Finally watched "Bohemian Rhapsody" on the IMAX big screen! In the last 20 minutes, my scalp really exploded, my body trembling, and the palms of my clenched hands were full of sweat-these 20 minutes are the perfect combination of video, music, and performance, and the strongest embodiment of the spirit of immortal rock and roll, yes. The most shining depiction of Queen and Freddie! It can be selected as the most shocking and touching performance in music movies!
To be honest, I don't know much about Queens, I only heard the most popular ones, not a fan. But I am also a deep rock music fan, and I have always had a soft spot for British bands: such as Iron Maiden (forever favorite!), Radiohead, Depeche Mode, Lush, Oasis and so on. Movies about rock music are also genres that I have always been very interested in, such as "Almost Fame" which can almost enter my Top 25, Oliver Stone's "The Gate", and the pseudo-documentary "Here is a Spinal Puncture" (Long live rock ), "Sid and Nancy", "Velvet Gold Mine", "Edge of Rebellion", "Broken Love Rankings", "Young and Crazy" and so on... I like them very much.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" is actually quite a traditional filming method, stringing some key events in the history of the character's fame with music. This method of shooting often makes the characters and stories seem a bit superficial, and cannot penetrate into the characters and the innermost and most essential aspects of the rock band like "Almost Fame". The story of Freddie's genius will make the audience feel like "how did it happen?"-it's really hard for us to follow in his footsteps and understand his every move. However, the editing of this film is very smart, which makes the film always very dynamic and energetic. The use of music is also very good-the ending part is a very accurate summary of Freddie's life with the Queen's song, it is really perfect!
It is no longer possible to simply evaluate "Bohemian Rhapsody" as a movie. Dreams, rock music, the 70s and 80s, freedom, rebellion, identity, gender and sex, pop culture, etc. have all been integrated. It was an era where greatness and chaos coexist. According to Haruki Murakami’s novels, at that time, “the world was much simpler. Efforts should be rewarded, promises should be fulfilled, and beauty should be retained.” But all youth All will eventually go away, just as the aroma will eventually dissipate, and the morning dew will evaporate on the grass. Elvis, a symbol of the times, died of narcotics; James Dean, a symbol of the times, died in a car accident, and Freddie, a symbol of the times, died. Before I really knew the Queen...
After watching the movie, I still believe: Rock is not dead! Great music will last forever! And this is enough.
