Poll: How was Freddie depicted in the Queen movie?

I think he did perform on stage very good as Freddie but in the early Freddie years he did look a bit fake,

To me Maleks depiction of early Freddie is about 50% Mick Jagger, 30% Austin Powers, 10% Mr Bean and 10% Freddie.

Basically the result is a goofy, slightly dim-witted guy who bumbles his way through a vacuous and irresponsible life.

In real life Freddie oozed charisma and wit. He had this almost intangible presence, like the Mona Lisa-- it was an almost mystical experience to watch him, and none of that comes across from Malek's performance.

There is an interview with all four of them from about 76 I think, and the interviewer basically seems to only want to hear Freddie's responses. Whenever Brian interjects with some response the interview seems bored and thrusts the microphone towards Freddie to ask him yet another question. The envy on Brian's face is palpable.

i'd suggest you go back and look at the early stuff - Rainbow, SSOR, Liar, KYA, KQ promos and TOTP. Rami nailed early Freddie.

link please. with the timelines indicating this.

Brenski, the video is called "Queen interview Perth 1976" it's on YouTube. Watch the whole thing, and notice also how the cameraman loves Freddie and pretty much ignores the rest of the band.

he doesn't ignore the rest of the band. and anyhow, Freddie was front man so and interviewers will gravitate to a front man. this is no different with Jagger, Dickinson, Elliot and others.


i'll give you one thing: you imagination is fertile beyond belief.
how are you getting on with proving 9/11 never happened?

I never said he ignored the the rest if the band. I said the cameraman seemed to love Freddie (count how long and how often Freddie is in the frame alone compared to Brian). Also notice how much more intersted the interviewer seems to be in Freddie compared to the rest. In fact he seems more intersted in Roger and John than in Brian.

Of course he's not going to ignore the rest of the band -- that would be downright rude.

Yes Freddie had that charisma to make anyone who interviewed him seem magnetic.
I cannot understand anyone wanting to know more about Fred than the others after all Freddie was the most interesting of the four.

so Freddie had a mystical power to make other people more attractive? how exactly, does that work?

my head is still melting from this one. so you are stating a contradictory reason for an interviewer NOT wanting to talk to Fred? bizarre.

I didnt say Freddie had the mystical power to make other people more attractive, where did that come from then?
Second part of your asks, yeah i made a little mistake there it should have said :

"I CAN understand anyone wanting to know more about Freddie than the others after all he was the most interesting of the four"

Sorry for the confusion there, me in a rush earlier !

read your post again (see below). your first statement clearly implies Freddie made other people magnetic. - that in itself is one hell of a superpower.

what i was saying there was Freddie was a magnetic character and people were attracted by that quality he had.
The other band members never had that sort of attraction.

no. that's ^ what you wanted to say. but it's definitely NOT what you actually said.

Well you get the idea no nit picking please !

there won't be any nit-picking if sentences make sense.
and...if someone tells you your statement doesn't make sense - and you still can't see it, then check it again.
and when you do realise your mistake hold your hands up, instead of accusing people of nit-picking.

Hey Mr big head ive already apologised
You are on Queenzone not in a prison,
