I agree. :/

...Except he wasn't aiming for Satine at all, he was aiming for Christian. Without Christian, he would get Satine.

[kallanda-lee.livejournal.com]

This, pretty much.

[smittenlotus.livejournal.com]

He did try to beat up Satine earlier in the film though. I still think it would have made a better ending even if he ended up shooting her by accident. *shrug*

[(Anonymous)]

Huh. I always thought he was aiming for Satine. In a "if I can't have her, nobody else can" kind of way.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I don't know if it would have made a better movie. More enjoyable, maybe, or possibly with a different ending message. In any case, it would have served the Duke right to be seen committing murder in front of an audience.

[countess-k.livejournal.com]

The ending annoyed me because Satine died. Not that it wasn't hinted at from the beginning but it made the whole triumph of good over evil that came before it pointless. In the end it didn't matter who Satine ended up with because all they got was her corpse.

[zenity.livejournal.com]

Personally, I felt the triumph of good over evil was less about love overcoming all odds but more about remaining true to your heart in the face of evil. And eventually, she did in the end. Whether or not she was alive to be the Duke and Christian's trophy wasn't the point?

[etherealtsuki.livejournal.com]

I don't think it was pointless. I mean, they stuck with their convictions (Christian and Satine realized that love was more important than hatred [Christian]/comfort [Satine] and the MR crew didn't betray their Bohemian ideals) even though it came with consequences because selling out their soul was a far worse fate for all involved except The Duke.

It was a moral bittersweet victory.

[etherealtsuki.livejournal.com]

What for? It would've made it pointlessly sad.

I know some people said that it would make the Duke get his due, but let's be honest, I don't think a murder of a courtesan would stick on a weasel like him. Plus it would've meant he won, that love didn't conquer all, which was the movie's message. Moulin Rouge would not have that large night even if it was the last one they ever had, robbed Satine of her big night and dying with grace, Christian would not have the will to live on and possibly waste his life hunting down the Duke and/or killing him.

[lolofielding.livejournal.com]

Plus it would've meant he won, that love didn't conquer all, which was the movie's message.

I haven't seen the film in years so I could be wrong but wasn't the point of the downer ending with Satine dying anyway meant to be sort of a blunt message that, after all the singing and dancing about it, love didn't conquer all? That no matter what they overcame they could never be together?

Could just be my cynical mind remembering it here though.

[fickletastictot.livejournal.com]

I was looking for a sing-a-long thread here, awwww...!

Anyways, no DOOON'T. I couldn't handle it and Ewan McGregor crying face again~ She died anyway! ;_; (Moulin Rouge makes me emotional, okay?)

[shinydinosaur.livejournal.com]

COOOOME WHAT MAAAAAAY~

[playwhatgoeson.livejournal.com]

O/T:

I got mercilessly made fun of when I off-handledly said I thought Dracula from Van Helsing was kind of sexy and then got told that it was The Duke.

But anyways, I always turn off the movie where it should have ended, right as the curtain closes. I don't care, I love my happy endings damn it!

[hoopyfroodyford.livejournal.com]

Eh, not sure I would've liked that. I can't see why that would make it any better.

[(Anonymous)]

At least then we could have avoided that drawn-out death scene. Ugh just die already, Satine.

[oohasparklie.livejournal.com]

Moulin Rogue paired with this pic is really, really hilarious.
