"Rent" the movie!

Today, I would like to introduce you a movie called "Rent".

Some of you may have watched before, but anyway, the movie "Rent", was first a rock opera which was shown in Broadway, New York.

The story itself is mainly based on a opera "La boheme" by Giacomo Puccin, and different from the original opera version, location and a time setting were changed from Paris 1830 to New York 1989.
New version of the opera "La boheme", "Rent"(musical) was written by a composer Jonathan Larson.
In the story of "Rent", it shows how young people in New York in 1989 was living, with some problems such as HIV/AIDS, addiction to drugs, homosexuality and ethnic minority.

It is about 2 hours movie, and there are lots of things we could learn from this movie and sympathy with.
