Moulin Rouge



Helix's Review

"The greatest thing that you will ever know is just to be orange and let your pointy horns show!"

This was a delightful and entirely entertaining, modern-day musical prominently featuring Helix's favorite type of humans - those with red hair.

Helix admits that he's a bit old-fashioned and didn't care much for the MTV-style editing. It would have been interesting to see longer dance numbers and fewer medlees. Helix had a hard time with the fact that the film was nominated for an Academy Award for Choreography when he felt the quick-cuts really didn't give the audience the full experience.

While Helix had some minor disagreements with the style of the movie, it didn't detract from his overall enjoyment. This film has also inspired Helix in his other business ventures. While some celebrities are content to invest in Planet Hollywood restaurants, Helix now envisions his own version of the Moulin Rouge, tenatively named, "l'Orange de Marionnette".
