Rent (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)

Date undefined

I always planned to see Rent (the stage version) I pass the Nederlander Theatre ALL THE TIME. I just didn't do it. When the movie came out I planned to go to and see it. (I didn't)

One I was stuck in bed with a badly sprained ankle & I ound a website where you can watch entire movies for free online. I found myself thinking of what movies I wanted to see but hadn't, I thought of Rent and pleased when the search engine had found it. I realized then that I wanted to see it for 3 years, I didn't even realize it had been out that long.

Anyways I watched it & was blown away.

I was going to wait until the holidays and ask for it as a gift, but the message of Rent had already sunk in too deep & was tired of waiting for tomorrow - NO DAY BUT TODAY right? The first day I was back on my feet I went out & purchased the 2-disc DVD & the soundtrack.

I have been listening to the soundtrack ever since & I have watched the movie at least 3 times a week since I bought it.

It is either a love or hate thing. None of my friends get it, but that's okay, it means something to me. It has changed my whole perception on life and what's important.

It's a great movie & the music is incredible. Jonathan Larson made something real. His effort causes me to question my own motives and my own abilities. Just what could I contribute if I put today first?
