Who is satine moulin rouge

She believes that her next lover will be the Duke of Monroth. She plans to use her feminine charms on the Duke in order to reach her professional dream, and she certainly does not plan to fall in love. But Christian, the poor but romantic writer, will do all he can to change her mind. Complicating matters, the Duke is a powerful man who can be very dangerous if crossed.

He could cause serious problems if she follows her heart on a road that leads anywhere but to his bed. Satine tries to control her passion rather than let it control her, and she uses it to further her personal and professional goals. Her true self is guarded, even though outwardly she seems ebullient. Once the sitar player has satisfied his lust he will leave her with nothing. I suggest that the courtesan chose the maharajah. Toulouse-Lautrec : But, but tell me, that ending does not uphold the Bohemian ideals of truth, beauty, freedom, and The Duke : [shouts] I don't care about your ridiculous dogma!

Why shouldn't the courtesan chose the maharajah? Christian : [shouts] Because she doesn't love you! Hi-him, she doesn't love The Duke : Oh, I see Monsieur Zidler, the play will be rewritten with the courtesan choosing the maharajah and without the lovers' secret song. It will be rehearsed in the morning, ready for the opening tomorrow night Zidler : But, my dear Duke, that will be quite impossible. Satine : Harold, the Duke is being treated appallingly. These silly writers let their imaginations run away with themselves.

Why don't you and I have a little supper, and then we can tell Monsieur Zidler how we would like the story to end. Satine : A little supper? Maybe some champagne? Christian : I'd rather, um, just get it over and done with. Satine : Hmph.

Very well. Then why don't you come down here and let's get it over and done with. Christian : I prefer to do it standing. Satine : Oh. Christian : You don't have to stand, I mean.

It's sometimes that It's quite long and I'd like you to be comfortable. It's quite modern what I do and it may feel a little strange at first, but I think, if you're open, then you might enjoy it.

Zidler : Send Christian away. Satine : He will fight for me. Zidler : Unless he believes that you don't love him. Zidler : You're a great actress, Satine.

Make him believe that you don't love him. Satine : No! Zidler : Use your talent to save him! Hurt him, Satine. Hurt him to save him. There is no other way. The show must go on. We are creatures of the underworld. We can't afford to love. Christian : Wait. No, please wait. Before, when we were Satine : It was just an act? Christian : Yes.

Satine : Of course. Christian : Oh. It just felt real. Satine : Christian, I'm a courtesan. I'm paid to make men believe what they want to believe. Zidler : I am the evil maharajah. Satine : Oh Harold, no one could play him like you could. Zidler : No one's going to. Satine : [to herself, singing] When will I begin to live again? One day I'll fly away Why live life from dream to dream, and dread the day when dreaming ends.

Christian : Mademaiselle Satine, I haven't quite finished writing that new scene. And I wondered if I could work on it with you later tonight. Christian : It's not important. We could work on it tomorrow. Satine : Oh, how dare you! It cannot wait until tomorrow. We will work on it tonight until I am completely satisfied. The Duke : B-But my dear Satine : Dear Duke. Excuse me. Christian : [smiles] I'm sorry. Satine : I can't believe it. I'm in love. I'm in love with a young, handsome, talented duke.

Christian : Duke? Satine : Not that the title's important, of course. Christian : I'm not a duke. Satine : Not a duke? Christian : I'm a writer. Satine : A writer? Satine : The French are glad to die for love. They delight in fighting duels. But I prefer a man who lives Christian : Where were you last night? Satine : I told you I was sick. Christian : You don't have to lie to me.

Satine : We have to end it. Everybody knows. Satine turned around at the same moment that Toualouse turned around to get a hanky from Christian and therefore thinking he was the The Duke she was looking for. Her life-long dream was to become a star, which The Duke could give her. During the dance between her and Christian still unaware Christian wasn't The Duke , Christian said that he would like to show her his poetry, but, Satine thought he wanted her kinda od poetry.

Zidler gestured to him to remove her from the room. When he did, Marie and a The Doctor gave her an inspection. When she awoke, she was told by Zidler how well she did. They jumped up and down like little kids. She entered the "Elphant Room" where Christian was. They talked about poetry, Christian saying it was "quite long and he wanted her to be comfortable".

He also said he needed inspiartion. Satine stood, walked over to him and grabbed him, saying "does this inspire you?
