It's one of my favorite movies, and I have saw this movie for over 5 times. It's a tragicomic musical movie. The story background set in 1900's Paris. The cabaret's star courtesan, Satine (Nicole Kidman), mistakenly fell in love with the poor writer, Cristian(Ewan McGregor) because she thought Cristian was the wealthy duke who was going to sponsor the new show in Moulin Rouge.
The real duke wanted Satine to be his woman so that he would go on his investment on Moulin Rouge. Therefore, Satine and Cristian could only love secretly. Their relationship was finally found by duke. He was very angry and hired a killer to kill Cristian. As Satine knew his plan, she wanted to save Cristian's life anyway. In fact, Satine was dying because of consumption, so she pretended that she didn't love Cristian at all and ask him to go away from her. Cristian couldn't believe this, so he decided to talk with Satine with his last hope. Even though he found out Satine's real mind, it's still nothing he could do. Satine died in his arms in the end.
It's like another version of Romeo and Juliet, and I was so surprised about Nicole Kidmam and Ewan McGregor's talents of singing. I enjoy this movie and their voices a lot.
