This was the “sing along” version of Bohemian Rhapsody. It was an interesting movie because I didn’t really know that much about the band, apart from a few of their iconic songs. For quite a few of the sing-along portions, I wasn’t able to because I just didn’t know the song. However, there were some famous one: We Will Rock You, Bohemian Rhapsody, We are the Champions, Another One Bites the Dust.
Rami Malek played Freddy Mercury, the mercurial lead singer. I recognized him, but couldn’t place him until I found in Wikipedia that he had been in I Robot of course. I should have remembered those big eyes! Other Wikipedia stuff highlighted some of the inaccuracies, the main one being that the band never actually broke up, although that was a big plot point in the movie. I guess it was necessary to bring some drama, the prodigal son returning to his family, the band.
Altogether, an enjoyable movie.
