These days, xiaobian has been swept away by a movie, that is, the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody", which is about the famous British rock band Queen, which makes many fans crazy, including many fans who are not Queen, which is also a very unexpected thing.
The film tells the story of Queen's journey from accidentally forming a group to establishing a style, and then to the band's popularity in the world.
Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, has been called "Britain's first Asian-American rock star", Time Magazine Asia nominated him one of the most influential Asian-American heroes of the past 60 years, and the editor of Rolling Stone magazine listed him as one of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time", and he was called "one of the greatest artists in rock and roll history" and has "one of the greatest voices in all music".
Since it is a biographical film of Queen, it is natural to have Queen's famous songs and classic tracks, including the film's name "bohemian rhapsody" and the familiar "we are the champions" and "crazy little thing called love" and so on. Next, I will review the shocking music in the film with you.
1.《bohemian rhapsody》
The song "Bohemian Rhapsody" not only topped the UK music charts for nine consecutive weeks, but also became the most popular "British hit single" in the Guinness Book of World Records, known as the "rock opera" in the history of rock and roll.
Freddie herself claims that the song is "just casual, rhyming gibberish" with little deep meaning. Band guitarist Brian May, on the other hand, said the song reflected Freddie's character and approach to life.
2.《we are the champions》
Once hailed as the "Best Rock 'n' Roll" motivational award by the world's international singers, the song is now often used in various sporting events to promote the spirit of sportsmanship, and now at major sporting events, the song "We are the champions" is an indispensable inspirational song for athletes.
