The paws REport: Bohemian Rhapsody

I have to admit: I didn't really know much about Queen before I saw this movie.  I guess I did but I didn't know that I did.  I don't think I ever saw them perform, but I knew their music - We are the Champions; We will Rock you! and of course Bohemian Rhapsody.  There were many many more but I didn't know anything!  So when I went to see this I was almost a blank slate.  And because of that, the minor liberties that the screen writer and director with the timing of parts of Freddie Mercury's life didn't matter to me at all.  It was all new to me. I didn't even see LIVE AID, but boy was I glad to see it now.  Wow! The guy who plays Freddie was amazing.  Rami Malik is captivating in his look, his acting, and evidently some of his singing.  It was flawless in the film.  The range of Mercury's voice and the quality of it, and of course the writing of some of the great rock anthems of all time make him one of the true rock legends of our time.   This will rock you!  4 paws
