I'm Havin' a Good Time

     Bohemian Rhapsody from beginning to end was an experience defining the vibrant and defining music the band Queen had made. Bringing the audience on a nostalgic trip back to the era of rock bands and disco. Showing the creations of iconic songs, like Bohemian Rhapsody, Don't Stop Me Now, We Will Rock You, and Another Bites the Dust. Now I'm not usually a fan of these type of movies that follow the path of a music groups starting, I found myself really enjoying the film and the way it was made. Using exquisite story telling as well as having great camera work as well as choosing the right actors to play the band members as well. This definitely deserves the Good Good rank, great quality and fun to hear those songs being made and coming out all over again.

     

     The band Queen was founded because the head singer of the drummer Roger Taylor and the guitarists Brian May were confronted by the would be lead singer Freddie Mercury. It starts from there and they record their first song which was a hit and because of it did their first ever tour in America. The movie then follows the crew/band named Queen. Continuing to make new innovative music that will change the way that people think of bands. I believe the lock in was when the the band was meeting with a new manager and 'Freddie Mercury' and his group decide to name the band Queen, because it doesn't make sense and neither does their band. It had no real meaning, meaning that they could venture off in their music which they did continuously over and over and over again. They did an excellent job showing off each and every actor in the movie and choosing the actors to play these iconic people, it was almost like watching the starting of the band all over again. With the movie being a retelling of the lives of Queen in general there's obviously some discrepancies however, the story telling was still exceptional, coming from someone who doesn't like these types of movies. Also the use of the older filters during scenes as well as wide shot framing while they were performing in concerts to make the audience feel as if they're either watching through a T.V from back then or even experiencing the concert for themselves, the music, actors, the framing, the lighting made the music feel real and provoked feelings as well as emotions. One example is when Freddie realizes he has AIDS, and notices everything is going downhill since he decided to he wanted to go solo. There was a large event called Live Aid which was a concert in Wembley Stadium to help starving kids in Africa. The last concert they do and play all their songs was really doleful yet enchanting watching them knowing Freddie's condition and he still decided to live his life doing what he loved, performing. 

     All in all I believe that Bohemian Rhapsody was a great and fun film. Anyone can watch it and it doesn't matter if you don't enjoy these types of movies. The director and the actors do an amazing job of making sure that you're enticed. Excellent story telling which holds the audience from start to the very end. Even though movies like this was made, it really stands out from the norm, making it a success in my eyes. I heavily recommend to those who haven't watched the movie yet to watch this one-of-a-kind movie. I even thought I was wasting time watching this but ended up satisfied and happy with my decision. From the get go it's amazing hits and great music for all audiences. Mostly for the people who've grown up listening to their music.
