Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the reaction! See you next for Robin Hood and a surprise movie!
Really hope this is Disney’s Robin Hood?! One of my favourites, the music is amazing. Hope you enjoy it Nick! Great reactions as always. ✌️❤️ & respect.
Disney's robin hood or the one where Jamie Foxx played little john?
It’s the Disney Robin Hood!
@@nickflix8657 Can’t wait! ☺️
@@nickflix8657 oh good. I dont recommend the Jamie Foxx one
I watched this movie religiously when I was 10 years old and the Roxanne tango scene was my favorite. And Ewan McGregor has a beautiful voice.
Same me and my mother watched it over and over again
Same ❤️🖤🤍
We had the same childhood I see
Saaame
The mood through that whole sequence is absolutely incredible. I was in college when this came out and my roommate was on the university ball room dance team. Suffice it to say this film played extensively. :D Thankfully it's a really good movie.
Henry Ziegler is played by Jim Broadbent. He was Professor Slughorn from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
He also played the father of bridget jones
@@marcomatroso3575 Same
Omg, I never knew!
Also in Hot Fuzz
@@Probablylani And in Only Fools and Horses
I’ve never clicked on a video so fast. This movie makes me WEEP EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. 😭
Me too.
@@entertainmentlife430 Same
When Ewan weeps, I weep lol
@@barnabasstewart4104 me too so beautiful
@@entertainmentlife430 Same very beautiful
Nick: “why is no one worried about the gun??”
Every theatre kid: THE SHOW MUST GO ON
As a former theatre kid: Yes🤣
Nicole Kidman actually learned HOW to sing for this movie. Ewan McGregor had already sung before in _A Life Less Ordinary_ but this was her first singing role. They had to do a lot of post-production audio work to make it sound as _clear and clean_ as it does, but it works. She's honestly STUNNING in this movie. 💜
(I was in high school when this came out and I was OBSESSED with it. I even named my first car Toulouse because of both the character in the movie and the real Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, the painter. His paintings that he did at the REAL Moulin Rouge back then are gorgeous in their movement!)
how does one even forget Velvet Goldmine? Ewan blew my mind singing Gimme Danger. he has a fantastic voice.
@@PYC334 Shit, I don't know how I forgot _Velvet Goldmine,_ either! Yes, he was amazing in that as well. I think Nick should react to _Shallow Grave,_ too... so underrated.
Moulin Rouge is a genre that's known as a "Jukebox Musical" where they take popular songs and make different renditions that fit the film. Moulin Rouge does it well imo
Yesss!!! I’ve seen some movies try to do this and fail miserably, *cough* Cinderella (2021) *cough*. But she this movie and the ones that you mentioned pulled it off marvelously. (Not saying that I didn’t enjoy the music from the 2021 Cinderella, I did, but it was the original songs that I liked. Not so much the other ones bc it felt like they didn’t fit w/ the movie nor the scene.)
Not sure if you'll figure it out later or not, but I just saw the part where you said he thought he was Professor Slughorn, and then said he wasn't....you were right the first time...it is!!!
I figured it out once I finished the movie😂😂
@@nickflix8657 Yeah Jim Broadbent is an AMAZING actor who's been in so many amazing movies. Another one I recommend with him in is Gangs of New York. :)
But sadly it's not his singing voice for most of it. It is a very believable match though.
Never apologize for being emotional! That’s why you’re my favorite reactor. You give honesty and feelings and we feel them with you. Fuck, half the time I’m either crying along with you or cry because you’re crying and I can’t give you a huge hug! WE DO NOT CARE IF YOU ARE SHOWING YOUR HUMAN SIDE BECAUSE WE ADORE YOU ENOUGH TO LOVE THAT ABOUT YOU… at least, I do.
Cry with me and I’ll cry with you… and we can be heroes, if just for one day
The thing I adore about the ending is that Christian didn't learn why she hurt him, he just heard her singing their song and forgave her, no questions asked.
So "Come What May" their secret love song to each other is the only original song created for the film. And I agree completely, their voices together and their chemistry together just makes this film so heartbreaking.
One of the most EPIC beginnings of a film. Chills every time
I've been able to make so many grown men cry by simply showing them this movie and I will never be stopped
The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return.
Thanks for this Nick, I’ve been waiting for this ❤️ hope you’re feeling better!
I am! Thanks for asking.
I have no problem with the way you edit them. Do whatever is most convenient for you because it will still be entertaining.
Entertained* right? ^^
@@hinatainreallife5879 i think this sentence is grammatically correct. *insert grammarly meme*
@@hinatainreallife5879 no.. - Entertaining
Emotional Rollercoaster time? Let's play. The song you commented on at the 42 minute mark was one of the last songs Queen created. It was written about their lead singer, Freddie Mercury, who was dying of AIDS. It is asking the listener to enjoy life while they still can, which is haunting in both the movie and reality.
I loved the way they turned Roxanne into a tango and have always loved the duet I Will Love You.
The Australian director, Baz Luhrman, also did a modern, avant garde film version of Romeo and Juliet (1996). I Will Love You was originally intended for this movie. If you’re on the search for more musical fare, there’s nothing quite as “traditional” as Fiddler on the Roof (1971).
There are so many classic musicals I'd recommend. West Side Story. My Fair Lady. The King and I.
Oh gosh, My Fair Lady is such a good recommendation, I didn't even think of that! Hope he does that one one day :))
Little Shop Of Horror ! Rocky Horror Picture Show ! Across The Universe (it uses the Beatles songs)...
All of these plus An American in Paris, Cabaret, Chicago, Cinderella (Brandy and Whitney Houston version), Dreamgirls, Easter Parade, Funny Girl, Gigi, Grease, Hairspray, The Harvey Girls, Mamma Mia, Mary Poppins, Mary Poppins Returns, Meet Me in St. Louis, Oliver!, On the Town, Singin’ in the Rain, A Star is Born (Judy Garland version), Summer Stock and White Christmas!
Baz Luhrman also directed the opera La Boheme on broadway. And one of the set pieces was the lighted sign that says “l’amour”. He also used the sign in Moulin Rouge
Cool fact: The name of Obi-wan's love interest in SWTCW was Satin! The writers were huge fans of Moulin Rouge.
From what i've read, it wasn't the whole team, it was just one writer who proposed that name during the brainstorming. Filoni liked it and chose this one, only learning later where it came from. (but cool anyway)
I noticed the parallels as well, I figured Christian's reaction to Satine's death was how Obi-Wan would have reacted had he not been so devoted to the code but what he may have been feeling on the inside anyway.
@@AnimeManiac1987 I just made that connection. Thanks for the info.
@@josephguillerey4391 the writer had a good idea for names
Ewan Mcgregor in this film is EVERYTHING
Honestly, you’re the best person to react to this film because you are very empathetic and you get so emotional. It was great to see you getting excited about the visuals, getting caught up in the drama and appreciating the romance. It was really entertaining watching this with you.
I like that they added a bit of history - I mean Toulouse. In reality, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec created a lot of paintings featuring cabaret dancers. (Though he was no a dwarf - he had both his legs broken as a child, and as a result, they did not develop correctly, so he looked as if an adult's body was put on top of a child's legs)
This movie is part of what's called the Red Curtain Trilogy. The director told three stories, one with music (Moulin Rouge). One with words (Romeo And Juliet, the one from the 90's with Leonardo DiCaprio). And one with dance, (Strictly Ballroom).
I HIGHLY recommend watching the other two. They are both great movies and you can really see what the director was going for after watching them all.
Man the first time hearing Ewan McGregor’s voice is like heaven on earth
I can’t even listen to the sound track without becoming an absolute WRECK. A top five movie for me!
ooh musicals! If you haven't watched them before, "Little Shop of Horrors" and "Rocky Horror Picture Show" are Classics
Yes 👏 we need more musical reactions
This is the movie that made me fall head over heels in love with Ewan McGregor. Another great reaction, Nick!
I honestly forgot how funny Moulin Rouge is when it's not ending and causing pain! This was my weird comfort movie at some point like some scenes still give me comfort to this day
SO EXCITED THAT I CAME HERE TO SAY THE ELEPHANT LOVE MEDLEY IS THE BEST PART OF THE MOVIE NEXT TO ROXANNE
Nominated For 8 Oscars including Best Picture but won for:
Best Costume Design
Best Production Design
It was nominated for:
Best Picture
Best Actress
Best Sound Editing
Best Makeup
Best Film Editing.
Well
It's a crime because
Nicole is freakin amazing as Satine
The actor who plays Toulouse also plays a very familiar sloth that you may know…
He’s also in Baz’s modern version of Romeo and Juliet
Yeeees you reacted to this masterpiece. I am always tearing up at the end. But always smiling seeing Kylie Minogue as the green fairy. I wanna see here drinking absinth.
This movie did a really nice job with historically accurate details. The Moulin Rouge is where the CanCan dance was invented, there did used to be a large elephant structure for people to rent and themed rooms such as the the gothic room. I also like how they included Toulouse Lautrec. He was a prominent artist of the time and lived in this neighborhood in France. He used to paint what many referred to as lower society such as the dancers/courtesans of the Moulin Rouge and was known to depict and partake in substances such as Absinthe which, at the time, contained mild hallucinogens where many people saw "the green fairy" likely due to its signature colour of green
This is one of my favourite movies of all time! El tango de roxannne is just pure freaking epicness 😍🔥 love your reactions❤️
I saw this at the perfect age and situation - at 17 years old after a bad breakup - to fall in love with this movie and excuse some of the more problematic aspects of the story and characterization for a long time.
To this day, I often sing this film's version of "Like a Virgin" with Weird Al's "Like a Surgeon" lyrics
P.S. I forgot when I was writing this before, but Moulin Rouge and Attack of the Clones were filmed on the same soundstage, and Ewan McGregor noted it was trippy watching the sets for the first be slowly replaced with the sets for the second (being he was in both, he stuck around inbetween)
The Duke : she is mine 🙂
Nick: no😐.
😂💖
I can't watch this without crying.
I still don’t understand why many people literally hate musicals. I wish they had a superhero musical lol. Great reaction Nick, as always!
They've tried many times to have superhero musicals. The few that are in any way famous are more infamous.
Good choice, this is such a great mashup of a musical! Sad but so well done. Also, your editing is just fine, don't worry about it.
A few musicals you should totally add to your polls as you'll for sure enjoy them: Rocky Horror Picture Show, Little Shop of Horrors, the Nightmare Before Christmas, Singin' in the Rain, My Fair Lady, the Phantom of the Opera, West Side Story, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971 original!), Chicago, Hairspray and Sweeney Todd
Yes I would love a reaction to all of those. Rocky Horror, Phantom, Willy Wonka and Hairspray especially. Love all of them though.
5000 Fingers of Dr. T. (1953 by Dr Seuss) has fun songs.
Harold WAS played by Jim Broadbent, the guy who played Prof. Slughorn. 😊
Also, you don't have to push yourself not to get emotional for these videos. I think it's awesome and one of the reasons that I watch you. It's real. ❤️
Yes, it's professor Slughorn. Jim Broadbent won a BAFTA for this.
I was hesitant to watch this with you, because you have such a tender heart, same as I, that you'd really break me up, and this movie is hard enough for me, even as beautiful as it is. What the hell, though. What are tear ducts for, anyway?
Finding and losing profound love just kills me. It has happened enough to me, and it gets easier over time, but it doesn't go away. This movie just lights up my last nerve.
"ohh so she works at that nightclub!" "this movie is much more sexual than i thought it would be"....what a poor innocent soul...its literally called moulin rouge....hahahaahah
love this movie. everything. the music, the colours, the madness of the editing...and Ewan's singing...perf
but if you liked this, why not Romeo+Juliet by the same director? he made it before this one and it was made the same...but on a bit less steroids, i would say ahhahahaahah
The "beautiful voice" at the very beginning us David Bowie, if my memory serves me correctly
Also check out another incredibly done musical, "Chicago"!
Your unbridled emotional responses to these movies are a joy to watch. Thanks.
I was blown away by Ewan McGregor's singing ability. And the "Like a Virgin" number was over the top hilarious.
Fun Fact: the part of Audrey (at the beginning of the film) was played by a man, Australian actor David Wenham. He would go on to play the part of Feramir in Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
I haven't scrolled through all your videos yet (just recently discovered your channel), but if you like this you should take a look at Baz Lurman's "Romeo & Juliet" with Leonardo DiCaprio and Clare Danes.
I thought I was going to bust a gut waiting for you to do this one. I remember sitting in the theater and being completely blown away having gone in thinking it was going to suck. This movie was nominated along with THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING for Best Picutre of 2001. They both lost to a movie about math. No one cares about the winner A BEAUTIFUL MIND. But FELLOWSHIP and MOULIN ROUGE! are beloved by film fans the world over and will be remembered for 1,000 years. Don't ever trust the Oscars. They're dumb.
That is Professor Slughorn. That is Obi Wan Kenobi. That is Faramir. Honestly, when this film came out no one knew Nicole Kidman had it in her. She was mostly thought of as a pretty good actress who was Mrs. Tom Cruise. Ewan McGregor was a respected actor who had done another "musical" called VELVET GOLDMINE, which I adore, but it hadn't had the response at the time. People actually thought he couldn't sing, which is weird looking back. Almost every song in here is a previous pop hit. The Elephant Love Medley (24:48) is a bunch of hits mixed together. They ended up making this movie into a proper musical. I saw it in Boston before it went to Broadway. It should be starting back up again now that Broadways is back on.
If you haven't seen the live action BEAUTY & THE BEAST you should as Ewan plays Lumiere. I liked it just as much as the animated version.
Since you seemed to like Baz Luhrmann's style of directing, I'd highly recommmend his version of Romeo and Juliet. It's not as colorful or as visually stunning as Moulin Rouge, but it has the same kind of camera work. It's a really good version of it, IMO. Also, if you like Ewan McGregor, I highly recommend Tim Burton's Big Fish. It's an awesome movie. Very fantastical.
Agreed on both suggestions. Both are great movies!
romeo+juliet is such a good adaptation. my college shakespeare prof said it was one of the most faithful adaptations, as it contains the most of the original play!
Baz Luhrmann has a distinctive style, that's for sure. If you're a fan and want _Romeo + Juliet,_ why not add the third in his "Red Curtain Trilogy," too? It's the very quirky and entertaining _Strictly Ballroom,_ which embraces both the fun and the absurdity of competitive ballroom dance.
Day three (although late!) of commenting until Nick watches one of the following movies -
Babe (1995)
Ever After (1998)
I have seen so many creative remakes of the Roxanne Tango, but the original is just so wonderful!
This movie is honestly one of my favourites! It’s always had a massive impact on me, but also Baz Luhrmann’s version of Romeo and Juliet is definitely worth a watch! Same style of filming and camera shots/angles, and the actor who does the part of Toulouse in this movie is in it too!
Yes Romeo and Juliette incredibly good!
Your emotional reaction is so honest and sweet. I had the honor of seeing the Moulin Rouge Musical in New York a few months ago and saw the movie, too and loved it. I'll never forget that night on Broadway, so powerful ❤
Fun fact, the dwarf character was played by John Leguizamo who was also the voice of Sid the sloth in the Ice Age movies!
Instant click and instant like! This is one of my ALL TIME favorite movies!!
Ah, Moulin Rouge. A classic example of what is known as a Jukebox musical. This is where instead of having original music, existing songs are retrofitted to fit the setting. But thats not necessarily a bad thing! I think this movie does that pretty well!
Also, im not clear on what exactly Satine died of, but I assume it was some form of consumption given the time period.
pretty sure “come what may” is an original for the movie! also, based on the time period and how many times she coughed up blood, satine most likely had consumption (tuberculosis).
The doctor says it is consumption at 31:55.
I still listen to this soundtrack often. Such a beautiful movie. 💖
I love this movie so much, I remember watching for the first time when I was a teenager and being blown away, I had never seen anything like it and the emotion in it is so powerful. 20 years later I've watched it countless times and it still makes me cry every time. I walked down the aisle to an instrumental of Come What May as well so that makes it even more special to me.
Been waiting for this!!!! So happy!
This is one of my favorites! And I still cry every time too.
Also yes, that absolutely IS Professor Slughorn. lol.
I forgot how much of a drug trip this movie was 😆😆😆
so excited to watch this!! my favourite commentator watching one of my favourite movies 💕
That last cry at the end of this film breaks me every time. Its a beautiful but sad story
This movie affects me in so many different ways. I don't like the whole first part, it's too rushed and nonsensical, but once it finds its pace and story, it becomes really beautiful. I appreciate how Come What May is the only original song on the soundtrack, everything else is adapted from classic pop love songs. Nicole Kidman is glorious and Ewan McGregor is fantastic, the way he shouts "go away" at 44:08 changed the meaning of those two words for me, I had never understood how primal they are. The whole aesthetic just makes sense, so the more outlandish sequences still work. Every time I watch it or listen to the soundtrack I'm an angsty teenager again, it's just really lovely.
YESSS! I FREAKING LOVE THIS MOVIE!
When you started crying during "Come What May".. same.
I felt that. It's a freaking beautiful song and it makes you feel things.
Yesssss!! This movie is one of the most surprising I’ve seen!
I gasped! So excited to watch this after work! Moulin Rouge is one of my favorite movies/musicals of all time, it will be so fun to watch what you think of them and yes.. inevitably Cry with you haha
Still my favorite movie ever. Before this, I had only ever seen Ewan McGregor in "Trainspotting". I never could have guessed he could sing like that!
The Director, Baz Luhrmann, is a phenomenon. If you have not seen the 90's "William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet", he did that one and it is brilliant. Set on the modern world, yet true to the original script.
Another Luhrmann masterpiece, also starring Kidman along side Hugh Jackman, is "Australia". So few have reacted to that one. It is epic!
One of my all time favorite movies!!! So happy you are reacting to it.
I have not seen this movie in years, I have always loved it - and you watching it now and me, it reminded me of how I truly in my own heart see love, the passion. Thank you, and never say sorry for being emotional, I cry with you every time, hehe 💖
Love, love, love this movie and the unconventional music choices.
Professor Slughorn (Harry Potter) is the Master of Ceremonies.
Christian was Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast.
Moulin Rouge is a real place you can still go to and they invented the can-can dance.
Toulous Lautrec was a real painter. Congenial problems with his legs and painted many of the characters in the night club. If you knew the paintings you would recognize some of the dancers.

He was on the Graham Norton show and told a funny story about them insisting on a voice coach for a French accent. He was taken aback because he has been married to a French woman for many years and thought his accent was OK. He's quite funny.
The soundtrack is on fire. The songs between Nicole and Ewan are gorgeous, and I am forever haunted by that Roxanne mashup. It's visually gorgeous too.
I agree with your rating, I think... the film is good, but I think what I love most is the music and the visual quality of it.
OMG! This is one of my all time favorite movies ever! Ewan McGregor, Nicole Kidman and Jim Broadbent were amazing! If you want to keep watching musicals i highly recommend the classic "Singin' In The Rain" (1952) since it's absolutely great and actually considered as the best musical ever by many. As musicals go, that one is a MUST! Also if you like the style of Baz Luhrmann as a director, he did a pretty good version of Romeo and Juliet in the mid 90s called Romeo+Juliet (1996) that i'm sure you would enjoy. And if you are curious about other singing roles by Ewan McGregor i recommend the underrated gem "Velvet Goldmine" (1998) directed by Todd Haynes. Thanks a lot for your reaction Nick, i loved it!
I think this movie is vaguely based on the book "The lady of the camelia", where the same happens but it was sadder because (spoiler) he wasn't there when she died, and he had been looked for her for months after insulting her. When he found out where she was, it was too late. So, the movie has a sort of happier ending. ^^
It is indirectly based on that story. It was based on the opera La Vie Boheme which is based on that novella.
@@sassyseraphify Thank you! I must watch it.
I think i figured out one aspect of your videos that makes them stand out and keeps me coming back: You getting so wrapped up that your commentary turns to suspenseful whispers. Like you are trying to keep your voice down for everyone else in the audience. :)
Good stuff as always!
I loved this jukebox movie musical! I was fortunate enough to watch the Broadway musical before the pandemic shutdown last year and it was amazing! I'm so glad you reacted to this. Next you should watch Sweeney Todd since you're on a roll with movie musicals.
Absinthe is generally infused with wormwood and marigold seed in other countries to give it a hallucinogenic effect. The stuff you can buy in the USA just has the alcohol, not the infusions.
Not technically accurate, Absinthe always has wormwood as it's one of its defining flavor profiles. There's a legal limitation on the amount of thujone allowed in modern absinthe - the compound in wormwood that in large quantities can cause hallucinations. However most tales of tripping on absinthe isn't from thujone at all, but because in the 1800s it was expensive to produce so people would make knock off absinthe and make it green using arsenic lol
I love the look of this movie, the music, the pacing and editing. I really like musicals when they're well done like this. You might like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, a romantic comedy with iconic musical numbers. My favorite musical is probably Funny Girl.
If you liked the trippy effects in this movie you might like Across The Universe, if you haven't seen it already
_Moulin Rouge!_ is such a class film. Always love seeing it.
This is one of my all time favorite movies. If you turn it off right after the curtain goes down on the show it's like the best feel good movie ever made. Whether I watch the scene where Satine dies depends on if I want a happy movie or a tearful movie. All depends on my mood.
This is one of my favorite movies ever. Even though I always cry my heart out at the end.
And its my favourite musical. Although the only song written for the film was "Come what may". The sing choice was brilliant ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love your reactions!! This was one of my favorite movies growing up, I'm glad you liked it! :)
Watching you become enthralled by the music and visuals, I felt like I was enjoying this movie for the first time, too! I don't know how I forgot this film in my rotation, but it's back on. Subscribed to see more of your wonderful reactions!
I absolutely love this movie and your reaction. What an emotional rollercoaster. Starts light, funny and silly, then turns into a deeply emotional drama. Love how you kept thinking "is this where she dies?" :D The first time I saw this movie, the fact that she dies just didn´t register in my brain. I remember being so shocked when she did indeed die at the end. So heartbroken.
Someone pointed out that after she says “I’ll always be with you”, in the next scene while he is typing, he has the bird in the cage that she always had in her room.
if you have heard the originals of all the songs that are combined to make some of the show songs you can appreciate more the quirkiness of some of the performances.. like Madonna's like a virgin.. and all the little lines that go into the love medely.. when he sings "I was Made for lovin' you baby".. with that swagger like Elvis is so touching .. there are some making of videos you might enjoy that tell some of the song compilations and how they chose what they did.. Come what May is still the best and of course when he sings walking back up the aisle to the stage is my favorite
I absolutely fell in love with Moulin Rouge back in highschool. It’s the reason why I became such a big fan of both Nicole Kidman and Ewan Mcgregor. I loved the soundtrack so much and still plan on getting “Come what may” as a tattoo. The message runs deep to me.
Also, yes that IS Professor Slughorn XD
This movie is a favorite as well. Your reaction to the story and the characters was beautiful to watch. I saw this in the theater when it came out, and no one expected what we got.
ugh, even on a reaction video, that last scene kills me! Ewan's raw cry/scream was just gut-wrenching.
One of my absolute favorite movies, it's damn near perfect.
"surely he must look back..?" as Satine reprises Come What May.
This is Orpheus in the Underworld. She lives, only if he leaves the underworld without looking back.
Meta, upon meta, upon meta
The song "The Show Must Go On" was originally recorded by Queen. It was one of Freddy Mercury's last songs. It was recorded in one take, and Mercury was dying of AIDS complications at the time. And imo it's one of his best and most powerful songs. If you've never heard it, I highly recommend finding a recording of it.
This is one of my top movies of all time! I LOVE THE music so much. I know you recognized sound of music but they take from so many other pop/artists like Elton John, Whitney Houston, Pavarotti! Look into the soundtrack bc it’s truly amazing. ALSO if u haven’t watch LALALAND that should be something u should watch VERY SOON!
I had to write essays on a bunch of the director's movies in high school, and this was one of them. That was something I got top marks on, but then again, I remember watching a bit of it when I was in middle school . I don't remember much, just associating it with tuberculosis. Ever since, I've associated the title with lung disease and blood. I'm glad I know how beautiful this movie really is. Like, I knew on the rewatch when I saw the full thing that Satine was going to die, but I didn't know how colourful and fun it was going to be. It's a jukebox musical through and through.
Can someone explain how many songs Satine does in her first musical number? I can hear Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend and Material Girl, but there's something else. Diamonds never mentioned feeding a cat, for example (the line was about help at the automat).
Good eye, that is Prof Slughorn. And young obi wan. And Luigi Mario. And Chase Meridian.
Please consider LEGEND with Tom Cruise and Tim Curry. I think it's right up your alley
I’m amazed at how well the songs fit into this like they were all written for it
One of my favourite movies and best musicals. Ewans voice is so special and wonderful.
Funfact though: Spectacular Spectacular they are performing, is a story about a girl living off a rich man (literally only offering him her body) and having a secret relationship with a poor guy. Yet they are performing it for the rich audience (mostly men, as you can see), which is in fact living exact the same way, especially at that time period. It was common (or at least not rare) for a rich man to have a non-love-business marriage and also a mistress, which the wife often was aware about. Yet the girl in the musical clearly lives for the poor guy, as it was the idea of the romantism - love over money. So they are basically telling the audience - you are rich, but your relationships suck. Great musical, wrong audience lol ~
Saw this in theatres on my 16th birthday. Love it and its music to this day, and I'm now 35 😉
When I saw you were reacting to this, I was so expectant!! So pure as always ☺️ you’re awesome! I revive these films thanks yo you
