Movie Review: "RENT"

This time, I’m going to introduce everyone a movie “RENT”. This movie is drawn about the bright young days of young people no matter how poor they are. They dream of being a musician and an image writer and so on but they can’t pay the rent of the apartment where they live every month. It’s the companion’s story for one year from Christmas day. The dramatis personae are all individualistic, they are all artistic-oriented young people such as a musician, an image writer and a dancer. The dramatis personae are a musician who had played an active part as a member of formerly popular rock band. But he is staying indoors at home now because he lost heart because of his girlfriend’s death and his disease “AIDS”. He is charmed by a dancer who lives in a room downstairs but he can’t step forward and speakto her readily. Next, his roommate is an image writer, his girlfriend deserted him and she is going around with a woman who works as a lawyer now. This movie intertwines with various dramas such a love triangle, a new romance and a formerly mate begins to ejects the young people from the apartment because he became a brilliant now. The young people live dreaming of their tomorrow at the lower levels in New York. And this movie incorporates present-day themes such AIDS and homosexuality. The last scene incorporates love, sadness and hope at a friend’s death and a new departure. The young people have a strong feeling for each other but they think that they lead a free and uninhibited life from the world. They gradually make gentle friendships and romances but they are addicted to drugs, are suffering from AIDS, can’t pay rent of the apartment every month. All dramatis personae believe friends, help each other and live as hard as they could even if they are very poor, contract AIDS and are homosexual.

This time, I watched this movie “RENT” for the first time. I’m happy I could meet with it. I was such an impressed that I had gooseflesh from the opening song. The musical speak for mental cry for the young people and the musical was very moving. The story is fairly simple but it was a profound meaning. I was very interested in how each character changed their way of life for one year. I could think that I’m going to work harder at something as hard as I could from now on after I watched this movie. And it gave me love, courage and vitality because I can really felt feeling “I want to live tomorrow!” That’s why I felt that I’m happy only live now. I thought that live as hard as oneself day by day is very important even if difficulty happens. I didn’t think that this movie is very old because the theme of this movie is present-day problems in Japan butthis movie was shown in the old days. And I felt that this movie was very interesting because there were a lot of songs and the characters were very individualistic. I wanted to sing together in the middle of the movie because the songs and dances the actors did were very wonderful and the harmony of songs were very beautiful. I was intoxicated by the wonderful songs. I learned a lot of important things on my life from this movie. I want people who are worried about life and haven’t watched this movie yet to watch it by all means. I would like to watch it when I will be worried about my life in the future.
