**Bounce**Bounce**Bounce**Bounce**Bounce**Bounce**!!
I think it is four or five times I've seen it now and it is so f*cking COOL! And the music is totally awesome!
Here is a synopsis in case you have been living with a tribe of South American indians all your life and you have never heard of the play:
"The big-screen adaptation of Jonathan Larson's 1996 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning musical (which itself was based on Puccini's 'La Boheme'), 'Rent' chronicles a year in the lives of a group of New York City East Villagers. During a 525,600-minute span of their existence, these bohemians grapple with everything from paying the rent on time to being rent apart by love, drugs, AIDS and death. Featuring Rosario Dawson and members of the original theatrical cast -- including Anthony Rapp, Adam Pascal, Taye Diggs and Jesse L. Martin -- 'Rent' shows that even amidst such adversity love and hope can thrive if only we realize that there is no day but today."
With so many members of the original cast, can there be too many complaints about a movie version?
I sure as shit hope not!
Here are the lyrics to the song hinted at in the synopsis...
Seasons of Love
525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love?
How about love? How about love?
Measure in love.
Seasons of love.
525,600 minutes! 525,000 journeys to plan.
525,600 minutes - how can you measure the life of a woman or man?
In truths that she learned,
or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned,
or the way that she died.
It’s time now to sing out,
tho the story never ends
let's celebrate
remember
a year in the life of friends.
Remember the love!
Remember the love!
Remember the love!
Measure in love.
Seasons of love! Seasons of love.
And I thought I was waiting for "Phantom!"
