How I remember Queen

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2018)

Back in the late 70's or there about, I heard Bohemian Rhapsody on radio. It must have been playing on a rock station and it affected me more than any "ROCK N ROLL" song had up until then. I clearly remember mentioning it to my older sisters friends all trendy Rock people who were very quick at correcting me to the fact that this song and group "QUEEN" was in no way shape or form ROCK MUSIC. For years after, having now heard more from this "NON ROCK BAND" , I was convinced that the snobbery of ROCK PEOPLE was and still is to this day, a people full of BS.
Queen is and always will be the most stunning intricate musically ambitious band ever and tomorrow I will be seeing this film. Hope it meets my expectations.
TOMORROW IS HERE.
In short the film is Stunning. My only criticism is a scene of an elaborate fancy dress party that bored me. Other than that I loved it. Malek became Freddie. I had no idea he was ever in love with a woman although platonic.We all had close girl friends back in the day . They were called "FRUIT FLIES". straight girls that liked the company of Gay Men. She was not portrayed as one here.
The opening shot of the LIVE AID Concert is one for the books. Mind Blowing. What can be done today in special effects is truly remarkable.
My personal theory as to the cool low critical reviews is there was not enough queer content for the "progressive "straight critics. They needed more gay sleeze and gay degenerate sex to feel liberal. As a gay man I call it guilt Patronising.
