It really sucks how John Deacon, who played a huge role in Queen in general for the foundation, to his song writing and have his legacy be remembered through this biopic film. The devastation after Freddie's death to the point where he hasn't been seen in public in the press, social media, etc in over 29 years. It's crazy if you ask me.

One Queen song was likely written for Americans, as Freddy felt bad that so many people in American were shot down every day in America. Every day, atleast one man, young or old, in America calls his mom to day he just killed someone and may be arrested soon. Awesome singing by Fred Mercury, especially his old song "Bohemian Rhapsody." The song is more meaningful than I thought. I just read the lyrics. It's a moving song with a story. The person in the song just kills someone, and is calling his beloved mom to inform her. In the song, the killer is saying he is sorry to his mom, as he may possibly be arrested and that his life may essentially be over. After killing someone, the people on the victims side wishes the killer were never born, just like in the lyrics. Only the mom may visit his in jail.

The film is a Brian May film. It's about Brian ... Brian's envy and desire for excellence show in him. ..distributes Estonian. You have to watch the movie through Brian's eyes. This film is about Brian being an incompatible teasing man who doesn’t really like Freddy, but he has to put up with it because his fantastic talent means the Queen’s success. Brian still benefits from this today. It's a vile lie movie all over. Freddie was not an immigrant, he was British from birth. And his privacy is only his! Freddie Mercury was a genius, can't be measured by ordinary standards!

[@xanderrancap5458]

it's not the same without Freddie and John
