What’s not to like about Queen? Bohemian Rhapsody does an excellent job of telling a dramatic history of the band and its forerunner, Freddie Mercury. Rami Malek does an excellent performance. Parts of the movie are like watching a hilarious “How It’s Made” video of some of the best music of the century, parts of it are literally just watching concerts and listening to awesome music. Most importantly, there’s the story of Mercury’s evolution, which is a story arc any writer could only dream of: a British-Indian man abandoning his heritage, struggling to balance love for a woman with being gay, being manipulated by a manager turned lover, being scrutinized by the media, and eventually being able to be comfortable with who he is, all the while using his talent to push the band to create more and more musical innovations. It’s so good.

409. Emma. My favorite characters from this one were these two servants that each scene they were in, the look of utter disdain towards the family members was priceless. I was kind of hoping there would've been a rebellion at some point and ends in a bloodbath, it's not that movie. This is a movie about a girl who can't mind her own damn business. Does she have good intentions? Maybe. So Emma is a matchmaker, and she's terrible at it. However everyone listens to her advice, with disastrous results, probably cause she's cute and rich, not that, that ever influences people's decisions. They certainly don't listen based on Emma's own track record, single since like...forever. Decent period piece, Anya Taylor-Joy looked exactly like you'd think Emma would look like, did a pretty good British accent. Funny and worth checking out. Filmbufftim on FB
