Chris Columbo did a great job with this movie. But his decision to delete this scene (which he explains by saying it made it "too sad") was completely wrong. This scene is the apex of emotion in the movie, and to delete it waters down the storyline. Plus, the song "Goodbye Love" is arguably the most emotionally powerful song in the whole production. I wish Sony Pictures would release an alternate cut of the movie with this scene left in. If only to pay tribute to RENT's creator, Jonathan Larsen, who, I'm sure, would not want this scene deleted from his work. It would be a nice tribute in 2025 to re-release it on the 20th anniversary of the movie...but this time, with the scene put back in.
Completely agree. Without this scene Mark’s character is (IMO) just annoying and fake. I didn’t see this scene until a couple of years after seeing the movie and it gives Mark way more depth and makes the way he is far more relatable. Powerful powerful dialogue here.
"But who, Mark, are YOU?" is a pivotal line in the whole musical. Roger is pointing at Mark, who's the story's narrator and the one the audience likely identifies with most. Thus, Jonathan Larsson is also pointing at us, the audience, enjoying the hard lives these bohemians live from a distance.
Yes, he is the one the audience likely identifies with most, and the line is pointing also to us. But not because of us just watching. That line actually refences the fact that Mark did almost nothing which didn't benefitted himself, until that point. Which actually references the fact that people are not willing to do things for people, at many times. At that point, Jonathan Larson actually had a very low amount of help and it's mentioning it. Mark, the character which represents the one half of Larson, is a person which actually doesn't understands the impacts people can have on other people. On other hand, the character which represents the other half of him, Roger, is aware of it. But also knows that it's very hard to help to Mimi or any other from the group. In fact, Roger was so aware that he tried not to have an impact on anyone until the end of Rent. Tick, Tick, Boom!... haves a few scenes about this too.
I agree. I don’t like dramatic films very much, but I do agree that that kind of intensity at the end with Rosario Dawson should have been experienced on the big screen.
I really feel she sang the sh*t out of every song. It's not just hitting the notes. It's the emotion behind it. I've heard it sung better, but NEVER performed better
It blows me away that Adam wasn't an actor before Rent. His acting in this is absolutely beautiful. I always find my eyes are drawn to him.....even in the moments he doesn't speak and is listening and reacting. Such an underrated talented performer who is an absolute joy to watch.
@Pandapoop Yes! It's funny because when I first watched Rent I thought the actor who played Roger had a familiar voice. I didn't realize that he was in School of Rock.
ALL of this - This is honestly my favorite song from the whole damned show, and it didn’t make the film. I think that’s why it always feels like there’s a hole in it, for me
This should never have been cut. It touches on so many aspects of the characters and their relationships. It's also one of my favorite songs. Please redo and put it back in!!
I love how despite all the hate he gets and all the terrible stuff he does, Benny still comes to the funeral for Collins. I really never saw Benny as a bad person. He was just manipulated.
@@mannyoftheeast3318He pretty muched kicked them out, cheats on his wife cause he slept with Rogers ex and then tries to get Mimi to stop talking to roger, but it was Mimi who did it to convince benny to let them stay. But he did pay for angels funeral and in here offers to pay for rehab.
@@mannyoftheeast3318 It's complicated. They used to be friends, but he "sold out". He married into money and focused his creative energies into lucrative endeavors. Also he had an arrangement for his friends to live in a building free of rent, but then reneged on this agreement so he could turn the building into a virtual reality studio. None of that screams particularly evil or villainous. If we examine the movie closely we realize that the values of its cast are a bit askew, and it's not always clear what stand the authors are taking. Like, _No Day But Today_ seems to frame Roger as being scared to take a chance, live in the moment and embrace love, when in reality Mimi was trying to get him to get high together. Roger's arc is basically that he had to watch his girlfriend Glory die from AIDS (which they both probably got from sharing needles) and he's still grieving. It's not all that weird that he'd be reticent to date another heroin addict and watch her die of AIDS too. And yet Mark tries to push him back into Mimi's arms? But that's nothing with how Angel basically killed a dog for money and EVERYONE in the cast is fine with it... I still love the movie to bits though.
they should make a director's cut where it's the movie with halloween and goodbye love in it i think i can speak for majority of Rent fans when i say we NEED that
This scene is actually in the stage version as well. It was nice to see it in the movie version though. Anthony Rapp (Mark) actually got a little irked that his song "Halloween" also got cut from the movie
Okay in Rent the line "but who mark are you?" is arguably the most powerful, pivotal moment in the whole show. Think about it. Rent is told from Mark's perspective and it's the first time he's ever been pointed at to tell the audience about himself. And Rodger is fed up with mark hiding from facing reality. Goodbye, Love is, in my opinion, the most heartbreaking moment. I mean… just think about it. Angel just died & Rodger is running off to Santa Fe. Mimi knows Rodger still loves her but he can't stand to see another person who he loves die & that’s why he’s leaving. Maureen and Joanne get back together. Benny payed for the funeral despite all the BS the group went through. I just think that anyone who has only seen the movie is missing out on the second half of that song. Which is one of the most important moments in the entire show. And then following it up with What You Own is literally pure genius. Johnathan Larson knew how to write. It’s so unfortunate he never got to see this show in its full form. This is absolutely perfection.
Not to mention it gives a real window into Mark’s character depth. Particularly with the line, “Why am I the witness? And when I capture it on film, will it mean that it’s the end and I’m alone?” It really shows his disconnect comes from fear of not only being alone and disconnected despite desperately wanting connection, but also the deep fear and even survivors guild of outliving his only real friends.
While Chris Columbus did a great job with RENT, to THIS day I am so bummed that this scene got deleted from the final cut. The fight between Mark and Roger would've made more of an impact on Roger leaving as well as Mimi's health and the overall state of the group. The performances and this song NEEDED to be in the film. Chris Columbus stated that he deleted this scene because it was too emotional after Angel's funeral. That was a weak decision. RENT fans want to feel the toll of the emotion and pain - we can handle it. If you didn't already know, 16 years later, I still feel very strongly about the director's decision. I wish SONY would release RENT on 4K bluray with the option for this scene to be integrated into the film somehow.
Read my reply to BrownwickBowling and buy the DVD!!! You will get your wish! I still cry when I watch the movie! I was reading something that was said that 16 years later Rent is a movie that lost its relevance and doesn't transcend to modern times. I say B.S. because I lost my best friend to AIDS in 1988. I can relate to so much of the film! I am so glad I got the DVD and am able to see the deleted scenes in the movie! :)
@@lbs424 RENT is one of my favourite movies so I initially bought the DVD (and still have it) when it first came out and now have the bluray too! I would like to see it released in 4K bluray with the option of integrating “Goodbye Love” and even “Halloween” into the movie 😁
@@saraprosasNo unfortunately it doesn’t. The DVD I have includes the deleted scene on a separate disc but not an option to watch it in the movie. I would love to have a 4K disc with this scene put back in the movie
In Anthony’s autobiography he says the lyrics used to be switched with Mark and Roger calling themselves out for their own shit. “Mark lives for his work, mark hides in his work” “Rogers running out the door” hits different when they are singing about themselves.
It's weird in the final musical that they are singing to each other in the third person. It makes more sense here where Mark says "Mimi still loves you," instead of "Mimi still loves Roger."
@@Blokewood3 In the musical, Mark is still in his storytelling mode by using third person. For the movie, that would just be too oblique and weird, so using second person made the most sense. I'm still glad there is a version of RENT that has this.
i wish they kept this in the movie, they probably cut it to make the movie shorter but this scene would make the whole rehab thing near the end make sense to those who havent seen the tracklist
The director said they mainly cut it because having Mark and Roger sing at each other felt unnatural when all they'd previously done in the film is have spoken conversations. But I agree; I was so confused when I saw the movie and Mimi was suddenly in rehab without knowing how and why. Also, I think without the scene between Mark and Roger, the entirety of What You Own makes less sense.
@@akkrosu That doesn't make sense anyway, 'cause they sang the song "Rent" to each other. Christopher Columbus had no right to pick apart the musical like that.
@@AtlasBlizzard I mean, Rent wasn't really a deep conversation, though. But I get what you mean, I felt the same way when I went back and watched it again after finding out why they cut it. I will say I understand that certain decisions and changes had to me made to turn the musical into a film, and Chris Columbus nailed many aspects of it. And he does respect the source material, I guess this was more a lapse in judgment.
2022 and still furious this wasn’t released in the movie, adds so much depth and gives good build up to roger leaving and adds to the impact of Mimi’s overall situation while roger is gone. Reasons I prefer to just listen to the soundtrack instead of watch the movie these days
1st pitty - that they've passed this, possibly best scene in the movie. 2nd pitty - that there's missing the intermezzo part "Hey, for someone who has been always a let-down, who's heading out of town" between the Mark/Roger and Mimi parts..
The way she ran to see Roger's car breaks my heart. Really she have kept this scene in for Mimi, for Mark (especially when I read that Mark is inspired by Jonathan Larson), for bringing back part in Glory.
I really wish they had kept this in. In my opinion, no songs should ever be cut from the musicals. Would 6 minutes really have been such a big deal? Wonderfully done by all.
This film deserved some awards or at least nominations... I always thought the entire film was beautifully lit. The direction didn’t feel chaotic and/or boring like some stage to film adaptations could be.
@@samcasot7300 he used the tragedy of others peoples life for his movie, he chooses to life into poverty when both him and Maureen come from wealthy families.
"His death won't be in vain, his death WAS in VEIN" Because Angel died from AIDS. UGHHH. 😭 The lyrical genius of this play will never stop touching my soul.
I will forever be angry that they cut this from the movie. It has my absolute favorite part of the musical in it (Mark and Roger’s fight) and it’s just such an emotional and necessary part of the plot.
i really wish this scene along with Halloween weren't deleted because they are so pivotal for these characters. It adds so much more needed context so i'm sad they weren't in the film :(
I saw Rent 48 times in the theater and I guarantee Mark and Roger's argument and Mimi-s Goodbye Love and Benny offering to pay for rehab is NOT in the theatrical cut. It goes from Collins singing" I can't believe he's gone. I can't believe you're going. I can't believe this family must die. Angel taught us to believe in love. I can't believe you disagree. And the rest join in "I can't believe this is...goodbye." Then the scene immediately shifts to Roger driving and "What You Own".
@@second2nonebut1 Gotcha. I only own the 2-disc special edition DVD released back in 2007 and this scene is only in the deleted scenes special features. They mave have restored it in other versions but I only have the OG 2-disc release. Peacock is running it this moth and this scene isn't in it either. Thanks for the info. I may check out the Blu-Ray to see if it's been restored.
Maaann. That “hello diseas” hits EVEN HARDER. I had never actualle watched this but was curious if there WAZ a scen for it. SUCH A GRAT PART! I WISH THEY HAD KEPT THIS IN!! Actualle seeing it….
im glad this has been uploaded and it isn’t just lost, but im mad that they cut out another part of this song. when mark says “for someone who’s always been let down, who’s heading out of town” and just that whole part, it always feels empty to me at the end when Roger just leaves.
I listened to this part of the soundtrack immediately after watching the movie and thought “I don’t remember this song from the movie”. I finally worked out why upon watching these deleted scenes on the DVD.
To delete this scene, deleted one of the most poignant and important lines of the whole show- Roger:You pretend to create and Observe when you really detach from feeling alive Mark: Perhaps it’s because I’M THE ONE OF US TO SURVIVE! Mark’s line cuts like a knife. He realized most if not all of the people he loved the most are going to succumb to their disease, and he will have nothing but the images on his film to remember them by.
It def was. I have the original DVD and it’s part of the main movie. Was super confused because I just watched it on HBO Max and “Halloween” and “Goodbye Love” were cut
I honestly think that the reason why scene is cut because it’s an emotional overload or something is utter bullshit. RENT is supposed to be an emotional overload and to cut this scene (along with Halloween) is the very sole reason why some or many RENTheads didn’t like this movie (especially those who watched the original theatre version) in my opinion. Yes, I know there are RENTheads who liked/loved this movie, me included, but even some of us who do are disappointed that this scene was cut.
“Goodbye love….hello disease.” I have a physical disability but got a full time job and live independently. I have big plans this year to create and lead initiatives to help people with disabilities, but have had weird medical symptoms (related and unrelated to my disability) the last month or so that make me freaked out about how much I can do, or even losing my independence. I went to the ER and thankfully I’m not dying like Mimi is, but I’m only in my twenties and don’t know what quality of life to really expect…scared my disability or whatever other medical conditions will consume me.
This is such a beautiful song, looking back at the stage performance and how I think spike Lee should have done this. However, I’m glad we got something at least :)
I had the DVD and I could've sworn this scene was in the movie, albeit with some cuts, but the whole song was there...is it Mandela effect or am I tripping? 😅
It definitely was! I was just watching the movie on HBO Max and was super confused when it went straight from the funeral to the “What you own” song. I googled to see if it was cut and it said it was, but that it’s featured on the DVD under additional scenes, but I know it was during the main film
I also wish they had left the scene in the film BUT consider "living in America" would play right after this, which would be an extreme switch of emotional gears
I believe they should of put this in the movie it would of explained about y Mimi disappeared and stop taking her medicine and was on the street how heart broken she was and how much it effected not just her but Roger as well
I don't understand everyone saying that they didn't like how they cut this from the movie because I watched this with my brothers last year and this scene was definitely in it...

The fear of losing so many friends to AIDS & surviving??? That would be harder than people realize
It's so important for all the events after Angel's funeral. I hate that it was left on the cutting room floor.

I just watched the video that covers Jonathan’s life on UA-cam. He was also pointing a finger at himself. Mark is heavily based on Jonathan.
@@JustBob-sw4rf that's what I said on the Halloween deleted scene
Hey artist! You got a dollar? I thought not.
And himself. Mark is basically Jonathan.

Even in this deleted scene they cut out the dialogue you just mentioned! Chris Columbus is such an asshole.
They did the movie a disservice by cutting out this scene. The song is so powerful and poignant. Rosario Dawson sang the sh*t out of this song.
She knocked Mimi out of the park in the final cut too, but man this scene is a gut punch from her. So good.
This is my first time hearing it and I'm speechless. I can't believe such an incredible moment was cut.

"His death won't be in vain, his death WAS in VEIN" Because Angel died from AIDS. UGHHH. 😭 The lyrical genius of this play will never stop touching my soul.
'there's me there's Mimi'
Oh man. Is that really what the line was meant to imply? I had no idea this whole time. That sent shivers up my spine.
Mind blown
that’s definitely not what this line implies. just vain.
@@rebeccapuretz9044 Yeah, come to think of it “in vain” is how it was written. Which, in a way, it makes it even more painful.
I will forever be angry that they cut this from the movie. It has my absolute favorite part of the musical in it (Mark and Roger’s fight) and it’s just such an emotional and necessary part of the plot.
*cries in HD*
i really wish this scene along with Halloween weren't deleted because they are so pivotal for these characters. It adds so much more needed context so i'm sad they weren't in the film :(
This scene is so important to the themes & the plot, like what why?
I always loved the scene at the beginning of this video. It feels so real. Like not part of movie just good friends hanging out after a funeral.
One of the most important stories of my life
I don't remember the priest and the dog, but I definitely remember this song being in the movie I watch. The whole scene
Right. I am so confused right now 🤯
I saw Rent 48 times in the theater and I guarantee Mark and Roger's argument and Mimi-s Goodbye Love and Benny offering to pay for rehab is NOT in the theatrical cut. It goes from Collins singing" I can't believe he's gone. I can't believe you're going. I can't believe this family must die. Angel taught us to believe in love. I can't believe you disagree. And the rest join in "I can't believe this is...goodbye." Then the scene immediately shifts to Roger driving and "What You Own".
@@JohnMC61 I'm referring to dvd version. Not theatrical version.
@@second2nonebut1 Gotcha. I only own the 2-disc special edition DVD released back in 2007 and this scene is only in the deleted scenes special features. They mave have restored it in other versions but I only have the OG 2-disc release. Peacock is running it this moth and this scene isn't in it either. Thanks for the info. I may check out the Blu-Ray to see if it's been restored.
one of my fav songs from the musical. ill never forgive whoever decided to cut this in the movie
I still from this day don’t understand why they had the audacity to delete this version of goodbye love from rent 2005
Maaann. That “hello diseas” hits EVEN HARDER. I had never actualle watched this but was curious if there WAZ a scen for it. SUCH A GRAT PART! I WISH THEY HAD KEPT THIS IN!! Actualle seeing it….
without this scene, the resto of the story has no meaning
I really wish they hadn't cut this scene!
im glad this has been uploaded and it isn’t just lost, but im mad that they cut out another part of this song. when mark says “for someone who’s always been let down, who’s heading out of town” and just that whole part, it always feels empty to me at the end when Roger just leaves.
I think that line is still in the movie soundtrack!
Wow! Moving and meaningful scene. The song "Goodbye Love" is powerful and Rosario Dawson's voice is so beautiful.
This movie put me in therapy
😂😭
I will never understand this scene being cut from the movie..
I listened to this part of the soundtrack immediately after watching the movie and thought “I don’t remember this song from the movie”. I finally worked out why upon watching these deleted scenes on the DVD.
This is one of my favorite part in the musical and this not being in the movie is Damn shame. I I hope they would put these deleted scenes
Thank you for posting!! This used to be included in the movie! It’s so good.
To delete this scene, deleted one of the most poignant and important lines of the whole show-
Roger:You pretend to create and
Observe when you really detach from feeling alive
Mark: Perhaps it’s because I’M THE ONE OF US TO SURVIVE!
Mark’s line cuts like a knife. He realized most if not all of the people he loved the most are going to succumb to their disease, and he will have nothing but the images on his film to remember them by.
I loved every moment of the film and musical love
am i the only one who vividly remembers this being in the movie at some point?
It def was. I have the original DVD and it’s part of the main movie. Was super confused because I just watched it on HBO Max and “Halloween” and “Goodbye Love” were cut
Without this scene the movie was gutted. It's the climactic scene, without it the movie loses almost everything.
Omg this fills out somethin that was missing. Makes it make a little more sense
One of my most favorite scenes/songs. The other one is Halloween.
Also a deleted scene
I honestly think that the reason why scene is cut because it’s an emotional overload or something is utter bullshit. RENT is supposed to be an emotional overload and to cut this scene (along with Halloween) is the very sole reason why some or many RENTheads didn’t like this movie (especially those who watched the original theatre version) in my opinion.
Yes, I know there are RENTheads who liked/loved this movie, me included, but even some of us who do are disappointed that this scene was cut.
“Goodbye love….hello disease.”
I have a physical disability but got a full time job and live independently. I have big plans this year to create and lead initiatives to help people with disabilities, but have had weird medical symptoms (related and unrelated to my disability) the last month or so that make me freaked out about how much I can do, or even losing my independence. I went to the ER and thankfully I’m not dying like Mimi is, but I’m only in my twenties and don’t know what quality of life to really expect…scared my disability or whatever other medical conditions will consume me.
I just watched rent and this scene is missing:( I remember watching the movie when I was younger and I always remember this song...
I love when they talk about the dog. Glad they put that in there to lighten the mood a little bit.
Scene never should have been deleted. Brings a little redemption to Benny
I hated that this was cut from the movie..its too important for the characters
3:58 the way mimi looks at roger here kills me :/
@Blair Bart agreed
HEY! For someone who’s always been let down, who’s headed outta town?
For someone who longs for a community of his own, who’s with his camera, alone?
The brilliance in this movie
Utterly reprehensible that this was cut
was always wondering about this while listening to the soundtrack!
미쳤다ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ감사함돠 쏘니짱
This is such a beautiful song, looking back at the stage performance and how I think spike Lee should have done this. However, I’m glad we got something at least :)
Why delete this scene? So emotional...should have made the movie
Dude, i really feel that
I had the DVD and I could've sworn this scene was in the movie, albeit with some cuts, but the whole song was there...is it Mandela effect or am I tripping? 😅
I swear I feel the same. Maybe we're both high or something...
DUDE SAME
I think it may be because the song is on the soundtrack anyway?
The deleted scene was a feature on the DVD.
The showed a vocal argument between mark and Roger in the movie but no singing
I agree, most of us have listened to the music so long that we just expect it but I feel the same as you.
You don't want to watch me die, I just came to say goodbye love...oh my!!❤❤❤❤❤
j'adore cette scène qui parle tellement du monde et de l'obligation de travailler, je comprends pourquoi elle a été coupée.
The first time i saw this scene i was like, oh, the movie made sense now.
HOW COULD YOU DELETE THIS SCENE
I still have my original DVD when this was released and I assure you this scene is on it. Including Halloween. I'm confused...
It definitely was! I was just watching the movie on HBO Max and was super confused when it went straight from the funeral to the “What you own” song. I googled to see if it was cut and it said it was, but that it’s featured on the DVD under additional scenes, but I know it was during the main film
Lol the same
@@amandarodriguez5786 the DVD is write-only. If it was there, then it still is. (It isn't. It's a featurette, like everybody says.)
One of the best scenes in the movie. Cant believe it didnt make it in
This song is the emotional climax of the whole show, I'll never understand why they cut it.
I also wish they had left the scene in the film BUT consider "living in America" would play right after this, which would be an extreme switch of emotional gears
Never delete scenes. Never ever.
Deleted scenes only ever add context and background.
Jonathon is so happy
They literally got rid of Benny’s “redeeming” moments
the girls are fightingggg 2:22
Mannn, that "No MORE!!" hits SO hard!!
I believe they should of put this in the movie it would of explained about y Mimi disappeared and stop taking her medicine and was on the street how heart broken she was and how much it effected not just her but Roger as well
This song should never have been cut.
Biggest mistake taking this out!
I don't understand everyone saying that they didn't like how they cut this from the movie because I watched this with my brothers last year and this scene was definitely in it...
where did you watch it?
I have the DVD from when it was first released. It was only included in the Deleted Scenes section.
this is the BEST song in rent! how could they cut it????
Sorry i got a chance, goodbye lover.
I cried hearing this song cause it’s so true ❤
