Her Majesty

Queen. 

Honestly, I'm a new fan. Freddy Mercury, the lead singer of the band had left the world as a legend for 27 years yesterday, 24th November 2018. 

Before I knew my husband, I'd only heard about We Are the Champion, and We Will Rock You. I guess my father had liked them - but I was not that sure - he was a bigger fan of Freddy Fender and Andy Williams. Back in 2011, my husband had played their songs a lot when I was in his car, while we were dating - which gave me an idea on knowing how to even sing their songs like Crazy Little Thing Called Love. One song which really made me print out the quote ( or the title ) and put it on my work desk was "The Show Must Go On"... I am a trainer - not the 'fitness trainer' trainer, unfortunately - just some trainer who is infatuated with sarcasm all over the world. 

Anyway, our first trip to Bohemian Rhapsody movie was on 7th November 2018. I liked it. The reason I agreed to watch the movie was my husband. I knew how much he loved Queen. And Voom! After the first time watching it, I couldn't get enough of it. It felt too short - the movie felt too short. I wanted more. It was hilarious. It was dauntingly sad. It moved me because of the confidence Freddy Mercury had displayed ...“We’re just not thinking big enough” was what Freddy said to his band when their car broke down in the middle of the road, on the way to a college where the tickets had been fully sold out. Another thing which moved me was how Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor were just nice people - they were with him! I wanna be friends with people like them! 


I want to break free, indeed.


He did have the looks.

Why did they have fringe? It tickles me.

My father would have very much loved to watch the movie, Bohemian Rhapsody, released in November 2018.

This picture seems really familiar somehow like I had seen them somewhere in my childhood.


And we went to watch it the second time - I just had to! The second time I watched it, I loved it even more. I had noticed things and points I did not notice during the first time we watched it.

Then just 2 days ago - 23rd November 2018, our very first meeting 9 years ago (my husband's and mine), we went to watch it for the 3rd time. I cried the moment they played the scene when he got up from his bed. Damn it.

All I know is that , we will be watching it again next week - FOR SURE!

Update : 1st December 2018.

I was rushing for my assignment last week so I did not complete this blog. Here I am.
I was not even annoyed when a veteran man who came to watch the movie with his family rocked his head at their song during the movie. Well, the third time did not bore me. It ignited even more feelings out of me. I was already in tears at the very first scene of the movie. It just got worse.
And while watching the movie, halfway, I felt pleasant - in the sense that the whole experience of watching the movie was overall pleasant. And then, that was when it hit me. YES! This is the kind of experience I want, watching a movie. Any movie! In ANY CINEMA! And then I realized (I don't even know why I did not even think of this), that the group of people (the market) who chose to watch this movie - are people who were basically more matured than the normal groups of people - the fads. Gosh I am offending anyone who reads this though again, which is no one... but it's true. No one made stupid sounds, or stupid translations, or stupid comments, during the movie. Everyone basically WATCHED the movie - WITH RESPECT. I'm not even sure how to put it in words, but for some reason, better mannered.
I cannot get over the movie or the songs yet - I probably never will.

I'll be watching it again this coming Friday night - for sure!
