Whos rent is late?

I have now restarted this 2 or 3 times and may restart it again. I was completely confused on how or who to complete this blog. So I am just going to do it and hope that my interpretation of this assignment is right.

Now days you have all of these different people and lifestyles. So why do you have to make such a big deal of how other people choose to live their lives? The movie/play "Rent" is know for its musical manuscript. Many people find it as a hard thing to watch because it involves gays and HIV two of the most down looked subjects our society lives with.

Though everyday millions of people infect themselves in ways that can be prevented, we still have it. In Rent it gives you a new look on things. It gives you a look into the people who lived it and the trial and tribulation that many people go through to overcome the milestones. Some of the milestones they cross are the HIV virus, and also being openly gay in New York City, and then you also have the homeless factor that they are trying to evict them from where they are living. Their friend was in the same perdictament and married in to the landlords daughter and told them that he would help them out with their rent cause they were trying t get their lives together. Well soon he turns his back on them.

They meet a man by the name of Angel he is a transsexual man who falls for Collins a professor who was let go for being gay. Angel then teaches them allow to love and be proud of who they are. Now I don't care what movie you watch anymore they all have happy endings. Well Angel passes and soon they all grow apart and go their own way. This is a play/movie that is based on real life and not just some script that actors are paid to read. This made a big impact on the gay community as well as those infected with the HIV virus.

I believe this play/movie is the one that made people of those communities realize that there is people out there in this world who are not haters or have hatred. Rent was a very good play as well as movie. I think it was more on a reality level rather than a happily ever after.
