.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.

Mercury was a private person even before he knew he was gay. The man was just a natural introvert who transformed into a different person when he went on stage. He even kept his private life from his band mates a lot of the time.

Apparently his surviving band mates care because they were the ones who have been trying to get this story out there. And it’s very difficult to call Freddie Mercury a pivotal player in the AIDS story when you consider he didn’t come out with the disease until the day before he died.

Because everyone who goes and sees this movie knows Freddie dies of AIDS.
This thread is full of people with excuses. Go watch the fricking movie. Enjoy the music. That’s what the band and Freddie’s intentions were anyway. If I wanted to watch bunch of gay dudes fricking, I know where the nearest porn site is located
