Queen Is Most Definitely The Champion In Anthony McCarten's 'Bohemian Rhapsody'

From starting as a small, scattered, unheard of band, to becoming the world's greatest rock n rollers, Queen left an indescribable impact on die hard rock and roll fans and and continues to impact the lives of its people who they so closely touched the hearts of.

From the roaring London stages in the 1970s to touching the hearts of its listeners, Queen knew how to stir the audience with their erratic and entertaining array of rock 'n roll music. The biographical "Bohemian Rhapsody" illustrates the band's initial development and the story of their leading legend, Freddie Mercury. Being exposed to Queen at such a young age and ultimately creating an everlasting appreciation for this band, I couldn't resist seeing the film. There are not too many I can say genuinely hit home, but "Bohemian Rhapsody" was assuredly a very successful hit. From the shocking identicality of its actors, to the revitilization of "We are the Champions" and "We Will Rock You", this film is one you will not regret paying overpriced movie tickets for.

P.S. Sorry in advance, but there are spoilers.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" is unique. Not only is this the first film ever created that illustrates the celebration of lead singer Freddie Mercury, the other band members, and the extraordinary music they produced, it also allows fans, both old and new, to become captivated in the life of Freddie Mercury and the events leading up to Queen's rise to fame.

Starring Rami Malek, the absolute epitome of the real Freddie, "Bohemian Rhapsody" walks its audience through the early stages of Freddie's life, as a witty young man, unafraid to defy stereotypes and accumulate a diverse selection of music that ultimately allows his infamous overbite and charismatic personality to go quite a long way. Despite his father's lack of faith and doubtfulness, a brief encounter with the future Queen allows Rami to first exercise his confidence and hidden talent to heights unimaginable.

Against Freddie's journey of finding his place in an unaccepting and highly criticizing society, to becoming one of the world's most notorious creators of rock 'n roll, the conflicting character alienates his band members to pursue a solo career. He then reunites just in time for the Live Aid concert. Despite his recently devastating AIDS diagnosis, the initially undervalued Freddie successfully leads the band in one of the world's greatest performances in the history of rock. After all the ups and downs throughout the band's career, this performance was the finale to "Bohemian Rhapsody," leaving the audience inspired by the fascinating replication of the iconic Freddie Mercury and his everlasting impact and legacy in rock 'n roll history.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
