    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Queen's set at Live Aid is widely regarded as one of the best live performances in rock-and-roll history. In a 2005 Channel Four poll of over 60 artists, journalists and music industry executives, Queen's Live Aid (1985) performance was named 'The World's Greatest-Ever Live Performance.'
    • Goofs
      The film indicates that the band's manager Jim Beach was trying to get them onto the list of acts to play the Wembley Live Aid concert. In reality, Bob Geldof had held a press conference in early 1985 to announce the concert and named Queen as one of the acts who had agreed to play. Geldof had not spoken to any of the acts beforehand so this was the first any of them had heard about it. However as nobody wanted to look like the party pooper and back out, almost all the acts Geldof name-checked played at the concert, including the band Dire Straits (who had sold out a concert at nearby Wembley Arena on the night of the Live Aid concert so had to play two gigs in one day).

      Freddie Mercury: [Quoting Zoroaster] Good thoughts, good words, good deeds. Just like you taught me, papa.

      [Bomi embraces Freddie]

    • Crazy credits

    Bohemian Rhapsody - Before the film my wife said to me ...
    Biopic.

    Charts the rise to fame of one of the greatest rock bands ever.

    Touches on Freddie Mercury's (his stage name) background, then how he met the band and became their front man, the development of their unique sound, their meteoric rise to fame, and the key moments leading to Band Aid.

    Briefly (probably too briefly) touches on Freddie's AIDS condition.

    The film starts at the same moment as it ends with Freddie arriving on (Live Aid) stage, the last 15 minutes is their whole Live Aid performance.

    Before the film my wife said to me ... "I'm not a fan, I didn't like their music, and I'm not looking forward to this" After the film my wife said to me ... "I really enjoyed that, think I'm a fan"

    So ... this film is good, whether you think you're a fan or not.

    FAQ12

    • Is this movie suitable for a (fairly open-minded) 12-year-old girl but sensitive to profanity? Thanks.
    • I saw the movie but was trying remember what Freddie said right near the end when they were getting ready to play Live Aid, and he told them he had aids but he said something about he didnt want them to be sad that he was a performer and thats what he would do? Does anyone remember?
    • Are all the songs lip sync? Does Malik sing any of the songs?
