He specially bought this DVD and gave it to me. I tried very hard and watched it twice. Because I also want to learn, this kind of outlook on life. I finally understand that free and easy is not the kind of recklessness when young and crazy, because when there is nothing, there is no courage at all. The true bravery and unrestrainedness is the burden on the back, still smiling and facing the loss. "If you can't let go, you can only live in fear forever." This is a line in "Rent".
I used to think for a long time why this musical is called "Rent", and now I think I finally understand. For a lifetime, why must we care about possession-possessing material, possessing emotion, possessing a person? So we spend too much time worrying about the possibilities tomorrow and beyond. In fact, I think what this musical is trying to tell us is that we don’t need to own (own), we just need to rent (rent). We can still get everything we want, we still give it wholeheartedly, and we don't care, we are unrestrained.
The Chinese name of the movie is "Gee House Rental". This translation wipes out all the meanings in one fell swoop. It is a masterpiece of the film translation circle. The film is actually adapted from Puccini's opera "La Boheme" (Bohemian), which is a lost city and ideal full of art, passion, and freedom. Viva La Boheme! The same is said in the musical "Rent". In fact, it is very sad, because most of the characters in the musical are suffering from AIDS, and all the glory and pursuit can only bloom in a flash. But every life, six to seventy years is like a day, so why not all the white horses passing the gap, are they all the same short-lived? No day but today, I live each day as my last.
There is only us
There is only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss
No other road
No other way
No day but today
(Actually, there is only ourselves
in the world , in fact, there is only everything around us now,
leaving regrets and worrying behind,
or you will miss your whole life.
Actually there is nothing else
In fact, there is no other way of the road, in fact, there is no other
day except today)
