![]() Anyway, he obviously does a convincing job to portray the amazing guitarist. I still don’t accept that Gwilym Lee portrayed Brian May – he looks so much like the real deal in the film that I won’t accept that they didn’t just dye the real Brian May’s hair brown again. The other performances are stellar as well, although I would have enjoyed more time with the other band members on screen. ![]() I know there was some uproar online about the numerous factual inaccuracies in the film, but Bohemian Rhapsody is still one of the strongest films to walk out of 2018. It could have gone without a few fabrications, such as a breakup by the band. I liked that the movie focused on the band and how they developed, grew and thrived to become one of the greatest bands of all time. He deserved his Oscar, and he deserves all the praise being thrown his way for his work. I doubt anyone else could have given such a convincing performance. He switches seamlessly between the two sides of Mercury and seems truly lost in his performances on stage. The two sides of Mercury is explored – his crazy media and onstage persona and him as a loner and intensely private. Malek has always embraced oddball roles with vigor and has no trouble taking on a human legend full of eccentricity like Mercury. Let’s focus a few seconds on the performance that made this film – Rami Malek’s portrayal of Freddie Mercury. It simply needs a spot on this blog because even though I never got around to posting a top 10 films for 2018, this would have ranked high up. I went to see this in cinema in December and never got around to reviewing it. Plot: The story of the legendary rock band Queen and lead singer Freddie Mercury, leading up to their famous performance at Live Aid (1985)
