My post was erased....Bottom line, the movie is full of lies...They didn't need made up Drama like The Aids Diagnosis right before live Aid or Freddie begging for his Job back. The real story was far more Interesting and enough drama on It's own..what I wanted In the film? Not the sex, Drugs, though I do think some of that should be shown..Just show what happened... He had a feeling he had the Illness before Live Aid...got Diagnosed In 1987, sang with that big lady, like Deacon said...Got back with Queen In 1989, with failing health They bonded like never before and created some of their best songs for Innuendo...then show him coughing towards the end, right back to Live Aid for a feel good ending... The show Must Go On playing for the closing credits...They could also show the Paparazzi harassing Freddie, his bandmates, Family, friends protecting him...The drama is in the real story, no need to make stuff up...

Mike Hunt: Brian was always jealous of Freddie in everything he did, and only now May thinks Queen is his band even though poor Roger is still on drums its May that preaches what happens and when. Mercury always dismissed many of Brian's ideas in the recording studios and fierce rows would happen in who would have the last say. "Smile" was Mays idea, then other tasteless projects like Dappy, Five, Robbie Williams, The coke adverts, Adam Lambert,
all of those things may have been rejected by Freddie! This new film i would give 4 out of 10.

thanks for all these impressions - am in the US where the advance screening is not until Halloween. I'll still watch the movie but might be cringing all throughout

Absolutely I've read like 5 bios on Freddie. An awesome movie is waiting to be made! His life is fascinating. Granted it would be hard to make one film to do it justice but from everything I've seen and heard "BR" is a missed opportunity and a disservice to Freddie. I'm now reading some comments claiming it's borderline homophobic the way his gay tendencies are portrayed as Freddie behaving badly. I haven't seen the film yet (and will when I can watch it for free- not going to support this thing with my $$- got tired of rewarding Brian and Roger for mediocrity) but it seems to me the more analytical a person the less they enjoy it. I kinda envy the easily impressed. I know that's a smug thing to say but it's likely true.

That wasn't satire - it was nonsense.
And a last resort for someone who didn't have an actual argument in response.
Again - carry on.

If you take more than 20 minutes to write a post, follow these directions so that you don't end up with a blank post.
The guy who runs this forum won't fix the bug, so that's the workaround.

Yes it was. You're too thick to get it.

Clearly this indicates that you don't know what satire is. Pretending to be a moron who doesn't know how to spell Freddie's name isn't satire.
Either way - the fact that you're fixated on this instead of responding to my last post to you indicates who has the correct facts here. So enjoy your "satire".

More character assassination from the keyboard warrior.
And look who needed to bring up Adam Lambert for the thousandth time when nobody asked them to.
You are a waste of sperm.

The part in which Freddie has a meeting to get back with teh band IS historically accurate, that meetig happened, and had Mr Bad Guy been massive, who here thinks Freddie wouldn't have gone off touring and promoting it... Also for the first time it's confirmed it was two album deal, something that was rumoured beofre but never really confirmed officially after the ablum bombed.
The band were massively pissed that size of the deal Freddie got that's well documented, and yes they may well have split . . . . . .[/QUOTE]
Funny that I posted in this forum in the past that that or something similar is what happened and I was shot down by certain members. Now that it's in the film, a film people wanted the nitty gritty to be exposed in, some still don't believe this happened.[/QUOTE]
100% bang on, both of you.

As Saint Juib wrote: [QUOTE]
This Paul Prenter intervention legend was actually was an intervention to prevent Freddie from leaving Queen. By issuing the so-called Paul Prenter ultimatum, Queen was essentially "begging" Freddie to stay, but the movie says the exact opposite.
Yes, the Prenter thing I wrote it because Peter Freestone told me in a interview.
Specific words: " Paul Prenter was pushing Freddie to break away from Queen and the others in the band were worried that Paul would succeed in getting Freddie away. They were not worried for themselves, but for their great friend, Freddie, who they thought was being led to a world that he would be totally reliant on Paul. The meeting was set up in a neutral place that gave Freddie the breathing space that he did not have with Paul around, and he was able to see what was happening".
Said that, Freddie was adult to know what he was doing, not being so obvious to say Prenter was a mentalist... [/QUOTE]
The only person who could tell his side of the story is either dead (Freddie) or prevented from doing that (Phoebe). I suspect the contracts signed between each parties (movie makers / RT, BM, Phoebe) even prevents them or to be precise forbids them from saying anything that could in any way hurt the movie.
As one person on this forum said, BM and RT are no saints and the process of making MIH proved it. If this film is a way to get even for them then... I pity them.
Has there been no comment from Freddie's estate since the premiere of the movie ?

around around we go.....A few thinks I'll like too add...this isn't a competition Freddie vs Brian and Roger...not sure why every discussion needs fighting about who was better...also, something that bugs me is, why is The flaws of Mercury so Important more so than the others?. Roger had 2 or 3 solo albums by 1985 that flopped...If those albums took off would he have left Queen? why is that never mentioned? but Mercury putting out a dance album is such a big deal?... Brian has stated In Interviews that he lost his cool numerous times In the studio, stormed out and said I'm not coming back, but always did. why is that not a big deal? They all had problems and thought about leaving the band at different times...Is this Just proof, that while all great and obviously better together than apart Mercury was the star of the group...or else, Instead of Freddie and his personal flaws they would make a Movie based around Brian cheating on his wife.

I guess you don't know the meaning of "tragic irony" either let alone satire. Clearly *you* don't comprehend what satire is and by the way my post was more than misspelling Freddie's name. Oh wait. I guess we have to add a lack of reading comprehension or maybe reading itself to your misfortune.
Pity,
Enjoy your tragically ironic thickness, Surreal Wizzer....

Hey I'm sure all them personal flaws and leaving Queen tantrums are evenly illuminated...just not in this farce of a biopic.

Poor Roger lol. Love how you paint him as this pathetic guy who hasn't got a say in anything and just has to tag along behind Brian. You can't seriously think that's the case, why would he have any less say in things? Just because they're doing things you don't like you have to find a reason for it and that reason clearly has to be Brian!!
