Set in the late 1980s-early 1990s, Rent follows a group of young and struggling artists living in the East Village of New York City. The film centers around their battles against poverty, discrimination, and the looming presence of AIDS, while also exploring themes of friendship, love, and expression.
The main characters include Mark Cohen, a filmmaker, and Roger Davis, a musician and former drug addict. Mark is documenting the lives of his friends and capturing the essence of the bohemian lifestyle in the city. Roger, haunted by the death of his girlfriend from AIDS, is struggling to find inspiration for his music.
Mark and Roger's friend, Tom Collins, an anarchist philosophy professor, is mugged on the street, where he is rescued by a drag queen and street performer named Angel Dumott Schunard. They quickly form a deep bond and become inseparable, ultimately falling in love.
Another friend, Maureen Johnson, a bisexual performance artist, constantly tests her on-and-off girlfriend, Joanne Jefferson, who is a powerful lawyer. Their relationship faces numerous challenges and strain due to Maureen's unpredictability.
The characters also encounter Benny Coffin III, who was once part of the group but has now become their landlord. Benny, who plans to convert their dilapidated home into a high-rise development, represents the forces of gentrification that threaten their community.
As the film progresses, the friends struggle to make ends meet, dealing with eviction notices and the pressures of paying rent. They confront their financial situation by resisting the idea of "selling out" and staying true to their artistic integrity. During this process, they support one another through personal hardships, including Collins and Angel's battles with AIDS.
Throughout the film, the characters express their hopes, fears, and frustrations through powerful musical numbers that range from heartfelt ballads to energetic anthems. The story culminates in a series of emotional and poignant moments that test their relationships, resilience, and resolve.
Rent portrays the struggles faced by these young artists, beautifully blending themes of poverty, LGBTQ+ acceptance, activism, and the devastating impact of the AIDS crisis. It ultimately teaches the importance of love, friendship, and the pursuit of one's dreams in the face of adversity.
