Moulin Rouge! March 4, 2007

“No Laws. No Limits. One Rule. Never Fall In Love.”

Moulin Rouge is directed and produced by Baz Luhrmann. The lead characters are Satine (Nicole Kidman) and Christian (Ewan Mcgregor). I am sure almost all of you knows about this. To some those who still not knows about this then …

It’s Paris in 1899. Christian, a young English poet, comes to Paris to persue a pennyless career as a writer. However, he soon meets a group of Bohemians who tell him that he should write a musical show for them to be performed at the Moulin Rouge, the most famous underworld night club in Paris. The night they arrive at the Moulin Rouge, Christian meets Satine, the club’s star and a beautiful courtesan. He falls head-over-heels in love with her and though it takes a bit of convincing, she falls for him as well. Meanwhile, the club’s owner, Harold Zidler(Jim Broadbent), invests in a wealthy Duke (Richard Roxburgh) to help pay for the club, however, the duke will only pay if Satine is his. This crazy love triangle twists and turns. And little does Satine know that she has a deadly secret that could end everything. Written by sweetlilcyclone210

This is the most beautiful musical genre I have ever watched. This is my favorite, as well. The actors, Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman did an amazing job in acting and singing. At first, before watching the movie, I was surprised that both of them could sing, and it turned out that they were good at it. They have a really beautiful singing voice that makes you sing or hum with them. The film is very romantic and has a touch of comedy in it, but as the film is ending, tragedy comes along.

The plot was very good and it has its own twist and turns which left me guessing what would be next. The light and colors were amazing and the effects, too.  And not to mention the setting and their costumes! (Oh boy, was I in awe. ) (which the film had an eight nominations in the Oscars and won two of them; art direction and costume designs!)

I am proudly telling you to watch this film for those who has not yet seen Moulin Rouge. 🙂

C’mon and search! January 10, 2007

I’m quite sure almost all of the people know this. Google is a search engine. It does the searching for you so all you need to do is type what you want to find out. It does not only search the web, but it also gives you pictures, groups and directory.

Eversince I need to research about something, I always use Google. It is very easy to use and has many sources to pick out. For me, it is very liable because I always finish what I need to research on. For me, I like Google more than Yahoo! and I don’t know why eventhough these two are quite the same in some ways. Some days, they change their logo and add characters or symbols and somehow, I find it quite amusing. hah.
