Like the actual stage,
It is unexpected. Who would have guessed that a movie about the story of a British rock band would renew all the scores of previous musical films? It is marvelous. It is a completely different pattern than the blockbuster, where the box office ranks low every time a new film is released, and the cycle of returning to the top again, bringing in millions of people within a week or two and gradually moving away from the top.
So, "Bohemian Rhapsody" (director Brian Singer) syndrome is a phenomenon and not a symptom. The need for contemporary audiences, the future of the theater, and the direction of music production. You went too far ahead? Maybe. But it is clear that the Bohemian Rhapsody fever, which lasted more than 30 days since its release, is still in progress.
◇ Easy-to-use scenarios
Despite the full expectation that Queen's films would stimulate the nostalgia of the elderly, it was because of the somewhat obvious development of the "Bohemian Rhapsody" that it had not been able to capture such a big hit in the first place. It was a clever choice to put the 'Live Aid' performance at the beginning and end. But it is leaning on the other cliches. For example, Freddy the Mercury have just dismantled a band member of 'Smile', members and away from the case while to find an event or Freddie solo album that just one team and then sang an impromptu singing in front of Brian May and Roger Taylor et dramatic fun But it is nothing but an episode that reveals its rudeness.
Especially, from the crisis of queen disintegration which can be called the biggest outward conflict in the movie, Freddie's mind apologizes to the members, and the process of standing on the stage of Live Aid reminds me of 1980's melodrama like the time background. It is a scene where Mary who goes to Munich informs about the Live Aid performance and disappears immediately after asking for a performance, and Freddie is fired in a pouring rain immediately after that, and the manager is fired. While preparing for the performance, I feel that the setting of proclaiming to the member that I am an AIDS patient is also excessive, and the conversation like "Freddie, you are a legend" and "we are legend" is a scene and a fence.
Bohemian Rhapsody is not as sophisticated in general because Freddie's own way of communicating his illness to his colleagues is similar to the way information is transmitted through dialogue. In the news that the Queen member was receiving a phone call from Mary and Freddie's family while he was receiving a phone call from EMI showing interest in Queen, he noticed that another member came in and immediately caught up with the US tour. This is the reason why surprises and joyful emotions are not fully captured in the scene. In this situation, the audience is deprived of the timing to exert tension.
Great movies are sleeping, delivering information as much as possible with images, music and sound effects, and finally using the dialogue. In such a case, "Bohemian Rhapsody" is noticeable.
◇ sympathy and mourning for Freddie Mercury
Therefore, the horsepower of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is in Quinn's music. However, audiences express a lot of empathy and sympathy for the long lead singer Freddie Mercury. Therefore, it is necessary to examine how his special life has been shaped.
The film first shows Freddie, an internationally worshiping singer, in discriminating airport baggage workers. This is in addition to reborn as "Freddie Mercury" by abandoning his real name in Zanzibar as "Farok Bull Sarah". The end of the boldly castration of the past, where he eventually succeeds and reconciles with his father, provides a sort of catharsis. In fact, it seems that homosexuality, rather than trying to deny his racial roots, had an antipathy to the Passover culture and religion, which is regarded as a devil worship beyond sin. Freddie did not return home and he was not welcomed home afterwards, but the lyrics of his hit song "Seven Seas of Rhye," released in 1974, are based on fantasy stories made with his sister There is a lot of speculation that it was a song written in remembrance of a time at home.
The original loneliness, which is a striking artist and sexual minority, is also expressed in movies. Freddie has been sent to a boarding school in India at the age of seven and has spent his childhood alone. Even though she has been living with Mary, she continues to depend on her, and invites many people to open up a lively party, so that his loneliness is transmitted.
Here, too, confusion over gender identity is overlaid. It is true that Mary, who began as a lover and lived as a real wife for seven years, and remained a friend for life, said to him, "I am a gay." But he loved both women and men, because of the relationship even ve got to be more accurate shifting seeing as bisexual ( 'Freddie Mercury' Da Vinci Books) Anyway, what gyeolpipgam of FIG unfilled Freddie in, but multiple identities afraid suffered him It is also the impetus for queen to become the best band by adding passion and energy to him who is born of natural talent. Even if the audience has a different view of his private life, the artist who made the world happy at the end of the film has no choice but to die at the age of 45.
◇ 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and Live Aid
'Bohemian Rhapsody' is a single from Quinn's 1975 album 'A Night at the Opera', and Freddie Mercury is a bundle of three songs. At this time, when members were playing songs like crazy, Freddie made songs with opera parts in his wish. The ODA started with sweet acapella contains a piano, guitar, bass, drum opera appeared, and this majestic six minutes the song is not only received a great love to the public challenge jeokyigodo nature playful of the group called the Queen that the Hard Rock It is a good song.
Music was his debut at the time of the Queen's difficult to build one of the provisions geulraemrok various genres such as hard rock, progressive rock, for reasons that have firm style awarded the critics of the outer surface, it was just because Quinn was a music of their own. After the successful second album, the third album, 'Bohemian Rhapsody' was the song that reached the ultimate goal of creating Queen's identity.
The song was recorded in a very special way at the time, using 24 analog track machines to add multiple parts at once, thus creating the effects of Brian, Roger, Freddys, and 160 manic choirs. The name of Scaramouche, Galileo, Figaro, etc., non-LG Bob appeared in the lyrics are convincing in view of the iconic character naetneunde self a lot of questions, connected with the major or the nature of each of the four members since then.

Not only the record industry people, but Freddie's best friend Elton John, even Quinn's bassist John Deacon, expressed his concern, but this single came in first place in the UK for nine weeks and in January 1976, . In addition, Freddie Mercury was re-released after his death in 1991, and he was ranked first for five weeks. The title of the movie is 'Bohemian Rhapsody' among many of Queen's hits, because it is a song that has been loved over time.
This song was also the first song of the Live Aid performance, which the movie predicts from the first scene to the Provincial Government. The a cappella section is omitted, but as soon as the piano melody begins, the 70,000 crowd that filled the stadium are enthusiastic and start singing along. It's hard not to feel thrill in this scene, even if it's not a Queen's fan. In order to make the Live Aid performances more realistic and cinematic, the camera moves dynamically on the stage, catches the reaction of the crowd and inserts it in the middle. Thanks to Lamy Malek, who replicated Freddy Mercury's movements and facial expressions precisely, this god brings surprise and joy to the show at the Wembley Stadium on July 13, 1985, from various angles.
Queen's audience-engaging performances, leading to "Radio Ga Ga" and "We are the Champion", overwhelmed other controversial performers, and the film captured the atmosphere of the hot scene. Bob Geldof, who directed the show, recalls, "The whole world was the perfect stage for him."
Other performances in the movie are spectacular, but 15 minutes of Live Aid Shin has given a presence to special screenings such as Screen X and Screen MX, caused a boom in singling talks, spreading N-car viewing, Blowing. The diversification of distribution channels is a welcome addition to the theatrical industry, which is rigid. Just as the 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' (Jim Sherman, 1975) danced in the theater and mass-produced the enthusiastic singers, 'Bohemian Rhapsody' may become a permanent cultural content in some way.
In his lifetime, Freddie Mercury said in an interview. "I want people to think of me as someone who can sing well and perform well on stage. I hope that people will have a good time watching Quinn's performance and then return with a sigh of excitement. I want to be a pure escapism like going to a good movie. "('Freddie Mercury', Moojin Tree) This wind is completely done in 2018, just as it was in 1985.
