The all story around the intricately ideal and reality, ups and downs, a
beautiful prostitute who living in
material world and a poor talent writer who living in spirit world. 'Love likes an oxygen, indispensable', this
is a voice from the new youth. It seems like there is no common between with this two protagonist. viewed the
background of this film, the whole society is full of low-spirited atmosphere and intensified social conflicts
after French people experienced failure
war in Paris in 1900. therefore , people focused on the confused and extremely
empty life with cynical attitude . they tried to feel better with indulgence
extravagant life. the total environment has changed in Paris. it is a important
role to show the audience the social atmosphere in early twentieth century at
the end of nineteenth century. At the
beginning of the film, the classic music
"The Sound of Music" was shown
with the fresh and melodious feeling. However, following the process of the
theme developing , the background music change to "Kang Kang dance"-
which reflect the society with the color of the indulgence extravagant . After the concert of 'Kang Kang dance",
there is the prelude of the film-"Moulin Rouge". The subtle
connection and processing of the opening music suggested the time background of
true love story. At the same time , the
luxury and dissipation sprite of time is reflected by the Kang Kang dance.
under the processing of the film, It is
the first time for Christian to come in the luxury and dissipation place -
moulin rouge. the extravagant life is represented under the 10 minutes dance
performances. in the film to make a sense with the audience about the Moulin
Rouge at that time. The dance performance is reflected with
the sexy dancers' face ,lively and
exuberant dance, passionate crowd of
people , high lift skirt, naked lyrics and the expression of enjoying them and
escaping the usual life. In the film, the Lady Marmalade and "At the
Moulin rouge you'll have fun " and the can-can appear alternatively with the accompaniment
of metal elements . It is shown that the
indulgence and extravagant under the combination between the music and cancan
dance. It is similar with the lyrics. both the tune and the words give an
expression of real social life in Paris at that time.
Compared with heightening the
atmosphere of the times , Director Baziluheman accurately
focused on the music to make a great performance of plot under the reflection
of music. The heroine Satine as the
shining diamond in Moulin Rouge , expected to escape Moulin Rouge to become a real actor like Sarah Bhai， though she lives under the flashy, enchanting and gorgeous singing and
dancing with the passionate love with handlers
of men. therefore, she tried her best to get close to
duke to realize her dream. Compared with
tedious dialogue, the film uses the
music to lead the audience to the actress's inner world. When the night falls, Satine
stay alone and singing 'one day i will fly away from here, put everything to
yesterday, why life just dream by dream? The song of 'I'll fly away' express clearly
which a woman living in chaos 'desire her work hard for living, dedication to
the dream, the longing for love but afraid to close to it. The song from
without the accompaniment of singing cappella to whisper with the violin
string, until Satine went up on the roof, the great momentum symphony burst out
through the music push forward. Only two minutes music better tahn any dialogue
and film techniques, therefore, audience will feel pity about this beautiful
woman who living in struggle world after they understand Satine's inner world.
In the love line development of this two heroines, the film also utilize technique
of music for foil. The duet song 'Elephant Love Medley' include more than ten
classic song part, the melody sometimes are resentment and sometimes are
romantic, this demonstrated Christian courage to pursue and expression of love,
in contrast, Satine from dodge to wander at the beginning, until she brave to
love at the end, make their love line rapid development without any abrupt,
this play a vital role for bedding and contrast.
