I knew I loved the music of Queen....knew very little about the band...I was busy raising a young family. This movie was great....easy to watch...the actor who plays Freddie Mercury did a great job. I hope Oscar gives him a nod. This story happened not that long ago....yet it seems like a different world...Freddie Mercury coming to realize he sexual preferance at the dawn of the aids crisis. So sad and bittersweet. Loved this film.
