Chris 2,172 Posted May 3, 2021 Man, I don't know how or why I went so long without watching this, but I finally did last night and shame on me for not doing so sooner: Rami Malek did one hell of a job capturing Mercury's swagger and unmatched stage presence. The only thing that I found distracting was the orthodontia in which they tried to match Mercury's overbite. I felt like it was a little overdone, and you knew you were looking at Malek. But strangely enough later in the movie, when his hair was shorter, he really pulled it off. Maybe I was used to seeing him ( the actor ) or maybe it was the shorter hair. Who knows. Definitely a must watch, especially for music fans. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 2,172 Posted May 27, 2021 Last night we watched the actual footage of Queen's set from Live Aid. Man, it's amazing to watch and knowing full well Freddie didn't feel well. Not only that, he went out there and destroyed and all the while knew his days were numbered. I found this video, which shows side by side footage of the set and the movie adaptation. It's amazing how detailed the movie performance was, right down to when Freddie makes a quick knob turn or something in the beginning.
