Just so you know, John Leguizamo was playing the artist Henri Toulouse Lautrec, and he wasn't a little person. He had a condition that made the bones in his legs super fragile, so they broke often, couldn't bear his weight, and ended up being stunted. So as an adult he was significantly shorter than the average person, but with the same proportions from the waist up. So without an actor with the same condition, this was the most accurate way to portray him
thank you, that was bugging me....
You didn't include his famous pieces of art were of a courtesan who looked very similar to satine, it's where the influence came from.
@@harrietelizabeth9195I didn't know that! Thanks for the info!
I studied French and art history in college and love this movie and I didn’t realize until this exact moment that his character was Toulouse Lautrec 😂🤯
Still furious that Ewan wasn't even nominated for an Oscar for this. He was amazing.
My proudest moment is convincing a group of like 7 grown ass men I was in a collage program with to watch Moulin Rouge at their next 'boy's movie night' and succeeded in ruining their lives 😂
Nominated for 8 Oscars including Best Picture, but won for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design.
Ewan’s cry when Satine dies gets me every time.
In many ways, this movie's visual style and camerawork is closer to animated films than live-action. I love how both the viewer and the characters are constantly careening around the space with no regard for physics or even logic, but purely because it fits the FEELING of a particular moment.
I can’t wait for this- El Tango De Roxanne is one of my favorite Musical tracks.
My favorite...I mean. It IS a Tango. lol. Come what may is obviously epic. But the Tango...that is my #1
Same, and I hate the way they did it in the Broadway version, just take that scene away from the argentinian character 😐
If a theater near you brings Moulin Rouge back for a viewing on the big screen you have to go see it! It’s a totally different experience! At the opening Satie as the conductor really looks like he’s standing there as a full-sized person. And there are things going on in the corners of the frame you don’t notice on a computer or television screen. Not to mention the sweeping shots through the windmill are so much better experienced on a large screen.
We'll be sure to check it out if it ever returns to theaters near us.
So true! I saw it when came out to cinema and love it since the beginning till the end.Is one of my favourites movies
I wish we got to see Ewan sing in more movies! His voice is perfection! 🥰 The whole vibe of this movie is so unique. And I love the jukebox musicality of it. The ending gets me every time too! 💔
Watch Down With Love if you haven’t
Ewan sings in several movies already :
Emma (a duet)
Velvet Goldmine (he plays a rockstar who performs several songs on stage)
Down With Love (a duet with Renée Zellweger during the credits)
A Life Less Ordinary (a duet with Cameron Diaz)
Miss Potter (a kind of lullaby)
Pinnochio (a song during the credits as Jiminy Cricket)
Beauty and the Beast (he plays Lumiere)
The music for this one was next level. Their rendition of Like A Virgin BROKE me!!!
Thank you for a great reaction! I have always loved this musical.
John Leguizamo wasn't playing a little person. Henri Toulouse-Lautrec was a real person. Because of an accident his legs never developed. "Born into the aristocracy, Toulouse-Lautrec broke both his legs around the time of his adolescence and, due to the rare condition pycnodysostosis, was very short as an adult due to his undersized legs."
I somehow got the feeling that the fact that his parents were cousins added to his condition, is that true?
OMG This is such a good movie!!! Moulin Rouge, Van Helsing and League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen made me a huge Richard Roxburgh fan.
Both Van Helsing and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen are on our list of movies to watch.
That's awesome. 😊
A fellow Richard Roxburgh fan!
Fun fact! In Star Wars: The Clone Wars Dave Filoni and George Lucas created the character of Duchess Satine to be a love interest for Obi-Wan Kenobi in honor of this movie!
Came here to comment this. Satine Kryze isn’t a coincidence. 🥰
Already looking forward to this one! 😊
And I'll have tissues on hand for the ending.
This is such a beautiful movie. Definitely one of my favorite Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman films. And the fact that they, and the whole cast, did their own singing makes it even better.
This whole soundtrack is one of my top favorites.
Looking forward to the next reaction. 😊
I like how Ozzy Osbourne did the scream for the green fairy \m/
I keep forgetting it’s Ozzy, and every time I’m reminded of it I get so happy, this film is filled with so many of my favourite actors and musicians
This is part of the Red Curtain Trilogy along with Strictly Ballroom and Romeo + Juliet. I love them all together and often when I watch one, I turn it into a movie marathon.
That "cunning- linguist" needed THE loudest "ba-dum tsss." ever heard.
Leguizamo paid a price for the role. Years after, he's said in interviews that his knees are shot, and he had to go through physical therapy for a severely compressed spine as well.
I already was enchanted by Nicole Kidman, this movie made me enamoured with her.
And, let me say as a straight man... the same for Ewan McGregor.
I do love Richard Roxburgh as the Duke. He does such a good job.
Social platforms truly are mind readers. I was just thinking the other day that I wished more people would react to Moulin Rouge and Phantom, but don’t because of the nightmare that is a musical to not get hit with a copyright strike. Thanks for reacting to this, one of my all time favorites! ❤
This is the wildest, most beautiful movie I have ever seen. ❤ And I cry every damn time
I have to wait another two days to see your reaction to this masterpiece?!? Now, this is the kind of post that tempts one to join the Patreon! 😂
In other news, I have just become your newest Patron!! 🙋♀️
So happy you joined the party! 💙💜
I really really loving this reactions of old movies, I can't believe that its your first time watching some of them, you are trully living up to the channel's name!!!! Keep them coming please!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you like them! We've got plenty more to go!
Old movies? You’re making me feel ancient. I was a junior in HS when this came out.
Oh wait, I am 22 years out of HS. I’m old. 😝
"she's got asthma"? LMAO
Baz Luhrmann is the master of movies that feel like fever dreams at first. Like this movie and Romeo + Juliet.
So many apologies to George Michael, but this is the absolute best version of "Roxanne" out there. And it doesn't hurt that it's accompanied by such an amazing Argentine Tango dance number.
As others have mentioned, John Leguizamo wasn't playing a little person. He was playing someone with a condition that hindered the growth of his bones, which, in combination with an accident as a child that broke both his legs, made him shorter than the average man. However, he wasn't little person. One of only two real historical figures in the movie. Henri Tolouse-Lautrec, a Post-Impressionist painter who spent a lot of time in Montmartre. The Moulin Rouge was/is a real place, a cabaret hall in the Montmartre section of Paris, which was co-founded by Charles Zidler. Though, sadly, he would have been dead two years by the start of the story.
I don’t think you ever caught that John Leguizamo was playing the artist Toulouse-Lautrec, not some random little person.
Moulin Rouge ❤ This is my favorite movie - of all time. Beautifully tragic fable - Christian + Satine 💔 i lnow every scene and all the words to every song 🎵 Baz Luhrman a true visionary. The cinematography, story and incredible music , makes this a masterpiece.
Loved the movie when it came out, watched Moulin Rouge (OBC) when it came out on Broadway, and watch it again when it toured in LA! You should definitely experience it. It has the most gorgeous stage. The songs are more current, but it gives you a fresh take on it.
I've only watched this movie fully though a couple of times I think, but I know so much of the soundtrack word for word.
Romeo+Juliet is epic, you should definitely watch it!
Also something to note-the only original song of Moulin Rouge-Come What May-was actually written for Romeo + Juliet but they ended up not using it. So Baz brought it in for Moulin Rouge.
Great movie and reaction! Baz Luhrmann did an amazing job with this and Ewan McGregor & Nicole Kidman were "spectacular spectacular" & pulled on those heart strings. I've had the chance to see the Broadway production. They updated/changed a lot of the songs for the stage show (Backstage Romance is amazing)...a great show overall with the theater draped ceiling to floor in red...and a windmill and elephant at the front of the stage. Definitely go and see the touring production if it comes to your area.
I love that you two watched/reacted to this one! One of my favorite musicals and that tango Roxanne duet with Ewon is one of my favorite musical numbers
Yesssss!!!!! Love this crazy, insane movie!!
The Broadway production is currently on tour!! Highly recommend it! They do modernize the storyline a little bit, as well as update the song selections, but it's just as good in my opinion. Was literally on the edge of seat the whole time. Hope you guys can catch it when it comes to town!!!
I absolutely love Baz Luhrmann❤ I loved his artistic stylings in all his movies 🍿🎥🎉❤
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!IT IS SO FUN!!!
Best soundtrack!!
I haven't listened in over a decade!! Thanks!
I watched your guys's reaction live! ❤ I absolutely love moulin rouge that used to be my favorite movie as a teenager growing up!
Before I had ever seen this, I woke up one night to find my sister watching it. I was so sleep and it was so trippy that I just went back to bed.
Aaah, I remember watching this movie for the first time. I was 16, with a friend and we had a bottle of wine. We cried so much.
Love this movie. It’s actually a sort of retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Orpheus could charm all living things hence why the moon was singing and the whole town turned on their lights etc. the myth involves him going into the underworld to try to save his live Eurydice
Hands down one of my favorite movies. And thank you for commenting on the ending score song love that song
You guys made my day with this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best musical made for film ever.
One of the greatest romantic tragedies ever filmed. I absolutely love the overlay of the two songs during the Tango de Roxanne sequence.
I don’t know why I cracked up at “it’s pronounced Satan” 🤣 I’m going to like this reaction video haha!
I love how the like a virgin song is all men. Makes it so much funnier.
I have a sleep playlist it is filled with songs that I think are perfect. I have listened practically every night for 12 years. One of them is "Roxanne" from this -- it is and probably always will be a favorite of mine. When Christian cries out at the end, it always makes me bawl.
The show must go on! 🤴
Hello! A curiosity: the Moon is a famous tenor Placido Domingo! Hugs from a Brazilian fan.
Thanks for the info! Much love to Brazil!
I really enjoyed the reaction, the way you recognized the songs the actors and when you said “is this baz?” You are spot on, this was awesome!
This movie was the reason Ewan was chosen to become Lumiere.
I don't know if opera is of any interest to you, but if you get the chance to see a production of La Boheme (1896), I recommend it. Baz Luhrmann produced it in Australia in the early 1990s and modernized it a bit (he set in the 1950s), and you can definitely see how he made the leap to Moulin Rouge. (An aside, La Boheme is also the inspiration for the musical Rent).
By the way the Moon is Placido Domingo
Just want to say after watching your reaction to Man on Fire I immediately subscribed. Man, you 2 are so much fun!
Thanks for subbing. Means a lot!
Ewan and Nicole has SWEET pipes! (Also: Finally figured it out: "Weekend at Bernie's".)
An easter egg on the dvd was a video with Ewan and Nicole singing the duet.
Satine is french for satin 😂 it means "smooth and shiny" like the fabric. As a nane it means the person possessess those qualities not only in appearance but personality "smooth, soft but shiny/sparkles in light"
We were quoting "Wreck It Ralph".
I saw this movie in the cinema when came out…OMG ❤️ the soundtrack was amazing,the movie was so beautiful but the end still breaking my heart everytime
"Romeo + Juliet" is amazing!
PRACTICAL MAGIC REACTION!
It's on the list.
Crazy fact- Moulin Rouge had the highest priced jewelry MADE for the movie coming in at over 1 million dollars. Pretty Woman didn't have that with the necklace that was BORROWED for the movie. The head piece and jewelry at the end while on stage is what I'm talking about.
LOOOOOOVE this movie!!!!
30:25 One of my favorite songs in the movie!
You really should see Romeo + Juliet, but also the third (first!) of the red curtain trilogy, Ballroom Dancing. I love all three but Ballroom is such a classic, an all time great that does not get enough love
Boy George played Zidler great job in NY Broadway. To see him it is posted on You Tube. Moulin Rouge is 133 years old.
I’ve always read this movie as a rock opera mashup between Puccini’s “La Boheme” (an opera Luhrmann has directed) & the Greek myth of Orpheus: full of frequent allusions & metaphors to the underworld, Orpheus’s transformative gift of poetry/song, looking back…etc. More than anything, I think this mythic underpinning to the story is what has contributed to the film’s enduring appeal.
Something else I love about the film no one talks about is the cinematographer, Donald McAlpine. His other beautifully lit & colorful film from around this time is 2003's “Peter Pan.” Nobody seems to remember that film…it’s not amazing, but in many ways it's more joyful & more thoughtful than even its own source material! (The Native tribe, for instance, is an actual tribe in the film...as opposed to Barrie's thoroughly racist depiction in the novel, but I digress.) With how McAlphine lit & shot it, visually it's a super fun companion piece to watch with “Moulin Rouge,” although they’re totally different films.
Last word & hot take...I don't think I'd enjoy this anywhere near as much as a musical: a major aspect of this film has been how it is very, very much a cinematic work. The editing! The sound mixing! The closeups! McAlphine's fairy tale lighting! It's exactly the kind of experience the movies were invented for.
Toulouse Latrec was a real person who had a health condition waist down that affected his height. He wasn’t just a little person. So the casting John was perfectly fine and not problematic cause he wasn’t imitating people with dwarfism and such.
I haven't seen the musical but the soundtrack is amazing. I love Aaron Tveit and have listened to El Tango de Roxanne so many times.
lol I love y’all have a Meatwad on the background 😂
I need that shirt where did you get it? You both need a poll of movies to watch😅
We have like 13 different polls in rotation right now. We rotate more polls than a dancer at Curves. 😂
@@LatetotheParty 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great reaction and yes we need practical magic
is the best misical i see i my life!!!!!!!!
Yeah, the two sides to Zidler is he can play the part of a Stereotypical Pimp, but also has a Caring Pimp side, you know?
The necklace was made for the movie, price was a million in 2001.
Clicked on this as soon as it showed up in my feed! ❤️❤️❤️
Leguizamo was playing Toulouse Latrec, who didn't grow due to childhood trauma.
A little off-topic, but do you guys ever watch figure skating? The winning ice dancing pair at the 2018 Olympics did a Moulin Rouge number that's pretty famous.
This movie isn't perfect, but it's the only one that made me feel the same way an on-stage musical can, specifically the Tango Roxanne number.
Toulouse Lautrec had a condition in his legs that cause the be more shorter than the average, but he was not a little person. So the representation is not wrong in the movie 😊
Romeo and Juliet is a MUST!!!
Def would recommend Romeo and Juliet.
Amazing movie
Wow I haven’t watched this since back when it came out.
Honestly all I remember is Nicole Kidman being incredibly hot in it and John Leguizamo playing some kind of little person.
Henri Toulouse-Lautrec was a real person - an artist as well as a designer for posters for the Moulin Rouge. He had some sort of a condition so when he had an accident as an adolescent his legs basically stopped growing so he had the torso of a full-grown man on the legs of an adolescent the rest of his life. His family was aristocracy (his parents were cousins) who could trace their family back to the time of Charlemagne, but he felt out of place and rejected by them because of his legs and felt more at home with the artists and prostitutes of Montmartre.
Great reaction! It is very interesting to see your reaction to the film Robocop 1987. This is a cool movie 👍🔥
Not you figuring out the end in the first 10 minutes 😭
All thanks to Doc Holliday and Tombstone.
Juuuuuust saying.... we have Moulin Rouge the play here in London
Be right there. 😉
Where'd ya get the 'Bernie' t-shirt?
Great film loved it
It's a shame to watch this movie in a small screen and without a badass home theater surround sound system.
What's the chances we can get Vanessa to review Taylor Swift's Eras Tour film?
I love this but I wonder if young audiences will without getting half the song references. My 19 year old missed a lot of them.
took me 2 mins, until WKAB..
Obi Wan sings....
Obi Wan is a vocal god!
@LatetotheParty Vanessa i too sing the whole time as well.
PLEASE TELL ME you guys are gonna react to Les Miserables. I saw it was one neither of you have watched and you haven't reacted to it since this video.
It lost by 1 point to Chicago. But we will definitely get to it.
@@LatetotheParty genuinely... how?! ok ok fairs fair but I still cannot wait! The fact that neither of you have seen it and therefore it's gonna be an equal reaction is whats keeping me going rn. Also i dont care what anyone says; russell crowe is a brilliant Javert.
@@LatetotheParty I'd like to add that you probably know this already but just in case you don't; Les Miserables was the first musical movie to be done LIVE. so instead of recording the songs and putting those recordings over the actual scenes, they were sung LIVE. Anne Hathaway's perf of I Dreamed A Dream was one take. She asked to do 7 other takes but they chose her first. They did it because they wanted the acting to be as important as the singing hence it being done live. Makes it even more incredible.
funny thing is Nicole Kidman name is satine in this..... in the clone wars obi wan love is also named satine who is based on evan
We say that.
This is going to sound funny. But the first time I saw this film, I didn't pay too much attention at the beginning nor I saw that she was coughing because of the TB... I saw her coughing later and then was the corset thing, when the woman is tighten it. So, fast forward when comes the end and I thought Satine died because the corset was too tight... sorry hahaha but it was real, I was like 15 😂😂
🤣 Well I completely missed that one of the guys had narcolepsy, so I'm right there with you! - Robert
❤❤❤
Damn, Vanessa, how many times? 😄
I've always hated the way Christian treated Satine when he thought she broke up with him, regardless him throwing her on the ground and tossing money at her was unacceptable. His character was very selfish and immature, but love your reaction and love the musical especially Roxanne.
If you go back to the middle, he's actually playing the original plot of the Spectecular Spectecular through, where the Penniless Sitarplayer does exactly as he does: throws money at her and thanks her for "curing him of his ridiculous obsession with love". Which is when - haha - the magical Sitar says its lines ("the greatest thing ....") and Satine sings their Secret Song to make him see that it was never true.
Christian even says "I was filled with doubts. And I had to know and there was only one way to find out the truth".
But when I first watched it and the second time, too, I found his actions just as appalling. It's only recently that I realized it was a play to make her be truthful. ALTHOUGH I think that he went a 'bit' overboard when they were still behind the curtain.
hi, have you guys seen 27 dresses - late to the party
Robert hasn't.
