Week 2 Post

Moulin Rouge is significant to the study of pop-culture because it mixes both low and high culture. Musicals have always been considered high culture while pop-music has previously been considered low culture. The mixing of the two automatically made the film almost a cult-classic by appealing to multiple audiences. It also prepared the way for similar films to be created; these films include: Across the Universe and Sweeney Todd. Neibur's model for understanding Christ and culture is inadequate because it is outdated.
