I watched this last night from Redbox and I will be buying the Blu Ray. I watched it with 2 mid-30 year olds (I am 60). We were all pumped and singing along to every song. It says something about a band's music that can transcend a gulf of so many different ages and preferences. I came away wishing I would have paid more attention to Queen when I was in high school. I loved Bohemian Rhapsody. I had the 45 single and played it endlessly. I've always loved rock music that incorporated orchestral music. I was a huge fan of The Alan Parsons Project. I still have all their Albums. I only had 2 Queen albums, A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races. I didn't listen to them as much as TAPP, because you grow up, get married, have kids, and just leave that part of your life behind and move on. I was sobbing by the end of the movie. It really brought back fond memories of my teen years. If the movie is in any way accurate, I would have loved to know Freddie Mercury personally (who wouldn't?) He seemed like an incredibly nice man. I don't know of too many men who loved cats like he did. We have 7 cats and really loved that aspect of his life. I'm rambling - rent it today. It was really wonderful.
