Moulin Rouge is a masterpiece!

I could genuinely talk about this movie for hours... I think it's sadly underrated, for which I decided to explain why it's, in reality, absolutely brilliant. I'll show you how it follows the traditional pattern of storytelling that's been unfolding itself throughout centuries (the hero's journey), where lies the significance of the symbolism used in Moulin Rouge (and what it actually means), and more! Make sure to give this movie a watch and come back, or watch the video first and then try to spot the patterns in the movie; it'll work either way!
