I saw it the other day, best film I’ve seen in ages :clap1:

Is it about queen or Freddie mercury?

I loved this film

Bohemian Rhapsody is now available to download (Digitally).
Go watch it, it's amazing. :cheer2:

It really is Nancy ,I was never a major Queen fan, but I love this movie and that Live Aid performance was second to none.:wavey:

Hi Kaz, Lovely to chat to you again
Yes, like yourself I wasn't a massive fan of them, but their 70's / early 80's music was wonderful. A shame the movie stopped at the Live Aid performance and didn't show anything afterwards. I would liked to have seen more, but oh well. Great movie all the same. Thanks for recommanding it. :hee:

Oh wow. Rami Malek also won Best Actor at the SAG awards...



:worship:

The first guy? I thought it was Rami the whole way through?

anyway I really enjoyed the film and I love Queen but It kind of made me like Freddie less, he was a bit of an arsehole, putting all the blame on that one guy is a bit weak I think. I did love his relationship with Mary though :love:

ETA Sorry Kaz I misread your post, at first you thought, not the first guy :laugh:

Yes it was Rami Nimah but I didn't know his name then,lol ,I just thought in parts he looked like Jagger,yes his relationship with Mary was lovely and didn't he leave a lot of his will to her ? I did enjoy the film,it's a shame it has now been marred with this producer whoever being called out on some shady stuff, I read it had been pulled from some award.

Yeah he left her 3 quarters of his estate and the house aswell. I did enjoy it yeah, there was alot of stuff I didn't know eventhough I've always been a fan of their music. My favourite character from the film was Miami Beach :laugh:

Seems like they took a lot of liberties with the truth actually :laugh:

Just got back from watching this. I thought it was phenomenal and I’m so glad I went.
Seeing the Live Aid performance on anything but a cinema screen wouldn’t have done it justice.

Well done to Rami for winning best actor. He was phenomenal in B.R.

The film was very entertaining and Rami Malek did an incredible job. However, there were some significant gaps in truth that you will find if you read up on it. I also found the portrayal of his sexuality to be problematic. It seemed like everything tied to his lifestyle as a gay man was portrayed negatively. This article puts it best:

Yeah Ryan, I looked it up afterwards and loads of it was untrue which was disappointing. On the other hand I watched Green Book just recently and it was pretty much all accurate

Biopics are almost always played around with. Especially with timelines. It’s still supposed to be a movie after all.


Not if you ask DR. Shirley’s family...

One of my favourite recent(ish) films was The Social Network, and that was based on a book which was said to be only 50% inaccurate. When you listen to the screenwriter's commentary track he states clearly that the film is the movie-version of Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook.

Apparently there are talks for a sequel

Wh... :think:.

My thoughts exactly TS

Seems like they're milking the films success. Watch the sequel flop

A equal will be good with that actor playing freddie through until his ending
