Summary: This article is about all of the complications that went on during the filming of Moulin Rouge. It talks about how Fox Studios was nervous that the film was going to fail and how they originally refused to let him add the absinthe fairy and also for him to play with the trademark, but how everything eventually worked out. His team was known as the "Baz Circus" because everything was so chaotic, but how Baz could convince anyone of anything. It talked about how he gave 110% to every part of the film which made it have the success it had.

Evaluation: This was a useful source, because it talked about Luhrmann and what was going through his mind. It showed the chaos from the production and how his crew saw him. It gave a different perspective.

Reflection: This article will be helpful in my research paper, because I am focusing more on the behind the scenes and Baz Luhrmann's point of view rather than just the melodramatic aspects of the film. It gives me more of an idea of what happened during the production.
