Moulin Rouge
This movie is not for everyone, and presence of many critics for this movie indicates validity of the argument that was against this movie. However, on the other hand, the audience loved this movie. They liked it and wanted to see it more. In the first fifteen minutes, no one can imagine the reality of movie, but later on, one can realize it as an interesting, as well as a magnificent piece of work. By the end, one can assume that this movie is a marvelous piece of work, and is one of the strongest movies. Experts believe that one should watch it with an open mind because in this movie, director has included various aspects of human life, such as realism, logic, fantasy, as well as romance. In this regard, this movie has different aspects one will find love, passion, and reality and along with it, the director has done a remarkable job by preserving reality while illustrating a pompous life where it is all about love and how to make love possible with a touch of passion and strong feelings. Love is actually life, without love, no one is complete. This is actually a slogan, which one can see in this movie (Mayer, 2007).
Baz Luhrmann, no doubt, is one of the well-known and famous directors who managed work with full dedication and devotion. The story of Moulin Rouge is simple and easy. In this movie, a simple boy falls in love with a bad girl only to get a pompous life. This movie is the one, which breaks every single limit of the film industry. In this movie, many bold scenes are there, which no doubt add a bit spice in it. Due to this reason, many different kinds of problems aroused that resulted in difficulties for the director of this movie.
This movie also makes one realizes that the world of film industry is the one that most of the directors represent in a small and narrow way (Quinlan, 1983). Whereas, on the other hand, Moulin Rouge uses a camera, as well as the screen to make something really bigger as compared to the other works. In this movie, the director has only put efforts to make people recognize the reality, to make people think about all the happenings that are no doubt the real one. His main idea or concept is actually to depict world in a broader perspective, with the help of which, one can see the world with a broader view. This movie makes one breathless and makes one feel about the world, about all the happenings, which are around us, but due to many reasons, we are some way unable to realize them.
In this movie, one can realize the difficulties of the life and along with this one can realize that how actually people get into the world of fantasy, which is full of amazing things and happenings. This movie is really a big piece of art and work, which tells the audience as how to see things in a bigger and in a positive perspective. Most of the people along with many directors think that film making is just an art with the help of which, one can make people laugh, cry, or let them enjoy their time. However, this thinking is not correct to some extent. No doubt, filmmaking is an art that allows people to enjoy their time but along with this, it is an art by which, one can realize that what he or she has gain in that particular time. Love is a passion and without love, no one is complete. Same meaning or concept of love is in this movie. In this movie, as discussed above, a young boy falls in love with an upcoming star, she is beautiful, bold, and attractive and no doubt, she is the most romantic person. Falling in love is an extremely fantastic and loveable moment, which one can never forget. This young boy falls in love with her, he loves him with full dedication, he can do anything for her, and this is the main reason, which makes this love so deep (Martin, 2001).
Now the paper will endeavor to identify some issues that existed at the time of Moulin Rouge. In specific, many issues were against this movie. Some issues relate to the religious perspective, whereas, some were against the social limits. Moulin Rouge is a movie, which relates to the past times, and thus, resulted in some cultural effects. Culture is something that makes one feel proud, one can live according to a culture, and it is a fundamental component of human life. People usually think that culture is something which makes one bound, whereas, it does not bound, but it is there to teach as how to live and how to make life the successful one (Brian, 2002). A person usually thinks that love is a simple emotion, whereas, love, according to this movie, is something different and unique. In this movie, loves portrayal exists in a different and unique way. A person who falls in love is the one who can do anything for his love. Doing anything for love is the main element that this movie depicts in a positive way (Mayer, 2007).
In this movie, love is the only single power that is very much important, whereas, if one looks back at those times, one can observe that love was not the some authoritative entity in that era that resulted in direct confrontation of Moulin Rouge with cultural norms and values of the era. A number of scenes of the film were quite bold that challenged the cultural and social standards of even the American society that was a broad-minded and modern society, as compared with other societies globally. In this regard, at that time, love was not the main element, and it had no importance, whereas, in this movie, the main power is love, which shows immense debate and effect on the society.
These are some issues, which a number of critics and directors raised, in order to stop the promotion of this movie, but it is an observation that audience welcomed the promotion of this movie, and accepted it as a liberal society. This movie, no doubt, depicted many bold decisions, regarding inclusion of the notion of love, and besides love, this movie was one of the pioneering endeavors that emphasized greatly on the music in Hollywood that was not a usual practice before release of Moulin Rouge (Harper, 2007). In this regard, this movie played an influential role in enhancing the importance of music during that era. In this movie, every single aspect is there which tells us the ways with the help of which, one can live a prosperous life. One can also relate this movie to the history, which tells us about the music era of the past times. In brief, this is a story of life. Analysis has indicated that the director worked hard, in order to make one feel about all the brilliant and magnificent areas with the help of which, one can work better and can make ones life the better one. Relating it to the past is no doubt was a tough job but this superb director is the one who related this with the past time and then depicted this movie in an immense way with the help of which, one can easily know that how to live with full zeal and zest (Jose, 1954).
No doubt, in this movie, one can see the cultural differences, but, on the other hand, this movie is the best piece of work, which tells how to promote love and how to be bold enough while attaining every single mission of life. One can enjoy all the activities, can love, can make other people laugh and can do whatever one wants to do in the life. This movie makes one feel about the world of fantasy, about the world of truth, belief and above all this, this movie makes one to think about love. Abovementioned are some of the significant features of Moulin Rouge that brought a number of social and cultural alterations in the American society largely (Young, 2000). As mentioned before, there were many critics who were against this movie, who wanted not to promote this movie, as it depicts the feeling of love, which was totally against the history and their culture at that time.
However, this movie shows such things, which make one think that how wonderful this feeling is, and this is the main reason that audience appreciated and welcomed it on mass level. In this movie, the difference between two centuries is there, which shows two parallel lines. Bold and beautiful scenes in this movie show how these two centuries differ from each other that make the Moulin Rouge an excellent piece of work that deserves appreciation (Young, 2000). Love is a passion and anyone who falls in love totally forgets everything. Fashion, glamour, art, style, and many other aspects are there in this movie. One can see every single aspect in this movie, and thus, can enjoy the life with full zeal and zest. After the release of this movie, many people accepted it as a positive sign, and many regarded it as a negative sign. Many people regarded this movie as one of the best pieces of work. After release of this movie, fashion really emerged out in a positive direction that was the outcome and achievement of Moulin Rouge. In specific, people began to adopt and promote fashion, and there were fashion statements in the society in a constructive manner (Godawa, 2002).
This movie is a complete fantasy and this is the main reason why it acquired a lot of appreciation. This is the best piece of work that directly related to the world of fantasy not to the world of facts. Anyone can lead a life in this way but the only main thing that this movie depicted is the fantasy (Rynn, 2007). Everything has some positive, as well as some negative aspects. It is the situation with this movie as well. Bold and beautiful scenes, lovemaking scenes, emerging of love, fashion and many other elements were the best elements according to most of the audience members. However, on the other side, many other directors and critics regarded these same elements negative. Many people thought love as not a good sign, as it can damage ones self esteem and it is against the culture. These perceptions were the one that caused adverse issues for this movie. However, apart from all the above discussion, this movie is the tremendous piece of work, and this is the main reason of its survival until today, as still, a number of film directors consider Moulin Rouge as the model example to produce and direct a romantic film.
Apart from all the positive and negative aspects, this movie proved as the best one and numerous amount of local and national audiences appreciated it largely. People loved it and wanted to see it as many times as they can. Apart from all the negative sides, by looking at the positive side, one can observe the reason of such an importance of this movie. For instance, it revealed and promoted many aspects of human society that later became the major components, such as fashion, music, and many more. Optimism is very much important in human life that is evidently visible in this movie. Lastly, the movie played a significant role in providing various lessons to the audiences. For instance, it is necessary to have an open mind to view the world in order to become successful in life. In addition, one should have an open mind, in order to watch this movie as well. Seeing things in a positive direction, and then, measuring them according to the elements of life is an important task in human life that is another lesson of this movie.
By watching this movie, one can agree that no one will forget it, and will remember it for times. If one watches this movie in a positive aspect, then the results will be for sure in a positive way, otherwise, one will suffer from narrow-minded arguments, and will not acquire the main lessons of this movie (Benjamin, 1993). Therefore, it is very much necessary to have a broad mind first, and view every single aspect in a positive way with the help of which, one can generate positive outcomes, and will never face any kind of difficulties or problems in the future (Nash, 1987). Conclusively, the paper has discussed some of the significant aspects of Moulin Rouge.
