英文導(dǎo)讀

Moulin Rouge is a 2001 romantic Jukebox musical film directed, produced, and co-written by Baz Luhrmann.

The film tells the story of a young, Bohemian poet/ writer, Christian (Ewan McGregor), he lives in 1899 Paris, defies his father by joining the colorfully diverse clique inhabiting the dark, fantastical underworld of Paris' now legendary Moulin Rouge. In this seedy but glamorous haven of sex, drugs and newly-discovered electricity, the poet-innocent finds himself plunged into a passionate but ultimately tragic love affair with Satine (Nicole Kidman), the club's highest paid star and the city's most famous courtesan. Their romance is played out against the infamous club—a meeting place of high and low, where slumming aristocrats and the fashionably rich mingle with workers, artists, bohemians, actresses and courtesans.

When asked about his inspiration for Moulin Rouge, Luhrmann remarked: "Catherine Martin (production designer and Luhrmann's wife) and I went to India to work on Midsummer Night's Dream. We went out one night and there was a big poster up for a Bollywood movie. I said, "Let's go see that." We did - 2,000 audience members, high comedy, high tragedy, brother kills brother, they break out in some musical numbers, all jumbled up together in 4 hours of Hindi. We thought that was amazing. So our question was, 'Could we create a cinematic form like that? Could a musical work?' A musical must be able to work in western culture again, and could it be comic-tragic? So then began this commitment of moving toward 'Moulin Rouge.' I decided I'd do Romeo + Juliet and then a musical film. "

Originally set for release on Christmas 2000 as a high profile Oscar contender, 20th Century Fox eventually moved the release to the following spring so director Baz Luhrmann would have more time during post production. The film premiered at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival on May 9—making it the festival's opening title.

At the 74th Academy Awards, the film was nominated for eight Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Nicole Kidman, winning two: for Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design. It was the first musical nominated for Best Picture in 10 years, following Disney's Beauty and the Beast.

制作花絮

本片是2001年戛納電影節(jié)的開幕影片。

1999年11月，影片的拍攝因妮可·基德曼排練舞蹈時(shí)肋骨骨折和膝蓋受傷而暫停2周，后來她坐著輪椅完成了一些胸部以上的畫面。

妮可·基德曼在片中佩戴的項(xiàng)鏈確實(shí)由鉆石和白金制成，這條堪稱為拍攝電影而制作的最昂貴的項(xiàng)鏈鑲有1308顆鉆石，總重達(dá)134克拉，價(jià)值約為100萬(wàn)美元。

妮可·基德曼在片中始終戴著假發(fā)。

重點(diǎn)學(xué)習(xí)

The poet-innocent finds himself plunged into a passionate but ultimately tragic love affair with Satine

在文中，固定搭配Plunge into是“使陷入；突然進(jìn)入（某種狀態(tài)）”的意思，比如：He plunged the room into darkness by switching off the light.（他把燈一關(guān)，房間陷入一片黑暗。）Plunge into還能表達(dá)“倉(cāng)促（或突然）做起（某事）來”的意思，比如：She plunged at once into a description of her latest illness.（她馬上開始談起她最近患病的情況。）另外，它還有“跳入；跳進(jìn)（水、洞等）；沖進(jìn)，闖進(jìn)；投入（某行動(dòng)）”等意思。

A meeting place of high and low

文中的high and low從字面上理解是“高低”的意思，也常被譯為“樓上樓下，上上下下，到處”，比如：I searched high and low for that book, but I couldn't find it.（我到處找那本書，可就是找不到。）另外，它還被引申為“各色人等，高低貴賤的人們，社會(huì)各階層”的意思，比如：But my line of sight did not equal the high and low points.（但我的眼里并沒有高低貴賤之分。）
