A Hollywood-Polished Tribute To Rock Music Heavyweights - "QUEEN" - And The Beautiful Music They Created.
23 February 2019
First:

"When it comes to real rock-stars. We all know the story, right? Tons and tons of Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll. And it is no secret that Freddie Loved to party "

In my view the production only had two ways to go:

  • The darker more fact-based story behind music production, the industry itself, the changes that occur in a person and the life they live when success and fame reach a level that high. This usually leaves the viewer stuck in a never-ending "true or not"-debate filled with people who were nowhere near the event in question.


OR - You tone down all that and show people the sheer beauty of what they accomplished and created. Both are equally true anyway; one side is being a fan - rocking out with thousands to amazing music. The other is the work side of it.

I am SO HAPPY that they made this film about the Music! About Queen! and what these four incredible people gave to the rest of us! We are talking about Queen, not every individual little problem they faced as individuals, but as a high grade , world class, rock band.

They handled the scenes involving the heartbreaking diagnosis of Freddie's decease with a lot of respect and even managed to turn it into rocket fuel to propel us into the grand final which plays out magically as a tribute to one of the greatest performers on all time. Rami captured his unique movements and unbelievable stage presence beautifully, with great editing that highlights the connection he had to the audience, his amazing vocal range, and that big-arena reverb, it sounds absolutely fantastic!

Did we need to go as far as having the story pushed down into a fully formed "Hero's Journey"- Narrative? Probably not.

But hey! It works! The movie came out beautifully. The Acting, The Sound, and The Scenery is an achievement in itself.

This movie is FUN to watch, it fits all ages, and is guaranteed to leave you with a smile on your lips!

Now, just sit back and watch the real Queen of England make the stage his kingdom and put the world in motion!

In my view the production only had two ways to go:

  • The darker more fact-based story behind music production, the business itself, the change that occurs in a person and the life they live that comes with success and fame on that level. This usually only ends with an over-debated "true or not" never-ending afterglow.

  • They made the heartbreaking diagnosis of Freddies decease into a tribute to one of the greatest performers on all time. They captured his unique movement and unbelievable stage presence beautifully. Add his connection to the audience together (of course) with an amazing vocal range. It sounds absolutely fantastic!

Now, Just sit back and Let Freddie show you how to become King and Queen at the same time!

I Loved This Show!
8 January 2018
To be clear. I do not practice religon in anyway, nor do i condem it, if you are religious and that is helping you in living a better and happier life, then I'm HAPPY for you, you found something in your life that gives you comfort and makes life a little easier :)

That's what a want for all humans on this planet.

Look, set aside race, religon, jobs, economi, borders etc etc. IT IS HARD BEING A HUMAN BEING, it really really is. Where ever you grow-up or end up.

Look, I try being a good person, i'm not racist, or sexist, If I see something wrong or someone being treated wrong in front of my eyes I intervene, I treat everyone the same until proven otherwise, I have no anger in my heart. I get angry sometimes, I party and hang out with my friends, go to work every day, working generally sucks, but I do it anyway,

seeing people happy is a great feeling, seeing people sad or worse is very very unpleasant.

I did not learn this in a book. I learned it by interacting with all kinds of people through out my life, and just a being part of this world.

Morgan Freeman, is openminded, kind, and respectful in all his encounters with people from all walks of life. WHEN you act this whey torwards people you can ask the heavy questions, the sensitive questions, and get true and honest answer in return.

THE REASON for this is because the question is comming from the right place. And Morgon Freeman does this BRILLIANTLY, he is informed and insightful, and conveys his questions as a true getlemen and a class act all the way.

This is a really interesting documentary on the human condition and our ways of dealing with Prelife - Life - Living - Death - The Afterlife.

To be honest, I don't care what happens after I die. It does not scare me nor does it please me. It is what it is, and it happens when it happens, and I'm OK with that.

Rated it 9/10

The Lion King (1994)
10/10
This Will Restore Hope in Your Heart
23 July 2017
  • In 1994, I was 9 years old when my aunt took me to the local cinema to see


the "new animated Disney Film" called "The Lion King"

  • I'm 32 now...In all honesty, the world has changed a lot since -94. In life and in


the world we all live in. I wouldn't say that I'm worried about the future. But I

think we all feel the ground shaking beneath us....

  • The projector started rolling and "The Lion King" came on the big screen. ..


From the very first scene, I was BLOWN away! - The Music! - The Colors! - The Characters! - The Voices! - The Story Line, Drama and Comedy!

In this adventure, EVERYTHINIG comes together so amazingly perfect. It made me "choke up" for the first time, it made me laugh out really loud, I was captured from the first frame to the last.

"The Lion King" is arguably the best animated feature film to date. The film is flawless, an absolute masterpiece in animation. It deals with great loss, hope, friendship, love, and despair. It strokes every emotional string you have! Trust me.

This is truly a film for everyone!

Your age, gender, what country you're from, or currently live in is irrelevant. This film will capture you in ways that will make you remember what being human is, and will leave you with that extra special feeling that if experiences like this exists? Maybe things are going to be alright after all. 😊

My dear friends!

This is a film you shouldn't miss! It is a TRUE masterpiece in every aspect! Let these 1,5 hours be part of your life!
