Bohemian Rhapsody movie

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

Don't forget.....they also were on Highlander and Iron Eagle. Two classic films.

Who wants to live forever, works on BH and Highlander so well.

Still don’t understand how Flash Gordon did not become both the most critically acclaimed Sci Fi movie of all time,
And the album not the greatest soundtrack of all time.

Edit- youngest teenage daughter actually iTunes’d some Queen after hearing the opening of me watching someHighlander the Series from the 90s. I never caught most of the episodes when they were first aired.

Well,
Actually just getting some hair tips watching.

Still get goose bumps every time I hear it . . .

How do you live with yourself?

LOL! I guess my “not really a fan” didn’t come out right. A “Fan” is short for the word “Fanatic”, and I’m just not there with very much music. I consider a true fan to be someone who has learned about the people behind the songs.

I guess I liked the movie so much because I loved the backstory...

I should have said I really had very basic knowledge of the group. I could tell you Freddie Mercury was the lead singer, he was gay, and he died from aids. Just like I know Joplin OD’d and most of Skynyrd died in a plane crash.

I’m not an audiophile. I basically listen to whatever is on but really don’t buy much of the stuff nor get too ‘into’ any bands. I have preferred genres but other than hard core gangsta rap, I can appreciate all kinds of good sounds coming out of a speaker.

Hard NOT to like Queen’s music. It is truly iconic. Played everywhere...rodeos, team sports events, school events. We are the Champions, We Will Rock You, Another One Bites the Dust...who doesn’t know most of the lyrics, at least the main chorus of them.

I’m the same with other icons, like Prince, Glen Campbell, Billy Joel, The Who, Bowie...like their music, but not a “Fan”

Regarding Glen Campbell...while I remember his variety show when I was a wee lad, I really didn’t know much about his. Eddie Van Halen, nearing the height of his career, asked Alice Cooper to ask Campbell (Coopers very close friend) if Campbell would give him some guitar lessons. Of course, VH was an awesome guitarist already, but Campbell helped him get better. I thought that was interesting.

Search for “Bohemian Rhapsody 2018” on YouTube and there’s a few videos that show side-by-side some of their real concert scenes next to those done in the movie, including the Live Aid segment. Watching those will really make you appreciate the outstanding casting and acting done, Rami was amazing. Best ‘rock biopic’ ever IMHO!

I want to go see this in the Theater. I never go to movies, but this one sounds good. Pappabear was recommending that I see it.

We bought it on Amazon...

Rami Malek is awesome. He made Mr Robot until they got Trumpitis.

He also made The Pacific as Snafu.

Like they actually look like Queen. Even if they just like lip synced, they should get the actors to do a world tour while the actual band plays so you could sorta replicate a Queen concert.

I will never have gotten to see Queen and my life is lesser for it.

That’s why you should see your favorite band live while you can

Hell.

The only reason there is not Zardoz expanded universe and world of novels, comics, movies, TV shows, and merchandise is because there was no Queen soundtrack.

John Williams and the LSO were actually ghost written by May and Mercury. Same as with Alexander Courage.

Overall, I loved the movie. Had some minor quibbles, but I don't know how else they could've conveyed as much of the band's story as they did in the run time without compromising in other ways. I think it could've been even more clear how important the rest of the band was (especially Brian May) to the success of Queen in other scenes besides the meeting before Live Aid. As it stood, they left it like, "Oh, that guy came up with the 'We Will Rock You' beat? Cool."

I'm glad they didn't have the actors try to do most of the vocals. I've always hated that.
