the movie is "lifechanging". I can't stop thinking about it, analyzing the characters, thinking of so many others who have lived similar stories throughout history, thinking that love is love between any two people, and how can so much hatred be in our world, in our own country (bigotry, ignorance, homophobia), how could this happen in our society? The reaction of some people to the movie, who haven't seen it and who refuse to see it, shows that there is still much ignorance (or intolerance) even today.
in other words, it's a thought provoking movie. It is not a "chick flick" as some guy friend of mine put it as he was saying he wasn't interested in seeing it. it is a beautiful, heartbreaking story, with outstanding actors and incredible cinematography.
I simply loved it. I want to see it again very soon.

Tootsie,
I have not seen it yet, but your explaination are my sentiments exactly. It's just too sad that people get so phobic on these categories or classes of people. If someone is different, then they are weird, freaky, queer or whatever the favorite name calling of the day is. I guess they're supposed to be just like everyone else. So sad... the intolerance will never stop.

I haven't seen it, but I just read a letter in a local newspaper that someone had seen it 4 times and could see it again. Another person said it was slow, but beautiful. I agree with the message and I think I loved the film Rent for the same reasons---tolerance and acceptance of people no matter how different they may be from us.

What reminded me of "Rent" in that post was that I had just gotten back from driving my daughter's car and the CD from the movie was playing in it.
She is also obsessed with the movie and music and I think it was good for her to see a very different side of life than the area we live in.

It was a good movie, not at all what I thought it would be..it was more the individual lives of the 2 men involved, and how they coped with the situatiuon. Tolerence was not very high back in the 60's & 70's...I would like to think people are more tolerent these days...but still very afraid of what they consider "abnormal" ::any kind of love is normal...as long as the individuals involved are happy with the situation and are not hurting any one else...LOVE IS LOVE...pure and simple!
I haven't seen the movie yet. IMHO, it is up to us to teach our children tolerence. I have tried my best.
