The greatest thing you'll ever learn...

Moulin Rouge still makes me cry at the end.

Ewan fucking McGregor, man. Of course, Baz is partly to blame, since he doesn't have a problem with actors seriously crying (see: Romeo and Juliet for more ugly and real crying from a Baz film). And Nicole is perfect in this, truly. Gorgeous and tragic and, dude, her skin glows.

I've seen this film... I couldn't possibly count the number of times. And yet, it captures me each time. I laugh and weep with just as much fervor as the first time I saw it in theaters. It's such an intensely cathartic movie -- it gives you permission to feel on an epic scale.

Such a wonderful movie. I choke up every time I see it (oh, Ewan, with the sobbing. Sooo painful), and I've seen it many, many times.

And Ewan singing "Come What May" with the hat and the smile and the "guh"--just perfection.

"Come What May" was the first dance at our wedding. Yeah, I might be a bit obsessed with it, too.

He really is absolutely heartbreaking. The power and honesty of his breakdown always manages to surprise me.

He's just gorgeous, just gorgeous.

Oh, but that's a wonderful song for a wedding, though. Very appropriate.
