Ah Rent.
Just the mere word can send shivers down my spine…
Most of you probably think I’m crazy right now but those of you who understand the word Rent your probably feeling similar feelings as me right now.
Well for all your Rent virgins out there let me clear things up for you. Rent began as a broad way play and is still very popular to this day in 2005 it was made into a movie and in my eyes is one of the greatest musicals of all time. Everything about it is amazing. I’m completely obsessed. Let me tell you why, well for starters Rent is the story of young musicians and artists struggling to survive and in New York
I’m going to be talking about the movie version as it is more easily accessible for any readers who may be interested, even if you’re not interested give it a shot, sit down and watch the whole thing.
Just the first note in the opening song can give you goose bumps and trust me the movie only gets better from there. The movie rent taught me many things, it taught me how to love and live every moment as if it were its last, and the way this movie taught me that was so unexpected that every time I watch the movie again I learn something new from it. For example people our age don’t really realize how much can happen and change in only a short amount of time.
This movie takes place over the span of a full year and once you finish watching it you start realizing how much can happen to you in just a years time… you start focusing more on the little things and the relationships between you and everyone you interact with.
Think about this, picture your closest friend right now, the one who isn’t afraid to tell you those things you can’t even admit to yourself. Now picture them leaving… what would you do? Chances are you wouldn’t know what to do at all, you would be a mess, of course you would try going on with regular everyday life like before but without that friend there who is there to talk to about those things that just spill out of us when were in the presence of that special friend? Now think about that friend still but think about what you would do if they left unexpectedly? Life would suck wouldn’t it?
After seeing the movie my relationships with my friends changed, because people are unpredictable and you simply don’t know how long they’re going to be there for so you should treat every moment with those special friends as if it were your last and I made my friends present of how much I admired them after seeing the movie just in case they left. Rent has so many good lessons in it that its actually an advantage to watch it as apposed to not.
Every single song in the movie is on my ipod and theyre all songs in which when I get to when I press shuffle I dont skip over, yea they're that good. One of my favourite songs is called Will I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgQq8TTty9A and my second favourite I cant give you a link to as it would give to much of the story away but you can go watch the movie and listen to all 27 songs yourself.
HOPE YOU WATCH IT!
Measure your life in love
