25 Things I Learned from Moulin Rouge
Always this ridiculous obsession with love!
There's nothing like a little poetry after supper.
Not everyone can take criticism well.
It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside.
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs.
Sometimes love is bad for business.
Sometimes - often, in fact - love is better than business.
Be warned! An inflated ego might make you easy to deceive.
A title isn't really that important.
It's not that some people are jealous. They just don't like other people touching their things.
Rich jerks rarely play fair.
These silly writers let their silly imaginations run away with them.
The show must go on.
Creatures of the underworld cannot afford to love.
A life without love? That's terrible! No, living on the streets. That's terrible.
It's funny how closely art can resemble life.
If you're going to write about love, you should probably have been in love first.
Love is either a many-splendored thing or just a game, depending on who you talk to.
Money really can't buy you love.
Why live life from dream to dream and dread the day when dreaming ends?
When love is for the highest bidder, there can be no trust. Without trust, there can be no love.
Jealousy will drive you mad.
Sometimes you must hurt someone to save them.
Things aren't always as they seem.
The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return. (A/N- My personal favorite lesson.)
A/N- Just saw Moulin Rouge for the first time recently, and was looking at quotes from the movie, when I saw a website with all of these wonderful lessons learned. It is my new all time favorite movie, even though it is rather sad, and has a somewhat morbid theme throughout. Below is the website where I found these lessons, and all credit goes to the website's creator.
