    I can’t believe they made a remake of Walk Hard but left out all the jokes.

    best picture showcase: film #3 “don’t you see what you could be?” the only allure here for me is that queen’s music is pretty good, and it also acts as the glue that haphazardly holds it all together. the first time i saw it i was charmed by the musical scenes (and also had no idea about the numerous controversies the film has surrounding it like a wasp hive), but over time i realized this has almost nothing else of value or substance to offer: the dialogue is cheap and fake, the plot is so poorly paced and the editing is incredibly embarrassing when focused in on. you can easily guess that members of queen had a part to play…

    1 “How many times do we need to teach you this lesson, old man?” Abominable. Chickenshit exploitation of queerness and public persona, in addition to being formally inept. Every single element of this movie is subpar, lacking in nuance and a solid foundation of existence. All of the reaction shots are gold – everyone is lost: in geography, character motivation, respect of authenticity or even some semblance of cinematic coherence. Nothing is even remotely aware of its functionality. The film is honestly surreal in its dumpster fire hubris. Rami Malek’s prosthetic teeth have an agenda of their own, I swear. I would say this is like a modern SNL sketch, but at least they’re trying. The fake wigs and cheap…

    Hm. It wasn’t….HORRIBLE. But yeah. From my general knowledge of Freddie, as well as what this movie is saying, he was the epitome of pushing boundaries and thinking outside the box and this movie is literally the fucking box. Straight Outta Compton and this felt so similar in how they were shot and told and they are about two COMPLETELY different groups. That’s an issue. Everything besides Rami’s performance and the cinematography was just okay. That being said it was watchable and I guess I did stay entertained throughout it’s entirety. But when you look at what exactly this film means and the man it surrounds…Freddie deserves better, or maybe nobody should make anything about him in general being how unique his approach is. Also how is nobody talking about the GOD awful editing. It was like an Edgar Wright film that wasn’t paced well or cut right which is THE WORST POSSIBLE THING.

    “I don’t have time to be their cautionary tale.” Freddie says this to his bandmates when he reveals his diagnosis with HIV. It’s an ironic scene, really, given it takes place entirely because this film turned him into one. Freddie’s contraction of HIV and eventual death are framed within the film as a tragic inevitability, of which he and his manipulator are to blame. It’s his punishment; for his ego, for pushing his band members away. Pushing them away, that is, by embracing his sexuality. This sexuality is “awakened” within the narrative by Paul Prenter, Freddie’s personal manager. The film turns him into a one-note villain, there only to take advantage of Freddie. It is through Paul that he’s introduced…

    is this the real life? is this just blasphemy? and by a landslide, worst film in eternity… close your eyes or look up to some other screeeeeen it’s just a poor movie, it needs no sympathy because it’s poorly paced, poorly done lots of lows, zero fun any way his teeth grow, doesn’t really matter to me… fuck this movieeeee (yes the rumors are true i fell asleep during the live aid sequence because this was the worst movie of the year)

    Everything you need to know about “Bohemian Rhapsody” — a broad, frivolous, and uselessly formulaic biopic about an inimitable band of misfits — can be surmised from a graphic that gets plastered across the screen in big letters when Queen embarks on their first American tour: “Midwest USA.” Not “Cleveland,” or “Detroit,” or “Kansas City,” but just “Midwest USA.” There’s not even a comma. That’s the degree of specificity in play here. If not for Rami Malek’s feral posturing as one of rock history’s greatest frontmen, a deep roster of killer songs, and the long shadow of his band’s iconic 1985 performance at Live Aid, this movie could effectively be about any musicians, at any time, rolling through any part…

    Ugly revisionism. Made so they can edit around the relationship to appeal to homophobic audiences oversees. Aside from that, just dull. Feels like a lot of compromises had to made, and not compromises that made for a better movie.

    Eu amo queen, sei que os integrantes da banda tiveram altos e baixos mas a forma como deixaram o Freddy como se fosse um babaca, foi sem noção KKKKKKKKKKK 80% dessas duas horas de filme foi puro esteriótipo. Acho que dava sim para abordar uma biografia mais fiel e não olhar só pontos negativos, além de passarem por toda a história de forma muito superficial. Fora isso, MAAAAAAMAAAAA UUUUUUUUUUU🗣️🗣️🗣️ I DONT WANNA DIIIIIEEEEE, I SOMETIMES WISH NEVER BE BORN(pausa dramática)AT AAAAAAAALLLLL🗣️🎸🎸🎸

    Très émouvant et hyper bien réalisé, c’est poignant et en même temps assez léger tout en étant compréhensible pour ceux qui découvrent Queen. Malgré tout ça, l’étoile manquante à la perfection est la suivante : une question m’a traversé l’esprit à la fin du film, au fameux concert de l’aid ; « Qu’est ce que le nouveau mec de mary fout là ?! » Littéralement, je ne vois pas ce qu’il fout dans les coulisses du concert, ok il est…

    I really enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody, especially the story. I honestly didn’t know much about Freddie Mercury or Queen before watching it. I knew a few of their songs and, of course, that famous moment where Freddie gets the whole crowd involved at the concert, but that was basically it. So I actually learned a lot about him and the band through this movie, including his sexuality and how complicated it was for him to accept that part of himself. I…

    La película es buena y disfrutas verla mientras cantas los éxitos de la banda británica queen pero siento que no abordaron de la forma correcta la vida de Fredy mercury ya que hay muchas cosas que no abordaron por no manchar la imagen pública de la banda , desde mi perspectiva como fan de queen tenían una historia increíble que contar y solo dieron cachos de esa historia

    A Moving, Warm Rhapsody Honoring the Vulnerable Soul Behind a Legendary Icon. 181202 (5.0) Farrokh loved “Freddie Mercury” far more than he loved his own self. Deep down, he was always a frightened, lonely boy who constantly needed reassurance of being loved. A film crafted like a warm rhapsody painted by the family and loved ones he left behind, echoing Freddie’s endless plea: “No matter what happens, no matter who I am, you will still love me, won’t you?” Directed…
