Movie Review (English)
This particular Rhapsody had me from the
word Go. From the first scene, as the auditorium filled with the melodramatic
music that only Queen could come up with, I began singing. Growing up, Queen
was always on the top five of my most favourite rock bands.
So, I was quite apprehensive when I heard
about this movie and I read a few reviews which were not full of praises.
Anyway, anything to do with Queen, I needed to be in on it. And was I glad to
have watched this wonderfully directed and superbly enacted movie!!
To be able to decide which aspect of
Freddie Mercury to highlight, which years to look into and at the same time highlight
the growth of this remarkable band was the work of some genius. To end the movie on the Live Aid concert note – was a well thought out
move - the piece de resistance for Queen as far as performance goes. But of
course, some of their best music was composed after this concert.
Thank you, Rami Malek (actor), Brian Singer
(Director) and Anthony McCarten (Screenplay writer) for resurrecting Freddie and
Queen so brilliantly. The slick edit got the movie going at a fast pace just
apt for depicting Queen.
I wanted to come out feeling good about Freddie and
not dive into the darker world that he hid so well from his fans and I am glad
I saw Freddie at his best!
Queen continues to Rock its fans making us feel like Champions!!
