BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

Citando una frase del film “Noi siamo leggenda”, possiamo dire che Bohemian Rhapsody è un film superbo sui Queen, diretto da Dexter Fletcher e Brian Singer con un cast di attori di talento come Ramy Malek e Mike Myers.

The film tells the story of the rock band’s first fifteen years, from their birth in 1976 to the LIVE AID, a charity concert held in LONDON in 1985.

The film celebrates also the story of the band’s frontmen: Freddie Mercury, an outlaw artist who became one of the most loved rock singer in the world. The film shows also his human side and his fragility too.

Don’t  stop me know, Radio GAGA,   Under pressure, We are the champions, these and other songs bring the audience into an magical atmosphere full of emotions. The first scenes of the film describes the story of Farouck, Freddie’s real name, a student who attends an Indian British college in London. He has a really  difficult relationship with his family, especially with his father. He also loves rock music and extravagant clothes. One night he meets, after watching them playing, Brian May, Roger Taylor and the bassist Jhon and offers himself to replace their singer. They performed for the first time in a club and the audience went crazy for their music. So they started performing around Great Britain, calling themselves THE QUEEN. Later the band  is discovered by a record company, THE EMY. At the same time Freddie fell in love with a girl, Mary, his greatest MUSE. The Queen started performing in America. In 1975 the band recorded the album A Night at Opera, but the executive Ray Foster refused to publish their six-minutes song Bohemian Rhapsody as a main single. However the song became a great success.  After a few years Freddie moved into a huge house with Paul, his new boyfriend. Then, he began to live without rules, organizing hot party and becoming a drug addict, surrounded by unfriendly persons. At that time he signed a solo contract, but soon he discovered his illness: THE AIDS and he felt ALONE. Convinced by Mary, he decided to apologize for his behaviour and play with his group again. They performed at LIVE AID, becoming a legend. The story is full of sentimentalism but the audience has appreciated this movie. It’ s full of good messages as the importance of friendship and the love for the music but the most important for us is: the freedom to express ourselves trough music. Lately the film received two golden globes . Ramy  Malek is an incredible performer. We ‘re waiting for the Oscar.Quoting some words from the film: ‘’We are all legends”, we can confirm that THE QUEEN  said the truth .
