Art VS Truth in Bohemian Rhapsody - A Quick One - a podcast by Bit-hole Productions

Taking on a biopic is a difficult task. Telling an honest version of history while telling a compelling story is like sculpting with jelly. History has no protagonists, day to day life has no character arch, and reality has no grand finale. Any attempt to make a biopic suffers the terrible choice of betraying truth in order to satisfy a theatrical release, and no matter how fantastic the life, something will be sacrificed.

Bohemian Rhapsody manages to tow this line succinctly, offering a version of Freddy Mercury that’s both gritty and glorious.
