Bohemian Rhapsody, the 2018 film, has touched not just usual Queen fans but also many people’s souls. This heartfelt movie about Freddie Mercury brought many people to tears, from his start in Queen to his untimely and tragic death.
Bohemian Rhapsody isn’t technically a documentary but the film does show the sad truth about Freddie Mercury’s life. The death of Freddie Mercury and the shame brought from the terrible rumors that spread about him were very traumatic for him and others at the time. This movie puts all of that to rest and lets the power of Queen live on and officially put the shame to rest.
Freddie Mercury touched many lives, his death from HIV/AIDS caused the whole world to mourn over him. Freddie Mercury was truly iconic and will always be remembered, long after he’s passed on into the great stage in the sky.
Freddie Mercury along with the rest of the Queen band; Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon, were true heroes of music. Queen made musical history from mixing up rock and opera in their songs so that the crowd can follow along with the beat. Queen was the beginning of a new generation of music that will never be erased from history.
Bohemian Rhapsody is an amazing movie that I believe everyone should see! The film truly shows the classics of 1980s style and music. It was all interesting and fun, from Live Aid to the popular crazy fashion trends!
The film gave special performances of classic Queen songs including everyone’s favorite “We will rock you” to the famous “Bohemian Rhapsody”. Queen brought the whole world together through the power of rock and opera music and still continues to do so today as shown by the reaction of this film.
“Queen is King!” “It makes you wish you were born earlier!” “Long Live Queen!” states a few of the many reviews currently on IMDB. It is obvious from quotes of millions of viewers that Bohemian Rhapsody is truly an outstanding movie!
Queen is one of a kind, and therefore in some way will always stay alive as their legend will live on.
