Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) directed by Bryan Singer

Promotional post for movie

Catie and I hopped on the metro to go to Bohemian Rhapsody.

When the show was over we tried to construct 10 questions for Aunt Rebecca Johnson, since she is good at giving them to other people.

We have the disadvantage.

Neither of us are Queen fans. 

At least not until last night.

We know Rebecca grew up in that era, so we are afraid she can answer these questions without even seeing the movie.

In no particular order, here are the questions.

Off the Top of Our Heads

1. Name 10 Queen songs.
2. Name all of the members of the band and what they were studying at school.
3. Name the woman who first believed in him and became his dresser, or at least helped him pick out outfits.  Also name the actor who plays this part.

The Rest of the Questions Deal with the Movie

4. Name the actor who plays Freddie Mercury
5. Name the actors who play the 2 members of the band original band.
6. Tell us about 3 great cinematic moments in the movie.
7. What is your favourite line in the movie?
8. Name the man who let the band go in a fight over producing Bohemian Rhapsody, the six minutes song.
9. Name any of the opera(s) that plays in the background of this sound track.
10. Name the man who is Mary’s partner at the end of the movie and the man who is the partner of Freddie Mercury.
11. For a bonus point, name Freddie Mercury’s orignal name.
12. We also shared with each other our favourite costumes of Freddie Mecury

Your reward for taking part in this quiz is that we will point you to a utube of "Somebody to Love" by clicking here.  (Be prepared to give up 5:08 of your life, since just listening to the first few seconds is addictive.)

Want to give us any questions back?

Arta and Catie

Some of the Answers for the Faint of Heart
1. For each person these 10 songs will be different.
2. Brian May and Roger Taylor (astrophysics and dentistry) and John Deacon (bass guitar) engineering
3. Mary Austin played by Lucy Boynton
4. Rami Malek
5. Gwilym Lee, Ben Hard
6. Catie loved the close-ups.  I liked the special effects (ie when the camera comes toward the bus and then goes right through the bus window and continues down the isle of the bus to its back seats)
7.
8.
9. Turandot (and I thought I heard a little Madame Butterfly early in the film)
10. Brian and Mr. Hall
11. Farrokh "Freddie" Bulsara,
12. For Catie this was the black and white checked outfit.  For me it was the costume with the crown though that first cape collar that looked like a butterfly was astonishing.
