Brian May reveals how he felt when he first watched Bohemian Rhapsody

Brian May 2018

Bohemian Rhapsody is the name of the movie that will be released in the coming days and will tell the story of Queen, especially from the perspective of singer Freddie Mercury.

With an opening date set for November 1, the film has already been screened for film critics around the world and it was guitarist Brian May who spoke about it in an interview for Classic Rock magazine. He revealed what he felt watching the movie.

Read what he said:

“Joy and horror and sadness and all those big emotions. I’ve seen it hundreds of times now, in fragments and eventually coming together, and it still gets me. It’s very emotional. It’s all about Freddie. Yes, we are in there, but the story is about Freddie and that was always the aim.

“Obviously Freddie is so precious to us. One of the great breakthroughs early on was screenwriter Peter Morgan saying, ‘This is a film about family.’ It’s about all the stuff that happens in a family – some good, some bad, the going away, the searching for independence and then the nurture of the family.”

“It’s a film about that stuff, on one level, and then it’s about Freddie’s emerging talent, his amazing resilience and sense of humour.”
