Moulin Rouge! (2001)
The Greatest Musical Ever Made
After seeing Moulin Rouge I could only think Baz Luhrmann wanted to make the most spectacular, spectacular musical ever. And the only way to do this is on celluloid, because the music, the sets, the effects, everything is just too darn 'big' to perform on stage. A masterfully crafted film, every second must have taken careful planning and shooting. This film is a rollercoasterride of emotions, it starts of very high paced and comedial (is that a word?), then it becomes grand and romantic and ends in deep, deep tragedy. I was absolutely thrilled! Fantastic music, I bought the soundtrack the day after. If this film doesn't get the academy award for best music, than I'll eat my top hat!
I voted 9 out of 10

Could have been much better
I recently watched this movie in a local theatre after hearing the director could be considdered "Thailand´s Quentin Tarantino". I was expecting a fast-paced crime story with sharp dialogues and a lot of gunfire, like Lock Stock and 2 smoking barrels or Pulp Fiction. But 6ixtynin9 isn´t like that at all. It´s not a Hollywood picture, it´s a lot slower, the dialogues are quite short, it´s quite stylish though. The story could easily be used for a Hollywood flic though; a girl finds al lot of cash in front of her door. Ofcourse the bad guys come looking for it and from there everything gets worse and worse. The movie ain´t bad but it could have been a lot better, the plot is quite good but the jokes, the acting, it´s just too slow for my taste.
