SnailyBoy Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I'd fact check a few of the 'new things', as the film took a few liberties with the timeline of events, for example, the HIV diagnosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Absolutely loved it. I read somewhere they shot more scenes, including ones relating to Freddie's HIV - to the song 'another one bites the dust', possibly a bit tasteless. Also, that Roger and Brian (who were involved with the production) didn't want the film to place too much emphasis on the HIV. For my money, they did a great job.

pattricia Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 It’s the only film Ive ever seen twice. The music is well placed throughout the film culminating with Live Aid at the end. The actor who plays Freddie struggles a bit with his false buck teeth, but I believe he may get an Oscar for this role. The actor who plays Brian May looks and acts exactly like him.

Good film but the copy I watched was poor. Must have been filmed in a cinema because I could see a little silhouette of a man.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattricia Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 This film was trashed by the critics but earned more money at the box office than any film this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Film critics are the biggest waste of time and space I have ever seen. They always seem to over analyse everything in an attempt to feed their own ego. This film just proves that they know nothing and their views are ignored by the "real" film viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 On 14/11/2018 at 14:32, SnailyBoy said: I'd fact check a few of the 'new things', as the film took a few liberties with the timeline of events, for example, the HIV diagnosis. Indeed, there will be people believing that Freddie bravely did the Live Aid concert having just been diagnosed with HIV when he wasn't diagnosed until two years later in 87.
