A classic for the ages

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2018)

Whether you hate Queen or like them, this movie is a masterpiece that will live forever. Sure, there are a few inaccuracies and mistakes from real life, but the movie makes up for it with killer performances by Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury, a man born in Zanzibar but raised in London when he was around 10 by Parsi parents. The movie begins and ends with Queen's historic 1985 Live Aid concert, and in the middle showcases Queen's beginnings as a rock band called Smile, to the creation of their first album, to all the mishaps, to their first big hit, to Freddie wanting to break free from his band, and ending with Freddie's revelation to his bandmates of his untimely disease from which he sadly passes away from later, AIDS. If you haven't seen this movie yet, go see it while its in theaters, and order it online or on disc so you can share the magic with friends and family!!!
