@mcneilmoe It's a very powerful monologue... Try to be more open minded. And please don't use the word "queer" in that way if the people you're talking about aren't homosexual.
I'm really obsessed with Diet Coke (I drink like 4 cans a day.. I don't have a problem..) and when I first watched this with my friends they all looked at me when she said, "We only drink.... Diet Coke." It was quite humorous. XD
That is not the point of the arts. Yuck. That is the most superficial of the arts. Yes, lots of time great art does point boundaries, but that is in NO WAY the point of it.
I watched the stage version Friday night for the first time.. It was amazing! and I'm now in love with it.. But.. I have no clue what the show is about?? I get it's about sex, gays and aids, I just don't get the mentally about it.. if that makes sense? "/
@Jessaayy96 its about living life for "no day but today" because you never know when its going to end. it teaches not to harp on the petty stuff and live for love

"You kicked me out of my apartment because I'm too lazy to get a job to pay the rent. So now I'll b*tch about it to a crowd of people through a pretentious musical number!"
@MrOhmygoditsben I understand art and awards don't mean crap. I just don't think this movie (and the original stage show) is anything spectacular. The direction is lazy, the music is bland MTV rock, the lyrics are pathetic attempts at Stephen Sondheim, the characters are 2-dimensional stereotypes (especially the LGBT characters sadly), and the overall story is just a series of cliched dramatic events that don't lead to anything beyond the audiences' expectations. Plus, it's unbelievably dated.
@ThePhantom135 this movie explains that if two men, or two women, or man and women have aids. they just think that if they both have aids they have sex it wont matter, but this movie is trying to get the message out that aids is a smart virus and it multiplies every time you have sex. and you will die. that was not an opinion, it was you being a dick and making a joke of this movie. maybe if you could watch this movie and actually think about what it means, you would get it.
@MrOhmygoditsben Chill out. I wasn't commenting on AIDS. I was commenting on the pretension of this song (along with the movie and stage play). Just because it talks about a serious subject doesn't mean it's good. I know plenty of movies, plays, and even musicals that talk about AIDS in a much better way than RENT.
as brilliant as Idina is this is one of those songs that doesnt really translate that well from the broadway stage to the movie screen. you need a live audience to really get it :\
Ya know, when I was younger watching this movie I thought that this scene had a lot of hidden meanings and metaphors for what was going on back then. I'm now older and I still don't get what the hell this means.
@ign2221 its about the corporate world gaining power and not letting people be who they want...and the cow and the girl escaped it all and invited others to join them by asking them to moo...
Uhm... First of all, Maureen isn't a lesbian, she's bisexual, as clearly stated from the fact that she dated Mark before Joanne. Second of all, she doesn't have aids. Third of all I don't get how people don't understand this... If you'd watch the movie and actually LISTEN then you might understand it better.
I watched this for the first time and didn't get it. I asked my friend who has seen this movie all her life. She had no clue. But now I get that she wanted milk and met some new friends on the way but she wanted to leave so the talking cow told her to jump " OVER THE MOON" so it now makes perfect sense that infact Idina Menzel plays a retarded lesbian with AIDS. Okeyy then.
This scene is all sarcasm! Its saying you can't do anything, forbidden to do what you want in the hell whole apparement they are living in, yet they are making the best of it. "the only way is up" is do have happiness when you die. This scene is probably the most symbolic scene in the whole movie. Next time really pay attention to it and think about how they are living and the song really does speak for itself
What. A. Voice! I know I'm saying what we already know, but Idina Menzel is simply amazing!
