Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months. And then, one not-so-very special day, I went to my typewriter, I sat down, and I wrote our story. A story about a time, a story about a place, a story about the people. But above all things, a story about love. A love that will live forever. The End. Moulin Rouge! (2001) dir. Baz Luhrmann

When I was a young man like you. Son, I held a woman too. Held her in my naked hands. When I was a young man. Now you know how it feels. Women are as slick as eels. Woman, quicker than the asp. Always slipping from your grasp

Take it from a man no longer young. If you want to hold a woman, son. Hang a chain around her throat. Made of many carat gold. Shackle her from wrist to wrist. With sterling silver bracelets. Fill her pockets full of stones. Precious ones, diamonds. Bind her with a golden band. Take it from an old man

Come home with me! It’s you! It’s me. Orpheus! Eurydice. Please, come home. I’m not going back alone. But how’d you get here? On the train? Nah, I walked. I walked and sang. But how’d you get beyond the wall? I sang a song so beautiful the stones wept and they let me in, and I can sing us home again. No, you can’t. Yes I can. Are you always this confident? When I look at you I am. When you look at me, what do you see? I see someone stronger than me, I see somebody who survives… I see my wife.

Are you always this confident? When I look at you I am. When you look at me, what do you see? Someone stronger than me, somebody who survive. So why should I become your wife? Because I make you feel alive. That’s worth a lot... What else you got?

see the thing is it's really hard to have an onscreen narrator in a movie the way you have an onstage narrator in theatre so of course it makes sense to cut it and have the narration be done by the main character's voice as an overlay. perfectly normal and reasonable decision unless by doing that you have to cut every instance of the onstage narrator affecting the plot itself and therefore completely cut the emotional core of the story.

#most movie musicals i can see why they make the changes they do. like everybody's talking about jamie is a really good example#and into the woods... a lot of ppl complain about the movie as do i but like i don't know what else they COULD have done really.#i just think it was one that was never gonna work#for an example of a movie that made changes from the musical that didn't make sense and made the story worse please see in the heights

If it’s true what they say. I’ll be on my way. We can all be on our way. If it’s true what they say.
