The song is beautiful. All the melodies from the shows, the idea of Roger and Mimi ending up togerther, it's all great.
But plot wise, it isn't for Rent. While musically I love this song, I don't like it as an ending. The entire theme of the show is "No day but today" as in no second chances, yet Mimi comes back? They should have let her stay dead to really get the message across. However if I somehow got to change it, I'd still keep this it. It's just too beautiful. And we don't really know if Mimi is really going to stay alive. She does have AIDS, so there's only so much life in her. And seeing it in the show, with Angel running back to the rest of the cast, is just amazing.
Well, Liztomaz, in La bohème, the Puccini opera upon which Rent was loosely based, Mimì does die—and the character than Angel is based on, Schaunard, lives.

Amazing song, though. Larson went far too soon.
