LOVE

Love is like oxygen

Comencé con el AMOR porque, más que nada, Moulin Rouge! trata de eso: del amor entre una cortesana llamada Satine (Nicole Kidman) y un escritor de nombre Christian (Ewan McGregor), quienes se amarán hasta el "fin de los tiempos".

Para el protagonista "el amor es como el oxígeno", sin amor no hay nada, sería imposible una vida sin amor. Con esta afirmación rememora el hit setentero de The Sweet que lleva el mismo nombre.

"Love is like oxygen, You get too much you get too high
Not enough and you're gonna die
Love gets you high"

Algo parecido sucede con la música dentro de este musical pop: Moulin Rouge! navega en las profundidades de un aire de sonidos retro, inhalando y luego exhalando melodías adheridas a nuestra "materia gris musical".
El medley que escucharán a continuación despliega un cancionero inmortal, inolvidable, construido en base a arreglos de temas de décadas pasadas. Para mayor interactividad con ustedes, bloggernautas, les daré el nombre de cada hit "citado" dentro de éste.
