Bohemian Rhapsody – 4 out of 5

For some reason, my dad—who was responsible for much of my music taste and also is the one who instilled in me a love of movies—never really exposed me to Queen at an early age.  My dad would constantly feed me heavy metal and a lot of classic rock bands but, for one reason or another, Queen wasn’t a part of that—and my dad was a fan of Queen.  When the first Wayne’s World film came out, there was that iconic scene of Wayne and Garth headbanging to Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” and I fell in love with the song.  It was at that point my dad opened me up to arguably one of the most amazing bands to ever grace the world of music.  When I heard the early rumors of a biopic about Queen being made, I was excited—especially since I head Sacha Baron Cohen was playing Freddie Mercury.  As the film made its journey through the battlefield of production, many changes occurred—some of them were great like Mr. Robot’s Rami Malek in the lead and some were not so good as alleged sexual predator Bryan Singer was brought on as director—but when that first trailer hit…I was all-in.  Now, after seeing the final product, the feature did a great job at honoring some truly amazing artists.

"One-of-a-kind" is thrown around a lot but Mercury truly was one-of-a-kind.

Farrokh Bulsara (Malek) is a struggling artist who hopes to one day make it as a singer.  After introducing himself to drummer Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy) and guitarist Brian May (Gwilym Lee), he offers to become their frontman after their singer quits.  After they agree and are joined by bassist John Deacon (Joseph Mazzello), Farrokh changes his name to Freddie Mercury and the group starts to forge a path of unique artistry among rock music the likes of which has never been seen.  What follows is experiments in music, nonstop touring, and Freddie discovering his sexuality but when problems starts to mount in the group and Freddie heads out to record some solo albums, tensions mount and a schism is formed in the band.  Things are made even worse as Freddie’s health starts to deteriorate but, just as it gets its darkest, the group is offered a chance to make history and perform at Live Aid at Wembley Stadium.

I would say this film had me listening to a lot of Queen afterwards but, in fairness,
I listen to Queen pretty much on the reg.

Bohemian Rhapsody, at its best, is as flashy and as eye-catching and extra as Mercury himself.  It has a slick presentation that takes only a small moment to compose itself at the beginning, like it is taking a deep breath, and then it rockets you through the band’s journey and rise in fame and all the way to their memorable Live Aid performance—it wanted to make a Super Sonic Man/Woman out of you with its story (how’s that for a forced reference?).  The feature is visually appealing, terrifically acted and it makes great use of the band’s musical library—my toes were constantly tapping and I was singing along pretty much the entire time.

He doesn't want to work.  He just wants to...um...I don't know...
maybe bang on those drums all day?

Mike Myers had a fun cameo that I really enjoyed
and gave a nice reference to Wayne's
World.
You can’t talk about Bohemian Rhapsody without mentioning that cast.  The transformation that occurred to make Rami Malek into Freddie Mercury is nothing short of magic.  The makeup effects to create the overbite is one thing but the work that Malek did to get the body language and ticks down was so comprehensive that it was easy to forget that you were watching an actor play Mercury and not just seeing the real thing.  Honestly, the entire casting for the band is pretty much perfection.  So much attention was given and the spotlight was shined so brightly on Malek (and for good reason) but I was also blown away with how Gwilym Lee look almost exactly like Brian May.  Yes, Malek really steals the show and perfectly encapsulates one of rock’s greatest showmen but the entire cast in this film was incredible.  Everyone from the performers who made up the band to those filling up the roster of people in the band’s life and career were terrifically suited for the roles they were in and really helped to craft the world of Queen.

You probably could have easily convinced me that Gwilym Lee really was Brian May.

Bohemian Rhapsody is a pretty killer film that is very entertaining but it is not without its fair share of glaring issues.  It already greatly sucks that Bryan Singer directed it and, due to the growing list of allegations against him, it gave me a gross feeling in the back of my mind when I watched it.  I am comforted a little that he was fired from the film but it still stinks he was a part of this.  The other problems that plagued this film come in the form of editing and changes to history.  

Queen trusted their future to Little Finger?!?

I found it strange that, a film that had such amazingly edited trailers, so often had bad editing making several scenes very cringe-worthy to sit through.  Fast pace, multi-cut scenes that are littered in this film often work when I was experiencing the “montage” moments of the bands rise in fame but during slower scenes, like when they are first meeting to sign with a record company, fast pace, multi-cuts looked obnoxious and gave the otherwise cool scene a very needlessly anxious vibe.  This happens several times throughout the story and it became very distracting for me.

It took me most of the film before I realized that this was Tim from Jurassic Park.

When it comes to biopics, I tend to lean towards the forgiving side when they make alterations to history.  Usually, these moments are small and are created to up the drama factor a tad but sometimes they are large and end up turning the drama up so high that they feel gratuitous.  A lot of facts were altered for Bohemian Rhapsody and, most of the time, these alterations were fine and didn’t harm my enjoyment of the film but the way the story handled Mercury’s illness felt tacky.  Mercury had (and died from complications from) HIV and didn’t learn about it until around 1986 or ’87 and the band didn’t find out until the 90s almost hit.  The film (SPOILERS) has him learn of and reveal the fact before the Live Aid show.  Since this is the culmination of the film (and possibly the highest point of the real band’s career) having this juxtaposed with his revealing his illness seem like a story-perfect bittersweet moment of a man showing his talent won’t be slowed down but, since this is based on a real man, this ended up making the changes to history feel kinda gross and made the man’s real-life illness feel superfluous.  I almost feel as if his diagnosis wasn’t revealed and his fate was left to a simple text block before the credits hit and it almost off-handedly mentions HIV/AIDS would have been handling it better and less like the writers were trivializing his sickness in the name of drama.

Here Freddie is dressed all kinds of awesome and I am writing this in
pajama pants and a Marvel t-shirt.

Bohemian Rhapsody had quite the challenge ahead of itself.  Freddie Mercury was one-of-a-kind and fronted a band that has never been replicated or even remotely close to duplicated.  The group was larger-than-life in all aspects and to be able to capture that artistry is something only a Freddie Mercury of every possible field in the world of filmmaking could achieve.  It has some issues, I won’t deny that, but, for what it is, the feature is a very entertaining trip that illustrates (with some creative liberties) a band like no other rise and a man that rock and roll will never see again come to prominence and bless the world with his voice.
