The big question Bohemian Rhapsody left me with was “How would someone wholly unfamiliar with Queen’s music feel about this movie?” More importantly, does such a person exist? I genuinely wonder what an unbiased perspective on Bohemian Rhapsody might look like, but we may never know because of how huge and widespread their music is.

[@alienswillcomeAWC]

Maybe not in the U.S. but internationally. But even here there might be kids or even preteens who haven’t heard Queen’s music (or have heard one song or the other but can’t attach the name to it / don’t have as strong a bond with the artist as older generations do). But yeah, that’s an important question.

[@DrPonk]

I mean, I guess it was kinda cool to learn about the people, but their conflicts felt hella forced, the romance plot was a giant mess from top to bottom, EVERYTHING happened in a mad rush, and there was also some music here and there (which was also hard to enjoy because of how it was presented). I really only saw this movie for Rami, and boy did he deliver. I definitely could have waited for it to show up on Netflix though, and I don’t think I’ll ever be watching it again.

[@lcav5622]

I’ve never been interested in queen or their music, so seeing this story for the first time was interesting.

Honestly, I went into the movie not knowing Queen’s history and even with the fabricated issues I still felt that their stardom and fame was practically handed to them. Did they even go through any hardships during their career? Besides clearly Freddy’s sickness and death. I mean I’m glad that they got their lucky breaks but I love to see people go through much adversity and rise victorious out of it.

[@salamilidaintgonfit7576]

I completely agree. As a bisexual, it’s the absolute worst to see characters that are gay, or just “chose not to use labels.” Obviously, both of those are okay, but like....representation please

[@austaneousc5802]

While I hate to recall the "gay man playing bisexual trope," Freddie was under a lot of media scrutiny about his sexuality at a time where homosexuality was still a stigma, so was probably easier for him to simply say he was bisexual. If you can't make it work with the woman you called "the love of your life," and then later committ to a monogamous relationship with another man, you're probably gay. I've had intense emotional connections with women before, but I can't honestly say I'm bisexual because I know I couldn't make work in the same way Freddie couldn't with his ex-wife.

[@manuam98]

The thing about Freddie's ex girlfriend is not that problematic because she was a very important person in his life and stayed by his side until he was dead. I do though have an issue with the oversimplification of the characters of the male lovers. One is like "Hello my name is AIDS and I'm bad" and the other "I'm Mr. Rehabilitation & Stable Life". And they pretend like wild party life was draining for him when in fact it was the lifestyle he loved. I assume that this was conservative overcompensation by both the PC machine behind the movie and maybe Queen's other members which wanted to romanticise their real life story.

[@TackyRackyComixNEO]

It's honestly a shame how Freddie was portrayed by the screenplay. Rami's performance only does so much to help the movie when the version of Freddie he's forced to play is so wrong. I can't help but wonder if Freddie Mercury would hate this movie if he were still alive to see it.

[@lolalovw6689]

I think Freddies boyfriends in the movies have such a basic character is because Freddie was a very private person. like he would show the outside little to nothing of his personal life. And Roger and Brian probably couldn´t help too much because they probably didnt know them too well either. But thats just my guess

[@ImJustSayin2014]

To be fair, Mary was *extremely* important to Mercury’s life. He literally left her his home and fortune even though he was still in relationship with Jim. While he was living even after he came out he consistently called her the only person in the world he trusted and considered a friend. She wasn’t just some chick he dated until he realized he was gay and then that was that. I agree more time could’ve been spent on the Jim Hutton relationship, but I don’t think the movie was out of line spending so much time on Mary. And I wasn’t surprised at all that it got nominated. Biopics about famous, well loved, influential people are typical Oscar bait. Your desire for the nominated film to have exceptional editing and storytelling is noble, but not really grounded in reality. Plenty of movies that were unexceptional on that front have been nominated in the past. I liked BoRhap quite a bit.

[@nekomaster1000]

Freddie was Bi, not Gay.... And Freddie was happier when he was with Mary, that's no secret. He left his money, royalty rights, etc to her.

I agree with all of your statements- I just misinterpreted your original comment. They would have had to create an entirely new movie in order to incorporate those elements and have them make sense.

[@Anastasia-vp9ye]

I generally agree with your opinion but the reason Freddie's relationship with Mary was showcased a lot more was because it was most likely the most important relationship in his life, not romantically but in other aspects. He considered her the one person he could always trust even years after their breakup (he stated that himself in interviews), and she was a beloved friend of his. Their time together also happened to have taken place during Queen's rise to fame, which makes it completely logical that she would be shown much more than Jim Hutton who was also incredibly important to Freddie, but was present for the last years of his life. The movie cut off after 1985, and did not display the 6 years ('85-'91) that he and Freddie were really together, which completely makes sense in terms of the timeline. Trying to make this sound like some sort of homophobic plot hole is just not fair, so feel free to poke at the movie's actual shitty aspects, but this just isn't one of them.

Echo5 Entertainment It was for makeup and hairstyling actually. And I'm ngl, it deserved it. Killer Croc's makeup as well as the makeup on the putty things were legitimately good, even if the character of Killer Croc was shit. The makeup on the actor for El Diablo was pretty good too. The movie sucks donkey balls, don't get me wrong, but I understand it winning an Oscar. The reason it won over Star Trek Beyond was because Star Trek Beyond used prosthetics, while the makeup on Killer Croc was applied by hand, and was harder to do. Besides, this is not the first time a bad film won an Oscar. Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, The Wolfman, The Golden Compass, etc. won an Oscar too.

[@duckywinks]

The thing your not really taking into account is that, while critics didn’t really like it, audiences went CRAZY for it. It’s one of the highest grossing films of the year domestically and worldwide. Every person I’ve talked to who’s seen it loves it. It struck just the right nerve with the general populace and they’re supporting it like crazy. Now think about this, what has the academy been struggling with the past few years? Nobody wants to watch the Oscars. Film fans like us will watch no matter what (although I may skip out this year because who the fuck cuts cinematography and editing?), but the public doesn’t care enough to see everything live, in large part because most of the time, nobody has seen any of the nominees. Hell, even the academy usually doesn’t. So what’s a sure fire way to fix that? Nominate something people want to root for. Even if you take out Black Panther and Bo Rhap, the lowest grossing out of the nominees this year is The Favorite, and it’s still made like $40 million. People have actually seen many of the nominees this year, and the hope is that people will tune in to see if their favorite will will. And many people’s favorite (if the $700 million this movie has made is any indication), is Bo Rhap.

[@nerktwin]

That makes a lot of sense. Good point.

[@coloneljak42_]

But here's the thing: There were plenty of other films last year that critics said was alright but audiences adored, most notably Infinity War, which made a shit-ton more money than Bohemian Rhapsody and yet only has an Oscar nom for effects. So even if this was an attempt to give the general public a feel-up to get them to watch, picking Bohemian Rhapsody still seems like a weird choice.

[@duckywinks]

ColonelJak42 Musical biopics are a common sight at the Oscars, so it make sense for the academy to get behind it. As for Infinity War, the academy was already throwing their full support behind Black Panther, and as we all know, there can’t possibly be more than one exceptional superhero movie a year.

[@AkameGaKillfan777]

[@lolalovw6689]

Like the comedy was pretty good when it had its jokes like Roger, Brian, and Johns argument which lead to some iconic moments. Rami is overall a fantastic actor and theirs things I like about it. Its one of my favorite movies from 2018 and theirs probably far better but it was something I saw because i like the band. Also i want to add on to the complaint about the "Toxic Relationship" portion, I believe it was showed to show theirs some people who will trap you into a relationship and make you think they love u when really its toxic and abusive.

as an avid user of tumblr, i can confirm that after a couple months, a majority of the people who were big fans of bohemian rhapsody stopped being so generous with their praise of it and started to realize how problematic a lot of the portrayals of Freddie's relationships and such were. considering a large part of the fandom was grsm (gender romantic sexual minorities), it got really hard for people to overlook the demonization of Freddie's homosexualism. i think a large part of the reason the movie was so well-accepted was simply because it was Queen and Queen is such a big name that people would have loved almost anything they put out (it also helps that people really like Rami Malek and found the other actors to be hot and Joe Mazzello's willingness to interact with fans on instagram and such). but once the initial sense of awe faded away, people became much more critical of the movie (myself included) because come on, it's 2019, can we stop demonizing gay relationships for the sake of the conservatives who you expect to watch the movie?

Long ago we lived in the crazy noisy bizarre Negaverse combined into one. Life was practically peaceful in many parts of the crazy noisy bizarre negaverse. One fateful day, the Smithy Gang had made a man known as Retep their general. He proved his power by killing over 1 billion versions of Juggernaut, Doomsday, Darkseid and Thanos. This turn of events shook the entire world.... With no one, whether they be a hero or villain even willing to challenge the Smithy Gang. They easily took over the Crazy Noisy Bizarre Negaverse. After Smithy declared himself the ruler of the Crazy Noisy Bizarre Negaverse. He and the rest of his goons stole all the hentai. The loss of the hentai drove many to fall into despair. They knew they wouldn't be able to stop the Smithy Gang. This all was to Junko's delight.. Many years later...... Bill Cipher and Aku started a rebellion due to their hentai and weed being taken away. They were holding it for their friends. The war against Retep's forces lasted for centuries. Many had perished to fight for the freedom of the crazy noisy bizarre negaverse. During the final battle something happened. It was the work of... Gumball Waterson, Izuku Midoriya, Atsuko Kagari, Ruby Rose, Ogilvie Maurice 'Sonic' Hedgehog, Bowser Jr., Meatwad, Darwin Waterson, Steven Universe, Zim, Ash Ketchum, Rowley Jefferson, Greg Heffley, Ryuko Matoi, Frisk, Crash Bandicoot, Stewie Griffin, Chris Griffin, Cuphead, Hat Kid, Doom Slayer, Banjo, Kazooie, Nathan Adams, Takato Matsuki, Guilmon, Butters Stotch, Ren Amamiya, Bart Simpson, and Spongebob Squarepants. They all planned to fuse into an omnipotent being. The being, able to defeat Retep had struggled though However..... None of them could take into account that there was a reason Smithy was Retep's boss. They all defused under the idea that they didn't need to be omnipotent to fight Smithy and could easily take him on. They didn't know a technique that Smithy learned would end the war in his favor. One called.... the Asspull. Smithy proceeded to knockout the warriors. Deeming them unworthy of death he channeled Manbearpig as he prepared the universe ending technique. After the warriors failed to stop Smithy's asspull. The Crazy Noisy Bizarre Negaverse exploded into many universes resetting everything. Now.... The multiverse starts to collapse as various universes merge together. The reincartions of the warriors will have to team up to survive and fight assholes How would these characters react if it was true?
