Interview with Freddie Mercury's friend and personal assistant Peter "Phoebe" Freestone 

Very well put ♥💯

the movie made him seem depressing, didn't capture him at all

I so agree. Din't see it yet seen, learmed clips. No offense Rami, yet no one can capture Freddie. Like Peter and Jim.

I SO AGREE. RIGHT ON.

He's a two faced rat bastard

Avengingangel 631 why do you say that?

BlackRoses/Black Coffee I think he tells it like it is. He was on set for 5 months like he said, he’s on record many times saying he’s proud of the movie but there were liberties taken in the movie because they had to fit over a decade of the band’s history into a few hours. Even Paul Printer was the compilation of 3 people I heard Peter say once, and the Hot Space interview had references to other interviews, such as the musical prostitute comment.

Cheap music???? It's Freddie singing Another One Bites the Dust!!!!! Geee

Ta H wtf?! Cheap music? It’s literally Freddie and Queen doing one of the groups most well loved songs! Why are you even here if you don’t know their music?’

Lori Reece cause he knows Freddie would have hated it. There is no way he’d be cool with all the lies, specifically the ones about him.

The movie used Freddie as a scapegoat for tension within the band when even the other members of the band said he was the diplomat of the group who moderated disagreements. I love that the movie brought new fans to Queen. I'm not trying to bash the movie. There were some really great parts in it but it has its faults. I couldn't say weather Freddie would have loved or hated it. I think there are two arguments for that. The first being that Freddie was more than a little vain and I can see where he could take offence to some of the not so flattering parts especially the ones that weren't true. However one of his dying wishes was "never make me boring." Well they succeeded on that front. So maybe he would have loved it. Maybe he would have hated it. We'll never know. But I encourage all new fans to look into the actual history of the band and learn the truth. The four of them are/were amazing. So much better than any movie could ever have the time to tell you.

@@amandab5941 I agree, the movie totally used Freddie as a scapegoat and misrepresented a lot of real events. It’s crazy to see how certain band members have contradicted themselves with things they’ve said while promoting this movie versus things they’ve said before the movie. I truly believe that if Freddie were still alive that this would be a totally different movie. None of us can attest to what Freddie would have thought about the movie, but I think he wouldn’t have allowed himself to be presented like he ended up being presented in the movie. Even though he said don’t make me boring he also said he wanted to be presented warts and all for who he really was, this movie failed to do that. Rami played someone, but that someone was not Freddie. On the flip side, I think he might have gotten a kick out of all the attention the movie has brought back to Queen and him. Lol the only thing I disagree with you on is not bashing the movie, I think the movie sucks. To me, the movie is horrible as a Queen/Freddie movie, and it simply mediocre as a movie about a fake band (I thought the script dialogue was really cheesy). I would have liked to have seen real things in the movie like Freddie and Roger’s clothing stall, more about how John joined, the confrontation between Freddie and Sid Vicious, stuff about their fight with their label (Death on Two Legs), and seen stuff about the actually controversy that led up to Live Aid surrounding them performing in South Africa. But, I’m a Queen nerd, no movie would have ever had everything but to me, this movie didn’t cut it and was kind of disrespectful.

@@Tgirl315 I only hesitate to bash the movie because it has done a wonderful job of bringing in new fans and has the all time best soundtrack of any movie ever. I wholeheartedly agree that the movie does not deserve the hype it got in many respects. I too am a huge Queen nerd and would have loved a more historically accurate story line because the four of them made a much more compelling true life story than the movie presented to new fans who don't know the truth. I have told a few new fans I know that one day I will sit down with them, remote control in hand and pause the movie every five seconds and correct the lies and distortions presented in the movie so that they can understand why I am not a huge fan of the movie.

Amanda LovesEyeliner! Lol 😂 you’ll be there all day if you have to fact check that movie.

opino lo mismo , se olvidan que hay muchos lugares de habla hispana que amamos a freddie, nadie traduce nada, es una pena..

@@aleve3612 ojalá haya por acá algún fan bilingüe que nos haga favor de traducir pues es obvio que a este canal no le interesan los seguidores de habla hispana aún es más se burla de los hispanos hablando la entrevistadora inglés y español y no traduciendo.

Habla español y no traduce, no entiendo

@@verdeazul2012 es lo que se me hace aberrante de esta mujer.

Me puse feliz al ver q al fin alguien de habla hispana iba a darnos más info de Freddie y que va, uffff q tontería la de ella, es ilógico!!!

ya se le agregaron subtítulos aproximados en inglés/español, solo es cuestión de activarlos, saludos.

It's Phoebe idiot

@@avengingangel6319 No need to be rude 🙄

@@Vegan4Life_ oh really? And how exactly would you respond to an idiot?

dirkworld I understand your feelings but as Peter said, they wanted to end on a high note, what better high note than to end at the summit of the band’s career and you have to admit Live Aid was indeed the pinnacle of their entire career, even more so than the song to which the film was named. If they hadn’t brought AIDS into it where they did, the backlash would have been enormous. The way they faded out to them walking off stage to showing the iconic photo of Freddie and giving the notice of his death was very emotional and a fitting way to end the movie. Then to show the real Freddie singing Don’t Stop Me Now brought a smile back to the viewers face. At least it did mine. Some want a sequel, others no. I’d like to see some of the things you mentioned and I’d love to see more of then in the recording studio and the Magic tour. I’d love to see more about Freddie’s solo career. Maybe a TV mini series would be best. But who could play Freddie like Rami did? He truly did channel Freddie in a unique way. At times I had to shake my head and remind myself it was Rami and not Freddie.

Most of all, they made him and Jim get together AFTER Freddie’s diagnosis and not BEFORE: they just cut away half of the drama and despair. Imagine how emotional and fitting it would have been for a movie to show Freddie confessing his illness to Jim and he not leaving his side even knowing to have been damned to the same fate. And, if they wanted to end the movie “on stage”, they could have ended it with Knebworth Park as well, just anticipating the diagnosis by a few months, instead of a couple of years: the dramatic effect would have been the same.

Freddie is Freestones meal ticket. The way Freddie was portrayed in the movie nothing like the beautiful thoughtful kind TRUE Freddie And Brian and Roger went along with it which disgusts me. No Freddie no Queen he was Queen.
