#moulinrouge

Before I get executed, I wasn't born yet when the movie came out and there was no way my parents would've let me watch it growing up. But I got my chance in an airplane ride last week. Anyway, now I totally understand the hype for it. We love a movie musical that understands it is a movie musical and fully embraces camp. The extravagant set that makes no sense, the glamorous costumes, and the editing *chefs kiss* extremely whimsical and wacky. All the actors really sold their roles too. The discography is amazing, I was already entertained when they sung Nirvana but almost lost it on the plane when they started to sing "Like a Virgin". Excellent no notes.

La reconocida rapera Megan Thee Stallion fue hospitalizada de urgencia luego de sentirse repentinamente mal durante una función del musical Moulin Rouge!

1. In 1887, the Eiffel Tower was not yet finished, but it already had its red color which it will keep until 1906.

2 The Moulin Rouge was the first Parisian building to use electricity because it needed a sign that could be seen from far away all night long.

3. The Place and the Pont Saint Michel have not changed since 1900, unlike Notre-Dame which has lost its spire for a few years. It will be rebuilt identically in a few years.

4 The Statue of Liberty, a gift from France to the United States, already looked great in its Parisian construction workshop in 1884, two years before its inauguration in New York.
