If I had a nickel for every time a character played by Ewan McGregor lost a woman they loved named Satine, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
I really really love how they mixed tango, classic instrumental/choir and then drums and guitars at the climax it just makes my entire soul blow up, wtf, why doesn't it have the recognition it deserved??????????????
My cousin said right before we watched it said he thinks it is a better love story than Romeo and Juliet And I mean Ewen McGregor is in it as the lead and it’s really him singing
Jacek Koman's raspy voice is just everything! Ewan McGregor also amazing! Plus that Spanish part! This is pure art for me. I have goosebumps every time I hear this song. Breathtaking!!!
It sounds like the musical equivalent of a forest fire, all of the emotions anger, sadness, betrayal. All of it just boiling it over into one big super nova of emotion.
The Spanish part in English 2:41 And I, that I love you so much, what I am going to do? You leave me, you leave me, my soul goes, my heart goes...and I no longer want to live because I can't convince to don't sell yourself, Roxanne. The voice is from Jose Feliciano, an important Latin singer, from Puerto Rico.
A fellow dancer in a dance show I'm in has a solo to this song. It is literally the best performance I've ever seen in my life. She dances with so much passion and her movements are so powerful. I get chills everytime. That's the reason I love this song so much.
Z Ma that's what I love about Moulin Rouge. They grab songs that have been popular to get a variety of viewers with known songs and songs done with very famous actors and/or singers.
This song is the perfect mix of chaos and beauty. There’s so many different moving pieces it almost makes you dizzy, but it’s so stunning and mesmerizing.
you can actually feel the emotions that Ewan Mcgregor put in this song (along with the raspy voice dude, forgot his name haha), and that just says a lot about this masterpiece of a film. I haven't watched the movie, but it's on my Must-Watch list!
the raspiness, the growls of each sentence, the violins, ewan’s soft voice, the emotions in the voices, etc. pure amazingness! oh and of course, the random dita von teess photo used for this lyric video lol.
Lord Poms For a minute I thought you were saying Sweeney (Benjamin Barker) was rapey stepdad and I was about to fight you but I got it after a few seconds lol
It started storming outside while I was listening to this in my headphones and let me tell you that it was one of the most epic things I have ever experienced.
Hello I want to watch this with my parents and I was wondering if there were any spicy scenes in it that my parents would wonder how I know this movie. I have never watched it but I want to watch it with my family and i am not sure.
Give me the right to call this song a feeling bomb. All my feelings burst out. Depression, passion, love, happiness, loneliness, anxiety, sadness, fear, jealousy. And all this happened in a 4-minutes- tango song. And I'm not even in love to someone to feel the lyrics that much. Magnificent! 🖤
Will drive you. Will drive you. Will drive you. Mad! Roxanne You don't have to put on that red light Walk the streets for money You don't care if it's wrong or if it is right Roxanne You don't have to wear that dress tonight Roxanne You don't have to sell your body to the night His eyes upon your face His hand upon your hand His lips caress your skin It's more than I can stand! Christian: Why does my heart cry? Tango dancer: Roxanne! (ect.) Christian: Feelings I can't fight! You're free to leave me but Just don't deceive me! ...and please believe me when I say I love you! Why yo que te quiero tanto que voy hacer Me dejaste, me dejaste por un montón de monedas El alma se me fue Se me fue el corazón Ya no tengo ganas de vivir Porque no te puedo convencer Que no te vendas corazón Tango dancer (while christian sings): Roxanne! You don't have to put on that red light! You don't have to wear that dress tonight Roxanne! You don't have to put on that red light Roxanne! You don't have to wear that dress tonight! Roxanne! Roxanne! Roxanne! Roxanne! Christian: Why does my heart cry? Feelings I can't fight! Roxanne! Roxanne! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you!
Spoilers about the movie!! When you watch the movie, the girl that the guy with the raspy voice is singing about is actually a hooker and hes singing about her betraying her the second guy is singing about a different girl that he has to give to another man.
El ritmo, la letra, todo me encanta! A parte es genial pensar como una partecita de mi cultura esta presente en diferentes partes del mundo y no solo en Argentina y Uruguay!
Por más que digan que es también uruguayo, el tango nació en los burdeles porteños del Buenos Aires, pero sí, Uruguay es el país más cercano en cuestión cultural a la Argentina
I wasn’t aware that having a good singing voice kept you from being able to play a movie role... Most actors these days can sing or play an instrument.
Idk. I've always loved Moulin Rouge as a movie in its entirety. Watching Alexa and Chris skate to Come What May reminded me how amazing the music in this movie is.
This song portrays the feeling of jeolousy so well, you can tell everybody put some much work into it. And the Choreography is amazing! And in the end everyone is practically screaming but its sill awesome.
This took some great timing! I didn't expect to find a great lyric video version right off the bat when this is such a complex arrangement. Anyone can transcribe the lyrics from another website and dump it in the description or comments, but I appreciate the effort put in to making a relatively precisely timed and legible lyric video on a moving, masterful, and often overlooked track from one of my favorite musicals.
How can someone don't love that song?! An instable fight, two voices into one head, one sight of a single woman that can be saving and destruction at the same time... SHE'S ROXANNE!
i watched the movie yesterday and now i just can't help crying when listening to this exact song because of how beautiful and emotional it is, ewan's part makes me feel things
I know a little bit of Spanish, so: "And I love you so much, what am I going to do? You left me, you abandoned me My soul is gone from me, it has gone from my heart I have no desires to live on, since I couldn't convince you to not selling yourself out, Roxanne"
I remember listen it on repeat (to learn the lyrics but also because I love the song) two years ago when we study this in class. I come back to this song thanks to the fiddle in the song "Autumn" from the album Over of the singer and poet Peter Hammill. Peter Hammill is the singer from the group Van Der Graaf Generator. I exhort everyone to try to listen to them (it's known that it's difficult to access to their music, but normally, after three listenings, it's sounds very beautiful). Here some songs : "A House With No Door", "Refugees", "Childlike Faith in Childhood's End", "Killer". And "Time Heals" and "Betrayed" from the album Over. Edit : damn sorry i was learning english at the moment i wrote this comment, maybe exhort is not the best word, more like "i recommend" lol
La voz del segundo chico me tiene enamorada, no lo he visto, no he visto la película pero tal voz le ha de pertenecer definitivamente a un hombre hermoso. Cada vez que lo oigo cantar me imagino a un príncipe de esos de cuentos de hagas porque su voz es tan suave tan dulce tan delicada, como una caricia, me enamoré. Y no quiero ver la película para no quitarme de la cabeza esa ilusión y misticismo que se me ha formado en base a su imagen.
Not that anyone besides me cares, nor does it matter, but I was the exact 483,000 person to listen to this video :D though it's probably more like the 483,057th now do to it being on repeat...I love this song! Easily the best scene in the entire movie
so many figure skaters skate to this song.. its been stuck in my head for MONTHS so i finally gave in, and downloaded this song and have had it on repeat for a few days now... Its SO good.
