Why would the Brian May and Roger Taylor, who had script approval authority, want to include a scene in which a broken and remorseful Freddie Mercury is portrayed as humbled and has to come crawling back to the band to beg forgiveness and to be let back in? 3/

Again, there's no evidence that anything like this ever happened, and Freddie wasn't the only one who put out a solo album. Brian May and Roger Taylor released solo albums before Freddie. That isn't even mentioned. The conflict is portrayed as all Freddie's fault. 4/

Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the movie, but the way the history of Queen was changed in
#BohemianRhapsody to fit it into a very conventional rock star biopic plot bothered me at particular points. I guess I just know too much about Queen. 5/5Show this thread
