The Moulin Rouge is a night club but also a brothel. The main female character is a famous, sought-after, prostitute, so there are two extended scenes in which she is trying seductively to please clients, but no actual sex is shown. One man in love with the prostitute begs her to sleep with him, but she tells him he can't because he can't afford to pay. A man and a woman, nude but wrapped in sheets apparently after sex, sing a song. We see various cancan girls, dancing and occasionally showing/flashing their underwear (as we see them spreading their legs along with a few close-ups of their crotches in lingerie) and/or showing cleavage.There's a whole song about the girl wanting to become a virgin again.
A man grabs a woman violently, chases her and throws her to the floor and onto a bed after tearing off some of her clothing. A man shoots a gun at a man twice, and a man is threatened with a gun. A man knocks a man to the floor with a blow to the head; we see some blood trickle from the wound as it is being dressed. A man hits a man in the crotch. A man is punched in the face and dropped on a street; we see his bruised cheek. A man is punched in the face and falls back onto the ground, and a man is knocked out by a sandbag falling on his head. A woman coughs violently, gasping for air and spits out blood in several scenes; in one she is unconscious and receives a shot in the arm. A man falls through the ceiling of a man's apartment and dangles, unconscious, by his foot; another man falls from stage scaffolding, swings from a rope and slides across a stage. A woman falls unconscious from a high swing and is caught before she hits the floor. A woman imagines being violently tied to a bed. A man blows fire that nearly singes a man's hair. There are a few threats of violence (to kill a man, to destroy a dance club). A man sobs hysterically after a woman dies in his arms.http://www.kids-in-mind.com/m/moulin_rouge_2001.htm
At least 1 use of "damn" as an exclamation.There are a few sexual references, a racial slur and some name-calling.The strongest word in the film is "whore"
We see Satine holding a cigarette in a long cigarette holder, while the Duke's henchman smokes a cigar and various miscellaneous characters also smoke in several scenes.There is a party at which five main characters drink absinthe, act drunk and have hallucinations. Many people in the Moulin Rouge are drinking and appear intoxicated.
The Duke grabs Satine by her wrists and forces her to the floor. He then chases after her in his tower and it then appears that he's behind her, trying to rip off her clothes. He then pushes her down onto a bed, apparently ready to rape her, but a man from the play suddenly shows up and punches the Duke, rendering him unconscious.
