I've seen it 3 times, but plan to see it more, on the big screen of course! *dreams for IMAX*
I loved the movie! When Angel died, tears were streaming down my face, meeting under my chin and running down my shirt.
I wasn't sure if I'd cry in the movie when Angel died. With the play, you see Collins and Angel all the time on stage, getting closer and you feel the love that they share. With the movie, they're not always on screen and you can't see that lovey dovey-ness. I wasn't sure if it would be conveyed the way that the play does, in order to make me cry. I don't know if that makes sense.
But anyways, it all worked out. I was just about sobbing the first and second time I saw it, which is a good thing. The third time I was just crying, not sobbing.
I loved the beginning, where everyone was singing Rent. It sounded awesome! La Vie Boheme was cool. Seriously, I think I smiled for 75% of the movie!
Man, I am just impressed, pleased, excited! It turned out SO good! Hey, my favorite play was made into an awesome movie!
Humankind. Be Both.
