That tango is the greatest dance I’ve ever seen

[@johnquinn7068]

The Moulin Rouge,famous for its Can Can girls and infamous for its dancing girls exposing their breasts on a public stage in front of male dancers and an audience of mostly foreign tourists,why do these girls do it,and for what purpose ?.

[@A-G-A-G]

@@johnquinn7068 why do the audience come to watch if it’s as abhorrent as you say? Maybe they do it because there were fuck all jobs going for women during that period, especially ones that paid well

[@kadejito1]

One of the basic, underappreciated talents of being an actor: looking directly into the eyes of a ravishing beauty like Nicole Kidman, or a dashing hunk like Ewan McGregor, for such a long span of time and neither giggling nor thinking "maybe I should make a move". Seriously, I couldn't do it...and apparently neither could they (1:53). So cute.

[@salvadoroars]

I love this choreographer!!! He didn't take their personalities out and be all about techniques. Made the movie more genuine. Knowing that it's redicolously over the top. Caroline was a beast of a dancer though

The Moulin Rouge,famous for it's Can Can girls and infamous for its dancing girls who expose their breasts on a public stage in front of male dancers an audience of mostly foreign tourists,why do these girls want to expose their breasts in the first place,and for what purpose ?.

[@Zoe-ge5id]

@@johnquinn7068 I'm not sure either.I guess they don't mind exposing themselves. I think it's rather tasteless

[@johnquinn7068]

@@Zoe-ge5id Most of the females who are willing to expose their breasts on the public stage in a public theatre with fully clothed male dancer and an audience of foreign tourists do it not because they want to do it,they are paid more for exposing their breasts than the other mainly French girls who prefer to keep their breasts covered up,it supposed to be French culture but now such 18 + public stage performances are not seen in any other western country or video clips of such shows would be on U Tube but there are not,only in France (Paris ) is were such shows can be seen on U Tube,they are out dated and insulting to the female sex,no morals whatsoever,but to these girls who do expose their breasts it is just a business to them,just like those pretty young female porn stars who work for the world famous Playboy and Hustle who make porn DVDs,they do it for the high money they receive,and when money is involved moral values fly out of the window,Paris public theatres have young show girls,that is what they are,it is the female dancer who cover up and they are the professional dancers,finally if there were no female porn stars there would not be a very rich adult sex industry,thank you.

@johnquinn7068 The movie is literally about a whore house

[@ilikereddit9107]

Most of my friends hated this movie but I really liked it, the dance and musical numbers were fantastic. I think I'll watch again tonight...

Caroline O'Connor is so beautiful. Still to this day.

[@gradygal81]

I found her through Anastasia. So talented

[@cestmoi5702]

I loved the role of Nini! She was brilliantly done.

[@markotter2707]

[@lorenaaguilera8088]

Amo esta película con toda mi alma, creo que la veo cada mes sin querer, la veo con mucha frecuencia y me se todos los diálogos y canciones. ¡¡¡La amo!!!

[@TheGeekMonster]

I was hoping to see more specifics of the amazing dance routines in the film, but it's still cool to get a look behind the scenes.

[@alikoenig4715]

Best movie of all time!!!!

[@Emma-kd2vh]

[@anonymouspeacefulperson6199]

😳😱

[@kyemarie781]

any of you guys know the names of the dancers that danced with caroline o connor?

[@GhostPirate6]

Jacek Koman as the Unconscious Argentinian dances with Nini in El Tango De Roxanne. I believe Tracie Morley was Caroline's dance rival, Travesty, in the CanCan.

[@JemiFN]

jair bolsonaro was a choreographer before becoming a fascist president????? lmao

@@metikabegleiter1770 You do realize that your last comment made it look like you're correcting the OP's name and making it look like she spelled her own name wrong?

L4D2Ellis I thought she was talking about Caroline O’Connor. I didn’t even see the choreographers name 😂 I’m sure she didn’t get her own name wrong but she could’ve just misread it (like I did) ❤️

[@johnquinn7068]

Jake Rutigliano,the Moulin Rouge and the other 2 prominent public establishments should be with indecent stage displays of topless females some dancing with male dancers and others as a backdrop for singers,can you explain to me why dancing girls have to be topless in front of not only the male dancers who handle them but also a public paying audience of strangers ?these stage displays must carry a 18+ adult rating when going topless,also the likes of the Lido-De-Paris has in its rules that children under the age of 11 can watch these 18+ adult public stage displays,here in the UK if any public establishment staged such a show they would be up before the courts,and allowing children to watch such sex displays would put the establishment's owners in prison ,so can you explain why girls want to dance topless,there is no art as that is in the dancing,nor is there any beauty,just 18+ adult sex stage displays,i await your reply.

[@ZanderTHV]

the fuck are you talking about?

[@johnquinn7068]

@@ZanderTHV Watch your language as 2 can play at that game,it s well known that the Moulin Rougue has mostly young foreign dancers who are asked when recruited that they have to dance bare breasted with male dancers in a public place in front of an audience of strangers who are mostly foreign tourists,such public topless dancing is banned in many foreign countries including here in the UK as Crazy Horse found to their cost when the visited London in 2012,and in 2019 when the Moulin Rouge visited Sydney in Australia,they were also told that their dancing girls had to dance covered up,apparantly the French government are liberal with their indecency laws,also the government also allow children to watch such 18+ public topless dancing,hardly any French nationals visit these cabarets thearters as they are ashamed of what they see,so these topless dancing displays are for the benefit of the tourists who generate money for the French economy,and without the tourists these clubs would not survive,hence the topless dancing.

[@ZanderTHV]

@@johnquinn7068 no. and also, if legal adults want to watch a burlesque show, nothing is stopping them. judging them for it does nothing and does not establish you as superior. each country is allowed to set their own rules. kids shouldnt watch adult shows.

[@johnquinn7068]

@@ZanderTHV The Moulin Rougue does not do burlesque as burlesque have their nipples covered those dancing girls in the video clip do not,they are bare breasted,burlesque does not allow children in to watch,the Moulin Rougue ,the Lido-De-Paris and Crazy Horse do,and with many countries banning public bare breasted dancing these video clips should not be allowed on U Tube as they are illegal under U Tube's codes of practice and community standards,U Tube have told me that,and since then they have stopped people using the platform to tout for subscribers,children from all over the world watch such video clips as the above,and it is wrong,and in many countries it is a criminal offence to allow children into the public cabaret theaters that have 18+ stage displays,there is no artistic merit nor beauty in topless girls dancing with fully clothed males in front of an audience of mostly foreign strangers,the French do not visit these public cabaret shows,and some like my French FB friends find such 18+ adult stage displays most embarrassing,and that says something,these shows are just for the tourist trade to generate income for Paris,and nothing else.

[@RealAngelOfMusic]

and there is lots of beauty in this, lots of art and it's kinda sad that you can't seem to appreciate it for all the work. and if you don't like it, don't watch it, easy

[@johnquinn7068]

I have seen the bodily contacts during these rehearsals when the females are not topless,so why do these dancing girls do these same dance sequences topless with male dancers,a simple enough question to answer but somehow i know that no such an explanation will be forthcoming,i just wonder why ?.
