have to avoid falling in love with the investor's love interest. He also doesn't respect Satine's freedom to love someone other than him, seeing her attempt to break up with him as a result of being manipulated the whole time. He also spends the whole movie asserting that "love is like oxygen" and "all you need is love." and Satine dies of consumption, a disease that primarily attacks the lungs.

Wrote a Good Fake Story: Christian is caught with Satine by her prospective patron the Duke. Christian claims they're collaborating on a play for the Duke to finance and improvises a pitch with his Bohemian friends. The Duke ends up liking the idea, and Christian writes an epic musical about India, mostly so that he and Satine can have their love affair under the Duke's nose.

Easily Forgiven: Despite Christian slut-shaming her in front of an entire audience, Satine doesn't see this as crossing the line when it comes to breakup etiquette. And although we don't understand Christian's rationale for getting back together with Satine, he overlooks the fact that she was the one who broke his heart.
