Bohemian Rhapsody #2

In May 2020, I watched Bohemian Rhapsody on DVD and cried. I have watched it at theaters five times and I was moved to tears every time I did it. I hope that I will do it on a big screen next time. It is the most touching movie that I have ever watched.

The movie tells the story about Freddie Mercury, the lead vocalist of the legendary rock band Queen, and his fellows.    

Rami Malek wore artificial tooth to act Freddie Mercury who had bucktooth, however, the real Mercury in the old images was less bucktoothed than Malek in the film. Although Mark Hamill had a hard time erasing the image of Luke Skywalker, yet Malek would not because his impression changes when he does not wear the artificial tooth. He won the Oscar for Best Actor in 2019. I preferred Viggo Mortensen who starred in Green Book but I think that the Egyptian American actor played well. The normal Malek looks like Masataka Kubota a little.

Freddie Mercury was arrogant, like some geniuses, but he easily felt lonesome, though he was Just tormented by the feeling of loneliness particular t a genius and a gay.

The other band members were all unique. Ben Hardy as Roger Taylor, the drummer of Queen, seemed to embody the phrase "a boy will be a boy." I like him. Gwilym Lee as Brian Taylor, the guitarist of Queen, was gentle, generous and reliable. He seemed to expostulate even when he got angry. He was mature. Joseph Mazzello as John Deacon, the bassist of Queen, looked foolish and innocent, which sometimes amused me.

As for Paul, one the band's managers, he was a dirty coward every time I saw him, though I did not know how true his stories were. Anyway, he was such a frienemy. I recently have realized that a guy is it around me. I have to be careful and keep my guard up not to become like Freddie. 

Speaking of the manager, Jim "Miami" Beach said in a meeting when he was still a lawyer for Queen that fortune favors the bold. I love the phrase.
