The idea of interspersing 20th century masterpieces
On the other hand, what must not be forgotten about this work is the presence of famous songs scattered throughout the entire story. The song, sung with soul by Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, moved people all over the world, and not only the movie but also the soundtrack album recorded huge sales. So how did the idea to use this existing masterpiece come about?
At one point, he even considered interspersing original songs like a traditional musical movie. But that lacks persuasive power. After all, the main character is the world's greatest poet, and everything he sings is so beautiful that even the trees, flowing rivers, and pebbles are mesmerizing.

Let's use them as storytellers to weave a story. This is how the special style of this work was created. It is said that it was a difficult journey to clear all the rights, but it was worth it to be able to sing the supreme number of the 20th century as if ``looking ahead to the future'' from the end of the 19th century, where the setting is set. became possible.
