In 1990, Freddie Mercury's body was so weak that he could barely walk, and he was still recording the last album of his life.
When recording the last song on the album, guitarist Brian worried that Mercury was too weak to sing the high notes in the song. In the recording studio, Mercury only replied "I'll fucking do it, darling", and then barked his teeth to a large glass of vodka, completing the most perfect recording in the band's history.
Coincidentally (necessarily), this song is called "The Show Must Go On". Knowing that time is running out, Mercury never wants to put an end to the music of himself and the band.
A year later, the lead singer called a curtain call, but the band's performance continues to this day.
It is a pity that this section was not made in the movie. The story stopped abruptly after the end of the LIVE AID song in 1985, which inevitably gave passers-by an illusion, as if Mercury threw the most dazzling self on that stage and failed to pick it up again. AIDS was lost to the people on the stage. He then immediately defeated him in reality.
This is not the case. After that performance, Queen released three more albums and made a record-breaking global tour. It was until the day before his death that Mercury admitted to the public that he had AIDS.
Another regret in this movie is a natural disaster and has nothing to do with manpower: absolutely no one can copy the miracle of Freddie Mercury.
Rami Malek has done well enough. He has imitated Mercury from dies to armpit hair, so good that it has been considered by critics to be worthy of an Oscar nomination next year.
However, leaving aside the ability to sing (which is really not comparable), Freddie in the movie still lacks... the energy. This kind of "power" can be masculine and oppressive, or the transgender coquettishness, Malek's too big eyes are not as full of spirit as Mercury's.
Even if these requirements are difficult for normal people to challenge, is Malek's die a bit too big?
Mercury's looks and voice can't be replicated, nor can they be in the era they belonged to.
In the 1970s and 1980s, whether it was Africa that had just gained independence from the colonial empire or the homosexuality that had just been removed from the list of mental illnesses, young people on both sides of the Atlantic still embraced the newly emerging sympathy. It was a beautiful era in which good intentions had not yet spread and charity had not been hijacked.
In today's world, cruel rationality is gradually resurgence, and the ideals of young rock and roll are becoming increasingly elusive, and even rock music has lost its mainstream status in the center of the stage. It's like the rotation of political parties in the United States. It's hard to say whether it's progress or regression, but that era is gone.
I just think that, whether you want to admit it or not, the Lengtouqing band that was accidentally gathered in the same tavern is more capable of raising the heart of a young man than the talented youth group that the street scouts have painstakingly dug out.
But some things can be copied.
This is a movie that, no matter how much regret, can not only be worth the price but also earn tears by relying on the last 20 minutes of the god-level performance.
If you have watched that ancestral ultra-low-definition 4:3 LIVE AID live video before watching the movie, you will definitely be shocked to aphasia by the last 20 minutes of this movie.
The biggest success and most valuable contribution of this movie is the detailed reduction of the molecular level of 20 minutes of the most vigorous and gorgeous in the history of rock and roll.
From the beginning of the game, Malek imitated every action of Mercury at the ctrl+v level, including every punch and grin; all the objects visible to the naked eye in the scene, as small as the few cups of Coke on the piano lid Compared with beer (I compared the placement and liquid level) and the messy power cords on the stage, the entire Wembley Stadium is exactly the same as in the video.
Most importantly, the film successfully restored the momentum of the scene in 1985. Thanks to technological progress, we were finally able to jump out of the fixed positions above and below the stage, let the camera dive down from above the stadium, skimmed over the heads of 70,000 spectators, and then focused on Mercury's waving arms. The rock legend is within reach, the mountain whistling and the tsunami are in front of you, making things that once needed to be brain-filled become reality. This is the most beautiful part of the whole movie.
To me, this feeling is like playing the Super Mario in the VR3D HD reset version, or the holographic projection version of Lego blocks controlled by the mind. Finally, I don’t have to remember the years of the water, but just go straight to the blue.
Finally, I have to spit out the question. At the beginning (in the 19th century), Hong Kong Chinese who had never seen the world, translated the word "Queen" for granted into "Queen", so Hong Kong's Queen's Road and Queen's Statue Square were created, and this error was continued by inertia. In the 1980s, the "Queen's Band" was finally relegated to the "Queen's Band", and Long Live was downgraded to a thousand years old, killing the entire Chinese society.
Coquettish and high-minded like Freddie Mercury, how could he be willing to be a harem master, he is obviously the one who wants to fix the world, and the Queen in his mouth can only be the queen, not the queen.
