Finally Got Around To It

[nailit]

Seeing Bohemian Rhapsody that is (yesterday)
I know theres been other OPs on here about it (Ive read them...) but:
Why do some people....in this case a minority it would appear...feel the need to rubbish something that others are finding great enjoyment in?
There was a DJ recently on local radio who absolutely rubbished the film. It was tosh, awful, unrealistic etc. And yet everyone I know who has seen the film thoroughly enjoyed it, as did I.
There were a few artistic liberties taken but there had to be in order to fit someone's entire life into a 2hr film. Has there ever been a biopic that is 100% accurate??

Some of these critics need to get a life of there own. Anyway, fantastic film, great performance from Rami Malek, superb music and the end set (Live Aid) was accurate even down to the Pepsi cups on Mercury's piano.

Thoroughly recommended.....

Thanks Theland, reverting to type I see. I have striven to be tolerant and polite to you however vile and offensive your opinions, but you don't want that do you? You want people to be outraged by your opinions so you can feel morally or religiously superior to them, telling people are depraved or tormented when it is you yourself that are those things. It is a wise man that holds a mirror up to himself and acknowledges his own faults and weaknesses, and a wiser man who tires to address those. Your God would be appalled that you have missed so much of his message. It's not 'Thespian Land', it's being mature enough to understand that not everyone is like you and that that's alright, they don't have to be.

Keep replying, however politely and it won't stop Kval - don't feed the fire.x

Give us a tune.

Just sent Leonard over for you Mamy- Master Song ;-) x

Rahh, on my way.

[Theland]

Kcal - With the GREATEST of respect, my families' values and those of my community are not congruent to yours.
That's all.
However, please accept my sincere apologies if I have been offensive. Not my intention.

Whilst I haven't got a problem with homophobic people. I do get bored with said people repeating time and time again they are homophobic.

That to me is the problem.

[Theland]

Talbot - I am not homophobic. One of my sons(30) is in a long term monogamous homosexual relationship.
My problem is with the promiscuity.
I confess to not understanding my sons sexual preference, but love has conquered all.
I continue to learn.

[-Talbot-]

Is he black too?

[Theland]

Black? No my sons partner was, and so is my daughter in law, ethnic Sudanese. Lovely girl, a nurse.

[Theland]

Sorry, my sons partners father was. Correction there.

Thanks for the invite, Togo but I actually can't make it.
I was jesting.
I was planning to go 'home' some time in November but will not now be going.

[nailit]

Thanks for the invite from me as well Togo but, like Tills, cant make it either unfortunately, shame as I would have loved to have met up with you.

A big thanks to Theland for ruining yet another thread with your bigotry and preaching.

I don't think that's quite fair. While some people on here might be comfortable with his 'hedonistic' lifestyle, plenty of people, the majority perhaps, are not.
I haven't seen the film but from what I've read that side of his character was brushed under the carpet. By the producers, presumably for commercial reasons. ( Caran's 12yr old granddaughters wouldn't have been allowed to go/been let in, I'm guessing}
By his band mates, who had a say in the script, for their own reasons.
That was one of the reasons Sacha Baron Cohen, who was going to play him, left the project. ( Another reason, apparently, was Freddie was going to die halfway through the original film, and the second half be about a post Freddie Queen. Doubt even die-hard Queen fans would have been up for that.)
Again I'm guessing, but I doubt many Queen fans (a pretty square bunch, ;)) approved of or were interested in that side of his story.
I think they might have included his death in the film, which I believe they didn't. What do the Queen fans think?
