Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

Unmemorable Character Study

[6/10 · 3 November 2018]

Don't get me wrong, this is an okay movie. It has all the bits and pieces that a good movie usually has; good acting, a great soundtrack and interesting cinematography - but to me as a film goer and Queen fan, it was in the end, kind of dull and generally uninteresting. Rami Malek playing the main character of Freddie undoubtedly does a good job of it but I personally feel as if this very complex character ends up being 2-dimensional at most; the screenwriters may be more to blame here for this: there was struggle but no unpredictable or even remotely interesting obstacle. The emotions expressed fall flat in the context of the story, and since the story is so well known from the get-go, I feel as if there could've been a deeper dive into the mind of the character we are made to watch grow on-screen. The movie itself seems to pride itself on playing Queen songs and joking about the band being too experimental, and maybe the filmmakers should be doing exactly that, but it just ends up feeling cheap and pandering.

It has me split; I want to like it but however much I try I keep thinking of ways it could've been done better.

Revolutionizing Youtube Comedy:

[10/10 · 29 July 2017]

An amazing idea and a concept so suitable for Youtube, it's changing the game. Throughout the entirety of Season 1 the characters have gone from being just hilarious and relatable to also being well acted and more fleshed out than any other Youtube series.

In the Season 1 Finale, the cinematic tone is nothing but perfectly fitting for the story it is telling, and the skills behind the production really shows in what I see as the frontier of Youtube Comedy and Drama.
