Good Gad, how can anyone hate RENT? Admittedly I am a major broadway junkie, but it is still an amazing film.When my friend and I first saw it the peole in front of us were crying and the people behind us were singing and as soon as it ended we ran into the nearest music store and bought the soundtrack. within a week we had all the songs memorized and our other friends had a developed escape plan for when we started singing (until the saw it of course, then they were immediately converted). I think the reason most critics don`t like RENT is because they`re not used to seeing todays major issues on the big screen, and being sung about nonethel
Rent is now my favorite movie of all time. I listen to the soundtrack daily, and more often than not you`ll find me singing "I`ll Cover You" absently in my classes. I believe it shows that even the "extreme" social groups can love and feel and hate and have the same struggles as anyone else. I have to say, I cried so hard I couldn`t breathe in the theatre when Angel died, and the I`ll Cover You Reprise still brings tears to my eyes.
I think it`s the most brilliant movie of all times. It has every emotions, and the music is outstanding.
I loved the movie soooooo much! I sobbed my eyes out at the end, but it really inspired me to live my life in the now, & not worry about stupid stuff.
To comment on a previous post. I do have a favorite line. It`s track number 10 on the cd. It`s called "Another Day" I love this part where Mimi sings. I can`t stop singing it over and over again, cuz it has so much meaning in it: Mimi: Your heart may freeze, or it can burn, the pain will ease, if I can learn. There is no future, there is no past. I live this moment as my last. Kara B.
Only for those who saw the play. It absolutely DOESN`T work as a movie.
This has to be the only movie I have seen this year that made me laugh AND cry. I loved it! I am buying it the second it comes out on DVD!
I`ve read some other comments about RENT from movie critics who thought this movie was only about AIDS, and there for, ruined the film, and was not worth seeing. Well to them I say
YAWWWNNNNNNN is it over yet?
This is by far the best movie that I have seen in a very long time. The cast did amazing, the songs were awsome and it captures your attention from the get go. My new favorite movie!!!!!!!
