Random Fact #6,398

The 2001 movie Moulin Rouge! is a retelling of the tragedy of Orpheus and Euridice.

If you know the tale, you can pick up several Easter egg references.

E.g. Christian's theme song starts with the line "My gift is my song," and as he sings it all the lights in the neighbourhood turn on as people stop to listen. In fact, whenever he starts to sing everyone always stops and listens.

Zidler's line "We are creatures of the underworld, we can't afford to love." (A reference to Euridice being in Hades).

Christian looking back just as he was about to leave the Moulin Rouge (Orpheus looking back to see if Euridice was following him).

If I was in love with a Parisian concubine who was cheating with me on a jealous Duke who was funding the show I was writing for her to star in, I would simply not write a play that perfectly mirrored our own real-life love triangle. Rip to Christian but I'm different.

people aren't born bisexual, they watch moulin rouge when they're 12 and have to take deep breaths every time Christian and Satine are on screen at the same time
