After two long years of waiting, the biopic of the legendary lead singer of Queen, Freddie Mercury is finally hitting theaters. And like any Queen fanatic, I am incredibly pumped to see Rami Malek ("Mr. Robert") portray the icon whose career spanned several decades.

Here are four reasons why you should go see it, too.

Rami Malek looks almost identical to the late singer

In a recent interview from the press tour for "Bohemian Rhapsody," Malek said Kashmira (Mercury's sister) was stunned to meet him on set due to his resemblance to Freddie in his prime. Rumor has it Malek might be nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of Mercury.

Queen is undeniably one of the best bands to come out of the 20th century BY FAR! Like most kids born after 1992, we, unfortunately, live in a world post-Mercury. So what's better than seeing an actor lip-sync chart toppers and I mean if you can't see the original might as well relive it!

The film’s team consulted with family members of Mercury and his bandmates from Queen

A lot went into creating the movie, including the way Mercury's portrayal was going to be perceived on screen. Writers consulted with the late singer's family and bandmates to get a better idea of who he was, the man behind all the glamour. Despite these efforts, there have been some concerns with some historical inaccuracy.

THE COSTUMES

Tumblr

Much work was put into the historical accuracy of the costumes used in the film. This is probably because some of the clothing choices Mercury wore are legendary. According to Julian Day, the head costume designer for "Bohemian Rhapsody," the famous Live Aid white tank outfit took over thirty attempts. But from the looks of the trailer, they got it spot on.

If you're a fan of Queen or not, you should definitely see it. "Bohemian Rhapsody" will be in theaters everywhere Friday, November 2 and the topic of everyone's conversation on November 3.

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.
