Finally, I’ve seenBohemian Rhapsodyand as a longtime fan of Queen I’m happy to report the film does a great job telling their story and features an amazing performance byRami MalekasFreddie Mercury.I was absolutely mesmerized by what I saw on screen. For fans of Malek’s work onMr. Robot, this is such a completely different performance that it’s hard to believe it’s the same person. Trust me, his performance will be something everyone is talking about.
Scripted byAnthony McCarten(Darkest Hour) and produced byGraham King,Bohemian Rhapsodyfollows the band Queen from their early days playing pubs to becoming one of the biggest rock bands on the planet. The film also starsGwilym Lee,Joseph Mazzello,Lucy Boynton,Aidan Gillen,Tom Hollander,Ben Hardy,Allen Leech, andAaron McCusker.
Here is the official synopsis forBohemian Rhapsody:
Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury. Freddie defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound. They reach unparalleled success, but in an unexpected turn Freddie, surrounded by darker influences, shuns Queen in pursuit of his solo career. Having suffered greatly without the collaboration of Queen, Freddie manages to reunite with his bandmates just in time for Live Aid. While bravely facing a recent AIDS diagnosis, Freddie leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. Queen cements a legacy that continues to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.
