I saw Bohemian Rhapsody last night…

I’m still feeling a lot but I’ll do my best at sharing my thoughts.

SPOILERS AHEAD SO DO NOT READ AFTER THIS.

- I was so happy that it started with “Somebody to Love”. I had no shame in singing along.

- I need to know if Rami actually sang at the beginning of the film after Roger made a joke about his teeth (which by the way, shame on you Roger. I love you though).

- I don’t understand why people were upset. Everything he was, was acknowledged. His ethnicity, his heritage, his sexuality. All of it. They respected him. I loved that.

- I love that they acknowledge what they all did before they became Queen. My boys are smart & educated.

- I love that they still kept the secret that is the meaning of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. They could’ve easily revealed it in the movie but they respected Freddie by not saying anything. Also Rami did amazing in the scene where Freddie’s writing it.

- The “I’m In Love With My Car” shaming was fucking hilarious.

- GWILYM LEE AS BRIAN MAY THOUGH. He is literally Brian.

- The live performance scenes were fucking delightful. So realistic. It made me feel like I was there. Since I’ll never get that experience, I’m glad they did that.

- Bisexual was said in a movie, which is awesome.

- THE CATS

- I actually liked that they made it a point that Mary Austin was a big part of Freddie’s life.

- Mike Myers’ cameo was so fucking great. As a fan of Wayne’s World & Queen, it made me so happy. The reference was everything.

- It was interesting the way they introduced Jim Hutton. I thought they’d stay true to what actually happened but I still liked it. Grateful that they acknowledged Jim at all.

- I DIED WHEN THEY RECREATED A BIT OF “I WANT TO BREAK FREE” IT’S MY FAVORITE SONG/VIDEO

- I’m glad that they showed the not so happy things about Freddie. Because no one is perfect & I’m glad that they didn’t gloss over it.

- FREDDIE SAID MY FAVORITE QUOTE OF ALL TIME IN THE FILM & I DIED

- I loved the chemistry between the guys. You could tell they had gotten close, like Queen did.

- RAMI MALEK. Wow. He went all in on this role. So honest & respectful. Just excellent.

- All The guys did excellent. I saw my boys & forgot at times they were actors.

- The “Another One Bites The Dust” scene was intense & then really funny. John’s just chilling with his bass while there’s a fight happening. I loved that scene so much.

- Hell, I loved all the scenes between the band. They were so good.

- LIVE AID. I’m so happy that they started & ended with it.

- I sang along to everything during the whole movie & I gave no fucks because you can’t help but sing these songs. Especially during the Live Aid scene. Freddie always has his power to control a crowd.

- For the first time ever, “We Are the Champions” made me cry. I was sobbing. And when “Don’t Stop Me Now” started, I sobbed harder.

- I stayed through the credits because I was a wreck & also “The Show Must Go On”.

This movie to me, was everything I hoped it would be. It was honest, respectful & just fun. I give it 100%. Fuck reviews. If you love Queen, you’ll love it. If you’re not a Queen fan, you’ll have a great time.
