hindsight [T]: Satine suspects she might be dying long before Christian ever finds out. Or: five moments that only make sense to Christian in hindsight, and one moment of total, brutal clarity.
true love's kiss [T]: Love actually triumphs.
i feel so untouched (and i want you so much) [E]: Christian is in a meeting; Satine decides she just can’t wait any longer to have him.
confetti [T]: Confetti from performances at the Moulin Rouge gets everywhere. Silly fluff.
there's disguise in her eyes (hide that doubt that cries out within her) [T]: Satine struggles with a resurgence of worries and doubts about herself and her relationship with Christian. Christian tries his best to reassure her.
“Two tickets for Barbie, please.” [G]: Date night for Christian and Satine.
S + C [G]: A tangible piece of Satine’s love for Christian is discovered after her death.
Moulin Rouge: The Musical but it’s just Christian being a dumbass for six bisexual minutes
anyways enjoy the greatest video I’ve ever made because whoever runs mr’s social media keeps taking this video off youtube cause they can’t handle the truth
(I don’t even mind you reposting just give me credit 🥰)
the greatest thing you will ever learn is just to love and be loved in return
(for @oneawkwardcookie and @madamewriterofwrongs)
[Image ID: three gifs of Christian and Satine from Moulin Rouge:
GIF 1: Christian looking at Satine with longing in his eyes, both of them close together as his gaze flicks down to her mouth then back up again.
GIF 2: Satine telling Christian "You're gonna be bad for business, I can tell" just before they kiss.
GIF 3: A wide shot of Christian and Satine kissing in front of the Moulin Rouge's windmill. Satine's hand travels up his back before she rests her whole arm on his shoulder as the kiss deepens.
I love the deep analysis and poetic ramblings about Orpheus as much as anyone, he’ll I’m guilty of it myself. However in the musical/pop culture realm you have to admit it’s a bit hysterical how he’s sort of reduced to
This guy can’t keep his lover alive. Chronic dead wife disease
Hadestown. Moulin rouge- if you think about it since they’re both based around the same story it’s the same person *. But wait! Its happened to this poor man Thrice! Thrice! This time in motherfucking space! Clone wars gave obi wan (famously portrayed by ewan mcgregor who also originated Christian) a GF who dies tragically named satine.
It’ll go better in the next life—
It’ll go better in the next life—
It’ll go better in the next life—
I could go on endlessly and wax poetically about the tragic love and the whole reincarnation idea connecting the three within itself. Maybe another time if it interests enough people but for now I just- “guy who keeps getting reincarnated and his defining characteristic is dead lover disease.” I can’t help it- that’s hysterical- my poor boy lmaoooo
*Same person in theory since Hadestown Orpheus is also a interpretation/deviation from the original myth in his own right.
