It's about six people [two gay people (one who's a cross dresser) two lesbians (actually, I think one of the girls is bi) and a straight couple] who all have HIV/AIDS. They're living in the slums (dunno what else to call it) of New York and are struggling to pay their RENT.
ehh...Your KINDA there. For one, they don't all have HIV/AIDS. Only Collins/Angel (the gay couple as you put it) And Mimi/Roger(the straight couple.) Yes one of the females is Bi(Maureen.) And the others a Lesbian. They're living in the East Village in the 1980's (which at the time, it pretty much was the slums) Mimi is struggling with herione addiction as well as HIV/AIDS and Roger is a recovering herione addict. Along with the struggle to pay RENT from there landlord (and old roomate,) Benny.
i always cry when i hear this it makes me realize how many friends i loved and lost to aids or just death in general....Its really a great song if u listen to the lyrics!
Yes, the guy from Law AND Order sings really WELL. His name is Jesse L. Martin. Tracie Thoms also has an amazing voice. She makes my eyes water. Everyone in the movie sings well but I think they sing the best.
I just love the movie and J. Larson's songs! He's a genius, and I can, much like Sokufan did, say that RENT will be a favorite of mine for years to come. ^^
We listened to this song all the time at Interlochen, as the guy that wrote rent went to Interlochen. I heard it so much, I couldn't stand, but know I really like it!!! lol
Ahh, I love this song. I think I've finally started realizing what it was about (After having watched the movie a few days ago). I now must say, "Rent is one of my favorite movies!"
