Well done biography type film of a conflicted music legend!

Rating: 8/10 (4 November 2018)

Was a fan of "Queen" and enjoyed listening to their music I liked the sounds and the beat along with the lyrics. And remembered one Freddie Mercury and his tragic death at 45 in 1991 of AIDS. And with this picture it sheds life on his rise to stardom and greatness with his other band members as "Queen" became one of the greatest in rock history.
Shown are Freddie's humble start and how he leaves his family to go after his dreams and for a short time he had a female love in Mary Austin, however Mercury struggled with inner conflict as he was a bisexual man who battled his own demons. Along the way the inner conflict and fame with ego and other pressures had Freddie at one period being solo, all before returning to "Queen".
The film is well done and acted as Rami Malek is in top form as Freddie and the music and concert scenes of tours bring back memories of the famous "Queen" songs as the movie shows right up till the Live Aid concert in 1985, and it shows Mercury dealing with AIDS before his 1991 death. Overall some might have said his nature was dark and complex still he and the "Queen" band are lifelong champions!
