How do you measure a year

"Rent" is a movie about love, and it's a very special movie. Why do I say it's special? This is because its protagonist is a group of "minorities" in society, some "minorities" who are not treated by others. But it was these "few" that taught me what love is.

This film is based on Puccini's opera "The Bohemian", and to be honest the film does look richer than the musical version, but it has a different flavor. It tells the story of a group of young people in a humble apartment on the top floor of an old building. Among them are two roommates Roger and Mark who are not going well because of their artistic career, Collins, a college teacher who is not doing well at work, and his partner Angel Dress Queen), a dancing girl Mimi, a performance artist Maureen and a lawyer Joanne. They have a common feature is that they all suffer from AIDS, and they are not understood by people. Although life is very difficult, they do not give up hope for life in such an environment, and imagine that one day they will return to a better life.

Among all the characters, my favorite is Angel. Although he is a drag queen and is not understood (even disgusting) by many people, he is the kindest and purest person in this movie. Because he has no money and is very poor, he will pick up curtains that other people don't want on the street, and go home to make clothes. The magic is that every time he makes clothes, it will become popular in the store. When encountering travelers who don't know the way on the street, he will kindly guide them or take them to where they want to go. Although the other party expresses no gratitude to him, even fear, incomprehension and disgust, He will do the same next time. He suffers from AIDS, but he still lives happily every day, with a smile on his face forever, fantasizes about a better life in the future with Collins, and goes to Santa Fe to open a restaurant of his own. It's a pity that they don't have this chance anymore. I don't know if God found such an angel scattered in the world. Angel ended his life in pain after Valentine's Day. Inside the church Collins was reminiscing about his love, and outside the church Mimi and Roger were arguing, and this time there was no one to stop them, because the person who did it in the past has died. As the argument grew, Collins stopped and told them the family was falling apart, they stopped but Mimi and Roger left. Days passed, one day Roger found Mimi dying in the park, just when everyone thought she was dead, Mimi suddenly opened her eyes again and said that she seemed to see Angel, Angel was her guardian angel, let herself Live well. And this movie also came to an end in everyone's singing of love.

Angel made me understand that there are still such kind and pure people in an indifferent society. It also made me understand that love is everything, and it made me understand that in a difficult life, never give up hope and live happily forever. how important. Although he is not understood and has a profession that everyone despises, he is kind and pure, and he is also worthy of respect! Respect has no distinction between high and low. He will always be the beautiful little angel in our hearts, and "Rent" will always be the white moonlight in my heart.

(Just a personal opinion, don't spray if you don't like it, thank you!)
