Moulin Rouge! (/ˌmuːlæn ˈruːʒ/, from French: [mulɛ̃ ˈʁuʒ]) is a 2001 romantic Jukebox musical film directed, produced, and co-written by Baz Luhrmann. Following the Red Curtain Cinema principles, the film is based on the Orphean myth, La traviata, and La bohème. It tells the story of a young, English poet/writer, Christian, who falls in love with the terminally-ill star of the Moulin Rouge, cabaret actress and courtesan Satine. It uses the musical setting of the Montmartre Quarter of Paris, France. At the 74th Academy Awards, the film was nominated for eight Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Nicole Kidman, winning two: for Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design. It was the first musical nominated for Best Picture in 10 years.
The film opens in the year 1900, where a suffering and depressed writer named Christian sits at his desk and begins to write on his typewriter.
In 1899, one year before, Christian moves to the Montmartre district of Paris to become a writer among the Bohemian culture. He encounters performers led by Toulouse-Lautrec; his writing skills allow them to finish their proposed show, "Spectacular Spectacular", that they wish to sell to Harold Zidler, owner of the Moulin Rouge. The group arrives at the Moulin Rouge as Zidler and his "Diamond Dog Dancers" perform for the audience (Lady Marmalade/Zidler's Rap (Can Can)/Smells Like Teen Spirit). Toulouse-Lautrec arranges for Christian to see Satine, the star courtesan, in her private quarters to present the work, unaware that Zidler is promising Satine to the wealthy and unscrupulous Duke of Monroth, a potential investor in the cabaret ("Sparkling Diamonds" medley). Early in the movie, it is made obvious that Satine suffers from tuberculosis.

Moulin Rouge (French pronunciation: [mulɛ̃ ʁuʒ], Red Mill) is a cabaret in Paris, France. It was built in 1889 by Joseph Oller, who also owned the Paris Olympia. Close to Montmartre in the Paris district of Pigalle on Boulevard de Clichy in the 18th arrondissement, it is marked by the red windmill on its roof. The closest métro station is Blanche.
The Moulin Rouge is best known as the spiritual birthplace of the modern form of the can-can dance. Originally introduced as a seductive dance by the courtesans who operated from the site, the can-can dance revue evolved into a form of entertainment of its own and led to the introduction of cabarets across Europe. Today the Moulin Rouge is a tourist attraction, offering musical dance entertainment for visitors from around the world. Much of the romance of turn-of-the-twentieth-century France is still present in the club's decor.
Christina María Aguilera (born December 18, 1980) is an American recording artist and actress. Aguilera first appeared on national television in 1990 as a contestant on the Star Search program, and went on to star in Disney Channel's television series The Mickey Mouse Club from 1993 to 1994. Aguilera signed to RCA Records after recording "Reflection", the theme song for the animated film Mulan (1998).
In 1999, Aguilera came to prominence following her debut album Christina Aguilera, which was a commercial success spawning three number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100—"Genie in a Bottle", "What a Girl Wants", and "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)." Her sophomore and her debut Latin-pop album, Mi Reflejo (2000), a Christmas third studio album, My Kind of Christmas (2000), and several collaborations followed which garnered Aguilera worldwide success, though she was displeased with her lack of input in her music and image. After parting from her management, Aguilera took creative control over her fourth studio album, Stripped (2002). The album's second single, "Beautiful", was a commercial success and helped the album's commercial performance amidst controversy over Aguilera's image. Aguilera followed up Stripped with the soul, jazz and blues inspired, Back to Basics (2006), released to positive critical acclaim. The album produced three singles "Ain't No Other Man", "Hurt" and "Candyman". Four years later Aguilera released her sixth studio album, Bionic (2010), which incorporated aspects of R&B, electropop, and synthpop and was met with mixed reviews and low sales. Aguilera's seventh studio album is set to be released in 2012.
Love is a many splendored thing
Love lifts us up where we belong All you need is love
Please don't start that again
All you need is love
A girl has got to eat
All you need is love
Or she'll end up on the street
all you need is love
Love is just a game
I was made for loving you baby
you were made for loving me
The only way of loving me baby is to pay a lovely fee
Just one night gimme Just one night
There's no way cause you can't pay
In the name of love
one night in the name of love
You crazy fool i won't give into you
Don't leave me this way
i can't survive
without your Sweet love
oh baby don't leave me this way
You'd think that people
would have enough of silly love songs
I look around me and i see it isn't so oh no
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs
Well what's wrong with that i'd like to know
Cuz here i go again
Love lifts us up where we belong
where eagles fly on a mountain high
Love makes us act like we are fools
Throw our lives away for one happy day
We could be heroes just for one day
You will be mean, no i won't
And i i'll drink all the time
We should be lovers we can't do that
We should be lovers and that's a fact
Though nothing would keep us together we could steal time just for one day
We could be heroes forever and ever
We could be heroes forever and ever
We could be heroes
Just because i will always love i can't help loving you

Je vais marier ma fille de danse
Et habiter en france
'comme la chanson est belle'
Chantez la mademoiselle
Dansant dans le moulin rouge
Dansant dans le moulin rouge

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Everyday I love you more and more
Listen to my heart can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high no river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide
But I love you I love you until the end of time
Come what may come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh come what may come what may
I will love you oh i will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Come what may come what may
Moulin des amours
Tu tournes tes ailes
Au ciel des beaux jours
Moulin des amours
Mon cœur a dansé
Sur tes ritournelles
Sans même y penser
Mon cœur a dansé
Ah, mon Dieu, qu' ils étaient jolis
Ces yeux qui valsaient dans les miens
On s' aimait presqu' Ã la folie
Et cet amour te plaisait bien
Des mots de bonheur
Chantaient sur tes ailes
Des mots de bonheur
Simple comme nos cœurs
Dis moi chéri, dis-moi que tu m' aimes
Dis-moi chéri que c' est pour la vie
Comme on a dansé
Sur tes ritournelles
Tous deux enlacés
Comme on a dansé !
Que de fois l' on a répété
Ces mots qui chantaient dans nos cœurs
Et pourtant que m' est-il resté
De tant de rêves de bonheur ?
Un simple moulin
Qui tourne ses ailes
Un simple moulin
Rouge comme mon cœur !
Dis moi chéri, dis-moi que tu m' aimes
Dis-moi chéri que c' est pour la vie
