Now we get to Bohemian Rhapsody. I fucking love this flick. This movie made me cry so hard. I love it. But even my own experience besides this movie is pretty awesome. Not perfect but pretty darn good.
Let's start with the big guns: Rami Malek. He makes this movie through his performance as Freddie Mercury. He kills every scene he is in. Witch is basicly every one. It should be mentioned that I can review the performance (based on her accuracy) just to a certain degree. While his on stage Freddie is 100% accurate and you feel like seeing the real Freddie perform, I can say about the not on stage performance that it is still so good. It is really astonishing and it felt like a real person. Also I think personally that Malek looks like Freddie in this movie (just a little skinnier). Every other actor in the movie where great as well. Some of them evan looked more accurate as Malek. But no one can reach Malek in this movie. He portrays Freddie just great and I love it. Also the LGBT Community aspect of his performance is well done. As well as the howl acknowledgement of the LGBT Community in the movie. When Freddie slowly learned and accepted that he was Bisexual you could feel how painful it was for him to tell it Merry. And the general confusion and excitement he had while slowly discovering the Community for himself. Also when he meets Jim Hutton there interactions feel natural and not forced at all. A lot of people also say that Freddie's life isn't portrayed good enough. For me this is not the case. The general public don't really know that much about Freddie's private life except that he was a partyanimal. And this is clearly shown in this movie. He is partying hard and really active with drugs and booze. All in all I think this is the Freddie most people see when they here the name. But when they here the name Freddie Mercury or Queen the first thing people think about is the music. And man is it used excellent here. While some people see showing the brief creation of some songs as not enough, I think it is perfect. You see a lot of them and just great. Also the concert sequences are phenomenal (especially the finally). And this is also while you have to watch it in I-Max. This movie is to be experienced with the best sound system there is in a cine near you. Then watching the movie will be an experience for itself. Also the great visuals are helping the experience. While I'm probably alone with this opinion I think the visuals helping this movie quite a bit and fit really well. While not on a Zac Snyder level they are good.
While the movie is mostly great I can't ignore there are some downers.
While I think Freddie and the band are good represented as characters there story, while beautiful in the movie, isn't really true. A lot of things are changed or made up for dramatic purposes. And yes the story feels very cinematic but I can understand while people are bothered by it. But for myself i think it's okay. I get why they wanted to end the movie where they did and for that matter they head to change things up. So they could acknowledge certain things that are important for the characters. But when we talk about characters there is a clarification we have to make. This movie was called a Queen Biopic by a lot of people it isn't. It's a Freddie Mercury one. Don't get me wrong the other members are very important for the story but the most focus lies on Freddie. So yeah don't go in the movie expecting big focus on Brian May or one of the other Queen members. They are needed but supporting cast.
So u see the negative things aren't really as bad for me. I really love this movie. It's really beautiful and the Freddie performance is just great. All the music by Queen used in this movie fits so well and can just say go watch it!
