Yeah, that question was about old movies, BUT I think Jack probably has mixed feelings about RENT. I bet there are days when he finds himself humming bits of it, and others when he’s practically singing La Vie Boheme on tables. And then there’s days when he can’t even talk about it and might even say he hated RENT. It’s about the beauty of human life and connections with others, but also about the inherent butterfly tragedy of how human life is so brief and fragile.
Everything about Angel and Tom’s relationship screams Janto to me and it hurts. After Ianto died, Jack probably didn’t touch Rent with a ten-foot pole for years.
