i thought maureen and joanne did get back together in the end...
anyway, the point of it? to appreciate what you have and appreciate the people around you. it was about love and community. the AIDS issue only reinforces that, because in 1989, HIV was a death sentence. people didn't live for years on antiretrovirals. AZT had just come on the market. and it wasn't about their journey to avoid paying rent. that was just a small part of it. the message was much bigger than that.
i'll grant you that the scene at the end was a little unbelievable, but the rest of the movie was so good, i overlooked that flaw.
