Full sypnosis:

In 1899, a young writer, Christian (Ewan Mcgregor), moves to the Montmartre district of Paris with few possessions beyond his typewriter to try to establish himself in theBohemian culture. By luck, he encounters a musical troupe led by Toulouse-Lautrec (John Leguizamo) that is attempting to present a new play for Harold Zidler (Jim Broadbent), the owner of the cabaret, the Moulin Rouge. Christian's writing helps to finalize the show, entitled "Spectacular! Spectacular!", and the troupe take Christian to the cabaret to present the work itself to its star courtesan, Satine (Nicole Kidman), in private to win her favour. However, the same night, Zidler has arranged for Satine to spend the night with the wealthy Duke (Richard Roxburgh) who is looking to invest in the cabaret. Through miscommunication, Satine mistakes Christian for the Duke, and the two depart to her private chambers. She begins to seduce him despite his insistence he is only there to present his script, but the two slowly realize they have fallen in love with each other. The Duke returns, and discovers Christian and Satine in a compromising position. Satine quickly states that Christian is only there to present a play. With the help of the troupe, Satine, and Zidler, Christian quickly improvises a new plot to "Spectacular! Spectacular!" as a thinly-covered veil of their current situation, with an evil maharajah attempting to woo the love of an Indian courtesan who is actually in love with a poor sitar player. The Duke, unable to see through the show's meaning, agrees to finance the show, but only if he is allowed to continue to see Satine.

the first time i saw this movie was when i was about 8 or 9 yrs old and I was instantly hooked with the story line, songs, singing and costumes.
I mainly love Ewan Mcgregor's singing.can melt man~ LOL
to this day I still listen to the song 'Come What May'. It has really cheesy lyrics but once you watch the movie, the songs fits PERFECTLY

Come What May - Ewan McGregor

-

Never knew I could feel like this

Like I've never seen the sky before

Want to vanish inside your kiss

Everyday I love you more and more

Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings

Telling me to give you everything

Seasons may change winter to spring

But I love you until the end of time

-

Come what may, come what may

I will love you until my dying day

-

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace

Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste

It all revolves around you

-

And there's no mountain too high no river too wide

Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side

Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide

But I love you until the end of time

-

Come what may, come what may I will love you until my dying day

Oh come what may, come what may

I will love you

-

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

-

Come what may, come what may

I will love you until my dying day.
