oh my goodness, i'm soooo super excited! one of my most favorite musicals is coming to the big screen! like pia said, 525,600 minutes, how do you measure, measure a year? such a poignant question... in daylights? in sunsets? in midnights? in cups of coffee? in pictures? in miles? in laughter? in strife?...
Watch the trailer now!
and for those who've never seen or heard of it, here's a synopsis:
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.
the music from this musical is so powerful, and i feel like it's in a very untraditional style with all the rock that's in it. to tell you the truth, i was so confused and bewildered the first time i saw it and it took reading the soundtrack and watching it again to fully appreciate it. i absolutely love it, love it, love it! i can't wait!

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
