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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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:

Quote:
The movie reduces queer identity to a series of promiscuous sexual encounters, which it consistently frames as sordid, shameful, illicit, and corrupting. It also builds a whole annoying subplot around the “predatory gay villain” trope, which is a tired, obnoxious cliché that in Bohemian Rhapsody is even more problematic than usual because it’s used to imply that Mercury, a real-life gay man, was somehow corrupted into becoming queer by an opportunistic music industry parasite who doesn’t really care about Freddie at all.

Bohemian Rhapsody also refuses to depict gay men having meaningful and deeply emotional relationships. The emotional development of Mercury’s romance with Jim Hutton, his partner of seven years, is relegated to a single conversation. Their entire loving, monogamous relationship is reduced onscreen to a single kiss and a brief hand squeeze.

This minimization makes it an even worse offense that the film does take the time to depict Mercury having a series of promiscuous sexual encounters, which it paints as sordid and shameful. Because Bohemian Rhapsody only equates queerness with sex, and because it frames his queer lifestyle as bad, Mercury’s subsequent AIDS diagnosis is inherently set up and portrayed as a punishment for his queerness.

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.

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.
