I finally got to see Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em> on Thanksgiving. I loved it. It was a fabulous movie.<\/p>\n

I’m not exactly a Queen “fan”. There’s plenty of their music I’ve never heard (proven to me by several songs played during the movie). But I enjoy the music of their I’ve heard, and I’ve watched several Queen\/Freddie Mercury documentaries. From those, I know that Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em> took some artistic license with history, but I suppose that’s to be expected.<\/p>\n

However, in my opinion, the movie did a great job of portraying the different sides and evolution of Freddie’s character.<\/p>\n

The best part of Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em> is undoubtedly the Live Aid performance. I had chills throughout the scene. My arm hair was quite literally standing on end the entire time.<\/p>\n

My feelings toward the movie may be unique or fairly normal, but I left the theater feeling inspired. I wanted to follow “movie Freddie’s” example of wearing what I like, rather than what I “should”. I wanted to pursue my ambitions, follow my passions, and just be myself, regardless of society’s feelings and expectations.<\/p>\n
