13. Best movie this year!

The critics are all wrong. I only went to the movie because a friend wanted to go. I didn't know what to expect. I actually thought Freddie Mercury was the guy from Kiss whom I don't like at all. Anyway, once the movie started and moved along and the story developed, I fell in love with Mercury's inventiveness and creativity. His guts. The movie is the real story of "A Star is Born" not the one with Cooper and Gaga. Mercury was a force to be reckoned with. By the end of the movie, I was sobbing from having missed out on his life. I hugged my friend afterwards and thanked her for suggesting we see it. I've already started reading up on him and listening to all of his work.

This movie should be up for Best Picture, Best Male lead, Best Director, and more.

It was also fascinating how realistic the sets, costumes, and story line were.

A GAZILLION STARS FOR BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY!
