solitude

Rating: 9/10 (4 November 2018)

Artists tend to live a bit outside of average society patterns but Freddie had a lot more going on.
He also had to search, understand, analyse, accept himself as he is. I'm totally suprised to see how lonely he was, maybe because of this search.
Fame and fortune is not bed of roses. (lyrics from We Are The Champions) This sums up his feelings I guess.
Apart from Freddie's battles within himself, movie tells story of band's general progress and making of some hit songs.
About cast, character choices are just fine but if it comes to lead role, all I can say is that Rami Malek deserves one real Academy Award.
Contrary to general knowledge, to play well-known persona is much more harder than fiction persona.
Because actor/actress can add/remove something to a fiction character but playing Freddie Mercury?
It must have been too much work for Malek and yes, he just did it. Even the Live Aid concert scene is just enough for award by itself.
Thank you all for giving us a chance to watch him, feel his vibe again through our veins.
I hope current generation Z could also appreciate his unique gift with this movie.
