What was this about? Live AID or Queen?

Rating: 3/10 (8 March 2019)

Really disappointed in this film. I expected many moments and did enjoy hearing old songs. Especially the song alongs at concerts. But the last 20 minutes was then at Live AID- did that define the group? Much of this was slow paced, predictable and repetitive. There were many plot lines left ... did he go after the trucker in the bathroom? Why did his wife stay with him? How did his HIV status impact his band relationships? During this time (1985) I volunteered for AIDS Walk LA and NYC and people would hear AIDS and fear contamination and immediately freak out. So the scene when he tells his band mates about his HIV status (they hugged) was totally inconsistent with the reality I saw first hand. Rami Malej looked the part but was not worthy of the Oscar win - his character was not so complicated. Sadly I wasted time viewing this - thankfully someone else purchased it and loaded it to us.
