**What is dead may never die.** We can in their public opinion, deny, who we are in an attempt to please, ego. Sadly, in that place between conformity and self-suffrage lies both the salvation and damnation of our character.

There are plenty of opinions as to how authentic this is, as a retrospective on the life of Freddie Mercury; but there can be no doubting that the pairing of Rami Malek and Queen's music makes this a captivating couple of hours of cinema.…

But beyond that, _Bohemian Rhapsody_ is bland, choppy, arguably even offensive.…
