Rent

I recently went to see the movie Rent with Mr. T (new alias). The Broadway play now on the big screen. I’ve never seen the play and did not even know much about the movie. The young artistic crowd that was in the theater made us feel a little out of place, but since when did that bother Mr. T & I? It took me a couple of days to digest the movie & decide what I thought about it. In general, I like it. I like that it was thought provoking for me & challenged me to actually think – or maybe Mr. T challenged me to think. Anyway, the movie made me feel uncomfortable. The life style in the movie is a life style that I am not familiar with; therefore, it took me out of my comfort zone. What I liked about the movie was seeing a life style that I am thankfully not a part of & the dynamics of the characters. It also showed that people with a “scandalous” life style still have their own set of values that they live by & I can appreciate that about people. The best part about seeing the movie was having Mr. T sing to me his thoughts about the movie. I thought I would never laugh so much again in my life, little did I know the straw story was going to happen Thanksgiving night...
