“Who knew there would be more gay sex in a movie about Queen Anne than in a movie about Freddie Mercury?”
Mirelle Medina Indeed.
Yup
Elton John: "Hold my beer."
Is it really that weird , considering the fact freaking Shark Tale back then was nominated for best animated picture at the Acadamy Awards.
Nathaniel Foga The Academy Awards has always been a joke
They nominate any animated movie
@@Bcast64 boss baby for the win
That is only a hint of how of a low point animation was back at that time
@@soulswordobrigadosegostar Remember: Brave, the most average of all Pixar movies, won best animated film in 2011.
Queen actually didn’t break up , nor did they feud because of Freddie going solo, in fact two other members had released solo albums before his
Like I said, Hollywood storytelling
Note: just watched the movie and actually quite enjoyed it! Just pointing out inconsistencies since a lot of other people have problems with it
My aunt told me that, and it kind of pissed me off. What's wrong with telling the actual story with the proper cinematic flair and not just being a typical autobiography? That's what I was hoping to get out of it.
Julia 713 I told my parents that and they told me I was wrong. Then I actually showed them the history and they were shocked about how inaccurate this movie was.
Oh wait, I know: it has to be a "woke" film.
True story? What even is that?
They were really good friends but Hollywood depicted the lives of these very real people in a purposefully wrong manner
Austin AkameGaKillfan777 I personally think it’s because it would have made their rise to fame *too* easy. Honestly, I went into the movie not knowing Queen’s history and even with the fabricated issues I still felt that their stardom and fame was practically handed to them. Did they even go through any hardships during their career? Besides clearly Freddy’s sickness and death. I mean I’m glad that they got their lucky breaks but I love to see people go through much adversity and rise victorious out of it.
Yeah why wasn't Into the Spiderverse nominated for best pi-- oh right it's animated.
But what about beauty and the beast, up and toy sto- oh wait they're disney/pixar
And this thread sums up my biggest grievance with the Academy, they treat animation as a joke.
Toy Story 3 was nominated for Best picture
@@fionapalma3886 beauty and the beast was nominated because the animated category didn't exist yet
i still cant understand why animations cant be nominated for best picture
The big question Bohemian Rhapsody left me with was “How would someone wholly unfamiliar with Queen’s music feel about this movie?”
More importantly, does such a person exist? I genuinely wonder what an unbiased perspective on Bohemian Rhapsody might look like, but we may never know because of how huge and widespread their music is.
Maybe not in the U.S. but internationally. But even here there might be kids or even preteens who haven’t heard Queen’s music (or have heard one song or the other but can’t attach the name to it / don’t have as strong a bond with the artist as older generations do). But yeah, that’s an important question.
I mean, I guess it was kinda cool to learn about the people, but their conflicts felt hella forced, the romance plot was a giant mess from top to bottom, EVERYTHING happened in a mad rush, and there was also some music here and there (which was also hard to enjoy because of how it was presented). I really only saw this movie for Rami, and boy did he deliver. I definitely could have waited for it to show up on Netflix though, and I don’t think I’ll ever be watching it again.
I’ve never been interested in queen or their music, so seeing this story for the first time was interesting.
My girlfriend didn't know about them. She had listened to a few of their songs without even knowing. We watched the movie together, and she loved it!
And now she occasionally listens their songs😀
DaThings they’d probably think it’s way better than it is, since the music is so great it would make the movie great as well
I just hope Spiderverse wins in animation. For once, not Disney as usual.
Robin That would be great, but I doubt it will actually happen
I'm a HUGE Disney fan, but I think Spider Man Into the Spider Verse is one of the most exceptional films I've seen in a long time. Spider Verse deserves Best Animated Feature.
It's perplexing. Despite how little respect I have for Hollywood and the Oscars, the fact that they as an institution pretend to be prestigious and respectable still makes me hope they'll award the movies I care about :/
I wish Isle of Dogs would win, but spooderman makes more sense.
I really hope Spider-Man or Isle of Dogs win, but please don’t be Incredibles 2. It probably is going to win anyway, since The Academy Awards likes to suck up to Disney so much.
If you are wondering when the shark tale video is coming out, here's a thing.
YOU CAN'T RUSH ART.
It's strange yet funny that I get the reference. Of all lines in Toy Story 2 this stood out for me.
Lol I was gonna coment something related to that
I may not be a smart dog, but I know what good content is
Toy story is bae

Considering that the Oscars didn't even nominate the Lego Movie or the Lego Batman movie for best animated feature, nothing really surprises me these days. And not only did they not nominate the Lego Movie in 2014, they had the audacity to let Big Hero 6 win over How to Train Your Dragon 2! If the Lego movie wasn't going to win you could at least give it to How to Train Your Dragon!!!
Obi-Wan Kenobi they also nominated boss baby instead of LEGO Batman so there’s that
Big Hero 6 was a great movie though
@@bruce000000070000000 I like Big Hero 6, but the Lego Movie and HTTYD had better story, characters and music,
The oscars is very strict I believe. I loved Tintin but since its motion capture it wasnt nominated. Lego movie had a few minutes of live action, which mightve forfeited it. For Lego Batman I dont know why it wasnt nominated.
TheTarantuRoach Tbh, HTTYD 2 had better writing and was more compelling to me.
Paddington 2, gets 100% on rotten tomatoes.
The academy, 0% interest
Paddington 2 is really great and I love it, but rotton tomatoes isn't a very good credible source for film critism...
@@theemeraldaxe1414 places like rotten tomatoes and metacritic still have their uses I think, even if it's accuracy is questionable.
@@connorp3764 I don't know, rotten tomato heavily encourages mediocrity, like, if there's a movie that people think it's amazing or bad, it's gonna do way worse then something that's just fine. It dosent want to challenge you, the system is really messed up.
@@theemeraldaxe1414 okay, first off, sorry for the late reply, youtube didn't show me your reply.
Yeah, you're pretty much right. But I still think it has uses, mainly for it linking you to other sources to read reviews singularly. I essentially use it just for it's compilation and simple ways to see all the critic reviews from major sites for a movie/game. But I still think it's a good starting point at least to get the general concensus in like the barest form, but by no means should it be the only source for anything. If I'm gonna be honest, I absolutely despise rating systems of any kind anyways.
@@connorp3764 it's totally fine, and I completely agree.
Even though I really liked Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocketman was what it should've been. Something that feels unique to the music and shows newcomers why people love the music so much. Again I really liked it still.
I hope it does get nominated.
I am still salty about Boss Baby getting a nomination and A Silence Voice didn't
It got nominated over Lego Batman too, but of course that was a Warner Bros movie and everyone knows Disney hates Warner Bros.
The thing about that is...
The Academy hates Japan.
If they didn’t hate Japan, the entire oscars would just be anime
@@Geo69-o1j well deserved tbh
Bruh America is just jealous that Japan makes hand-made animation that tells better stories than 90% of mainstream movies.
The thing about Freddie's ex girlfriend is not that problematic because she was a very important person in his life and stayed by his side until he was dead. I do though have an issue with the oversimplification of the characters of the male lovers. One is like "Hello my name is AIDS and I'm bad" and the other "I'm Mr. Rehabilitation & Stable Life". And they pretend like wild party life was draining for him when in fact it was the lifestyle he loved. I assume that this was conservative overcompensation by both the PC machine behind the movie and maybe Queen's other members which wanted to romanticise their real life story.
It's honestly a shame how Freddie was portrayed by the screenplay. Rami's performance only does so much to help the movie when the version of Freddie he's forced to play is so wrong. I can't help but wonder if Freddie Mercury would hate this movie if he were still alive to see it.
I think Freddies boyfriends in the movies have such a basic character is because Freddie was a very private person. like he would show the outside little to nothing of his personal life. And Roger and Brian probably couldn´t help too much because they probably didnt know them too well either. But thats just my guess
Historical Accuracy>Political Correctness
@@AkameGaKillfan777 except Bohemian Rhapsody is laughably historically inaccurate (Freddy was already roommates with one of the queen memebers before joining their band, his parents approved his musical lifestyle a whole lot sooner than the movie implies, the Mike Myers character is completely fictional, Freddy apparently hooked up with plenty of women in additional to all the men he hooked up with at his parties, a few other members of Queen actually produced singles before Freddy did and they never "broke up", Freddy wasn't diagnosed with AIDS until after the live aid performance, and his most positive and meaningful gay relationship lasted several years after the live aid performance despite only having a couple scene appearances in the movie that's massively overshadowed by all the negatively portrayed gay hookups and angst about his ex girlfriend despite sources always talking about how positive their lifelong friendship was)
@@greenmanatee3368 That only makes me more mad the more I find out about it.
It’s funny how Black Panther has a more memorable score than a movie about a musical genius.
*facepalm*
Really sir ? Are you serious !
I can't remember a single track
To give credit where it's due, I did appreciate the direction they took its score, but I think nominating it just because 99% of the cast is black seems disingenuous to the black community.
Black Panther was shit. Bohemian Rhapsody was pretty good
And the Oscar for best picture goes to
Fantastic four (2015)
Now that would be the worst best picture movie ever
Deadpool: "And the Oscar goes to...Hell!"
"And so, Freddie died from gay."
I think people just really like Queen, and that clouded their judgement.
Same with black panther
Mario Galan Black Panther wasn’t nominated because of clouded judgement, it was nominated specifically for a reason
Pastel Sparkles What do you mean by “actually”? You’re not refuting anything I said, I said it was nominated for a reason, no that the reason was quality
Naj Adamu I really like Queen, but I think the movie was just average.
@Pastel Sparkles man some Marvel movies are INSANELY good
To be fair, Mary was *extremely* important to Mercury’s life. He literally left her his home and fortune even though he was still in relationship with Jim. While he was living even after he came out he consistently called her the only person in the world he trusted and considered a friend. She wasn’t just some chick he dated until he realized he was gay and then that was that. I agree more time could’ve been spent on the Jim Hutton relationship, but I don’t think the movie was out of line spending so much time on Mary.
And I wasn’t surprised at all that it got nominated. Biopics about famous, well loved, influential people are typical Oscar bait. Your desire for the nominated film to have exceptional editing and storytelling is noble, but not really grounded in reality. Plenty of movies that were unexceptional on that front have been nominated in the past. I liked BoRhap quite a bit.
The idea of such Oscar Bait existing in the first place being ludicrous is kind of the thesis statement of the video - Of course it's a complaint not grounded in reality; The reality is far more ridiculous.
nekomaster1000 But part of the video is actively expressing a disbelief that the movie was nominated or a failure to understand why it was nominated, and I think it makes perfect sense that it was nominated.
@@nekomaster1000 I agree with you about everything BUT did you just forget that bisexual people exist? He didn't just date Mary until he realized he was gay
Lilith Da Hobbit errr but if he was bisexual then why would he need to break up with her...? I understand the concept of having a strong preference when you’re bi, but if his sexuality is the only thing that broke them up, then I’d assume that means he’s gay...(forgive me if I got the history wrong, I’m not a Queen buff)
Its just felt like the movie demonized the gay aspects of his life.
I swear to god, if Incredibles 2 wins over Spider-Verse I’m gonna loose it....
Update: 🎶AND ITS SWEEEEEEET SWEEEEEEET SWEEET VICTORY YEAH!!!!🎶
I'm not the biggest Spiderman fan, but that movie was very impressive and stylized.
It probably will because it's Pixar
I liked Coco from 2017, but I also enjoyed Loving Vincent. It's one thing to hand-draw, use 3D-CGI or whatever, but to PAINT every frame? Only the most passionate filmmakers would be willing to take a risk like that.
I love them both but Spider-Verse is way more important for animation, superhero movies, the Spider-Man franchise and is way better overal.
Incredibles 2 is just a sequel, a damn good sequel that many waited for, but it's not that important.
Matt I. I agree that Incredibles 2 was still a good film. Though in terms of being compared to a film like The Avengers, I’d say it was more comparable to Spider-Man Homecoming, in that it was good, but not quite epic enough to be an Avengers level film.
Freddie was Bi, not Gay....
And Freddie was happier when he was with Mary, that's no secret. He left his money, royalty rights, etc to her.
Damnit, he wrote Love of my Life for her when they broke up and his last video clip line "I still love you" was most likely aimed to her.
Really, read into their love story....Freddie said himself that none of his lovers could ever replace Mary.
Game Detective I know I’m late but they’re rumours (that he wrote it for Mary) and Freddie said that he wrote for no one
Freddie actually was gay, people who were close to him have said he described himself “as gay as a daffodil”
late, but love of my life was never for mary, just another sappy love song. if you read hutton’s book, mercury and me, he does state some pretty nasty things mary did after freddie’s death which always left a bitter taste in my mouth. i recommend reading. it’s a good read, short and sweet. but you know, biases are real, we never knew them personally so it was really up to the writers to accurately portray their relationships, which they didnt; but hey, it was entertaining
@@koholintz3125 wait what did she do? I'm actually like, really clueless when it comes to _Queen._
R.J. Penfold all good! i know she’s done more than what im gonna say, but off the top of my head, the main things are kicking freddie’s family and jim out of Garden Lodge (freddie’s home for the last years of his life) and denying jim a place in his rightful car in the funeral processions. she also looked down on his gay friends and lifestyle. she was pretty manipulative too, but jim hutton goes into depth in his book, albeit it’s biased
And now:
Quotes from The Oscars (probably maybe)
"It's so progressive tho"
"Animation is for children!"
"Uuhh... I don't know just nominate the one that made the most money."
"Japan? What's that?"
And there we go I ran out of ideas.
Just like most of Hollywood boom gotem
Speaking of animation and Japan, Schafrillas’d ABSOLUTELY love _Dragon Ball Super : Broly_ (IF he learnt the context from Dragon Ball Z and Super, as well as OG dragon Ball); and I think he’d REALLY love Vegeta’s character arc
There's also :
"Let's give the Oscar to the most boringest biopic ever ! Bonus points if it's set in the past !"
"Pixar and Disney are the only ones that can make great animated movies. All the others suck"
One from this year was Amy Schumer saying at the end of a joke that didn't land, "People all over Ukraine are losing their rights. *mumbles something about the next award* And trans people. *continues talking about next award*" Like, "Wow, Amy, nice to know how much you care."
I was an extra in Bohemian Rhapsody if you look carefully you can see me on the screen for one moment in the crowd. I was there when they were filming the whole live aid scene and it made me love queen. When I watched it in the cinemas I was literally crying of joy. I don’t know a film that has made me do that.
Wow that's cool, congratulations.
David Underwood just another days work.🤗
That's super cool.
@HoboJoe2016 saved by the flu
@HoboJoe2016 yeah im just kidding
Aside from Rami Malek’s best actor nod, Bohemian Rhapsody shouldn’t have been nominated for any Oscars. I did enjoy it, but it’s just an okay film (Malek aside). Then again, this is the Oscars, so they continue to amaze me with their odd decisions (not in a good way mind you).
In my opinion, I think Rami Malek should not have won the Oscar. You just have to look at Christian Bale.
I think it's because the Oscars have been going down in viewership for a while, so they tried to nominate more popular movies.
Same reason they tried to do a "Popular Movies" category.
I think that's why Boss Baby and Ferdinand were nominated for best Animated film last year, even though many people hated them.
I just felt like a band as amazing as Queen and a musical genius such as FREDDIE MERCURY deserved such a better film.... maybe a better Queen film will come in the future because I want to see them do the greatest band of all time justice
It’s easy. The academy really likes Queen. Done.
That's a way better explanation than what Schafrillas said honestly.
I along with many others like Queen, but that doesn't excuse the rest of the film from criticism.
If they liked Queen they would have made it maybe more accurate to how the band really was when they were together
Or maybe they just want more viewership and nominate this and Black Panther and more mainstream movies to do that.
Or they want ratings.
I think the reason why it was nominated was simply because it's about Queen. It's a band that both baby boomers and millennials love. It could be the worst movie of all time and still probably be nominated. That and the Oscars love their bio pics. I don't think this movie will win due to both of the controversies around it, but I could be wrong.
Can the Oscars invest time in liking actually good bio pics tho? :/
The Kraken Experiment It obviously was nominated only because the main character is bi.
@@thethingthatwouldnotgoaway5881 I don't think that's the case. Liked mentioned in this video, the only gay moments portray homosexuality in a negative light, which is one of the main controversies around this movie. If a film was nominated only because it has a gay character, then they would probably choose one that has a better portrayal like Moonlight last year.
And adolescents like myself love Queen
I agree, but Freddie Mercury was very prominently bisexual, and not just merely gay,
yeah, and the movie failed on that front, too. the “i think i’m bisexual” “you’re gay” exchange pissed me off so much. freddie’s relationships with men are demonized, yet simultaneously the possibility that he liked women too is given a mere scoff at. 😬
bisexuals are gay epic owned
that's the movie...
I think so too. There is definitely some ambiguity in his sexuality. But yikes, don't phrase it with words like "merely gay".
He was gay
@Rando It's not bi erasure, he was gay
I’ll tell you why it won -
E V E R Y O N E L O V E S Q U E E N
The Beatles are better 😏
T-Dawg 0041 but the Beatles aren’t Queen. Don’t get me wrong, I am a MASSIVE Beatles fan, but Queen is better in some ways, and the Beatles in others.
What if i make the worst biopic movie of all time which is about John lennon would it be nominated probably
@@T-Dawg-lp2sh I can't really compare them. They made different types of music
It really baffles me that Bryan Singer still has a career after the whole #Metoo movement. I mean, is that his mutant power? To be a pedophile and get away with it?
I love Bohemian Rhapsody! It's my favorite stand so far!
I prefer Killer Queen
Get out.
the 9 year olds stil nead your help kan you promoot pewdiepie
I'd love to go see it!
Bohemian rhapsody? You mean copyright nightmare the stand?
Rami didn't even thank Bryan Singer during his acceptance speech. An actor not thanking the director of their film is almost unheard of.
@@bubblegumbitch2191 I wasn't saying he should? I'm just saying what's the point of continuing to give Singer work when you know what he did, seem to have a problem with it, but won't acknowledge him openly. I'm not even talking about Rami alone, I'm talking about the entire crew and anyone who has given work to him since all of this came out
@@luffyduffy7817 MONEY MONEY MONEEEEEY!
I personally really enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody but it is definitely NOT, a good best picture nominee.
Note- they are called the OSCARS.
The academys their puff daddy.
“Hollywood is horrible”
A video has never been more deserving of a like.
I’m really saddened by that, since there are still some great directors and actors who still work there. I don’t think I have to go into detail as to why everyone loves Tom Cruise or Leonardo DiCaprio, but directors like Taika Waititi, Rian Johnson, and Christopher Nolan (Chris is a bit more controversial, but I love his movies) are all extremely talented and will make several masterpieces in their future careers. It’s just the image of people like Brain Singer or Michael Bay (I really despise Bay, but opinions be opinions if you disagree) that tarnish the image of Hollywood. And yeah, the academy shares the total mental acuity of a doorknob for not nominating the Lego Movie or Lego Batman.
@Imagine Wagons OMG I love your name and also I agree with what you are saying.
You are stupid hollywood is good and all oscars winners are good
@@totaldramafangaming118 Ah yes the culture that destroyed countless lives and produced countless cases of sexual assault and abuse is “good”. How blind can you be?
Hey remember when Suicide Squad won an Oscar?
It won for costume.
@@echo5entertainment169 still...
Echo5 Entertainment It was for makeup and hairstyling actually. And I'm ngl, it deserved it. Killer Croc's makeup as well as the makeup on the putty things were legitimately good, even if the character of Killer Croc was shit. The makeup on the actor for El Diablo was pretty good too.
The movie sucks donkey balls, don't get me wrong, but I understand it winning an Oscar. The reason it won over Star Trek Beyond was because Star Trek Beyond used prosthetics, while the makeup on Killer Croc was applied by hand, and was harder to do.
Besides, this is not the first time a bad film won an Oscar. Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, The Wolfman, The Golden Compass, etc. won an Oscar too.
Thanks to you, I am now a believer in repressed memory
@@andrewheaney4874 I hated Suicide Squad, but i respect the art of special effects makeup and thought that win was deserved. It is difficult to take something from a comic book and make it look good in person and they succeeded
I mean, who still cares about Oscar? I think for the last few years it's pretty obvious that academicians care about everything else but movies and art.
Кот Ток well last years noms were pretty fantastic except for Darkest Hour and The Post. As for this year, not so much but at least Roma and The Favourite got the most noms including Best Picture. I hope Roma wins, it’s my personal best film of the year.
th-cam.com/video/j6f-JoM3P-A/w-d-xo.html
Oscars are just a bunch of first class survivors from the titanic all getting together in a room to bitch about movies they didn't even watch before throwing darts at a spinning wheel of every movie that came out that year except for animated films
Кот Ток yeah the Oscars are rigged
Moonlight was very well deserved imo. And I am very biased towards The Shape of Water (because I love Uncle Del Toro and I love love stories which are different in some way).
Oscar committee is more obsessed with keeping an sjw/progressive agenda then they are are with movies, it honestly baffels me
I generally agree with your opinion but the reason Freddie's relationship with Mary was showcased a lot more was because it was most likely the most important relationship in his life, not romantically but in other aspects. He considered her the one person he could always trust even years after their breakup (he stated that himself in interviews), and she was a beloved friend of his. Their time together also happened to have taken place during Queen's rise to fame, which makes it completely logical that she would be shown much more than Jim Hutton who was also incredibly important to Freddie, but was present for the last years of his life. The movie cut off after 1985, and did not display the 6 years ('85-'91) that he and Freddie were really together, which completely makes sense in terms of the timeline. Trying to make this sound like some sort of homophobic plot hole is just not fair, so feel free to poke at the movie's actual shitty aspects, but this just isn't one of them.
Julia plus the years Freddie and Jim were together was when his AIDS was getting worse and worse, and the band didn’t want to show his illness except for his diagnosis
He obviously poised it more as a theory/question as to "why?", so no need for your petty passive-aggressive saying he's "trying to make this sound like", when I, and other people less jumpy than you, I'm sure took it the 'theory/why?' way. You couldve answered the question without accusations, but nope, apparently.
NinjaNipple Dog semantics
while you have a point it's still a thing that's worthy of critique. They could have adjusted the focus of the movie ever so slightly!
Damn bro that was real interesting. But I didn't ask.
I'm just kidding
"You tell Bryan Singer he'll never eat lunch in this town again!"
When is Shrek 4 review coming?
This is it. Shrek 4 was actually a clever decoy & Bo Rhap was Shrek 4 all along. The Mike Myers cameo all makes sense now. Queen actually wrote the original screenplay to Shrek; their song "Ogre Battle"

so you're saying that adding sexual content or drug use or something would make this movie all better?
@@acblook
Wait, isn't Freddy Mercury famous for that?
(In addition to his musical talent, obviously.)
It still wouldn't make the movie any more worthy of an Oscar than it already is. That's like getting a branch, decorating it with tons of ornaments and saying that it's better than all the other Christmas trees. Adding that stuff into the Bohemian Rhapsody movie that we got would have just bogged it down and excluded a large audience from seeing it.
@@elderly_gentleman9489
I wasn't campaigning for the insertion of that stuff into the movie there, I was just pointing out that it was actually part of the real story. However, their (relative) absence could be seen as a symptom of an actual problem people see in the film: not being completely true to the actual events, and instead telling a more "sanitized" version.
As for being Oscar-worthy... I don't think that winning an Oscar says much about quality nowadays, so I don't really have anything to contribute to that discussion.
I agree with all of your statements- I just misinterpreted your original comment. They would have had to create an entirely new movie in order to incorporate those elements and have them make sense.
"Why couldn't Paddington 2 get a nomination?"
Because...
it uh...
it came out...
in 2017...
I mean Spirited Away came out in Japan in 2001, but didn’t come to the US until 2002, and that still manged to win Best Animated Feature
I liked this movie. My dad really liked it because he appreciated how well they reconstructed the old Queen shows. They showed one of the concerts in the film that he'd gone to in his youth and he said they got it spot on, the feeling of the show, Freddie's interactions with the crowd, etc. That kind of stuff is what should make movies nominated for Oscars tbh
Though yeah spider verse or infinity war are definitely the films of 2018. The former for overall quality, the latter for the shattering impact it had as a whole
"Wanna hear a joke?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA- * Dies *
* WHEEEEEEEEEZE *
It’s because he’s dead.
If they made a David Bowie movie that nobody really valued it would still win something.
IM NOT KIDDING YOU www.thevintagenews.com/2019/02/14/david-bowie-movie/
www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/.../david-bowie-biopic-duncan-jones-music-rig...
But Bowie died like, barely 3 years ago, it would make sense for his movie to win. Freedie has been dead for a looong time now, and anyone's 20 minutes of searching on google or seeing interviews would get a lot more than if they watch the movie (besides Rami's performance)
Even though I would LOVE to see a movie dedicated to Bowie, I would hate to see a singer I love become so mediocre in today’s society like what happened with this movie and queen.
Bowie's movie should be ten years in the making and have absolutely nothing to do with his actual life story. Doing a straight biopic would be a waste.
I mean they're making Rocketman and Elton John is still alive so

Wow, the description predicted Oscars 2021
Yo, but can we talk about how Spiderverse got nominated for best animated picture, but probably won't win.
We already have a sequel and a spinoff confirmed, but still, it would suck if it loses.
At least it has many awards already.
Don't say shit like that. God forbid. Touch wood. Shub shub bolo.
I'll keep my hopes up but if they loose to frickin Incredibles 2 or something, Imma set them on fire
@depressed cockroach ITSV got 41? Huh, neat
If incredibles 2 wins I will lose it. It's such an awful movie.
I was honestly worried about watching this video, because while the movie isn't 100% , all of the actors acted the hell out of their parts. So, I was was very happy that you acknowledged Rami and the rest of the cast and crew (excluding Singer) who worked very hard, so well done and thanks!
A bohemian rhapsody ad appeared on this video.
nice. (?)
They know he is talking shit, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!
"loving hetero relationship"
"being gay"
is this bi erasure??
It's thinking you're straight, then understanding that you're actually gay.
Yeah, I’d say. They could’ve made it so Freddie would show romantic attraction to females, sexual attraction to males. That’s how I think Freddie really was.
@@salamilidaintgonfit7576 But isn't romance inherently sexual though? You can like the idea of romance and sweeping women off their feet, but if you can't back it up with real desire, then it's just an act.
You can have an intense emotional and intellectual connection regardless of real attraction and I think Freddie had that with Mary. But he couldn't committ despite this strong connection.

Austaneous C yea nah not quite, although I see why you’re confused it’s a bit hard to get without experiencing it
as an avid user of tumblr, i can confirm that after a couple months, a majority of the people who were big fans of bohemian rhapsody stopped being so generous with their praise of it and started to realize how problematic a lot of the portrayals of Freddie's relationships and such were. considering a large part of the fandom was grsm (gender romantic sexual minorities), it got really hard for people to overlook the demonization of Freddie's homosexualism. i think a large part of the reason the movie was so well-accepted was simply because it was Queen and Queen is such a big name that people would have loved almost anything they put out (it also helps that people really like Rami Malek and found the other actors to be hot and Joe Mazzello's willingness to interact with fans on instagram and such). but once the initial sense of awe faded away, people became much more critical of the movie (myself included) because come on, it's 2019, can we stop demonizing gay relationships for the sake of the conservatives who you expect to watch the movie?
Anyone else think of r/FellowKids at the "what are those?" joke?

I disagree. If you’re really a fan of Queen, the actual band and not just their music, I think you’d hate the movie for just how much they got wrong and changed from the real story.
True, if you're a balls-deep fan of queen, you'll notice what they got wrong. It's usually minor but it's, well, present.
ajzeg01 Are you gatekeeping liking Queen?
Nah, the movie was plain and boring.
*cough cough Fat Bottomed Girls being performed years before it came out*
I don't know much about Queen's history and I didn't really care for this movie but what did they changed? Just curious enough to ask but not curious enough to look it up.
The movie didnt really won. Freddie Mercury won.
Thats the only reason it was even nominated its an od to Queen's legacy.
That's not a valid excuse for why it got nominated what if I made a john lennon which is awful and everybody hates it would you excuse it because it's about John lennon
Honestly, Christian Bale deserves to win over Rami.
Honestly i like Bohemian Rhapsody, theirs some emotional moments such as Freddie finding out he has Aids which was really sad but he still was living his best life. Like the comedy was pretty good when it had its jokes like Roger, Brian, and Johns argument which lead to some iconic moments. Rami is overall a fantastic actor and theirs things I like about it. Its one of my favorite movies from 2018 and theirs probably far better but it was something I saw because i like the band. Also i want to add on to the complaint about the "Toxic Relationship" portion, I believe it was showed to show theirs some people who will trap you into a relationship and make you think they love u when really its toxic and abusive. Tho we should have gotten more screentime with Jim and Freddie.
The thing your not really taking into account is that, while critics didn’t really like it, audiences went CRAZY for it. It’s one of the highest grossing films of the year domestically and worldwide. Every person I’ve talked to who’s seen it loves it. It struck just the right nerve with the general populace and they’re supporting it like crazy. Now think about this, what has the academy been struggling with the past few years? Nobody wants to watch the Oscars. Film fans like us will watch no matter what (although I may skip out this year because who the fuck cuts cinematography and editing?), but the public doesn’t care enough to see everything live, in large part because most of the time, nobody has seen any of the nominees. Hell, even the academy usually doesn’t. So what’s a sure fire way to fix that? Nominate something people want to root for. Even if you take out Black Panther and Bo Rhap, the lowest grossing out of the nominees this year is The Favorite, and it’s still made like $40 million. People have actually seen many of the nominees this year, and the hope is that people will tune in to see if their favorite will will. And many people’s favorite (if the $700 million this movie has made is any indication), is Bo Rhap.
That makes a lot of sense. Good point.
But here's the thing: There were plenty of other films last year that critics said was alright but audiences adored, most notably Infinity War, which made a shit-ton more money than Bohemian Rhapsody and yet only has an Oscar nom for effects. So even if this was an attempt to give the general public a feel-up to get them to watch, picking Bohemian Rhapsody still seems like a weird choice.
ColonelJak42 Musical biopics are a common sight at the Oscars, so it make sense for the academy to get behind it. As for Infinity War, the academy was already throwing their full support behind Black Panther, and as we all know, there can’t possibly be more than one exceptional superhero movie a year.
I seem to be more of a Black Panther apologist than many people here, but it made almost no sense at all that it was nominated over Infinity War.
That movie had a lot more riding on turning out well and took a LOT more risks.
Applaud you good sir. Coming from a major movie buff, I haven't watched the Oscars in years. Bohemian Rapsody has made me want to again, because I am rooting for Rami.
Freddie Mercury wasn't gay, as you said. He was bi.
He was gay
@@arlaghdoth4434 what
ArcanianArcher he was gay
Freddy Mercury explicitly said in interviews that he identified as bisexual
@@aceven2raa people dont even know their own sexualities for half their lives how are you so sure about his
Hollywood has literally become the Film Actors Guild. Congratulations, you have become the very thing you said your weren't several decades ago. All that the movie was missing was Matt Damon.
This movie just seemed like a rushed wikipedia article
Freddie let Mary have his ashes
I mean you really have to trust someone to have your own ashes
But I see where you you are coming from
Personally, I loved this movie but I really don't know why, if I break it down into the basics of movie making I don't see any outstanding parts, though tbf the end scene especially in a large cinema screen was a really good experience though I agree this movie made more money than it had any right to make and probs shouldn't have been nominated
I totally agree! When I came out of the cinema I was in love but when you think of the movie itself it really wasnt that good. I think its just Rami´s performance and of course the Queen music playing in almost all of the movie that made me like it so much
I agree. I loved it and cried at the end, but looking back I know it isn't an outstanding movie. To me all that matters is that I enjoyed it. It shouldn't have been nominated, but who cares? The Oscars have been going downhill anyway, it isn't too surprising.
freddy was bisexual, not gay! a small distinction, especially because how often people conflate the two, but still. bi.
His name was Freddie, not Freddy! a small distinction, especially because how often people conflate the two, but still. Freddie.
namjoon stan first, human second Nah son he was romantically oriented towards men and woman but only sexually attracted to men (that’s my theory), so still gay
Emma C I think that would be bi romantic, homosexual. I don’t think it’s right to discount his heteroromantic attraction.
I regret to inform you how it’s not even close to historically accurate
This reminds of another Oscar you're yet to talk about
Freddie Mercury was bisexual. That's how he labelled himself, although he didn't like labels. But yeah, they definitely didn't frame his same-sex relationships very... well.
And now your expectations about the Oscars got subverted!
9:20 it took that long?? XD
I thought Chadwick Boseman's performance as T'Challa also had some standout moments and I found the SFX on par with the other films in the MCU
I think it Bohemian had problems too especially the accuracy they could’ve added a bit more and bring the power from that history.
Movie: is average
Oscars: finally, a worthy apponant
I was actually pissed that Bohemian got the Oscar for Best Sound Mixing over A Star Is Born. That was ridiculous.

Still waiting for that hourlong tamatoa analysis.
Long ago we lived in the crazy noisy bizarre Negaverse combined into one.
Life was practically peaceful in many parts of the crazy noisy bizarre negaverse.
One fateful day, the Smithy Gang had made a man known as Retep their general.
He proved his power by killing over 1 billion versions of Juggernaut, Doomsday, Darkseid and Thanos.
This turn of events shook the entire world....
With no one, whether they be a hero or villain even willing to challenge the Smithy Gang. They easily took over the Crazy Noisy Bizarre Negaverse.
After Smithy declared himself the ruler of the Crazy Noisy Bizarre Negaverse.
He and the rest of his goons stole all the hentai.
The loss of the hentai drove many to fall into despair. They knew they wouldn't be able to stop the Smithy Gang. This all was to Junko's delight..
Many years later......
Bill Cipher and Aku started a rebellion due to their hentai and weed being taken away. They were holding it for their friends.
The war against Retep's forces lasted for centuries. Many had perished to fight for the freedom of the crazy noisy bizarre negaverse.
During the final battle something happened. It was the work of...
Gumball Waterson,
Izuku Midoriya,
Atsuko Kagari,
Ruby Rose,
Ogilvie Maurice 'Sonic' Hedgehog,
Bowser Jr.,
Meatwad,
Darwin Waterson,
Steven Universe,
Zim,
Ash Ketchum,
Rowley Jefferson,
Greg Heffley,
Ryuko Matoi,
Frisk,
Crash Bandicoot,
Stewie Griffin,
Chris Griffin,
Cuphead,
Hat Kid,
Doom Slayer,
Banjo,
Kazooie,
Nathan Adams,
Takato Matsuki,
Guilmon,
Butters Stotch,
Ren Amamiya,
Bart Simpson,
and Spongebob Squarepants.
They all planned to fuse into an omnipotent being.
The being, able to defeat Retep had struggled though
However.....
None of them could take into account that there was a reason Smithy was Retep's boss.
They all defused under the idea that they didn't need to be omnipotent to fight Smithy and could easily take him on. They didn't know a technique that Smithy learned would end the war in his favor.
One called....
the Asspull.
Smithy proceeded to knockout the warriors. Deeming them unworthy of death he channeled Manbearpig as he prepared the universe ending technique.
After the warriors failed to stop Smithy's asspull. The Crazy Noisy Bizarre Negaverse exploded into many universes resetting everything.
Now....
The multiverse starts to collapse as various universes merge together.
The reincartions of the warriors will have to team up to survive and fight assholes
How would these characters react if it was true?
Is this the Smash Bros dlc roster?
Is this the plotline for the next Kingdom Hearts or something?
Idk if you're into Hip-Hop/Rap but if you want a musical biopic, I wonder if you'd enjoy Straight Outta Compton.
You're points are all quite fair apart from Mary Jane Austin, she remained his best friend for life pretty much that's why she was central to the story

"This is the movie that lost my respect for the Oscars."
This is a critic body that will offer the best picture to a trailer if it ticks the right boxes.
I think it's because people love Queen and because the Academy responds well to simplistic psuedo-dissections of LGBT people
Freddie Mercury is a BISEXUAL icon - this movie is bi erasure, despite how much I enjoyed it.
he's a GAY icon, my good sir
Monks I think he was romantically into both but sexually into men, so he was still gay but biromantic
He's a musical icon. People see to far into his sexuality, even the movie.
I freaking love this movie.
But I really respect your opinion and love your videos.
I liked this movie. But now I’m afraid that Rocketman won’t get the more deserved attention because of all the hype for this one.
Beale street not getting nominated over this is probably the craziest anomaly in Oscar history. Moonlight won just a few years before and typically if the director makes an incredibly well-received movie after winning/getting nominated for Best Picture, it will almost always get a nomination. So to see this critically panned and highly commercialized take on Queen take the cake over Beale Street was a shocking move by the Academy
I mean, they have a MCU movie nomination so no it’s not the weirdest

I love IW but comparing IW to those movies is a joke. It has no remarkable editing, cinematography or themes or makes me think. Only performance that is close to Oscar Worthy is probably Josh Brolin

Black Panther wasn't even nominated for visual effects at the Oscars. And it definitely didn't win- First Man did.
Lying bitch
I personally loved Bohemian Rhapsody a lot, and I wasn’t even a Queen fan when I first saw it
i love queen, but bo rap was kinda forgettable
Here's an argument I want to put forwards regarding the Bryan Singer point. I don't necessarily agree with the following, I'm simply emulating a mindset that I believe might have some validity in this situation:
Even if you take the director's credit away from the movie, that doesn't change the fact that the movie exists and the majority of the movie was directed by Singer. On that front, lavishing the movie with awards is still "rewarding" a known pedophile for their work, even if nobody wishes to acknowledge that the movie was 90% directed by them. I'd even argue that the lack of transparency of *who* directed the movie might be worse off for the industry as a whole if we as consumers can't look into who directed what because the credits have been plastered over with replacement names to protect the "integrity" of Hollywood.
If any of you feel so strongly about not rewarding Bryan Singer's effort because he is a bad person, why not just pull the movie in-general? If it was 90% shot and directed by Singer, then it is Singer's work, and should not be rewarded in the Oscars, or even rewarded by having a release at all. It should be canned as a message to all pedophiles in the industry that they will not only be ousted from Hollywood, but they will not be able to hide behind the movies that they push out into theaters to soak up credit and fame from people who don't know or do not care about the nature of their crimes.
Do you agree with the above statement? If not, what arguments to do you have in separating the work of the artist from the artist themselves?
I 100 percent agree with your first paragraph. To deny someone credit just because they are a terrible person, in my mind, is plagiarism. You do not get to commit crimes scott-free just because it is at the expense of a criminal or alleged criminal. If that was the case then the world would be in chaos with the "eye for an eye" mentality taken far too strictly.
The thing I found strangest was that the film made a big thing about the song “Bohemian Rhapsody” not being too long at 6 minutes, and how radio stations should’ve been willing to play it.
But then the film itself wasn’t even willing to play the entire song, just lots of snap clips of it. It felt like the filmmakers were criticising the producer guy for something which they were also doing with their own film.
The film has a story to tell. If it played all the songs in it from beginning to end, the movie would have about 3 lines of dialogue. That situation can hardly be equated to that of playing a song on the radio.
Oscars need to watch more 2018 movies XD
They just need to watch more movies in general. They treat animation as a joke.
I disagree with the idea that a movie should not get awards just because one of the creators did some bad things. The award is for the quality of the movie, not quality of the people making the movie. I like to keep those seperate.
For example if someone wrote an amazing book, but then it turned out he was a mass murderer, he should still get all the awards he deserves (because the book is really good) and then get sent to jail forever (because murder is bad).
Also I agree that this movie is mediocre.
But there are awards like best picture that while they are supposed to celebrate the film as a whole, still automatically reward the director. Also you didn’t pick a very good example because books and films are very different art forms and their industries are different as well. There’s one person behind the making of a book, and very little money, compared to a movie. It’s much easier to put authors away, especially if they don’t have a cult-like following (only a small number of authors have cult-like status and big bank accounts). Whereas Hollywood has way fewer directors than there are authors, but these directors have a lot of money and manpower behind their products. With this power and lack of accountability comes a tendency to abuse it. These directors have a ton of connections that keep them from getting put away, and that’s an issue that the industry as a whole needs to address, including these award shows. A best picture win is another pat on the back for these awful people, another chance for THEM to speak over the people they abused. So I understand what you’re trying to say, and while I think that actors and people behind the camera should get awards for their work, that can be done in separate categories. A best picture win is a win for the director.
Unfortunately the Oscars are much more about what message they're promoting with the films that win awards. The Academy just isn't going to promote a film with Bryan Singer's name strongly attached to it after the recent news that has come out.
"What're those" was a 2014 thing, and it was dead by 2015. There was no one caught dead saying it in 2016, so no, indefensible.
I think people complain about it is a nitpick
