TIL Bohemian Rhapsody was formally the highest grossing biopic. I kind of liked the movie but I know a lot of people who obsessed over Freddie Mercury and they all swear the movie is wretched
The movie isn’t terrible, but there are some super awkward scenes that apparently were only made because of how the contracts were laid out.
I’m super upset Sacha Baron Cohen isn’t apart of it. The band came out and he said he wasn’t that type of actor that could do it or something. Sacha said it’s because they were cleaning up the bio pic too much. Can’t argue with the band on profits though.
I just thought a lot of lies were unnecessary. The director said it’s just to tighten up the film, but I think a better director could do justice to both.
I really liked Rami Malek in Bohemian Rhapsody, but the movie as a whole honestly felt like a medley of Mercury + Queen, kind of glossing over the story very quickly. Not to say I didn’t enjoy it though, and I understand that Queen had a huge say in the direction of the film.
I agree with this 100%.
The scenes by themselves were great…but the editing was one of the worst I’ve seen in a long time.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but biopic does not sound like myopic.
I can’t help it, bio-pic just sounds dumb to me :(
A bi-opic would be someone who suffers from having two eyes.
Unpopular opinion: biopics are the most boring genre of film and I’m sick of hearing about a new one every goddamn week.
Agreed wholeheartedly. That said, Oppenheimer is officially the only biopic I’ve ever watched twice and will definitely watch again someday. Which makes it my favorite biopic, for whatever that is worth about a genre that I loathe.
