Is this the real life, or just death on 2 legs?


Just saw the Queen film 'Bohemian Rhapsody' last night.
Truly a great movie if you are a Queen fan. 
Its a must see. IMHO.

Shame Queen never played Bohemian Rhapsody all the way through live, as far as I know. I wonder why they didn't just hire the singers able to do the 'operatic' bit when they did gigs......biggest disappointment for me. 
No Freddie, no Queen. Simple as...
My opinion was changing from "they did this really well" to "this is a boring movie"  a number of times. I give the main character a credit for being a great impersonator. He does it better than I do Elvis.

Did anyone think that the same actor should do a movie about Mick Jagger? There were moments I thought he was trying to do just that. One live scene just after "Edinburgh 1976" is written on the screen, the man is Mick Jagger's twin.
I liked the movie but can appreciate it even more after watching this split screen video of the real Live Aid performance vs the movie scene.  At least as far as Live Aid accuracy, they nailed it.

p.s. My wife was at Live Aid in London and was absolutely beside herself watching those scenes in the movie.  Good times!
