    10/10

    An surprisingly execlent documentary , realized by BBC (from wher the surprise come), My skin was goose bumps and i cry until dishrdrating , when i heard the music of my favorit group when i was a teenager and see the crowds at theiir concerts. Altthought i know all i possibly to know about Queen, the movie touches me very deep. It's amazing at Queen the fact is the single band with same melody sounds diferent everytime you heard it. Every time you discover something new. Today music is worst than car.alarm. Inferior formes of life like Armin Van Buren , Justin Beaver , Lady Gaga Beyonce , Niki Minage and almost al l are called musicians. They have nothing to do with music. They are producind only noise polution.

    Emotional!!

    I'll put the header as a warning !!

    This whole documentary is an emotional journey . When we look back now at those years and our very blinkered views .

    This was a heartwarming tribute to a wonderful singer songwriter that adored life and showed it . Taken far to early through nothing more than loving life

    If it doesn't put a lump in your throat and a tear in your eye !!

    Truly grateful for this documentary

    I won't give any spoilers; just want to write I'm so thankful for this (and trying to find re-air in US) as it felt I learned more about Freddie's truth...

    He seemed an angel for me as his music was so excellent; and I thought his bandmates and he were special relationships not many of us are lucky enough to have.

    To share their deepest feelings in this doc was proof of the love Brian, Freddie, John, and Roger, and others felt. Truly a great tribute to those we've lost...

    I want to add, in the early 90s when in the corp kitchen for morning coffee, the TV blasted that researchers found HIV and/or AIDS was NOT a "gay disease"; dishes clattered to tables and floors and gasps were heard... we all knew we all could fall to these diseases... and those who disparaged "gays" worried the most, I think...

    King

    He'll live forever to me, until I'm alive.

    Sometime I wish I was older, so that I could've lived at the same time as he did, to have a chance to meet him.

    He is what I CALL : A MUSICIAN.

    A singer, a Legend.

    Freddie amazes, again

    Queen were a massive pop band with a long string of catchy, distinctive hits, fronted by the extraordinary Freddie Mercury, who sadly died of AIDS. This documentary tells the story of his final years, and of the concert staged to honour his death. In small doses, I love a bit of Queen, but sometimes it seems that the surviving band members do nothing else in their lives these days but milk the nostalgia. Moreover, it seems that Freddie did his dying away from his working; although messars May and Taylor speak sensitively and sympathetically about their bandmate, it's also clear they had minor roles in his "final act." So I liked this documentary, but there's not a lot here that anyone interested won't have been before.
