Moulin Rouge - Opening Section
1
Quote: prostitutes plying their trade,
narrow streets, buildings supported. Camera speeds up, see male standing on
street. Note his eyes. (scene later repeated - with differences). Camera rises
above streets through air.
Explain: prostitution associated with poverty, these the old dancers from
places like the Moulin Rouge? Hand held camera speeds up to hurry us
away from seamy side of life and to get on with the point of the story? Man
blind/ill/ What is he doing there? Camera angle - rises above street
level, passes through window - privileged viewpoint
