"The windy position, the streamlined equipment, the confident expression, the full pace, and the bright red scarf."
This comment, which has been circulating for many years, accurately summarizes the impression of domestic queen music fans on Freddie Mercury.
The closing ceremony of the London Olympics in 2012.
The penultimate song begins with a "deceased" and two elderly people in their 60s.
When the drums were played, the audience suddenly sounded a neat clapping and stomping sound, and the chorus was like a slogan.
As in 1985, the Live Aid charity concert.
The song that resounded throughout the London Bowl was called "We Will Rock You."
The two white-haired old men were Queen guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor.
The person on stage who exists in the "virtual image" is Queen's lead singer Freddie Mercury.
Despite being dead for more than twenty years, he can still make the fans sing passionately.
Images of Freddie at the closing ceremony, fists clenched, leading vocals, powerful poses, and gorgeous attire,
Exactly like his last tour before his death.
Although Freddie Mercury died on November 24, 1991, his legendary story and musical achievements remain influential.
The musical biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody", which featured him and Queen, grossed $600 million worldwide, becoming the "highest-grossing musical biopic in film history".
Freddie Mercury is a musical genius, but also a marginal figure with an extreme personality.
He and Queen's flamboyant stage costume style was a trendsetter in the '70s.
He had six lovers, and was at the peak of his worldly status but was always hurt by love.
This tough guy who looks at the world on the stage is a different look in life.
Let's take a look at Freddie Mercury's legendary life outside of the movie.
As one of the "Greatest Hundred Britons", Freddy is of Indian descent.
His Indian family, who originally lived in Zanzibar, East Africa, had to move with his family to London, England, because of the turmoil.
The Freddys believe in the ancient Zoroastrianism (also known as Zoroastrianism), which is rare in Britain.
Freddy's father, who is proud of being Parsi, says that he asks his son to "face himself."
Toothless, immigrant, alien, Freddy's life is difficult.
The label of "alien" can make the strong tempered, but also make the weak fall into hell.
Freddy is a typical "borderline personality", shy and shy to people in private, but radiant and powerful on stage.
Asked to join the band, he said:
"I'm born with four more front teeth than others, so I have a wider vocal range."
He does have an impressive vocal range spanning four octaves (F2-E6).
But what really makes him "great" is his dramatic and gorgeous performance, his control over the audience's emotions, and his rich and varied stage styling.
Freddy has been hailed as one of the "greatest performers" in the history of popular music.
Regarding Queen's gorgeous and varied stage looks, Freddy once said:
"I'm happy to wear those clothes on stage because the audience isn't seeing a show, it's a fashion show."
In terms of musical style, Queen blends rock, opera, heavy metal, pop music and other genres, and Freddy's stage style is very distinctive in each period.
In Bohemian Rhapsody, the film's costume team consisted of 38 people, and nearly a thousand pieces of clothing were used during filming to restore the appearance of the Queen band members.
It is difficult to describe Freddy's varied and gorgeous style in a specific genre.
Bohemian, ballet-inspired jumpsuits, deep V tights, sequined jumpsuits, black patent leather leggings, and even Japanese-style bathrobes are his classic images.
He prefers the kind of elastic and flexible clothes that allow him to show powerful stage movements and run offstage to interact with the audience.
In his heyday, Freddy cut his long hair short, grew a beard, and became a tougher guy.
"I was so powerful on stage that it seemed to create a monster...
A strong tough guy, the object of sexual fantasy, arrogant and arrogant. ”
It wasn't until he sang "We Will Rock You" in Madison Square Garden that he finally got closer to the classic image of "bare upper body and wearing a narrow red scarf".
The "god-level" detail restoration of the film is the 20-minute "Live Aid" charity concert at the end of the film.

Even the thin-soled boxing shoes of Adidas under his feet, the armbands of Robert Alsop on his upper arm, the jeans of Wrangler on his lower body, and the metal belt are all the same model remanufactured by the original manufacturer.

Standing side by side on the stage are Freddy's "lost and regained" band partners.
Watching him from the stage were the two most important lovers of his life.
During the promotional period of the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody", the main creators were often asked this question:
Which song from Queen best describes the life of Freddie Mercury?
They answered with a surprisingly consistent answer: "Somebody To Love."

Due to the limitations of duration and theme, the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" only records Freddy's two lovers.
Marry, the first and only female lover, became his lifelong friend.
Even after "coming out", Freddy still said in public many times that Marry was the most important person in his life.
Queen's "Love Of My Life" was written by Freddy for her.
The second, Jim Hutton, was the companion who accompanied Freddy for the last six years of his life.
According to the available information, Freddy had a total of six loves during his lifetime.
1、Mary Austin(1970-1975)
In reality, Freddy met Mary Austen through an introduction by Queen's guitarist Brian May.
Mary had been emotionally and financially supporting Freddy in the early stages of her career, and together they were selling second-hand clothes at a stall at a market in Kensington.
At the same time, in the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody", it is Mary who guides Freddy to put on a burgundy velvet suit and draw eyeliner to help him find his own style.
In his will, Freddy left most of his property and copyright to Mary.
Mary and her husband and children moved into Garden Lodge, where freddie lived, three months after his death.
2、David Minns (1975-1978)
When David met, Freddy was still in a state of incomplete uncertainty about his sexual orientation.
It was his first male lover.
He hides his true relationship with Mary from David, who learns the truth and asks him to make a choice.
Freddy agreed, and after saying goodbye to Mary, they officially moved in together.
After the breakup, Freddy still hopes that the other party can stay in his life as a friend.
David refused.
3、Joe Fanelli(1978–1981)
Joe's presence is not mentioned in the film Bohemian Rhapsody.
In fact, Joe is the third person to accompany Freddy throughout his life after Mary and Jim.
After the two broke up, Freddy begged the other to stay, and Joe eventually stayed with him and became his cook.
Even with a new lover, Joe and her boyfriend have been living in Freddy's home, Garden Lodge, and have cared for Freddy until his death when he was seriously ill.
Years later, Jim told the media in an interview that joe had contracted AIDS while Freddy was suffering from AIDS and was too weak to work as a cook.
Even so, Joe dragged the sick body and tried to continue to take care of Freddy.
A few months after Freddy's death, Joe also died.
Around 1980, under the deliberate control and guidance of manager Paul, Freddy began to frequently enter and leave same-sex places, bars and baths, and lived a dangerous and depraved life, pursuing cocaine and sensory stimulation.
This period of indulgence brought about AIDS that led to Freddy's early death, and two short-lived romances full of violent betrayal.
4、Bill Red (1981-1982)
He had a bad attitude towards Freddy.
In a quarrel, even Freddy was injured, and the blood flowed out stained his hands.
5、Winnie Kirchberger (1983-1985)
Winnie, a German national, also had a bad relationship with Freddy, but they were still together for nearly two years.
It wasn't until Freddy finally met her last lover, Jim Hutton.
6、Jim Hutton (1985-1991)
Six years, it was the longest intimate relationship in Freddy's short life.
After being diagnosed with AIDS, Freddy once asked the other party to leave him to ensure his safety, but Jim told him: "I love you, I will not go anywhere." ”
Although the law at the time did not allow for same-sex marriage, the two carried their wedding rings until Freddy's death.
At the burial, Jim placed a teddy bear in Freddy's coffin.
It was a gift from Jim when Freddy was suffering from AIDS.
In six years, Jim witnessed his lover's strong body at his peak, tormented by the disease little by little to the bone.
Documentary footage of Freddy's interview↓
Freddy last recorded a video with the band on the single "These Are The Days Of Our Lives."
(The time we spent together).
At that time, he was terminally ill, thin and unsightly, and his right foot was also festering extensively.
To hide his true condition, his face was coated with thick grease powder, and the final picture was played in black and white.
Even so, there was still a fatal attraction in his eyes.
"I still love you," was his last words on camera.
This inseparable love is the consolation of the last days of Freddy's life.
As he told the media:
"I don't have to fight anymore, to prove myself, because I'm fully understood.
I finally found the place I had been seeking all my life. ”
Rami Marek, the new Oscar-winning actor who played Freddie in the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody", said this:
"When you see him holding 70,000 people in the palm of his hand on stage, you wonder if at some point he expects to be held in the palm of his hand?"
Yes, he finally found the man.
