Moulin Rouge! (2001)
No laws. No limits. One rule. Never fall in love.

Desde hace tiempo quería ver esta cinta, y justo ayer se me presentó la oportunidad. Debo decir que soy una persona muy crítica con los musicales. Considero que capturar la esencia de la música no es un asunto sencillo, y creo que esta película lo logró. Me cautivó.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

Yo prefiero pensar en una frase más precisa: "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved one more time". Quizá el amor como obsesión no tiene un futuro tan preciso. No obstante, en esta cinta, Satine y Christian logran transmitir una idea muy bella del significado del amor.

My gift is my song
and this one's for you
and you can tell everybody
that this is your song
it may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
that I put down in words
how wonderful life is
now you're in the world

Visualmente es una maravilla. La verdad, la belleza, la libertad, el amor.

Never knew I could feel like this
like I've never seen the sky before
want to vanish inside your kiss,
every day I'm loving you more and more
listen to my heart, can you hear it sing?
come back to me- and forgive everything...
seasons may change, winter to spring
I love you 'til the end of time

Dirigida por Baz Luhrmann, con la actuación de Nicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor, John Leguizamo, Jim Broadbent y Richard Roxburgh, es una historia de amor muy, muy recomendada.

Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months. And then, one not-so-very special day, I went to my typewriter, I sat down, and I wrote our story. A story about a time, a story about a place, a story about the people. But above all things, a story about love. A love that will live forever. The End.
