Rent is a musical drama film that was released in 2005. The story revolves around a group of young artists who are struggling to get by in New York City's East Village in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The main characters include aspiring filmmaker Mark Cohen, musician Roger Davis, dancer Mimi Marquez, performance artist Maureen Johnson, her lawyer girlfriend Joanne Jefferson, and philosopher Tom Collins.
The group is faced with a number of challenges and social issues. Roger is dealing with his own grief and depression after losing his girlfriend to AIDS. Mimi is also suffering from the disease, but hides it from her friends. Meanwhile, Maureen and Joanne are navigating their own struggles as a same-sex couple in a society that is still highly intolerant of homosexuality.
Throughout the film, the characters grapple with these challenges while trying to make sense of their lives and find a sense of purpose in their art. They also struggle to pay their rent, which serves as a symbol of their financial instability and the broader societal forces that are working against them.
One of the central themes of the movie is the importance of chosen family and the bonds of friendship that can sustain us even in the darkest of times. The film also explores issues of identity, creativity, and social justice, making it a powerful commentary on the cultural and political climate of the era in which it is set.
