Paying Rent

I didn't pay to see Rent and I'm ok with that. Excellent vocal work, imagery, and thematic depth. But that said, it was pretty long, and there was constant singing. A flawless interpretation of the broadway forerunner, capturing the life and death and minutes in between of bohemians in the East Village of NYC.

Aids, poverty, homosexuality, art make a rather poignant and memorable few hours. It's an education, a history class, an art lesson, and a cource on relationships all in just a few hours.

That's more than enough for a movie that speaks for itself.
