I have just been forced to watch some bits of MOULIN ROUGE, the movie. I hated it before I ever saw any, and the pieces I have seen have done nothing but make me loathe it. It is absolutely the opposite of anything I want to see in films, not to mention wrecking one of my favourite songs. (I loathe Elton John, but one has to concede that he wrote some damn good songs, and none better than "A song for you".)

The MOULAN ROUGE, if I remember correctly, has as its central idea that characters will speak the words to popular rock and roll songs to each other as if this were the poetry of romantic dialog. Am I thinking of the right movie?

If so, this was the film that convinced me America was spiritually and morally dead.
