Went to the cinema to see the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody". Before, I was hesitant to watch it because I saw the deletion, because I thought it would be better not to import it than to delete it, which is too disrespectful to the work. But I think some have been deleted by them, and I can't delete others myself. The deletion of a movie is different from the deletion of a book. It can only be deleted, but cannot change the picture itself. Of course, you can also make a part of it without signal and give the naked girl a little black dress. But it is limited after all. Unlike the deletion of text, almost every shot left is real. But I don't like the fact that there are fictional characters and plots in the movie, especially for them to break up the band at one point.
I feel that the plot of the movie is a bit loose, there are too many contradictions in the band members, and there are too few plots about creation. In addition, a person who was originally arrogant was too sentimental, making the first half of the rhythm slow and lack of passion. Later, he returned to the team after learning that he was ill, and asked everyone not to pity him. When he started preparing for the benefit performance, he said that he would devote all his time to music, but he felt that that was the real him. Although the material selection and rhythm are not in line with my imagination, as long as the fans watch it, they will be moved. I have seen someone say that at the end of the studio all the audience sang along with him, and I was moved to tears. I can also feel the passion.
I prefer Peter Freestone's biography "Who Wants to Live Forever" over the movie. The author is emotional and passionate, but not sensational. The writing is very real and sincere. He does not need to be sensational to have feelings, and he does not need to be exaggerated to have passion. He also respects the facts and does not shy away from some sensitive topics, because he accepts and agrees with everything about him and does not think those things will affect his image. Although he is only a personal assistant, he is someone who understands music and appreciates his music. After watching the movie, I was a little indignant that he didn't have any content at all, but after seeing him as a consultant to the film crew, I thought it should be his will not to appear in the film.
When Jim Beach read out the list of "Save Your Lives" benefit concerts, it was so exciting to hear the names of so many great singers and bands, wishing you could travel back in time. The last 15 minutes of the live restoration of the stage was really tear-jerking. Some songs were just like and cheered up when I listened to them before, but this time I was moved to tears. The appeal of the scene, coupled with the rendering of the plot, made people cry. I finally felt that even if a lot of this movie was deleted, I still have to come to the theater to watch it, even if I have seen the video of their real-life singing.
In addition, Mary Austin in the film is really beautiful and charming. To have such a lifelong friend was quite fortunate for either of them. He wrote Love of My Life for her, and it seems like every concert has to sing it. No matter how many boyfriends he has, he is the love of his life. He left her most of his possessions and the "Garden Lodge", a mansion, and made a last wish that Mary would be buried in a place known only to her. Probably those many men are just passing by, pursuing the stimulation of desire, only with her can they have spiritual communication. After all, spiritual resonance will make people feel true love and not empty.
What makes me particularly happy is that his cats appeared shortly after the movie, and I saw them many times later, and each of them was so beautiful and cute. They have their own room in the garden shed, and he talks to the cat on the phone every time he tours, and turns on the TV to let the cat watch him sing. He also wrote a song specifically for his cat Delilah, called Delilah. He sings in the song: Oh my oh my oh my / You're irresistible / You make me smile When / I'm just about to cry / You bring me hope / You make me laugh-and I like it. I really like it!
The film ends at the Live Aid concert stage, and no longer shows Freddie's struggle with the disease. This arrangement was negotiated by Queen members, related parties and the filmmaker. This choice is very good, he belongs to the stage, and what he wants to be remembered is the way he sings on the stage, not the sickness, he does not need mercy. This ending also reflects the meaning of his songs The Show Must Go On, Don't Stop Me Now, Who Wants To Live Forever. All regrets and sorrows will be converted into passion and joy to appreciate his songs, and therefore love music and life.
