They are STILL the Champions!

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2018)

I've been an hardcore fan of Queen since I was 15 years old and for more than 10 years I've been waiting for a movie about them. Finally, Bohemian Rhapsody came out and it just BLEW my mind. The cast did a magnificent job, especially the actors playing Freddie, Roger, John and Brian: they didn't just play their characters, they BECAME them. Watching the movie you can feel the love and the respect they all have for the people they're portraying, as well for their music and personal histories. I've already seen this movie twice but I know I will go back to cinema again and again because Bohemian Rhapsody is an incredible and touching tribute to the world's greatest rock band and frontman and it is just like a Queen song: it's a hit. I do hope with all my heart it will get the recognition and the awards it deserves (mr. Rami Malek, I'm talking about you).
The final sequence at Live Aid made me feel like I was truly there, in the middle of that huge crowd, singing along with everyone. It just made me cry so much because one of my biggest regrets is that I've never seen the original band perform live (I was born after Freddie's death) and with this wonderful, incredible movie I finally had a hint of what it might have felt seeing Freddie sing and control the crowd the way he did. Bohemian Rhapsody just proves that Queen music is more alive than ever and that, after all these years, they are still the champions. Loved every second.
