This is a beautiful show...I'm sure the Broadway musical is gorgeous but as I don't have a Gulfstream to jet me off to NY, I'll have to make do with....







































It touches on aspects of life that are mostly categorized as the minority....bohemians...gays...lesbians...anachists...people dying of AIDS and learning to live without fear...there are so many moments in this film that makes me tear up...not to mention beautiful songs like, "Seasons of Love", "No Day But Today" etc... And the quiet strength in this show is very VERY touching though it might be a wee bit too liberal for some.

Synopsis:

The big-screen adaptation of Jonathan Larson's 1996 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning musical (which itself was based on Puccini's 'La Boheme'), 'Rent' chronicles a year in the lives of a group of New York City East Villagers. During a 525,600-minute span of their existence, these bohemians grapple with everything from paying the rent on time to being rent apart by love, drugs, AIDS and death. Featuring Rosario Dawson and members of the original theatrical cast -- including Anthony Rapp, Adam Pascal, Taye Diggs and Jesse L. Martin -- 'Rent' shows that even amidst such adversity love and hope can thrive if only we realize that there is no day but today.
