Moulin Rouge Directed by Baz Luhrmann

I can't remember the last time that the moon was singing a song right along with me. That's right, that is because it has never happened before. In the movie moulin rouge this type of thing happens a lot. The use of metafiction is apparent in this movie and it is used often. The definition of metafiction according to wikipedia is; it is a type of fiction that self-consiously addresses the devices of fiction. It is apparent in this movie that they wanted the viewer to know they were watching a fictional film. Some of the ways they showed metafiction was the singing moon and dancing on a cloud. I also thought that it was interesting to see that the set was very elabarate and a little rediculous. For example, the elephant that she lives in and shots of the city were not to scale. It was easy to see the metafiction in this movie and I will never view this movie in the same way.
