Describe how you solved the problem of having lists of movies that look mostly the same but have different content	If the movie has the same external_id as something already in the library the user cannot post it to the rental library.

Describe how you handled rentals with React	Very convolutedly. The selection come from the Rental Library and the Customer List individual component for customer and movie. onClick of the button in the small components, the customer or movie component sends the customer or movie object to the parent which then sends it to be stored in the App component. When the checkout button is clicked the selected movies are submit as a post request to rentals to make a new Rental.

Did you use any container components? What for?	No, what might have been doesn't just have stateless functional components.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	Not really, (though people might not like this, having more to do in the backend, it felt very much like working mostly a frontend rather than fullstack)
