dysan 02.11.2018 12:12 |
They have to leave because Live Aid. Mr Bulsara is preachy, but hugs Freddie. It means a lot |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:12 |
Freddie's sister is HOT |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:12 |
Mr Bulsara is won over and proud |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:12 |
They stick the TV on |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:13 |
Backstage now. Jim meets Mary and David (Mr Mary) |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:14 |
Band sits and discusses David |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:14 |
Here we go.... show time! |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:15 |
Lots of Geldof. It's like that spoof TV show a couple of months ago |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:15 |
Looks good. Except Rami's fucking face |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:15 |
Too much artificial tension built up |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:16 |
Roger is wrongly faced |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:16 |
Deacon is wrongly moving and faced |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:16 |
Cuts to Bulsara house. They are proud |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:17 |
Miming is wrong. Looks terrible. No spit or sweat |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:18 |
Lots of Rami close ups with a weird expression on his face. Supposedly to show he's AMAZING |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:18 |
Radio Gaga now. No reference to it in film previous. |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:19 |
Could've shown that it was a key gig component - and that now everyone is doing the clapping shows that the WORLD IS A QUEEN FAN RIGHT NOW |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:21 |
Eyes close ups are wrongly eyed by actor |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:21 |
Aye-oh bit. It's fun I guess. Everyone be like 'freddie so wacky' |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:22 |
Hammer To Fall Entire world not going 'What the fuck is this song?' Noticeable first heavily edited song. |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:23 |
These extended live bits are just filler. |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:24 |
Some good bits. It's OK. |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:24 |
WATC now |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:24 |
JIM <3s Freddie (I know this because movie love face) |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:25 |
BM looks unnecessarily laboured during guitar playing throughout film |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:26 |
It's all very well done - except Rami has obviously never seen a piano before |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:26 |
There are some bits where it's nearly by his chin |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:27 |
Note: Audience obviously VERY un-1985 |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:28 |
They should've just called the film 'Queen - Live Aid'. It's so heavily weighed on that to make it just a film about 'Queen' or Freddie is inaccurate. |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:28 |
Band leave the stage as DSMN starts |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:28 |
Real pictures over closing titles |
dysan 02.11.2018 12:31 |
OK so that's it. Massively flawed and weighed too heavily on Live Aid. Perhaps unavoidably. Would've been so much better if it was an unofficial film. As it is, looking back right now, my fandom of Queen is reduced significantly and I will need to try to remember why I liked them and not let this film cloud my love for the band. 6/10 from me, loses points for being a MASSIVE own goal by the band. Roll on Bohemian Rhapsody 2 !!!! Thanks for reading. |
Thrill Yeti 02.11.2018 13:08 |
Great thread! Terrible film. |
emrabt 02.11.2018 14:11 |
Freddie's mum was excellent casting. They managed to change John's hair while keeping Roger stuck in 1975. |
bucsateflon 02.11.2018 15:25 |
Prenter had a bigger screen time then all three band members combined... |
dysan 02.11.2018 16:32 |
Conclusion after reflection: Had the same quality of a TV series. And in all honesty should probably have been made as a 5 part 30 minutes thing. Perfect for Christmas schedules. The timing was very erratic. Again the serialisation would've worked this out - a recap starting every part. Part one ends with the first TOTPs - by the second one they are doing Bo Rhap and it's explained they have done 3 albums and lots of touring by then. It jumped to that with little evidence of struggle / time passing. The best bits were better than I'd hoped but they were extremely rare. Above the section where it goes like Trainspotting or Velvet Goldmine with headlines flying across the scene should've been more common in the film. Made it more cartoony to exaggerate effect. Like the second part of Day Of Our Lives when it goes all Flash Gordon and had 'the story so far'. It would've worked in the film. It was a fantasy rather than a documentary so should've been pushed to the Nth degree. A mad dream where Freddie is in Rhye with the fairies? FILM IT!!!! For a film obviously targeting the general public it assumed they'd know more than they probably did. ..which is a problem because then it is no better than the bad media they are always answering back against. Saying how amazing Freddie is / was and how guarded they were to protect him, and then to be compliant in THIS is a disgrace. BRIAN - FUCK YOU and your boohooing Scandal shit. ROGER - FUCK YOU and your boohooing Mr Murdoch shit. I had to put up with this shit since school defending you lot to haters and now you cash in on it. |

calm down is not that bad |
emrabt 02.11.2018 18:14 |
It'll be an interesting one to fan edit. |
dysan 02.11.2018 20:47 |
The film is not soooo bad. as a low budget fan film The context as an officially sanctioned document is hateful. |
Donna13 02.11.2018 21:36 |
I have really enjoyed the Queen concerts with Paul and Adam, and will go to see any future shows they do. I love Brian and Roger. And Brian has done so well stepping in as the real front man of those shows. I passed on seeing the WWRY musical because it didn’t seem like something I would really like - not my style, although I love plays and musicals. But this movie was to me like the excitement I felt about Queen when Freddie’s talent was still the focus, when he was still alive. I’m 56 so I was a teen in the 70’s. Emotionally, for me, the movie was very intense, feelings I haven’t had since when Freddie was alive. I know this forum is 99 percent guys who like to talk timelines, details of all sorts, but I wonder about the emotional response to this movie. To me it is their closest “Queen feeling” project post Freddie’s death. |
Donna13 02.11.2018 21:38 |
I enjoyed this commentary, by the way. Funny! |
dysan 02.11.2018 22:14 |
Thank you! Was a labour of love :) |
dysan 02.11.2018 22:33 |
Just read it back. Best QZ thread of 2018 award right? |
Thistle 03.11.2018 00:18 |
Great thread, plenty of laughs! |
coops 03.11.2018 01:49 |
I find it ironic that several reviews in the states criticize the film for not portraying Mercury the way Baron Cohen wanted to. They did not mention Cohen by name though. I am in my 60s and saw Queen live before most of the members in this forum were born and can’t help but think this film will disappoint me. Think I will just listen to the music and enjoy my memories instead. |
Saint Jiub 03.11.2018 04:23 |
Fastest read of a 14 page thread ever ... Very enjoyable read. I am curious about the movie, but am unsure if i can emotionally ignore Freddie being betrayed by the negative slanted portrayal seemingly authored by Brian and Roger. Paul Prenter seems to be a saint by comparison. I must repeat to myself ... "It's only a bloody movie. People get so excited about these things" |

My posts do suck so I guess there is that. |

^ Your posts do not suck in any way, whatsoever. I know you're joking, but I just thought I'd say it anyway :) |

Great thread, Dysan. Just as I imagined the movie in my head. Now I don't have to watch. LOL. I will watch it , I don't know exactly when, then I will have my impressions. But I know what movie I'm expecting to see. |
