RENT

This is a very interesting musical movie, it is about a group of Bohemian friends that live in a rented building. They suffer a lot of problems because they don’t have enough money to pay the rent, some of them are involved in drugs and some others are infected with AIDS. It takes place in East New York in the year of 1989, it is a very poor zone, where almost everybody is involved in drugs or violence.

This movie is very sad, because people’s lives are very hard. There are two gay couples, one of them is infected with AIDS. After living a “normal” life, one of the guys died.

There is another heterosexual couple, the girl is also infected with AIDS but also she is addicted to drugs. After living a very hard life working as a dancer and also suffering the addictions and poverty, she dies. Her couple and all the friends suffer a lot when they had to see how their friends where suffering. They had to take care of them for the last moments alive.

These are the most important characters in the movie because they show us how people with AIDS has to survive, both of them doesn’t have enough money to pay the treatment and they have to work on nights to get something.

We can see in this movie the daily life of these people and it is very hard because we see that even when they are unemployed and sick they try to always look at the good things.

It is very hard to see the last moments of people, that here is nothing more you can do you just watch them until they die. We all know that most of the people with HIV/AIDS can’t pay for the health services or doesn’t have anything to eat, and without it people die.
