The movie I chose is "Moulin Rouge". It's about a prostitute who falls in love with a writer. As a prostitue, Nicole Kidman's character puts a wall around her heart, making it seemingly impossible to fall in love. It isn't until the writer persues her for true love rather than just sex that she lets the wall down.
My favorite scene in this movie is in the beginning where the writer pretends to be The Duke and gets a special "appointment" with Nicole Kidman. They are up in her room,and of course she expects that they're going to have sex, but she gets confused when he starts reading her poetry and singing her songs. It actually turns into a really funny scene because she keeps trying to turn everything he does into something sexual, like she's playing along with what he's doing but really has no idea what's going on. It's kind of sad too, because she isn't used to men who see her as something other than a sex object.
This romantic plot line is a little different than most because the woman in the relationship has a really strong heart, and doesn't fall as easily as women in classic romantic plot lines do.
