BoRhap Movie Scenes

What do you think are the best scenes in the movie?

The end credits!

I'm trying to remember up until what point I was still thinking 'THIS IS GREAT'. Probably the first 8 minutes or so.

Shudder

F-"what do you think?" R-"Gay" F-Not this darling, the house" And who wants to live forever parts are my favourites

Love this scene to bits! Why do I get emotional in this part hahahah Chris | junk hauling

Marlamir, Roger actually says “gayer” as in “more gay”. Gayer is isn’t really a word. That’s part of what makes it funny.

Dysan I lasted a bit longer than you. Although I pretty quickly went from “Great” to “OK, not great, but still fun” to “Sheesh this is contrived Hollywood BS”. In fact the “lonely Freddie” in the scene up thread might have been the moment I thought that. I honestly don’t remember.

And I confess to having watched the opening sequence more than once on youtube.

@Galileo oh, i saw the scene twice and never heard the r at the end of it. Thanks for make it clear now

@galilao I re-read my Commentary thread and remembered it all quite vividly. But I had a similar crushing of hope that you did. Times may vary :)

Same here. Felt like "oh, cool! This really happened!"

Then it became at the end: "That REALLY happened uh? .... what a piece of crap. They really made it. "

And I was genuinely into it for that whole beginning part. It felt good.

I enjoyed it thoroughly with a couple of minor annoyances all the way up to the "lonely Freddie calls Mary" scene. I hated that part. Freddie could have been lonely at times but it should have been depicted in a more introspective way and not so flagrantly obvious. Also, visually, that scene reeks of TV drama.
The movie picks back up again when Freddie reaches out to Jim Beach, the band getting back together, his (timing-inaccurate but poignant) AIDS diagnosis scene and the rehearsals for Live Aid... but the movie does have a big slump in the middle with lonely Freddie in Munich.
So much more could have been made in that middle part. Make it so that Freddie did have friends during those days and maybe have Mack play a role rather than just a silent, unidentified "yes-man" engineer. It is the lack of success that should have brought him back, rather than the "I'm so lost" melodrama that we got.
