Thread: Any "RENT" fans here?

Never saw the movie, but enjoyed the play.

I saw the movie in class, it was ok, but i must admit it was rather depressing. How did it go. One hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes!! haha i don't know the words properly

Its the sort of thing I wish my immature friends could understand and join me in

I know exactly how you feel.

I love Rent! I'm actually a recovering obsessive over it. I'm one of those people who saw the movie before the play. Though, I remember when I was in the theater at the opening part with all of them standing there on the stage I knew right then I would love this movie. After, that I saw the movie about 5 + times before it hit DVD. I have yet to see the musical, they did come to Toronto but I didn't have enough money. Anyway, I know what you mean it by the whole theme of it being liberating (sp). They show how life is exposed to be lived.

Though, have you seen the alternative ending? It’s on the DVD anyway when I saw that I wished they kept it. I found it way better, but that’s just me. Also , with the extension of Goodbye love.”

Great movie all in all.

“No day but today”

I haven't seen the AE! Ooooh, now I really wanna buy the DVD >_<!
To the peeps who haven't seen it yet, SEE IT gawdammit!

And - LucidSeeker, wut class did you see it in? The whole thing could have fit in so many, Philosophy, Musical Theater, Drama, Choir, etc.

I actually watched it in my Expressive Arts class, its a fairly new subject i believe, basically its a class in which you express arts in a variety of ways from musicals to films etc, it was definately my best subject, was i right with the lyrics?

lol, yeh. Those were the right numbers
Wow, Expressive Arts? That's fucking awesome!! Did you see the whole movie in it?

Yeah i did, it was ok but annoying because some people didn't turn up for the lesson so each lesson we had to re-watch some of the bits we'd already seen. not bad of a film though.

We sang some of the songs back in High School, but I had never seen the play. (The movie didn't come out until years later.) I didn't see it in the theater, but waited until it came out on DVD. It was awhile before I got a chance to watch it and I didn't really like it all that much. I watched it again after it came out on cable and I've seen it hundreds of times since then. I even made my own quiz about the movie.

OMG im obsessed with it!! Ive never seen it live but i own the movie and i have seen it like a billon times.

I think Lease was miles beyond it.

I grudginly watched the movie with my wife, but didn't expect much. I really dislike most musicals. It turns out I really enjoyed it, and will probably watch it again.

i really didnt like the movie, it kind of annoyed me.

I saw a danish version of the musical and I thougt it was very good. And kinda weird. Don't know if what happend in this was in the "real" play, but one of the girls turned out to be a man !
