But I must emphasize Rami Malek's role as Freddie. Every major role is perfectly casted, and all the band members are brilliant. As Brian May pinpointed in the interview on the red carpet, he found that the casting was excellent (I don't remember the exact word he used). (And the critics were so wrong about the song Bohemian Rhapsody upon its release). I have read some of the professional reviews, and I cannot comprehend their search of documentary wisdom in this movie this is not a documentary, but an entertaining story of one of the world's most iconic bands. I am whether a megahuge Queen fan (although I really like many of their songs), nor do I know how accurate the storytelling is (, but I suppose pretty accurate since both Brian May and Roger Taylor are co-producers of the film), but I found the movie both intoxicating and moving. The release of the film of the same name in 2018 resulted in renewed popularity and chart success worldwide for the song.Wow! I feel mind-blown after watching the world premiere yesterday evening. In the United States, the song originally peaked at number nine in 1976, but returned to the chart in 1992 after being used in the film Wayne's World and reached a new peak of number two on the Billboard Hot 100. It topped the charts in several other markets as well, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and The Netherlands, later becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time selling over six million copies worldwide. It is also the only song to be the UK Christmas number one twice by the same artist. It reached number one again in 1991 for another five weeks when the same version was re-released following Mercury's death, eventually becoming the UK's third-best-selling single of all time. Upon its release as a single, "Bohemian Rhapsody" became a commercial success, topping the UK Singles Chart for nine weeks and selling more than a million copies by the end of January 1976. The song is a more accessible take on the 1970s progressive rock genre. It is a six-minute suite, consisting of several sections without a chorus: an intro, a ballad segment, an operatic passage, a hard rock part and a reflective coda. It was written by Freddie Mercury for the band's 1975 album A Night at the Opera. "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a song by the British rock band Queen.
