Not entirely Bohemian, not very Rhapsodic
Freddie Mercury’s music was rich, nuanced, empathetic. They had highs, lows, isolations and to that extent, reflected who he was as an artist. This enabled a lot of his fans across multiple generations to find meaning in his music, well past the generation to which he belonged. Bohemian Rhapsody , the movie that has been touted as his biopic shared none of the characteristics that belong to the man himself. I may be the only person right now who did not like Bohemian Rhapsody. I just did not. Well thats not entirely true. I liked parts of it. Those parts were all one hundred percent Freddie Mercury and nothing to do with the new content. And I have been apprehensive about telling anyone around me about this, given how passionate everyone seems to be about this film, so here I am. So why am I being such a killjoy? Let’s see. The script was terrible, there was no story-telling to say the least, and aside from Rami Malek/ Freddie Mercury’s character, every one else was just baffoo...
