Corrected entry: "Moulin Rouge" is set in Paris 1899. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec experienced a nervous breakdown in 1899 and was incapacitated. He was in a clinic for three months, tried but failed to regain his health at a sea resort in Normandy, and was finally put under his mother's care for his final days in September of 1901. Therefore, Toulouse-Lautrec would not have even been in Montmartre because he was both physically and mentally ill.

Moulin Rouge (2001)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Christian, Satine, and the dancers are rehearsing "Come What May" Christian's outfit changes several different times. In one shot he is wearing a jacket and in the next shot he is wearing suspenders without a jacket. This changes several times right before he starts to sing with the dancers in that scene.
Correction: It's not one rehearsal - it's a montage showing several rehearsals.

Moulin Rouge (2001)
Corrected entry: After Christian throws his money at Satine's feet in the theater, he walks down the long aisle to the back of the theater, passing the Duke. At the beginning of his walk down the aisle, he takes off his long white coat and throws it on the aisle floor, visible. In the next shot, the coat disappears from the aisle.

Moulin Rouge (2001)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Satine dies in Christian's arms, there is a shot where the camera films above them just as Christian bursts into tears. Watch Satine's eyes very closely, because as Christian rocks back Satine's head falls forward and she blinks very slowly, even though she's been dead for at least a couple of minutes.

Correction: It's not supposed to be historically accurate, nothing within the movie fits into Lautrec's timeline. He's a fictionalized account of a real person.
