TOP 5 CINEMA EXPERIENCES: No.2

MOULIN ROUGE

I saw Moulin Rouge in Leicester Square's largest Odeon cinema when it was released in 2001, when I was 13. As a big fan of musicals (mainly due to this film) seeing this in the cinema had a huge emotional impact on me. The cinema itself was amazing, such a massive screen and zebra stripe patterned seats which I thought at the time was extremely cool. The colours and imagery in scenes such as the 'Elephant Love Medley' and 'Your Song' are what made the film for me, as well as Kylie Minogue's cameo as the Absinth Fairy lol. By the end of the film I was glad to see that most of the audience were weeping alongside me and it still remains one of my favourite movies today. Unfortunately I don't have much else to say as this was such a long time ago but has obviously made a lasting impact :)
