I think one of the reasons the movie has done so well is that fans of the movie understand and accept (ignoring the critics) that they could not cover a 45 year life of Freddie and his true self in a two hour movie. And while I found the documentary of the early years of Freddie's life fascinating and enjoyable when I watched it, I would not pay money at the movies to see it. And that Freddie tried to keep some of his personal life private while alive, I respect Brian and Roger even more for not exploiting all the details of his personal life (no matter all the criticism) after his death. They gave him the respect and a degree of the privacy that he craved when he was alive, tho, many wanted to strip him of that then and now. I think a lot of Freddie's fans appreciate that. I agree with you completely.
People go to the movies for many reasons but this movie seems to have hit the balance between an interesting movie and an entertaining movie.
I am also so thankful that they did not proceed with Sasha Baron Cohen as Freddie. It would have been so wrong in this movie.
I totally agree. The movie that was finally made was the one that Brian and Roger felt was the best one for fans, non-fans, a variety of ages. It's a film accessible to everyone. It tells Freddie and the band's story with respect, as it should . No wonder it's doing so well at the box office.

[quote author="@lurl'llI'm glad also. Can you imagine the interviews from SBC? I fear he would have tried his best to turn Freddie into a stereotype (on screen and off) or joke. Howard Stern and his ilk would have been in heaven. I wonder who had the idea to consider him in the first place? I am not a fan of SBC and his type of wit and comedy. I am not interested in seeing him on the screen. But that is just me...others may enjoy him and that is fine too. But I am glad they didn't go with him and we got the brilliant Freddie portrayal that we got![/quote] I think SBC would have made the role much more tawdry and sordid. He would probably have exaggerated Freddie's persona quite a bit. That's what he does. It think Cohen's version wouldn't have been very respectful. JMO. I've seen SBC and I know what his style. It works for some things, but I think him playing Freddie would have been a disaster.

Not sure what or if this means anything! The Boss is paving the way for big musicians on Broadway Bruce Springsteen has paved the way for a host of legendary music acts to play the Great White Way in 2019. A group of powerful entertainment companies — Live Nation, Creative Artists Associates and Entertainment Benefits Group — is about to snap up a Broadway theater where A-list rock, pop and country performers will be “in residency” for three-week stints. Deals have not been finalized, but CAA — home to Springsteen’s agent — represents a boatload of superstars, including Ariana Grande, Kelly Clarkson, Bette Milder, Aerosmith, Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie, James Taylor, Demi Lovato, Diana Ross, Faith Hill, the Eagles, Michael Bublé and Adam Lambert.
All are in the mix to play Broadway.nypost.com/2018/11/22/the-boss-is-paving-the-way-for-big-musicians-on-broadway/Hmmmm!!! I wonder what all this is about? Sounds like Adam is in good company on this list. Hope this comes to fruition! It would be great!
