A Triumphant Musical Experience

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2019)

'Bohemian Rhapsody' gives birth to the 70's rock band Queen, with it's focus on the life of lead singer extraordinaire Freddie Mercury. It's packed with emotion, heart, and rockin' music! I'm usually not a big fan of drama films, but this one was so captivating that I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Freddie's life-story is extremely intriguing. It was fascinating to see the band perform some of their greatest hits. I had no idea how many great songs were by Queen! I absolutely loved the parts of the film where we get to see the band in concert, especially when they perform at Live-Aid. It is such a touching moment, and if you've seen the film, you know why. I've never been to a concert, but after seeing this movie, I felt like I was sitting in the front row! As for the acting, Rami Malek portrays Freddie Mercury PERFECTLY. He exudes the EXACT same energy as the singer, and he looked identical to him. When I got home, I watched Queen's actual performance at Live-Aid, and Rami even did the same MOVES as Freddie. I can barely tell the difference between the two. Everyone else was fantastic too, but I honestly think Rami Malek deserves an Oscar for his performance in the film. In conclusion, 'Bohemian Rhapsody' will make you laugh, cry, cheer, and sing along. I wasn't a huge fan of Queen before, but after seeing this movie, they're my favorite band. I honestly think it's one of the best films of the year, and DEFINITELY one of my favorites. It better get nominated for a few awards, because it deserves every single one of them. 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is a triumphant musical experience that will ROCK YOU!
