.but it wouldn’t have been what Freddie wanted. He kept his private life private for a reason. He would have wanted a film that celebrated his music - which is what this film reportedly does.

No one knows what he would have wanted, society has come a long way since he died and his reasons for wanting to be very private might not exist anymore. He very could have decided to be as open as possible, since people would be more accepting, or even use his own experience to help others.

and also, who gives a shite. hes dead, his life has been documented and commented on for years, and hes a massive figure in rock and roll history and also a pivotal character in the AIDS story.

Freddie Mercury, spoiler alert, doesn’t die in this movie.

like, seriously. then why even make a Queen movie if not just to remind everyone how awesome you used to be and hopefully sell some records.

Pretty much everything SBC said on Howard Stern was BS. Freddie Mercury, spoiler alert, doesn’t die in this movie. The film ends six years before his death and right after he is diagnosed with HIV.

That's not what he said. He was talking about the movie Brian May wanted to see made when he pitched it to him. This movie is a factually incorrect puff piece as someone mentioned. Also, Queen's music is a thousand times better than the movie. Go put on some Ogre Battle.
