The movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" was released in my country, which made Queen really popular in China. The friends around me also went to the cinema to brush up on rock and roll feelings. The circle of friends and Weibo were temporarily dominated by Queen. For a while, I felt that Queen had more fans than Wu Yifan, and the theater chain also put a lot of thought into marketing the film. When the famous guitarist Long Long watched the film, the theater gave him a light stick. Long Long said, I watched it Rock music, watch rock music without a light stick.
It's been nearly a month since the movie was released, and Queen's hot wind has finally been blown. As a person who loves music who doesn't like to be hot, I just want to talk about Queen, talk about this movie, and talk about Freddie Mercury that is not in this movie. .
Queen has far-reaching significance for Chinese rock music fans. I have been obsessed with rock music since the turn of the century. Compared with now, music fans in that era had very few channels to listen to songs. There are very few records every year, and the information everyone gets is often through magazines or radio.
The few magazines and radio stations that reported on Western music often recommended top-tier singers and bands, so the music fans who began to listen to rock music in that era basically listened to the same songs. Two music fans who like listening to Western rock music Chat, at least three of your five favorite bands are the same as his five favorite bands.
Queen is an enlightenment band that basically all music fans will listen to. The interesting thing is that rock music fans are proud of being a minority, but everyone listens to the most first-line and most dominant songs.
The most valuable thing about this movie is the degree of restoration, from Freddie Mercury's actions, dress, the restoration of the greatest human concert that lasted for more than 20 minutes, to many details, such as Adidas, Coke and so on.
It is this degree of restoration that makes music fans extremely happy, and I am also excited when I watch it, but this is just like watching a show. As a biopic, this film has huge flaws.
Then we look at Freddie Mercury that is not in this movie.
Freddie Mercury is Britain's greatest Asian star, a Parsi (Indo-Persian) who lived in India until the age of 17. His childhood is barely reflected in the film, and at the beginning of the film, Freddie Mercury has come to England.
Weakening of homosexual elements. Freddie Mercury is a homosexual, which is a very important and very dazzling element in his life acting career. The origin of the Queen's name is also because he is gay. In fact, Queen should be translated as Queen.
But the movie weakened this element, especially the domestic version also deleted this element. This deletion, in my opinion, is a serious damage to the film.
As a biopic, another problem with the film is the lack of space. It only talks about the end of the concert of the century in 1985, and the death of Freddie Mercury is also a legendary event in his life.
Of course, this involves AIDS, let's talk about the death of Freddie Mercury. Freddie Mercury must have been very concerned about his AIDS. After he was diagnosed with AIDS in 1987, he did not announce the truth to the world until November 23, 1991, the day before his death. But his long absence from Queen's activities and his emaciated face had long since betrayed his secrets.
FreddieMercury also recorded a legendary record, "madeinheaven", at a time when FreddieMercury clearly knew that he would be dying soon. This record was released in 1995, Freddie Mercury died in 1991, and it seems that it really came from the voice of heaven.
And most of the works on the record are indeed created and sung by Freddie Mercury. It is said that Freddie Mercury fainted due to physical exhaustion on the way to recording songs. Most of the songs in the album are about life and death when he knows that he will die soon. Views, such as "LetMeLive", "MyLifeHasBeenSaved", "TooMuchLoveWillKillYou" and other songs, you will think of what Freddie Mercury wants to express when you look at the song title.
My personal favorite is called "IWasBornToLoveYou".
These legendary story films are not involved, and the scope of the biopic films is not beyond the introduction of Wikipedia, so why should we watch such a biopic?
Even if the benefits brought by the film are very outstanding, it has really touched a wave of feelings, but it is a failure as a biopic.
why?
Although Freddie Mercury has not participated in religious activities for many years, his funeral was carried out in a Zoroastrian ceremony, which shows his family's identification with the Parsi religion and his own experience.
And his family members are still alive, which has a huge restriction on the director's script design. What can be filmed and what can't be filmed, in fact, what the director said does not count.
As a music fan, the biopic of Freddie Mercury that I personally want to see should start from his life in India, then travel to the UK, become a superstar, change in sexual orientation, love with multiple boyfriends, and finally die. It is the focus of the space, as well as the legendary work created in the ward.
I also like "Bohemian Rhapsody" as a musical I don't like "Bohemian Rhapsody" as a biopic.
Maybe in another 30 years, another director will remake this project, with less constraints, and can give us a more complete and stunning "Bohemian Rhapsody", a more three-dimensional and fuller Freddie Mercury .
