Guest guest Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Hey , I just saw Rent with my 13-year-old daughter and we both loved it, and can't wait to see it again. I have had two friends die of AIDS and others who have struggled with drug addiction and this movie really humanizes people with these difficulties. I LOVED the scene in the bar when they sing La Vie Boheme and say something about how the opposite of war is not peace but creativity. Such a beautiful movie, and it's all about love. Almost every song made me cry. Everyone should see it. I'm going to take all of my daughter's buddies (they're all boys)--we'll see how sniffly they get! Thanks for the great plug! xo Melinda Re: Rent I love the Tibetan beads! It probably sounds morbid to most, but not to me! I grew up around Tibetan monks. The Zen viewpoint, although not a Tibetan one, is more along the lines of what you are saying, that this is it and there ain't no more. I've studied Theology for 20 some years, I am ordained in 4 different religions, and it never ceases to amaze me how parallel and yet different each belief system is. The most important thing is to be comfortable in your own belief and not to live in fear. The bottom line is, it's a mystery! : ) Go out and enjoy Rent! I've been listening to it all day and have accomplished quite a bit of house cleaning that I have neglected for some time now. Hehehe If I'm going to live for today I may as well have a clean house that I feel good about, right? LOLhugs,PS Melinda, I can tell by your email address that we probably have a lot in common. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
