At the beginning, I listened to mp3 of musicals. Those who didn't understand it thought it was pretty good. The style is quite fresh and it sounds good. I only fully understood the plot after watching the adapted film today, and I was immediately convinced.
First of all, I think foreigners are very good. Such a drama in which more than half of the characters are homosexuals and/or AIDS patients can gain thorough mainstream recognition, including various awards and numerous box offices. This shows how high the quality of mainstream audiences in Europe and America are, and China has really been unable to keep up with it for decades.
They are far from having such a positive stance on AIDS based on sympathy and mutual assistance from the beginning. Is it because they have faith? Or do you master the power of the market? Their education of the masses is extremely successful.
Watching this play can be very associated with Avenue Q (Q Street), which is also a Tony Award-winning musical. They all describe the lives of people at the bottom of modern cities, and they all describe modern new love stories that include heterosexuality and homosexuality, all in a young and modern style. Relatively speaking, Rent is more realistic, relatively niche (? The protagonists are artists), and the music should be better. Avenue is more relaxed, creative and younger.
ps believe that some people think this drama is too weird, as if it has no connection with life experience, and find it difficult to understand. I just want to say that the fact is that the eyes and ears of the Chinese people have been blinded for too long, and they are ignorant to the point of sadness. Similar people or stories are not far away from us. Everyone has them around, but they don’t know or deliberately ignore them.
