BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury, who 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, their near-implosion as Mercury's lifestyle spirals out of control, and their triumphant reunion on the eve of Live Aid, where Mercury, facing a life-threatening illness, leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. In the process, cementing the legacy of a band that were always more like family, and who continue to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.

The guy who played Brian May looks more like Brian May than Brian May.
And a little like Howard Stern I thought
Steven Owen Bet Brian May watched it and wished he could be Brian May.
Kyle Herman howard stern circa 1995? I can see that
I thought the same thing.
He is the real Brian May.. the others are fake
I am speechless with Rami Malek performance especially the live aid concert which made me not blink for that moment, it's like i forgot i actually wasn't watching real Freddie, but he nailed the character so much...
irvanCrocs It was like i thought he was Freddie. Spectacular performance.
Rami did a great job, but a few notes made it glaringly obvious that it wasn't Freddy.
I'm glad they chose to use an "amalgamation of different voices", though. With a mix of a few different voices, it feels less like they just stole Freddy's voice.
Rami needs to WIN an award ... multiple awards. His performance was brilliant. He's come a long way since Night at the Museum.
Remi did beautifully. That's why it doesn't bother me about the contacts. He said with the contacts in, he couldn't portray the emotion he wanted to. He was brilliant!
Wow I felt completely opposite of his acting lol
I was just glad the movie finished on a high, rather than a depressing downhill health declining story. It was awesome and I'll watch it again.
@Monty Python the Flying Circus totally agree and people i speak to already think the film is how.it happened! 🤨
I'm towards 100xs..
Kevin Edward mate I’ve watched this film 5 times in the past 2 days 😂
Ive watched it at least 20 times and ill watch it again. Queen has been my fav rock band since the 70s and still are today. There will never be a group like them. I loved Freddie so much I would've changed myself into a man for him. Lol
I watched it again, last night. I absolutely loved it still. Bear in mind, I've watched it about 5 times now
There’s only room in this band for one hysterical queen
I love this quote so much that sometimes I use it at home 🤣
😂
but they often said they dont wanted to make a documentary, they wanted to make a good entertaining movie about Queen and i think they did
Lies is different though.
Why can't people enjoy this? Its not like its a documentary, Yes the story isn't accurate but some points are. Critics and die hard fans take the fun out of this movie (again not a documentary)
Ooo Mr. Critic here 🙄😏
Tony Lohi
Freddie's life was debauchery, but you take the fun right out of that word.
@@aranyaki9714
Fans are the ones the movie was made for.
My wife and I are 62. We saw this last night. Yes, we noticed some timeline variations. Those did not matter. The film was brilliant. We left with tears in our eyes. Bravo!
Maurice Hilarius OMG. I was crying for like the last hour!! I was so moved by him and his dedication to his friends and then how his father hugged him. I broke down then. Hopefully one day we will all have acceptance as human beings no matter how we live!!!
I did also Maurice. I waited u til all the credits was done rolling. Me husband teared up also along with our friends who went with us.
Thanks for the warning, I'm almost 62 and hope to see the movie this week. I had it all bought to see it in IMAX and then had a migraine. I'll get there
Finally! Another TRUE QUEEN FAN who enjoyed the movie and is not anal about how Freddie was portrayed!!!
@@gpturner0924 As a Queen fan it was a huge lie, so jerked in to the guy in front of me's popcorn.
“If you think 6 minutes is long I pity your wife”
Funny how the video is nearly exactly 6 minutes long 😂
Damien Leigh that was the point
😂
1. Please realize, that this is NOT a history documentary. 2. Brian and Rodger were involved in the production of the film to make it authentic.
Yeah and if they really didn't like it they wouldn't let the movie to be released.
and people never make shit up about their own lives right?
Crap comes out of nice people
yeh and you can tell that they were involved because they made themselves look like angels and made Freddie look like an ego-centric untalented hothead who needed them to be successful, all while butchering his history to make one of the most bland and boring films I've ever seen.
It was still bullshit I don’t want to watch a dramatization of queen that is partly fictional
Am I the only one that is amazed of how Brian May looks 100% the same??
he remind me of richard gere though
Nope. That was the greatest casting of the entire film!
Not surprising, as they got Anita Dobson to play him. His voice is dubbed by Peter Serafinowitz, whose speciality is impersonating people nobody knows what they sound like.
I had to confirmed with my husband.. is that an actor or the real Brian? they look so much the same
@@monalizarapsang7365 A bit older though ;P I had to check if it was his son or something, hehe!
All i know is i want to watch it again
Same
i watch it twice and planning on watching it for the third times.
Saw it yesterday with my youngest son. It was wonderful. Everyone seemed to have a great time!
@@marserairchine9650 you have a memory man, use it
Same
The number of comments stating that it's not a documentary.. like an echo chamber in here. Just because you like something doesn't mean it shouldn't be criticized. The movie was made for the fans, so their opinion counts. And accuracy counts too.
That's true man
@@khrielierio9467 No it is not. The movie was amazing. Who cares how accurate it was, it was not a documentary.
Well they're fans too saying it tho and it's not untrue as biopics leave space for changes
When I first heard not everything in the movie was accurate, I was a little disappointed. I went in seeing this movie, knowing Queen's music, loving Queen's music, but that was it. I was really hoping to learn about Freddie and Queen's story. I, of course, loved the movie, and I still do, but when I heard some stuff wasnt true I got a little sad. But here's my opinion on it now: I thought, honestly, (from reading comments of people saying this) that Brian May and Roger Taylor werent telling the truth when helping out with the movie. That they were lying to make Freddie look bad or whatever. I was so angry and disappointed. I then delved into research, and I watched tons of interviews. I wanted to know if the cast knew that it wasnt accurate. Thinking about this now, obviously they would know Queen's story. They did months of research to become and capture the essence of these legends, SURELY they would know. There was one interview that I feel like answered all of my questions. Rami talked about how chronologically, it wasnt correct but they did that to add dramatization for the movie. The way they had it ordered for the movie made it more emotional for those who dont know Queen's story. I mean, I wanted to ball my eyes out. And theres only so much they can fit into a 2 hour movie. For those who were already die hard queens fans I understand why you'd would be upset, but I believe that this movie wasnt supposed to be one that talks about Freddie's private life and the dark side of everything. It wanted to celebrate his life and Queen's legacy. It wanted to show how they made these iconic songs. No, it wasnt completely accurate, but it still told facts. I think the most inaccurate thing was the order of events, and they did that to make it more dramatic. The way some of the stuff happened wasnt completely accurate either, like how Freddie met Jim and Mary and how Queen became Queen, but it still told their story. Plus if Brian and Roger thought it was good, then why be so critical of it? Ultimately, its their story, and even if you are angry with how this movie turned out, you are gonna have to get over it. Their story was told how they thought it should be told and we cant do anything about it. At least it wasnt put into the hand of someone who didnt know Queen at all (which Brian mentioned in a video I saw of him. They had to do it before someone else did). All we can hope is that Freddie, from heaven, is looking down proud. I hope John enjoyed it too.
If the movie was just Freddie on stage going Aaaaayyy ohh for an hour and a half, I'd still go watch it again.
Me too
Lol, brilliant
😂😂 me too
I would as well. It was a beautiful movie!
@winomagnet You still get to hear his voice in theater dolby surround. Just think of it as a listening party.
This video was great, she didn’t complain about the changes but rather pointed them out and explained them, wow
It's a magical thing called journalism, it does exist still in some capacity these days
Descriptive
The biggest problem was the lead actor couldnt hide his speech handicap so he sounded like his shy character from Mr.Robot at several time. His physicalical acting was top notch, but if he cant overcome his speech deficiency he will never be a good voice actor.
see but how can you know its all true.
the producers were working with the queen members.
Ikr? You wouldn't expect something like that in sucha video format.
i am very twitchy with "band movies", but this movie reach my feelings, i like this movie and the malek's mercury interpretation, was great.
i can't say no.
‘find out how they changed freddie mercury’s real look’ *they didn’t actually have freddie to play freddie* * dramatic music *
I don't believe you!
*shocked Pikachu face*
SHOOK
No way, really?! That's crazy I assumed it was him without hesitation
No crap he’s ded
Who else's cried in the Live Aid scene? Because I did 😔
*I also cried in the part where Freddie told the band that he got Aids.*
Yeah I cried... I don't know how to explain it but it was really a touching moment. Was singing behind my tears
Ken Villarias It was insanely powerful! I cried like a school girl.
Kanye West !!😜😜😜
Ken Villarias 🙋🏼♀️
Yes! I got the chills when they panned to the crowd. Just electric moment and teared up immediately.
The guy playing Brian May looked like ... Brian May. Incredible.
Amazing!
And the guy that played John Deacon looks like.. Deacon and Malek looks like.. Mercury. Amazing.
Arc Kocsog He also looked a little like Howard Stern. Or Howard Stern looks like Brian May.
Beian May decided who played him so i guess he knows himself pretty well
Arc Kocsog Yea! They looked like doppelgängers!
Just wish Marc Martell got more credit for his live vocals.
Hope this movie receives an Oscar
It’s GREAT and
R.I.P
Freddie Mercury😢
It won't.. It's not a Screenwriters guild movie, and as such they seem to prefer US trash instead... I can see Black Panther getting it, although it's Marvel trash but since Stan Lee died, they'll honor him with an Oscar after his death... Should A star is born win it, i'll be forever disappointed about a remake of a remake winning an oscar.
Costumes and make up might be where Bohemian Rhapsody has a chance, but not in best movie.
eidodk I don’t think so man
I think it won film of the year
eidodk is nominated for 13 oscars
chu it’s nominated for 13 Oscars dude!
The movie was really good. These details didn't really matter to me, *nothing really matters to me*.
Is that supposed to be a reference?
@@sachio8610 its a lyric in the song bohemian rhapsody
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
im just a poor boy
Olivia Rennison nob0dylik3sm3
Everyone’s talking about the movies recreation of the Live Aid performance, and for good reason! That scene brought the Live Aid performance to the big screen. It gave those of us who never had a chance to attend that iconic performance a small taste of what it must have been like. That scene was hands down my fav.
You're so right. And of course the timeline is not identical to the reality to some degree, but the movie on the whole is TOP!!!
It's not about any given song performed - it's about Freddie's performance and command of the audience ... Magic!
You can find the Live Aid performance on CZcams . I've watched it a couple of times. now.
Stephanie Huerta it was really hard not to start cheering during hammer to fall in the theater!!!
Agree
*its a metaphor brian*
This was my era: was there in the late 60's, throughout the 70's and afterward. None of the issues brought up in this video bothers me one bit. We loved Queen for the music, not for their personal lives. We all had our own drama and listened to music to escape it, so we cared not a bit about details of the band. The movie was a very well played, feel-good movie and I have watched it several times to make sure I was not just caught up in a moment of nostalgia that would bias my opinion. Nope, I really loved the movie and they all put together a movie that will be watched for some years in the future. A big thanks to all who did so.
Yes we know but.. the real history is Too long for being narrated on 2 hour
They remembered the most important stuff in the movie anyways so
Carolina Gonzalez yeah agreed. i can see why the producers changed some stuff.
The movie is over 2 hours long.. so shut the fuck up.
Ok... you should be right in all... but why we will rock you in the 80ies? just this...
No, not everyone does know. Some people are looking to this for a history lesson.
I loved this movie- it’s not a documentary so I knew that it wouldn’t full on be what happened. The end product was very well and I’m happy how it came out. The actors did well to introduce Queen to younger generations.
What I loved by far the most about the movie was how it dealt with Freddie's sexuality and his diagnosis. They were parts of his story, but they didn't define him. His musical talent and personal relationships defined him.
I'm a little too young to have experienced the peak of the band's success. But I'm still old enough to remember the AIDS craze and how Freddie was always reduced to his diagnosis by the press. This movie finally did him justice.
Queen was already popular with this generation tho
Hes sexuality did define him, at least to an extend. HUmans are sexual beings after all. @@valhalla1240
@@KuopioKallavesi I think there's a difference between living your truth (including your sexuality) and being defined by it. He's not a gay man first and foremost, but that's what the media made of him. They used it because it meant *deviance* and that sold well. He owns his sexuality, his sexuality doesn't own him.
I agree!
Not changing his blue eyes to dark eyes to match Freddy's was really odd
not knowing it's Freddie not Freddy is even odder
Marcus Homs who is Freddy. I only know freddie
This is not the Spelling Bee guys. I felt that was odd to. Really easy to get contacts.
Rami probably couldn't wear them
Aaliyah White it’s respectful to spell a name right. Would you care if people kept calling you Aliyah
For a movie about cats, I don’t see many cats! Where’s; Dorothy, Tiffany, Tom, Jerry, Goliath, Lily, Miko, Oscar, Romeo and ,of course, Delilah?
🐈(Oscar)
as a fan that remembers Live Aid and MTV , I went into the movie realizing that at least a decade of important events would need adjustments to fit into 2 hours....Rami didn't look exactly like Freddie,but he moved like him,and perfected his mannerisms, that was more important to make the role watchable.Critics be damned. It was an amazing movie! the people in the theater were singing along,and we were crying, and arms up for Radio GaGa....at the end we clapped and cheered!! We had Freddie back with us for a tiny bit, and if this movie doesn't sweep the Oscars then is is a crime against the 70s and 80s and rock and roll .~~ See it,you will not be sorry!!
So you don't understand how the Oscars work.
The awards are given to preselected movies that were made to push social agendas.
Ever notice how the awards never go to what people actually liked most?
Because it's not about the people, it's self congratulation, a Hollywood award show to glorify themselves with that they fool people like you into caring about.
Yeah I was crying throughout the last half of the movie, pretty much non stop from the "Love of My Life" scene till the end.
Tearing up just reading this
It really was like that! You nailed it!
hatsheput63 saw it tonight and I wholeheartedly agree
I worked on Bohemian Rhapsody and met Rami Malek. He was in character and he was freakishly good. I played a bouncer at one of the club scenes. I couldn’t wait to see the finished movie. I loved it! As with all legends, it’s not 100% accurate, but it doesn’t matter. It’s about the message and the story and how it makes you feel. I was in tears of emotional exhaustion at the end, but I was so uplifted too.
Just a brilliant film.
I dont usually reply to comments on CZcams but i saw it tonight, it was a magical film. I am a queen fan geek and watched so many shows and documentarys tho wish i had the chance to see queen live for real but i saw adam lambert and queen and that was just as good. God bless your work on this film. And thank you for helping bringing it to life. :)
Cool!! 😃👍 and yep me too...tears kept rolling down my face... The movie was fantastic.
You helped on the movie? Omg I'm so in awe of you! Question.....the only thing that bothered me, which I've not heard anyone say, is the baggie under eyes of Malek. That's bothered me in every video I've seen. Did ANYONE address that, making the show? Or have you heard anyone say anything on this? Am I the only one that's noticed this? I'm so obsessed with Freddie that when I see the movie I'll cry the whole way through! Rami better win the Oscar for this one! Sir...to you, I'm not worthy! Any other tidbits for me? Tell!!!
Tommo BCPT exactly me too! I’ve been balling my eyes out, singing along and so happy to see Freddy become the great man he was (as played by Rami Malek). I bet it was awesome to meet him! He sure is a great actor!
Kim Anderson Moore I’ve not heard anybody say anything about that tbh, I didn’t even notice myself.
It was one of the first movies I worked on and I was just a big excited kid!
Rami came over and just shook my hand and said hello, he seemed very nice and was very professional. I think he deserves some serious recognition for his amazing performance in this. It was an honour to be a small part of it.
This movie turned me into a die-hard Queen fan, and kind of formed a personal connection with Freddie. After a month of countless videos, articles, insta posts, I still can’t have enough of the god of rock. So thankful to this movie, to introduce Freddie in my life!
I’m a Rami Malek fan for life, due to how well he portrayed Freddie! I wish I could thank him to his face for doing such an amazing job! I feel the same way about the rest of the cast!
Watched this last night and was very impressed by Rami's performance. I was a fan of his from Mr. Robot.
Online??
I was a fan since he was SNAFU in The Pacific
I was a fan too..
Now im an air conditioner
Juan Camacho I was a fan since Until Dawn. It’s a game

“How much of what you see in the movie is the bands real life, and how much is just fantasy?”

Bänd Träsh no escape from reality
Beat me to it...😂😂😂
Dear Fans!I am currently working on my guitar arrangement of most requested song Bohemian Rhapsody, so stay tuned!
I honestly loved the movie. The time line changes really didn’t bother me because it didn’t seem like that was the movies focus. It seemed to focus on his character and the bands chemistry rather than an actual timeline of how everything happened. And to make Live Aid an excellent emotional ending, I don’t think continuing the movie to see a scene where he breaks the news to the band would have been a smart decision.
Brian and Roger both liked it. End of discussion.
Feeber Izer Of course they did, compared to Freddie, they came out looking like saints.
Right on brother. As long as the band members liked it its good enough for me. The movie was epic. Hands down one of my favorite.
Brian and Roger were on set a lot, Brian directed a scene or two, of course they like it, they controlled it
It was their movie. They were executive producers. That means they either put up, or raised the money to make it. I would assume they had a lot of say so in how it was done. They have plenty of reason to be pleased with how it turned out. Excellent job by all involved.
They wrote it
rami malek said he didn’t want to wear coloured contacts to change the colour of his eyes as he thought that he wouldn’t be able to show emotions well with them in
I was about to say, Rami wore red contacts in Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 (where he played Benjamin from the Egyptian Vampire Coven), so I wondered why he didn’t do so for this movie. Good to know the reasoning! Can’t wait to see it! My mom is a huge Queen fan so I have watched a few documentaries with her, this was on our list as soon as we saw the trailer!
I found that his eyes showed how lonely and sad he was at times.
i can understand that but today it is no problem to colour them on computer if you really care.
Thank you. I was curious.
@@JackOwens Still would of shown the same emotion with Brown eyes you doughnut
This helped me get back into guitar properly it bloody amazing even if it wasn't 100% correct
I bet Freddie would have loved the bit where he has to beg cap in hand to the great Brian May so they could get back together again. All because of his greed for money and solo success, especially when you consider Freddie was the third member of the band to have a solo album and they hadn’t actually split up. I don’t care about changing stuff for dramatic purposes but I do care about making the dead member of the band look like a bad guy in a movie which wouldn’t even exist without him.
completely true!
To do this to someone who was supposedly your best friend that passed away before his time is so disrespectful,m
Lol I just saw the movie and Freddie never became the bad guy to me. It was that Paul guy I was pissed at. Claiming to want to take care of Freddie then doing him in like that. Psshh.😤
@@HudaefCares True i read up on it earlier after watching it Freddy got rid of Paul Prenter in 86' and Prenter gave an interview (instead of the tv interview in 85') to the Sun in 87' and damned Freddy in that interview so he was still a bad guy.
It’s a good point but the film highlights that Freddie’s poor decisions were directly made from Paul’s influence. So I don’t ever see it as Freddie being the bad guy, he was just listening to somebody he trusted at the time. And when he realizes that Paul was lying to him and manipulating him, Freddie goes back to his normal self with the band. That’s how I see it at least.
They had a disclaimer tho at the end of the film saying that some events were changed for dramatic purposes so....
ihavewords ihavethebestwords uuuups im not a native speaker so maybe thatll excuse me...
@ihavewords ihavethebestwords Thats what he said??????? Disclaimer none of this actually happened.
As true Queen Fan, the movie was a little cheesey. The wigs --- looked like wigs- They never sweated on stage- The stage setup did not look like a REAL stage- very proppy.
FACTS and details of Queen were all over the place with timelines. REALLY? Movie should of been shot grainier- with more of a dark side- and with a Director who did more of 70's nostalgic props and sets. it looked more like a Waynes world set. Horrible Photography. Reminded me of that DEF Leppard Cheesey movie.
@@Dozereyes agree with you. The real, good Queen movie still waits to be made. Giving Freddie the tribute he deserves and show him like he really was. There was so much fear of Brian & Roger to make it authentic, it really lacks the drive and daring Freddie had. Only Borat would have been able to portray that. Brian & Roger chickened out.
I stayed until all the credits ended and I didn’t see it. When was it?
As one of the biggest queen fans I know I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and thought it was one of the best I had seen in a good while. Knowing all the history I still loved that my favorite band got a movie. Despite the inaccuracies (not every biopic can be perfect) it showed the up and down struggle of a broken man not knowing how to take care of himself. I love it so much
I think it makes him look extremely steange, which is suppose he was, but not in a nice way in some scenes. The ones with Mary Austin in the middle, make him look like a controlling stalker.
Though the film has the most romantic line ever on screen, shame its the most romantic split up ever.
My wife says I don't have a romantic bone, but god damn, when they are sat I'm the couch and he says "10s of thousands singing to you Mary" , even my stone Heart beated once.
SHAFFER TUBE yes PREACH
Also the if you’re a true queen fan you picked up on all the little things they got right, the picture of Marlene Dietrich above his mantle (the picture that inspired the shadowy artwork for bohemian rhapsody), and how in his early career his mic stand broke off and he liked it so used it like that for the rest of his career, all of his cats (13 at one point), his style, Brian’s guitar, they’re experimental techniques... sooooo much stuff they got right, if you’re a true queen fan you’d understand if you want straight facts go watch a documentary, but if you want average people to go to the movies to see a Hollywood production so they can meet Freddie and queen, they couldn’t have done a better job in my opinion.. my biggest fear was they were going to “straight wash” Freddie’s life and not dig deep enough into his gay life.. but they executed that perfectly.. the average person is not going to watch a documentary and the things they did change wouldn’t make average people think anything less of Freddie and queen, perfect movie
SHAFFER TUBE the way I see it is if Brian and roger were fine with it, shouldn’t we be?
I totally agree!
I actually remember “We Will Rock You” coming out in the late 70s when I was in grade school!
Another inaccuracy is the fact that the band actually encouraged Freddie to make a solo album whereas in the movie we see them fight over it and then break up (temporarily).
its a movie not a documentary series, so ofc they have to change some parts.
Joker_ Nice profile pic
yea they didn't have 10 hours lol
The changes aren't being criticised, just pointed out
Ill criticise them! Its a movie rewriting people's ideas about what really happened.Of course they should be true to what happened! Its very easy.
Elizabeth *** everything that was changed was approved by all members of the band so if they don’t care why should you
If you want the full story, Watch a Documentary..The movie was great.
Which one?? If there is more than one??😅
Yes, I loved the documentary
Ditto

@@Xlovesmaryse You may like to watch Freddie Mercury Story : His tragic Aids Story(2016), with the photo of young Freddie & Mary..✌
Nothing bothers me more than his eyes being different. Rami has certainly acted so well, he has impersonated brilliantly. It's just the eyes i wish were black.
Lol. Riiiiiiight.
Omg i thought i was the only one that bugged. Freddie had beautiful dark eyes and rami has gorgeous gray eyes. I wanted to yell put in some contacts. Eyes are the essence of a person. Windows to the soul as they say. It still bugs me 2 yrs later. His teeth weren't that big either. If you are going to portray someone as iconic as Freddie Mercury you should try to make yourself as close as possible
Robin Smith from what I’ve heard Rami couldn’t put on contacts because they irritated his eyes

This movie was so good. I encourage everyone who’s old enough to watch that movie. The camera angles in the movie, specifically during the live aid concert, were absolutely revolutionary! The camera following his fingers playing the piano and the between the legs shot was just awesome! SUCH. A good movie. They need to win every single award!
I agree. My favorite part was the between the leg shot @ liveaid

Not a chance, not a patch on a star is born
Ellie Shaw don’t get me wrong, that was good too. But Bohemian Rhapsody is better just based on the cameras, songs, and general story of a real band over a love story of two people who happened to be artists. It’s just a different movie altogether. But Lady Gaga was insane in that movie. Really well done
The movie was NOT a documentary. It was for entertainment...PERIOD!!
Jamie Layton it’s supposed to be a biography isn’t it? Stick to the truth and don’t feed us all these lies. People who watch the movie actually believes that this is how things played out. Not cool.
”Based on real events” is what they should call it. Then I would be ok with it.
Wither81 you’re right!
@@Wither81 Fox categorizes the movie as drama so I don't think they mean it's a documentary.
@@Wither81 Lol, "don't feed us all these lies" there's a lot of truth in the movie so "all these lies" seems a bit over the top to me 😁
It's like "grrrrhmmmmgrrrggg, they said it's not all true and then they put dramatized content in it - grrr 🤬 more swearwords, damn and double damn" 😂😂😂
Benny Lloyd-Willner Do you think Biography and documentary is the same thing? 🙄
But I loved the original story(from' Queen the early years ' book) That when they needed a new lead singer. The lads asked Freddie(get this) if he knew anybody? Not would he? But did he know anybody?
No movie will ever do Freddie 100% justice. He & his story are a complete enigma almost stranger than fiction. But Rami Malek nailed the essence of him. Uncanny. Goosebumps through the entire film & even after. I LOVED this movie! And what a sad, tragic, beautiful love story between he & the band AND he & Mary. I want to see it again.
A lot of people are allergic to those contacts, for example Daniel Radcliffe couldn’t wear green contacts in Harry Potter as he was allergic
Fun little trivia: He was also allergic to the glasses due to the material, surprisingly. They had to make a new pair and everything
And tbh Rami did such a great performance I couldn't care less about hi eyes color.
Cheap Vodka actors do not use contacts as it prevents them from using the eyes to express the emotions. Otherwise they look robotlike.
Rami said that he hated wearing brown contacts in Twilight and that it was not a great deal in terms of acting...
Huh, never heard of being allergic to contacts, but I guess that could make sense. If you don’t wear contacts regularly I could also see it just being amazingly uncomfortable and hard to work with, or the colored ones making it hard to be expressive with your eyes. Many different possible reasons. (Though i think mostly it’s because it’s just not that important a detail)
Magical thanks So much

Hello there
For all of you complaining that the movie didn't completely tell Freddie's story, it's not a documentary. It's not meant to capture the complete story of his life, plus the movie had plenty of details about his life. If you want his full life story, watch a documentary.
Lol um ok didn't mean to start a controversy so nm srry
I don't care about the inaccuracies, I'm complaining because the movie was shit. At least other music biopics are pleasingly formulaic, but this movie is just pathetic.
@@VultureClone what was wrong with it
I love the movie and I really appreciate how it emphasized Freddie's incredible talent and energy and the band's music. I'm glad that they didn't emphasize many of the things in Freddie's private life that would have filled the movie with seamy things that had nothing to do with the band's incredible talent and their contributions to the world!
For every video or article pointing out the inaccuracies in a biopic there's a hundred people who willingly clicked on it just to point out that it's not a documentary.
I might ask you why you're complaining. It's like a braindead echo chamber. WHAT is wrong with pointing out where a biopic differs from the events it's based on? NO ONE has given me an answer to this. Because there isn't. People believe what's in a biopic. What are they supposed to do, google every single event that's portrayed on screen individually (because listicles compiling inaccuracies are now verboten). That's why people write these things. Believe it or not, some people actually want to know how the movies differ from real life. So those articles are for them, not you.
Basically you're saying Hollywood should be given free reign to rewrite history for the sake of money. No.
Accuracy aside Rami had a truly unbelievable performance
Unbelievable in a good way:)
I'm unsubscribing. Yes he diddddddd
Thought he did an awesome job. Cant think of anyone who could play him.
there's always a negative statement somewhere, jeez... I agree 100% Keelin McCoy, Rami did a most awesome job, I really can't think of a better actor to do this
Barry Engle Sasha Baron Cohen
The changes didn’t bother me at all. It was an awesome movie going to see it again
It was bloody awesome! Thanks for the video
"The genius can not be imitated." Luc de Clapiers, Marquis de Vauvenargues (1715 - 1747)
The cast is soooooo identical to the real Queen
Ikr
except for Rami and Ben, yes.
They actually pulled the real Brian May from 1970 for the movie!
except for malik, doesnt look like queen
I don't see it.
What I really like about this video is that she clearly understands the nature of biopics. Biopics are never 100% accurate because in order to fit real life events into an organized narrative, events need to be rearranged, taken out, or embellished. Great video!
Took the words out of my mouth.
Yes! exactly what i was thinking!
4fourEyes Productions l
So essentially biopics are just fluffy lies.
@@wolfereignowns1154 Hey, you found the definition of "movies" ! Good job !
Haters gonna hate, some people were against Rami getting this role
I think there was some criticism about him not doing his own singing, but they had to use Freddie Mercury's voice because no one could sing like him.
Just watched it an hour ago. AMAZING.
No matter what irregularities there may be in timelines no one can deny the musical genius of Freddie.
I had goosebumps heaps of times throughout the movie.
Great job Rami.
You know, “Bohemian rhapsody” and “A Star is Born” had a very close release dates. “A Star is Born” critics reviews was very warm, but for me movie was just ok( and I love Gaga so much by the way). And completely different situation with a “Bohemian rhapsody”, reviews was neutral, but I left this movie speechless with tears. Despite a little difference from real story, this movie was so strong, powerful and inspiring, Rami Malik did a magnificent work, Bravo!
If your a Queen of course you are obviously going to be biased, it's not bad you are obviously going to favor one over another before you see them.
I thoroughly enjoyed both films and hope both are nominated for Oscars!!
I couldn't agree more
Exactly what happened to me and no we are not biased.. I was not a super fan before, i just respected queen and listened to them occationally, but i left the movie theatre with tears.... and that simply did not happen to me with star is born.. there was something predictable and obvious.. no hate, just wasnt that strong movie for me.. And of course it is completely different from BR.. So why are we even comparing these movies anyway 😅.. Peace ✌️🎶🎤🖤
But why would you leave in tears? The movie intentionally avoids the emotional drama and weight of Freddie's aids and simply decides to end on a happy note with Live Aid. Plus the way the played it as a break up/reunion/freddie telling the band he has aids didn't work because of the film never actually establishes any relationship between the band members. They keep saying "we're a family" but they never actually show how or why and so it all just feels hollow. So why tears? The only reason I can think of is because it invokes feelings towards the actual Freddie and so it's not actually the film itself succeeding at riling up your emotions.
The funny thing is, I’d have watched a five hour movie about Queen
It could have been a 6 part, 6 hour series and done it right. I did enjoy it though.
*six hours
@@sonamilia2229 six-hour* he was right
I too would have watched it no matter the length. I just wish they had been more accurate. I realize it's a movie and not a documentary but some of the facts were just so far off that it took away from it just a little. I'm glad I went and I'll go to every movie/documentary made about Queen or Freddie.
You mean like Tom Petty's documentary on Netflix? What is it again, 4 hours long?
That movie was truly amazing even with the differences in timeline and looks it was still a masterpiece of a movie
I freaking loved the film and always loved the music by Queen.
I forgot to breathe watching "Bohemian Rhapsody". It was that good.
I like seeing the differences. Although I don't take offense at all in the changes. It's a film, not a documentary. So it's ok to change a few things for a better storytelling effect
Your not a huge Queen fan, period. If thas how you feel I was pissed off and I'm just a fan not a huge fan like say Nazereth, anybody really into Queen would be like wtf. anyone into movies and fiction and good stories will like this, its a good story just untrue.
joseph macauley oh sorry, are you the Queen fan police? Hahaha Geez.
Queen has been my favorite band ever since I was a kid. It was the first band I listened to and listed it as my favorite band in every quiz I ever filled. Lol. But being a fan is not a competition. Other fans know a lot more about the background history, yeah. But I still knew a lot of things and knew some things were different when I watched the film.
But I knew it was a film.
So I didn't get mad.
If there was a documentary and they change things or a book, that's different. It's not so much about being a fan, more of you expectations when watching a film based on something.
It's like Hamilton the musical. They changed so much, to fit the story. And that's fine! I still learned a lot about American history from watching it, especially the research I did into the differences to facts and that's where I learned a lot more.
@@easilyoffended7772 And of course, its just subjective. To me, these amount of changes were ok. But if they had changed eeeverthing or left out important themes entirely, then I wouldn've liked it.
it might be a film, but its supposed to be based on REAL events, that the film makers change around for convenience. Thats wrong. By that token you can just rewritte history for the big screen whenever you feel like it.
infinite8 have you seen movies? That's whats done lol.
No historical movie is 100% accurate
The movie wasn’t meant to dwell on his drama! It meant to share how he was a musical genius! That’s why it’s called BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY (his masterpiece) and not Farrokh Bulsara. There’s a line in the film that says he doesn’t want to be the poster child for HIV and AIDS. Sure the movie touches on his personal life but that wasn’t the main point.
Except there is a little known masterpiece that preceded BoRap called "The March of the Black Queen" that came out in 1974 that laid the groundwork for that later song. Completely overlooked, why?
but it was all his drama o.o
I went to see it in theaters a couple days ago, and it got a standing ovation!!
My God! I have watched this film maybe 15 or more times. I can't get enough. Rami and the rest of the group, plus the producer did such a magnificent job! It is truly my favorite film of the century!
It is what it is: the story of Queen and the world's greatest drama-queen. The changes are okay. It's a movie. Not a documentary. Everything relevant was told. And all of the performances were great.
Its all lies and bullshit. They all left none of this shit happened this way, none of the time is right its based on a few things thats it, Brian May made the band look great and Freddie look like a jerkoff very uncool and fiction.
Not everything was wrong. And if you want a bloody documentary watch a documentary. According to the ones I know who met him he was an asshole. A very talented one. He was more concerned about his cats than anyone and anything else.
The changes really didn't bother me. All in all it was a beatiful movie
Some of the dialogue between Freddie and other characters at times felt a bit contrived, but overall the performances and character development were pretty convincing. I was left feeling a little confused about the details of his relationship with Mary Austin -- I think that could have been explored a bit more in-depth as well.
Give an Oscar to this man !
He played Freddie Mercury Perfectly, He was fantastic, the Actors who played the band was Also Excellent
Great Movie
He deserves a Oscar's and Grammy Awards! Period!
Nothing really matters.. anyone can see. Nothing really matters. Nothing really matters to meeeee. Any way the wind blows.
👍
Favourite comment on the internet so far :D
My favourite lines ever. So damn special and beautiful.
@@phoenixgirl70 If you want some good lines, and an all around amazing movie experience. Watch Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind.
Schmidteren, I own the DVD! It’s one of my absolute favourite movies of all time. It never gets old. I thought Jim Carry should have been nominated for an Oscar and Kate as well. Just so inventive, thought provoking, transcendent. Maybe they were but didn’t win. Have you seen A Single Man? Colin Firth stars in it and it was directed by Tom Ford. It’s just beautiful in every way.
The movie was amazing. Made me really love Freddie and wish he was still with us. Amazing man and talent. His music will live forever~
AMAZING movie. Saw it opening night, watched it on my Fire Stick, bought the DVD and Blu ray. Best “music” movie I have seen. LOVE Queen!
It's almost as if the plot of the movie fits with the song it is named after. "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?" The song tells a very true story with fictional details - so I feel that is what this movie represents. It tells a real story in the way Freddie would have wanted to tell it. "Its all about presentation, darlings!"
Good point dang
@@benoitavril4806 idk why a dead star would reveal where he could possibly be to the public where everyone could see it... But ok
Freddie would have cast someone much better looking than Malek to play him.
@@SusanKaller Sorry, but Malek is extremely handsome. I've been a huge fan ever since I saw Night at the Museum and I think everyone who saw that movie had a crush on him.
I study where Freddie studied 😍 our SU bar is called ‘Freddie’s Bar’ it’s dedicated to him!
Feel gay already? You to be him don't you?
E. Male I’m not sure whether that’s supposed to be an insult or not. If so, next time make sure your sentences actually make sense mate. 👌
@andy p It's your brain that is mush. Your comments are utterly moronic and your grammar is atrocious.
r/Iamverysmart
So did I. There is a star dedicated to Freddie in Feltham square, where he lived.
I loved the movie. My 14 year old granddaughter wanted to see it for her birthday. I can't wait to buy the DVD when it comes out.
i really like how you gave reasons on why the producers probably made certain changes
Yeah it's inaccurate in the timeline but in my opinion it doesn't matter that much
Didnt matter. I revist the Documenteries after the 1st time seeing the movie . I revisit the music. The movie is about the music. That's it
Exactly.
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Things happened, just diff. Timeline
I went to the theatre yesterday and i have to say, this is a truly magnificent movie. Great casting, with almost all actors doing fantastic performances, especially Rami as Freddy Mercury, who probably was a tough character to play as.
What people need to remember is, that this wasn't a Documentary. This was a biopic and biopics always dramatize certain things, because drama and conflict is the essence of a movie.
exactly! they still have to make a movie and tell a story that fits the movie format. and since the members of queen agreed that it was good i think thats enough
Brian playing and teaching Gwilym guitar is just too sweet to look at. Am I the only who love that in this clip? 😭😍♥️
It didn’t bother me in fact it’s kind of fun they didn’t name the movie : Freddie Mercury’s documentary so it’s kind of ok .. I’ve enjoyed watching the film and I’ve cried soo much too .. they didn’t mess up the facts they just made it more dramatic and lovable ^^
Queen say its more about the band than Freddie well meant to be .. even though I would love to see an actual film of Freddie still a great movie but t hats why it wasn't named after Freddie because it more about the band and it's transitions and hard knock living on the road and hard times the band had fell on.
as many of the comments have said, this is a great video that doesn’t point out nit picky flaws but actually connects more dots about events in the movie. glad i watched this after seeing the (incredible) movie!
Why is incredible in ( )
IT IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!
Hannah S except for them mentioning his eye color, kind of glossed over that.
Thank you for this video. I saw Queen in 1977, my first concert, and I was in awe of "We Will Rock You", especially the way they engaged the crowd to help them to perform the song. I scraped together my allowance and bought News of the World the next day. While watching the movie, I looked at my husband and said, that's wrong... I saw that song live in 1977. I understand that a movie needs to be compacted to a mere 2 hours, but some facts need to remain true. The actors portraying the band were spot-on and a small thing like eye color did not phase me. Bohemian Rhapsody brought out all the emotions for me, I cannot wait to purchase a copy to watch over and over again.
So lucky to have seen them
Pam Robinson i feel the exact same. truly a beautiful movie
Hello!! I'm a teenager who recently saw this movie with my parents, and while of course things were wrong, my parents would agree that it wasn't too big of a deal, as it still managed to get points across without running out of time. It sort of reminded me of The Buddy Holly Story, or La Bamba, with all the facts crammed in to get as much information in as possible. While of course some things were wrong, it still have the same outcomes and made great films^^
Great story.. I also saw them in 1978 in Oakland, California my first concert ever at age 14. Bought the Album after and still have to this day. Such a powerful experience to see Queen live !
You’re so lucky! ❤️
I heard of Queen as a band but never listened and paid attention to Queen before the movie which I fell in love with and them. I also fell in love with their music and the actor Rami Malek!
Coralline Rami Malek is an amazing actor. You should watch Mr.Robot, 2019 is going to be it’s last season.
The only one fact that I recognized immediately, since I was familiar with "We Will Rock You" and when it came out, was the time line. That film was excellent and contagious, you want to keep coming back for more. The acting by Rami Malek was excellent and truly deserves an Oscar.
I wondered how they shuffled things around. Doesn't detract from how much I loved the movie, though!
Just got back. I cried a little
@@GP-ci8qt when see he's father, i creid a little
@@williamnikolic224 What killed me, was the very end how he played we are the champions, just the lyrics almost letting on that he's about to die. I was crying then jammed to the credits of dont stop me now
exactly , who cares ...good movie and brings back old memories ...Still a legend
Me too, I loved the movie, a little crying, a little laughing, and a lot of wanting to stand up and sing. 😁 I loved the movie. I thought they were all really good in their roles. And as the movie progressed Rami looked more and more like Freddie. 😊😊😊 loved it.
I was in tears at the movies , i guess it was because it feld like Freddy was a lonesome person, , even he was surronded by a lot of people. What a shame.. so young to die... :(
YeaH the lame untrue story had you in tears didnt happen like this at all.
@@easilyoffended7772 Hi there :) yes, that may be true, fact is that Freddy Died much to young. And So what if it wasn't chronicle in order, his friends let the movie happening... in honor of Freddy. Rami Malek did a great job to bring the emotions to the public hahaha! (and i am a cry baby) lol :p
@@AraKing Well the reality is its a good story it's just not the Queen story they don't even meet that way. I'm not concerned if it's well acted but they took i mean the outline of a few facts mixed it in with lies and made a story and called it Queen. I agree Freddy died way to young, I just can't believe they are acting like this is Queen and its not what happened or even the facts they do stretch aren't in order. They made Freddie out to be the problem and he was not. he didn't even have Aids then I mean whose story are we telling here, well I guess were calling it Queen.
@N F You know absolutely Dick about Queen then did you even hear the video They changed the timeline, how they met, acted like Freddy broke up the band, if you think this is the story to Queen, your in denial. They did not meet this way, there was no build up, Freddy didn't even break the band up fuck they didn't meet this way. They were on tour during live aid NONE OF IT IS TRUE. And the guy looks nothing absolutely nothing like Freddy. It's just a story about a band and they slapped the name on it. Leaving out facts is the same thing as what? Lying, like ya know if your wife doesn't tell you after your married she fucked someone, but said it was before and instead of the ugly idiot it was a model Harvard Grad I'm sure that has happened to you so get what I'm saying. Do some research Freddy didn't know he had Aids til 87' this just isn't the story of Queen that's a fact not a debate I grew up with Queen. It's a keep your interest kind of touching story that Brian would most likely want to believe cause he's a dickhead but a fabrication all the same.
@N F I mean Christ he was having sex with women as well like its not there, they made him a gay guy in the closet just odd.
Fantastic movie, congrats to the cast and crew.
In the movie they made it theme that Freddie Mercury was always down & when he came out to Mary, she left him alone (that wasn’t true). She stood by him even when he came out to her, they always loved each other. He was close to he sister, he never came out to his parents. The band Queen did fights but it was to get their ideas to come
At 3:51, Brian May has traveled back in time to meet his younger self. Haha
The Actor playing Brian May in the movie was the best cast part, He looks exactly like Brian.
@@somedude4774 Exactly my point. :)
I thought it was him playing him for a second
I think Roger too @@somedude4774
Yes!! And John Deacon’s character began looking more and more like him as the movie progressed. I was astonished! 😮
Looking forward to seeing it, was at Theatre this weekend watching Venom and we could hear “We will Rock U” thru the walls during the previews lol
You're gonna love it, everybody in the theater was crying. That movie was breathtaking
Loved it!
Loved it!
😊never heard of mercury till about 4 months ago, but had heard a little of his music. He was talented for sure.
