    Storyline

    Edit
    Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury. Freddie defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound. They reach unparalleled success, but in an unexpected turn Freddie, surrounded by darker influences, shuns Queen in pursuit of his solo career. Having suffered greatly without the collaboration of Queen, Freddie manages to reunite with his bandmates just in time for Live Aid. While bravely facing a recent AIDS diagnosis, Freddie leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. Queen cements a legacy that continues to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day. —Twentieth Century Fox

    Did you know

    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).
    • Quotes

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

      [Bomi embraces Freddie]

    • Crazy credits
      The 20th Century Fox fanfare is performed in a rock style (composed by Queen members Brian May on guitar and Roger Taylor on drums).

    Makes you realise what a loss Freddie was
    This movie was a brilliant portrayal of the mixed up life, and massive talent that was Mercury ... and that is in no way meant to diminish the other fabulous musicians who made up this wonderful band. Whilst Freddie's life and death are quite well documented, his inner turmoil is not - this movie opens this up for all to see, and highlights actions and individuals who had a large influence on his fragile life, both good and horrendously bad. If only he could have been happy with the knowledge that he had one of the best singing voices, if not THE best, that ever fronted a rock band. Rami Malek does a wonderful job of portraying him, and in so many ways has captured his mannerisms to a tee. Loved it, and listening to the music in an IMAX auditorium was brilliant.

    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?
