A Tremendous Tribute to Freddie Mercury

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2019)

The rise and fall of Freddie Mercury (Rami Malek) a Super Rock Star with his band: Queen.
I have no knowledge of Freddie Mercury prior to watching the movie: Bohemian Rhapsody, but after watching the movie I am impressed with Freddie Mercury and Queen. I liked the music probably since a lot of what I heard had echoes of 1950 and 1960s music.
I have read many times that Rami Malek portrayed Freddie Mercury as close as possible so I will agree that his performance is a solid and honest one and was deserving of his Best Actor Oscar Award.
I see Queen's music as the next step in where Rock and Roll did go after the 1950s and 60s. The hard rock music that came in with other Rock Stars was too hard on my ears and those howling electric guitars didn't help me much. (You are just more than a little bit Country)
I did learn where the Lyric "We will , we will rock you" came from. Never knew where it came from before. Never really thought about it. Now it will never leave me.
The movie didn't go into Mercury's gay relationships in any detail. In other words nothing salacious or erotic in here. His girl friend Mary Austin (Lucy Boynton) knew he was gay and he admitted to her that he believed he was bi-sexual. This occurred long after he had asked her to marry him.
But the music is what impressed me the most even though the lyrics were sometimes hard to understand. Lots of catchy stuff in here.
Notables: Gwilym Lee as Brian May ,Queen Lead Guitarist; Ben Hardy as Roger Taylor Queen drummer; Joseph Mazzelo as John Deacon as Queen Bassist; Ace Bhatti as Mercury's father; Aaron McCusker as Jim Hutton, Mercury's significant other; Mike Myers as Mr. Foster a record label executive;
Dermot Murphy as Bob Geldof, one of the promoters of the 1985 Live Aid show.
Even though Freddie Mercury was notified of his AIDS diagnosis he wanted to participate with Queen in the Live Aid show. These scenes at Live Aid with Rami Malek were probably as good as the real Freddie Mercury's performance. It was very uplifting.
When the credits roll you will see the real Freddie Mercury in some performances.
I read somewhere that Freddie Mercury left all of his estate to Mary Austin, who was indeed the love of his live. He died in 1991 at age 45.
All in all a great tribute to Freddie Mercury and very entertaining for all of us. (10/10)
