Bohemian Rhapsody is a great movie, to watch whether your a fan of Queen or not...I am though.
They did a great job telling the story of Queen and Freddie Mercury.
The movie starts out showing Queen getting ready to play at Live Aid, but then quickly takes you to the beginning of Freddie's and Queens 1st meeting.
Freddie goes out one night and catches Queen playing a gig.
When the gig is over, Freddie goes looking for the band cause he liked their music.
But he also wanted to give them some song lyrics he wrote.
When he finds them... He find out that their lead singer has just quit and they no longer have a singer....
So Freddie grabbed hold of their attention by singing a few bars right on the spot!
This led to Freddie replacing their lead singer.
The very 1st gig they did starts of rough, Freddie, being Freddie needs to be able to move around see....
Him and the mic stand are not getting along, Freddie rips the mic stand in half then....
If that was not enough, the song they are playing Freddie is singing the wrong lyrics....
He re-wrote the song live in front of everyone and only the band caught it.
It was a successful 1st gig!!
In the movie, about a year later, the band is starting to get frustraited with the small gigs....
Freddie tells them maybe they need to record their 1st album.
He suggest that they sell the bands van to finance the studio time.
This conversation takes place on the side of the road, according to this movie.
They sold the van and recorded their 1st album.
In the movie, you learn some of the creative things they did to create the awesome sound of their 1st studio album.
They used coins on top of a drum, the used amps swing freely side to side in the air while recording the guitars and so on...
It is also this point in time that the name "Queen" becomes the bands name....I never did catch the name they had before...so if ya know leave it in the comments...please
This section of the movie is where the intro to Behomian Rhapsody(the name sake song for this movie), is revealed to be written by Freddie.
At the beginning of this movie you only got a small glimpse into the relationship between Freddie and his father.
20 minutes into the movie...You are shown a scene set at a family dinner at Freddie's parents home.
It is at this family dinner that you are shown that their is a friction between a father and a son.
This is also where, according to the movie, Queen is signed to their 1st contract deal with a big record label.
It is revealed in this movie that the 1st video shoot was all done by the band lip syncing to their recorded sound track.
Although...the band was not happy with it, this is where they all shine...but it becomes crystal clear Freddie is very liked by the camera.
I have not mentioned Freddies's intimate relationship with Mary, until now.
Up to this point in the movie, only an idiot would not see that Mary means the world to Freddie....
She is completely in his corner, He without a doubt loves her.
He ask her to marry him, she accepts
This is only sweetend by the band contacting Freddie and Mary with the news that Queen Just got their 1st major American tour confirmed!!
In this movie you get to see just how creative Queen was in creating this legendary song.
You also learn that their record company did not want to release it because it was 6 minutes long!
Let's jump to the end of this movie....
Live Aid was the last live perfomance Queen did with Freddie Mercury.
It was a legendary performance. Freddie was an aids victim himself.This info was kept secret, only the band and his closest friens and family knew.
Earlier in the movie Freddie and Mary are having a talk, during this talk Freddie reveals that he is bi-sexual.
Mary admitted that she already suspected as much, but just did not want to admit it. This led to Mary and Freddie living separate.
as the movie progresses it becomes clear to Freddie that his lover Paul was not good for him and he kicks Paul to the curb.
This led to Freddie setting a metting with the rest of the band, which then led to this legendary Live Aid Perfomance.
