Whether or not Queen fans, the Oscar-winning film "Bohemian Rhapsody" is worth watching. Of course, it is not recommended to go to the theater to watch the Tianchao version. Although the cut part is not the core and essence of the film, after all, any form of castration is castration. Anyway, I cannot accept it.
As a rock youth over 30, the status of Queen in the heart is far from comparable to that of a big movie, but because the lead singer of the band died young in 1991, I never had the opportunity to appreciate their scene in this life, so I still want to thank the last part of the movie for the nearly 20-minute complete re-enactment of the Live Aid concert, which gave us a group of young people a chance to realize their dreams.
But if I were to choose the Queen’s most classic album, I would never choose "A Night At The Opera" which contains "Bohemian Rhapsody". In my mind, "Made In Heaven", which was released only 4 years after the death of lead singer Freddie Mercury, is the supreme classic. Because in the last batch of recordings, the self-expression of salvation emotions on LiveAid has been further sublimated, more splendid, more gorgeous, and a bit more detached than the previous Queens.
I think that is the final release of a great singer before his death.
If you feel uncomfortable after watching the movie, you must find this record to experience it.
In the re-enactment of the Live Aid Conferred God concert, everyone will not overlook the row of paper cups on the Freddie Mercury piano. Although the Pepsi logo is obvious, a few of them are obviously beer.
Drinking during a rock band’s performance is basically a fixed action, and Queen’s is no exception. Even an important performance such as Live Aid has to come, not to mention it during normal performances.
In the video data available so far, the Queen will make a little beer to drink during most of the performances. Such as Heineken, Carlsberg or other refreshing Rager. It should be considered that drinking Lager during the performance will not burden the voice too much.
But in fact, it is no exception to choose lagers to drink in the background.
In the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody," Freddie once held Budweiser in the rehearsal after the old agent was fired.
At the time of the 40th anniversary of the release of "Bohemian Rhapsody" in 2015, a winery from the Czech Republic took advantage of its geographical advantages (generally believed that the Bohemian region is mainly in the current Czech Republic) directly launched a The product named "Bohemian Lager" pays tribute to the band. In addition to the name, the logo of this beer also used Freddie Mercury's work during his studies in the university art department, and it was also a classic design used by the Queen for a long time.
At that time, 6 bottles of Bohemian Lagers sold for 12 Euros, which was not cheap, and I don’t know if this Czech label has been authorized by the band. In short, now the official website of the winery has hung up, so that foreign media still don’t forget to post a mocking article: “It’s okay, just like pirated music, you can probably find a way to download the beer illegally. .
But when there is no performance, the Queen's choice is obviously not beer. The band divided the day into three periods, from morning to night, the drinks became more and more rushing.
According to the later assistant Phoebe Freestone, the lead singer Freddie had three favorite drinks: tea, champagne and vodka with tonic water .
Although it doesn't sound like rock-and-roll, according to the assistant's memory, although he didn't grow up in the UK as a child, Freddie still had a soft spot for tea, so much so that he had to drink a little every morning when he got up. The most commonly consumed by the band is Twinings' Earl Grey, usually with some milk and sugar, and often drink from the bedside until after lunch.
In the movie of the band’s breakfast tea, you can also see a lot of milk and sugar.
Starting in the afternoon, it's time to drink. Until dinner, it is Champagne time, and the requirements are very specific. There are no more than two types: Louis Roederer Cristal or Moët & Chandon.
Similarly, in the scene where Freddie and Mary had a conversation in the air, Freddie invited Mary to a toast, and what he drank was actually Princess Louis Crystal Champagne.
When Freddie went to the radio station to promote "Bohemian Rhapsody", although he could not see the brand of the wine, it was not difficult to guess from the appearance of the glass and bottle that the two of them were drinking champagne.
And at night, you have to drink something strong. Phoebe Freestone's memoir originally wrote "choice for evenings was Stolichnaya vodka and Schweppes tonic with ice", which is the Soviet red card vodka with ice and Yiquan tonic water, which can be understood as a simpler and more direct version of Gin and Tonic.
This point has also been faithfully restored in the movie.
Although the film "Bohemian Rhapsody" is not uniform in terms of word of mouth, it is undeniable that today, when the lead singer of the band has passed away for nearly 30 years, the film has brought this great band back to life on the screen again and let more Of people learned about the Queen’s legend and the tragic life of the lead singer. As a result, various topics about the band have also been rediscovered in Europe and the United States, including these three "official queen drinks" compiled by the band assistant. In some bars in Europe and the United States, the same perfect reproduction of "" has appeared. Bohemian Drink Set".
The legend will never end, and will only continue to live in people's hearts in various forms. There are movies besides music, and wine besides movies. We try to understand a person’s life through little details, perhaps just to live more like someone else, we use movies and other information to understand what a person drinks, perhaps just to hold it when the music sounds at a certain moment We know that we are not alone.
How about it, try it yourself at home, remember, don’t forget to listen to "Made In Heaven" .
Rock is not dead.
