8 Things Bohemian Rhapsody Got Wrong About Freddie Mercury

Bohemian Rhapsody took plenty of liberties in telling the story of Freddie Mercury and Queen! Subscribe to our channel: http://goo.gl/ho3Hg6

Anytime you’re making a biopic, facts tend to change, filmmakers focus on the dramatic, and the life of the person in the movie is portrayed very differently on the big screen than it actually was. This is the case for Freddie Mercury and Bohemian Rhapsody. Despite the accuracy of the songs, outfits, and stage designs, some of the more dramatic scenes featured things that were wrong about his life. Learn about these facts, how different they were from the truth, and some of the more obvious reasons why filmmakers decided to change things up a bit.

One of the most dramatic parts of the movie was when the band broke up in the early 1980’s. Queen may have taken breaks from going on tour, but they never actually broke up. Freddie Mercury also revealed that he was going solo to the shock of other bandmates, but this wasn’t the first time it happened for Mercury or the other members. As the band prepared for Live Aid, there’s a scene where Mercury reveals his diagnosis to other band members, but it was a purely fictional creation. Some of the characters in Bohemian Rhapsody were also made up, including specific record executives. Along with certain executives, the way Paul Prenter got fired was a little different than the movie, but some of the facts remained the same. Watch to see all these Queen and Freddie Mercury facts and things the movie changed or made different to help fit into the movie’s runtime.
