Moulin Rouge - Come What May

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.
That is the most memorable quote from the movie Moulin Rouge. I can't believe that it's actually almost a decade after this movie was relesead in 2001 that I first watched this movie.
I think this movie is superb. An amazing love story. Here are the reasons why I like this movie:

1. It's a way better version of Romeo-Juliet love story.
I think the Leo DeCaprio and Claire Danes' Romeo + Juliet love story is stupid. They make life seems priceless with the "you die I die" thing

2. It's musical.
Haha... It's no secret that I'm a fan of anything musical :p Also the cinematography, the colour, the costumes, the montage created gives amazing feeling to the movie.

3. Amazing actors.
Great performances by the actors makes you feel the joy, pain and love at each scenes of the film.


Also I choose some of memorable lines from the movies:

Satine: I don't need you anymore! All my life you made believe I was only worth what someone would pay for me! But Christian loves me. He loves me! He loves me, Harold. And that is worth everything! We're going away from you, away from the Duke, away from the Moulin Rouge!

and yet another one

Zidler: Send Christian away.
Satine: He will fight for me.
Zidler: Unless he believes that you don't love him.
Satine: What?
Zidler: You're a great actress, Satine. Make him believe that you don't love him.
Satine: No!
Zidler: Use your talent to save him! Hurt him, Satine. Hurt him to save him. There is no other way. The show must go on. We are creatures of the underworld. We can't afford to love.

Oh love is such a complicated thing isn't it? But as complicated as it portrayed on the movie, I still a hundred percent agree that "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return".
