Moulin Rouge

[rose-amidlilies.livejournal.com]

So I just re watched Moulin Rouge (again) and saw a lot of similarities between Gen-Irene relationship and Christian-Satine relationship. Satine even likes the red dress, it's the only one she wears when she's not acting. also, Christian has to make her take off her mask and see that loving him is ok, and they have to hide their relationship at first for political reasons. I'm definitely for the Elephant Love Medley as a good Gen-Irene song. I think I'm a bit crazy seeing parallels to The Queen's Thief everywhere though...

Never having seem Moulin Rouge, I can't say I agree without lying, but your reasons make me think it's a great comparison. However, I can say I see parallels to The Queen's Thief everywhere, like you. I was in my Latin class today and we were doing presentations on the Romans. There were fibula pins in the jewelery presentation, which were really cool, as I've never seen so many examples before. And when they said cows were only eaten after a religious sacrifice, the only thing I could think of was Gen saying "Of course no one actually believes it; it's just an excuse to kill a cow." or something to that extent (I was too lazy to look it up). Anyway, it definitely seems like it's leaking into my life...
