Today, the film exposes a "drummer behind-the-scenes special", in which Ben Hardy, who plays Queen drummer Roger Taylor, reveals the interesting things behind the shooting, and constantly emphasizes his admiration for Queen lead singer Freddy.

Countless drum practices, unselfish imitation of accents just to recreate rock legends

Bohemian Rhapsody is a feast of homage to Queen, a journey of love, pain, acceptance and music. Queen band member Roger Taylor is recognized as one of the most influential drummers of the 1970s and 1980s, not only for his superb percussion skills and creative talent, but also for his distinctive sound with very heavy metallic colors. In 1967, Roger went to London to study dentistry, but he soon got bored and transferred to the University of East London to study biology and earned a bachelor's degree.

Roger Taylor was no less influential in Queen than the other members. In addition to the amazing high notes in "Bohemian Rhapsody", he is almost an all-round musician, and in the song "I Wanna Testify", he arranged all the soprano, soprano, tenor, and bass parts, switching between different ranges with ease, and the singing ability and lead singer Freddie Mercury are absolutely on par. He wrote Queen's classic hit "Radio Ga Ga", which later became the inspiration for Lady Gaga's stage name!

Playing Roger Taylor, a legendary drummer who has learned both arts and arts, is extremely difficult for Ben Hardy. In the special, Ben Hardy, who plays Queen drummer Roger Taylor, constantly emphasizes his admiration for Queen's lead singer Freddy: "He was a brilliant composer who was responsible for creating classics like Bohemian Rhapsody, which will be remembered until we stop thinking." At the same time, in the special edition, he also relived various interesting things during filming and his understanding of performance.

Whether it's Queen's classic repertoire of the year, or the movements and dynamics of each band member, Ben Hardy said, "I work closely with a very good drummer coach and basically spend 10 hours a day practicing drumming. What I'm going to do is to show his acting style as much as I can, not just be good at drumming. ”

Speaking about his understanding of the performance, he said: "My job is not to become them, nor to impose their style, nor to become exactly like them. My job is to emphasize accents as much as possible as a way to show loyalty to the script and serve all of them. In the film, Ben Hardy and the young Roger Taylor are equally long-haired and eyebrow-raising, equally dashing and uninhibited, and his divine restoration of the character archetype is accurate to the shape, action, accent, and all aspects of the extreme.

Admittedly, every actor in the film is played to the fullest, and the film is no different from the performance of Queen at the "Save Lives" big rock concert in 1985, and Greg Brooks, the archivist of Queen, commented: "You will really feel as if you have traveled back in time through a time machine." The film finally presents an epic restoration for every fan and music fan, so that every movie fan enjoys an excellent audiovisual feast.
