{Above all things I believe in love}




Day two of the thirty day challenge is Favourite Movie.  This is an absolute no-brainer for me.  Moulin Rouge. Hands down.

I was absolutely obsessed with this movie, even before it came out.  I remember buying the Lady Marmalade single - I must've been about fourteen - because I liked Mya and Christine Aguilera, and hearing The Elephant Love Medley which was a track on the single (speaking of, I used to love buying singles, just to get the B-Side tracks.  I just don't do that anymore.  Do they still make singles?) and falling absolutely head over heels in love with Ewan McGregors voice. The next week I spent my itty-bitty pizza shop wage on the movie soundtrack.  I remember laying in bed listening to it on my discman, on repeat, every night.  I didn't end up seeing the movie until it came out on DVD months later. I watched it three times in the one day, then at least once a day every day for months. I loved it.  I could recite the entire thing to you now if you asked me.

I was that in love with the film, my friends and I filmed our own version of the movie in my friends games room (I was Satine) and I made a scrapbook dedicated to the movie.

Oh, and then a SECOND soundtrack was released. I got that too. Of course.

I'm not sure what it is exactly that makes me love it so much.  It's definitely a love it/hate it film.  I think it may be the combination of the love story, intertwined with the classic songs, the tragedy, the surrealism, the amazing costume design and sets, and Ewan McGregor.  Plus, I always wanted to be in a musical.

{You're free to leave me, but just don't deceive me and please, believe me when I say, I love you}
