Excellent Biopic About The Life Of Freddie Mercury & His Bandmates!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (4 November 2018)

Story begins with him as a teenager,working as baggage handler at Heathrow Airport. We next move to his home life, where his strict Zoroastrian father criticizes his teenage, rebellious behaviour as not keeping in line with "Good thoughts, good words, and good deeds (Zoroastrian code of conduct)," when he chooses to go off to the local bar. At the bar, he watches a really talented group of musicians playing music, & decides to meet them all later, to share his own ideas. However, when he does this, it turns out that the band's singer had just up & quit on them. So, he does an impromptu audition for them, & immediately, becomes their star singer. Not long after, he encourages the new group to forego singing in bars, & instead make an album. When they protest, that this would be an expensive thing to do, he gets them to sell some of their stuff, & then go for it.
They go to the USA, & meet up with some lawyers, to broker their record deal. One of them happens to be named 'Jim Beach,' so Mercury renames him "Miami Beach.'
Actually, I overlook one important detail here: Mercury's original name was "Farokh Bulsara, however, he legally changes his name to 'Freddie Mercury,' thus further angering his strict traditional father!!!
The movie also details Mercury's great loves, including with a young woman named Mary Austin, whom he had been engaged to.
Although it does touch on him contracting AIDS, it ends (& in fact, begins) on a high note with him & the band performing at 'Live Aid.' He makes his peace with his father, when he explains that by doing this charity concert, he is fulfilling the "Good thoughts, good words, & good deeds," of the Zoroastrian faith.
