Tbh I really don’t think we need to worry about Rami’s portrayal of Freddie and I’m gunna tell ya why.
On top of his already pretty outstanding portfolio of playing complex and unique characters in both movies and TV shows (Mr. Robot will give you more than enough of an example of his talent in portraying such kinds of characters I’d give it a go if you haven’t watched it yet), Rami also genuinely shows respect and admiration for Freddie and Queen themselves. When the role was available, he took as much time needed to study Freddie’s life thoroughly, and discovered what we all knew. Freddie was more than exceptional, and Rami realized that this would make or break him if he did it wrong. He acknowledged the importance of portraying Freddie as accurately as possible, and it seems to mean the most to him to do this right. Rami also said Freddie, “was the greatest performer that has ever existed” and I think the admiration that comes from such a statement could only be developed from enough research and discovery. We, as fans, have gone through the same journey of exploring this love, and ended up with the same conclusion. Rami is a fan, like us, and has stressed on more than a few occasions how important this portrayal is to him. I’ve seen what he can do career-wise and with this added immense respect for Freddie Mercury, Rami Malek might just be the only person perfect for the role.
Bonus info:
- Rami was already a Queen fan before the role
- Lily of the Valley and Somebody to Love are a few of Rami’s fave Queen songs. When asked on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Rami said “I like some of the more obscure ones. There’s this one called Lily of the Valley that I love.. (after a little silence from Colbert hinting that he probably hadn’t heard that song before) but Somebody to Love is a huge one of mine..” and you can see Colbert like ‘omg I know that!!’ and they started singing it together 😂
- After Brian May watched the full movie, he emailed Rami and told him he was ‘moved to tears’ and that Freddie would be proud. Now IF YOU’RE STILL UNCERTAIN UP UNTIL NOW, THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU HOPE UNTIL NOVEMBER 2nd!!
Me patiently waiting for this semester to be over so I can return to this blog full time and enjoy every ounce of band pics, Queemes, etc. like:
What episode in Queen history..
… Would you like to be show in the film?
- Roger selling Freddie’s coat
- jumping in the elevator
Can we please get Roger hiding in the cupboard???
Yeah! Add whatever you want,
If I don’t get Freddie throwing a brick through John Reid’s window for leaving him at a resturant I’m losing my shit
That time a woman snuck backstage to steal some of Freddie’s jewelry and he caught her by the hair before she could get away!
Freddie coming out of a car and then immediately retreating back into the car while screaming because he didn’t want his white trousers to get dirty from all the mud that was outside. (I think a herd of fans were filthy from waiting out in the rain and were charging toward him?)
That time a drunk fan got to meet Freddie backstage and threw up all over his shoes, and Freddie going barefoot and taking care to make sure the fan was going to be okay.
Brian recording the solo in Dragon Attack while drunk.
Freddie recording a bit of piano while high on coke to see how it affected his songwriting, and him playing it back the next day asking, “What the *hell* is this?!”
That time a fan mailed himself to Freddie’s house.
Freddie making fun of Roger’s green hair.
Roger and John grudgingly trying to get the It’s A Hard Life video the fuck over with.
All these good things, yes!!! I am sure they would have made the script funny, there’s no way they wouldn’t have.
Cracking up at the first one “everything but the kitchen sink fell out [of her bag]” and he called her a Seattle Shagbag!!!!
Seattle Shagbag would be an amazing bandname!
For those of you who were complaining that Bohemian Rhapsody doesn’t show Freddie as being attracted to men…
OH WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT. FREDDIE AND ANOTHER MAN CLEARLY BEING ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER.
