Bohemian Rhapsody celebrated the band Queen, their music, and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury, who defied convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers ever.
I had the opportunity to see Bohemian Rhapsody last night and let me say I'm so glad I did. It was an excellent movie, especially if you are a fan of their music. While I can't say that I was ever a huge fan of Queen, there were quite a few of their songs that I absolutely loved and Bohemian Rhapsody was one of them. Rami Malek did an excellent job of portraying Freddie Mercury.
My friend Lola said she was shocked that she liked the movie so much. I found the song on youtube and have never heard it before. and only recognize the Queen name not the songs. I saw they have the movie on youtube and it is 5.99 to watch it. did not know they were into that now
ReplyDeleteI liked some of their music but not all of it - I would like to see this movie.
ReplyDeleteSame here, I don't like all their songs but there are quite a few that I do like
DeleteIsn't it great?? I came away feeling sorry for today's kids because of the crappy music that they have to listen to. Such talent these guys had!
ReplyDeleteYep, you can't beat the music from back in the day.
DeleteI think it's one of those things where Freddie Mercury is more popular in death than he ever was in life. Same goes for Queen's music. I mean, like you Ann there were songs that I liked but they were by no means earth-shatteringly wonderful. At least not at the time. I can't wait for the movie about Mick Jagger's life. Hopefully tho he'll live yet for a long long time. Love, Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat could very well be true.
DeleteI'm glad you had a great time seeing the movie. It's good to do something fun now and then.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day off, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of doggie scritches to Gibbs. ♥♥♥
Yes, it sure is
DeleteOne of my favorites this year.
ReplyDeleteWould you believe the only one I've seen in a really long time.
DeleteI missed it, we kept talking about going and then it slipped by at the movies, we seldom go anymore but we did see I Can Only Imagine and then I saw that one is on Netflix. If you liked this one, I'm sure I will also, I will ask for it on DVD at my library. Glad you mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteToo bad you missed it, do get it though, I'm sure you'll like it
DeleteIt should have been picture of the year! I saw Green Book (the winner) and I can say B R was snubbed by Hollywood!
ReplyDeleteI would agree with that
DeleteI went to see 'Queen' live way back in the 70's at the Brighton Centre, he was amazing. I still miss him so much, his voice was so unique. Haven't seen the film yet and am a bit worried that I will be disappointed.

I never saw them live but I imagine it was an impressive show
DeleteI'm so glad you went and had a good time! I love it when you have some fun.
ReplyDeleteMe too
DeleteI agree! This is a great movie! Loved that Freddie loved kitties too!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great movie. I will have to see about watching that one. Have a great week Ann.
ReplyDeleteIt was very enjoyable
DeleteHAHA.....cut and paste? I hate when I do things like that on my blog. I have not seen the movie but i have heard nothing but great things about it.....and I LOVE QUEEN.
ReplyDeleteLOL, yeah.I noticed that but it was after almost everyone had already visited so I just left it. I need to pay more attention before I hit publish
DeleteMy daughter said it was a good movie...
ReplyDeleteI am always happy to have a movie recommendation and plan to check this one out. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI know! I was not necessarily a fan but OMG I loved the movie so much. I'm so glad you saw it. Rami was amazing and won best actor for the Academy Award.
