Title: Moulin Rouge Soundtrack
Review: I really liked the movie and decided to get the soundtrack. In the movie I was thoroughly surprised by and equally enjoyed both Kidman and McGregor's voices and thought the musical arrangements were wonderful. I expected the soundtrack to reflect what was offered in the movie. Not so. First of all they left out some great stuff while opting to include songs that were not even in the movie. Second, the arrangements they put into the cd were the 'perfectly rehearsed and recorded' versions not the movie performances(I didn't care for the elevator pop rendition of 'Come What May'-a great song in the movie-or the greatly shortened, emasculated version of 'Roxanne'). The movie was a wonderful mixture of melo-drama, color, intensity, emotion - sensorially stunning - and the original soundtrack captured and reflected all of it. The released, sanitized version does not.
Is the review positive or negative?
