    Yes, but hammering #BohemianRhapsody into a conventional rock biopic structure (initial success, drugs; falling in with the bad people; breaking up the band; the realization he's being exploited; coming back to the band; the triumphant return) has distorted the story. 1/https://twitter.com/Scientits/status/1059098813611339776 …

    I respect the band’s right to tell the story *they* wanted to tell. We’re not entitled to more than that. Freddie would have hated the gory details of his private life being put in a movie after his death, and the band wouldn’t disrespect his memory.

        The "make up" scene in #BohemianRhapsody, in which Freddie Mercury basically begs the rest of the band for forgiveness and to take him back (and in which the band humbles him before taking him back) was particularly irritating, given that it never happened. 2/

        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. 5/5
