I'm not sure that either film can make any great claim to being "subtle", and not sure that all interesting film has to "invite you to use your imagination". Sometimes it's good to be clubbed or sledgehammered; perhaps that's what the director intended, I don't know. It also, in my opinion, doesn't have to always be "real" to be interesting or rewarding. Neither one of these films is particularly "real", but that doesn't mean they're not worth watching. My post was really to compare the two films, which in many ways are strikingly similar with respect to subject matter. While Moulin Rouge was an ok and somewhat entertaining watch, I just felt that "Dancer" was a more interesting film, perhaps not without flaws, but with a bit more to say.
