Moulin Rouge - Amor em vermelho(Austrália-EUA, 2001)
Christian (Ewan McGregor) é um jovem escritor que possui um dom para a poesia e que enfrenta seu pai para poder se mudar para o bairro boêmio de Montmartre, em Paris. Lá ele recebe o apoio de Henri de Toulouse-Latrec (John Leguizamo), que o ajuda a participar da vida social e cultural do local, que gira em torno do Moulin Rouge, uma boate que possui um mundo próprio de sexo, drogas, adrenalina e Can-Can. Ao visitar o local, Christian logo se apaixona por Satine (Nicole Kidman), a mais bela cortesã de Paris e estrela maior do Moulin Rouge.
Assisti recentemente (sim, só agora) e desde já o considero um clássico! “O primeiro musical em 23 anos a ser indicado para o Oscar de Melhor filme”. Realmente viciante!!! Sem contar que foi baseado na história de Orfeu, sua trilha sonora é composta com trechos de letras de Pink Floyd(Another brick in the wall, parte 2), FatBoy Slim(´Cause you can can-can!!! Maluca esta aqui também!), Madonna(Material girl; Like a virgin), Beatles(All you need is love), entre outros, mas cantados em pleno final do séc. XIX! Idéia fantástica sim, mas que ficou bom por ter sido realizado de forma igualmente fantástica! Grande mérito ao diretor Bazmark Luhrmann, o mesmo de “Romeu e Julieta”(1996) e “Vem dançar comigo”(1992). Bazmark também escreveu o roteiro deste filme junto com seu amigo de infância Craig Pearce.
Eis aqui uma das cenas em que Ewan McGregor e Nicole Kidman cantam dialogando este ótimo “The elephant love song medley”…
Quantas músicas vocês conseguem encontrar?
ELEPHANT LOVE SONG MEDLEY
Ewan McGregor, Nicole Kidman and Jamie Allen
I can´t fall in love with anyone.
Can´t fall in love?
But, a life without love, that´s terrible!
No! Being on the streets, that´s terrible!
No! Love is like oxigen!
What!?
Love is a many-splended thing, love lifts us up where we belong, all you need is love!
Please, don’t start that again.
All you need is love.
A girl has got to eat!
All you need is love.
She’ll end up on the streets!
All you need is love.
Love is just a game.
I was made for loving you baby, You were made for loving me.
The only way of loving me baby, Is to pay a lovely fee.
Just one night, Give me just one night.
There’s no way, ‘Cause you can’t pay.
In the name of love, One night in the name of love.
You crazy fool, I won’t give in to you.
Don’t leave me this way.
I can’t survive without your sweet love, Oh baby, don’t leave me this way.
You’d think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.
I look around me and I see it isn’t so, oh no.
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs.
And what’s wrong with that, I’d like to know ‘Cause here I go, again.
Love lifts us up where we belong, Where eagles fly on a mountain high.
Love makes us act like we are fools, Throw our lives away for one happy day.
We could be heroes, just for one day!
You, you will be mean.
No, I won’t.
And I, I’ll drink all the time.
We should be lovers.
We can’t do that.
We should be lovers, and that’s a fact.
Though nothing will keep us together,
We could steal time,
Just for one day.
We could be heroes, forever and ever,
We could be heroes forever and ever…
And I will always love you.
I can’t help loving you…
How wonderful life is…
Now you’re in the world.
