Only movie to almost make me cry of happiness

Rating: 9/10 (29 December 2018)

Bohemian Rhapsody is now my favorite movie as of right now. I have just returned from the movie theater about 10 minutes ago as of writing this. First of all, I wish I discovered Queen's talent sooner because I thought they were a small band, and I only knew them as the people who wrote "We Will Rock You." But they are so much more than that. Second, the pacing in this movie is perfect. It starts with Freddie and the band getting ready for Live Aid, a concert that in my opinion is the most important event of music history. But then it cuts to Freddie but he's different and is in a small town. When Queen writes the hit "Killer Queen", their fame explodes. Then a sequence shows the concerts they played at. I love that pacing. Third, Rami Malek did a staggeringly amazing job playing Freddie Mercury. The movement, the dancing, everything is a great performance. I want him to win Oscars and Golden Globes and so many other music awards. He nails Freddie and from the videos I've seen of the real Freddie Mercury, I can't tell the difference between the too. Not just looks but character and so much more is what makes them alike. Fourth, this movie does an excellent job at telling the story of Queen not just Freddie Mercury. It starts with them as a local band called smile. The lead singer of it quits and Freddie Mercury joins alon with John Deacon on bass. Then they experiment in a studio with songs and create the hit "Killer Queen". Then from there is just success until of course, Freddie Mercury's passing. Fifth, the Live Aid scene is amazing. Camera shots, performances by literally everyone in that scene, the stadium they perform in, the accuracy to the actual concert, and sound quality. It is the most beautiful movie scene I have ever seen. I sang along with the movie and almost cried.

The ending was the Live Aid scene and a little tribute to Freddie Mercury. That's why the rotten tomatoes are a down on this movie souly because of the ending. But I don't mind, because this movie celebrated the LIFE of Freddie Mercury and not his death. His death isn't important to this movie and isn't the main focus. The only thing I didn't like about this movie is that they didn't show Queen perform the song "Under Pressure." But that's a nit picky thing so I'm sure no one else will mind. I rate this movie a 9/10
