What ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ gets wrong about Queen

Bohemian Rhapsody now rules the roost as the top movie in America, as every true Queen fan could have told you it would. (Spoilers ahead for those who haven’t seen it.)
And while that’s great for the band’s legacy — proof once again that its music has universal appeal — it also means that a surprising amount of untruths are now enshrined as the biography best known to the moviegoing public.
Before you dismiss that as a necessary evil of storytelling, consider this: When you dig into the band’s actual history, the true version of their tale is, in almost every instance, far more dramatically interesting. Queen was larger than life, and certainly larger than the standard-issue music biopic cliches that populate Bohemian Rhapsody. Read more…

Critics love Rami Malek, but think ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ is an underwhelming mess

“Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go.”
Early reviews reveal critics aren’t exactly asking for an encore after watching the highly anticipated Queen biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody.
While the extended musical sequences dazzled critics, the consensus is that it lacks the bite of its source material — which kind of makes sense considering its rocky production history.
The original star of the film, Sacha Baron Cohen, quit after reporting creative differences with the Bohemian Rhapsody team and controversy surrounding director Bryan Singer largely disturbed filming, leading to his late-stage replacement. Read more…

You can’t mistake that drum beat. You know when to clap, when to stomp. But do you know how Queen’s “We Will Rock You” was actually written?
In a new clip from upcoming Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, Rami Malek as legendary frontman Freddie Mercury is introduced to the song by Gwilym Lee as iconic guitarist Brian May.
“I wanna give the audience a song they can perform,” says Lee as May. “Imagine… thousands of people doing this in unison.”
“What’s the lyric?” asks Malek as Mercury.
Then, we get a little sneak peek into one of the most prolific songs in music history, fronted by an electrifying Malek. Read more…

Adverts are largely terrible and annoying. Anyone who’s seen the work of John Lewis, though — particularly their Christmas ads — will know that they’re often the exception that proves the rule.
Well anyway, they’ve done it again. In the two-and-a-half minute advert above, bored parents at a school talent show are suddenly wowed by a ridiculously impressive cover of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
Give all those children an A+. And spare a thought for the human John Lewis, who’s most likely being inundated with tweets yet again. Read more…
