Bohemian Rhapsody | Based on a True Story
I’m not impressed with Bohemian Rhapsody. It mangles the story just as badly as biopics of the early 2000s, to the point of travesty. Like the basic characterization of Freddie Mercury is wrong, and only reinforces a bunch of myths about the man. Heck, there was a movie, called Walk Hard, that satirizes this. But Hollywood will never learn. Just because there’s cool music playing doesn’t make it a good movie. There’s all the elements of a good story here, but Hollywood has to be willing to tell it.
