I think I’ll pass. Heard they emphasized more of the homo stuff leading to AIDS gay stuff and not really the music. Plus National “Never Trump” Review..
Typical NR writing...infatuated with their own wordsmithing and using 1000 words to characterize what can be said in a dozen.
I didn’t know about his lifestyle, wouldn’t approve then or now, but I still want to see this movie. Queen music, like so much other classic rock, was just too imprinted in my teenage years for me not to be interested in the bands story.
Never understood thier appeal, but to each his own.
Pffft. Queen always sucked.
Formation and decline of Led Zeppelin with the frothing hatred of the critics would have made a better movie but none of them were flaming gay.
Queen made being a “Queen” a okay.
A vanguard 1970’s pop culture western world destroying “Tie-your-mother-down” moment.
Catchy rock was cool
But ultimately it is the devil’s tool.
- per David (bisexual) Bowie:
“Rock has always been the devils music. You cant convince me that it isnt.
Another story of a person with great artistic style and a not so moral personal life that was tragic as well.
That pattern either occurs allot among those with great artistic talent, compared to the general population, or we just see and hear about it more.
Saw this last night. I’d give it a 4 out of 5. Music obviously as good as ever...I was reasonably impressed with the story line of how it showed Mercury to be flamboyant, reckless and incredibly entertaining and a brilliant performer. That’s exactly who he was. (the actor who played him was fantastic btw)
Mercury had a powerful voice, and ‘Who Wants To Live Forever’ is one of those haunting songs you never forget, but I’d rather HEAR Mercury than look at him. Visually I find him icky.
