My Favorite Movie: RENT

My all-time favorite movie is Rent based on the broadway play of the same name.  It stars Anthony Rapp, Adam Pascal, Rosario Dawson and Taye Diggs.  This movie is based on the lives of six Bohemians in an apartment building in New York City and their struggle to survive.  They each have their own issues with which they have to deal, such as drug abuse, disease, sexuality, and the overwhelming threat of failure.  Nonetheless, they are forced to overcome these obstacles while performing the most difficult task of all, sticking together. I have scene this movie more times than I can remember, and I know practically the whole dialogue verbatim. I even have the soundtrack on my iPod so that I can listen to it all the time.  I love this movie because it offers hope in the dimmest of situations and it shows that power of togetherness in one of the most divided cities in the world, New York City. I recommend this movie to anyone, especially young adults who like empowering and uplifting films.  I do not, however, recommend anyone to watch this movie with me because I like to sing all of the songs, and I definitely am no Beyonce.
