Looking for hope in despair

Will I lose my dignity, will someone care? Will I wake tomorrow, from this nightmare?

What does it feel like to hear a large group of people from the bottom of society repeat these words? Among them are people with AIDS, frustrated musicians, and down-and-out street people. I just want to say that Rent this musical is really shocking. This group of helpless people gathered together, caring for each other, and frankly speaking out their weaknesses, suddenly burst out with great strength, when they walked out of the gathering center, they had become different people. In fact, the best way to maintain dignity is to let go of dignity. The hope of waking up from a nightmare comes from the constant questioning of despair.

I watched most of Rent in one go, the modern version of "Bohemians", and I still remember that I once bought an old version of "Bohemians", after all, I started a game because I was not used to the old-fashioned style and left it alone. where. This Rent is indeed more modern and realistic. Except that the middle part of the Bohemian lifestyle is not very adaptable (understandable, but unacceptable), the whole musical is still very natural and sincere, and sensational. It was in place, and I was moved to tears at the end. This modern version of the theme has added attention to the alienation between people and the understanding and care of marginalized people. It has a strong humanistic color and is much fuller than the original Punicchi's original work. This time, the screenwriter chose to let Mimi survive. It is not difficult to accept. Why can only tragedy awaken people's sincerity? The gay AIDS patient Angel in the play really became the Angel in the play. He was the weak person who needed everyone's help the most, but he exploded with huge energy, which is really intriguing. The music is very modern, although it is not very good, but it is very suitable for every scene.

In addition to Seasons of Love, I really like the ending song, especially the lyrics "forget regret, or life is yours to miss."
