these 2018 musical dramas have left a
market award shows and the box office
but if you had to choose one to see
before the Oscars which should be higher
on your watch list let’s find out
round 1 music Queen easily ranks among
the most iconic rock bands ever while
Freddie Mercury is the very definition
of frontman so naturally Bohemian
Rhapsody has no shortage of immortal
music to work with I want to give the
audience a song that they can perform
songs like we will rock you another one
bites the dust and under pressure are
all well integrated into the narrative
and capture the sensation of attending a
concert speaking of which the live age
finale is marvelously constructed
passionately performed and ends the film
on the highest note possible we’re all
legends
above all else this biopic demonstrates
how queen forever changed Rock mixing
various genres to create a sound that
was practically operatic star is born’
is primarily comprised of original Tunes
most of which were co-written by Lady
gaga
the film’s most celebrated song is the
golden globe-winning shallow a stirring
duet that finds a Lee and Jackson diving
[Music]
throughout the story the music cleverly
transitions from country to pop
signifying the growing distance between
our leads
always remember us this way we’ll leave
you feeling on top of the world while
I’ll never love again we’ll leave your
heart in pieces the fact that many
scenes were shot at actual concerts with
live audiences contributes to the
authentic performances both movies have
pitch perfect soundtracks and even
inspired sing-along versions but it’s
hard to top Queens greatest hits while
the songs and star is born’ have carved
out a special place in pop culture Queen
impacted the music medium in more ways
than one that impact is certainly felt
in Bohemian Rhapsody making it this
round’s champion winner Bohemian
Rhapsody round 2 story Bohemian Rhapsody
chronicles the career of Queen but it’s
factual accuracy has been called into
question some subplots are backed up by
facts like Mary Austin’s lifelong
dedication to mercury in typical music
biopic fashion though the screenplay
fabricates a couple of major plot points
such as the band breaking up and mercury
knowing about his HIV diagnosis before
Live Aid that being said these changes
make sense from a storytelling
perspective and add to the drama without
necessarily betraying the band’s spirit
considering how enigmatic mercury was
you could argue it’s actually fitting
that this dramatization embraces both
the real-life and the fantasy a star is
born is based on the 1937 classic which
was previously remade in 1954 and again
in 1976 being the third official remake
you’d think there’d be nothing left to
do with this tale of love Fame and
tragedy
thanks to Bradley Cooper’s stunning
direction a spellbinding soundtrack and
captivating chemistry between our leads
however it feels like we’re watching
this story for the first time almost
every single person that I’ve come in
contact with in the music industry has
told me that my nose is too big and that
I
make it your nose yeah your nose is
beautiful the screenplay which Cooper
crafted with Eric Roth and will Fedders
maintains the timelessness of its
predecessors while also bringing a
modern sensibility to the narrative
making this the most well told version
of a star is born yet all you got is you
and what you want to say to people and
they are listening right now and they’re
not gonna be listening forever trust me
although both Bohemian Rhapsody and a
star is born’ touch upon familiar tropes
about superstardom they present their
narratives in a fresh and gripping
fashion between the two a star is born
had a more uphill battle since we’ve
already seen the story three times don’t
worry I won’t tell anybody but I’m not
very good at keeping secrets the film
overcame these narrative obstacles which
is reason to declare it this round’s
winner winner a star is born
round 3 lead performances after Sacha
Baron Cohen left Bohemian Rhapsody Rami
Malek was enlisted to play Freddie
Mercury he came in I was like wow this
is Freddie and he wasn’t just acting it
was something that came natural to him
although Malick is an acclaimed actor
this casting choice threw some for a
loop seeing as how he’s best known for
playing the emotionally detached Elliot
on mr. robot you’re different than most
you at least try at least understand
Malick completely transformed himself
for the role however channeling the late
musician’s charisma passion and
distinctive accent to a tee Rami has
just disappeared entirely the way he
moves and talks is so Freddie that it’s
completely magical
[Applause]
the actor did receive some backup during
the film singing portions using a mix of
his own voice Mercury’s recordings and a
sound-alike named Mark Martel yet
Malik’s golden globe-winning performance
is so commanding and enthralling that it
never comes off as mere lip-syncing the
casting Forrest stars born also had many
people skeptical at first as if making
his directorial debut wasn’t daunting
enough
Bradley Cooper needed to prove he had
the singing chops to convincingly play a
famous country singer just watching you
become a musician it’s just it’s been a
pleasure
I remember thinking you were always a
musician yeah that was like all I gotta
do is tell you to practice well we all
know that Lady Gaga can sing her
previous acting gigs had some critics
convinced that she wouldn’t be able to
tackle such a heavy role regardless
Cooper and Gaga wound up making
beautiful music together emerging as
possibly the most recognizable screen
couple of 2018 onion stick with you
their work here is nothing short of
transcendent redefining Cooper as a
filmmaker and Gaga as an actress through
their spellbinding performances Malik
Cooper and Gaga all made audience to see
them in new lights given their
backgrounds however Cooper and Gaga took
the most risks making their performances
the most impressive in the end okay
are you okay you sure have great plus a
star is born has the advantage of
possessing two captivating leads
whereas Bohemian Rhapsody only has one
winner a star is born round for
supporting players rami malek takes
center stage in Bohemian Rhapsody but
this is far from a one-man show Roger
there’s only room in this band for one
hysterical Queen film wouldn’t be
complete without the effect of
supporting work from Gwilym Lee as Brian
May Ben Hardy as Roger Taylor and Joe
mazzello as John Deacon the dynamics
these men share make queen feel less
like a band and more like a family the
outcasts right in the back of the room
pretty sure they don’t belong either we
belong to them Lucy Boynton is just as
crucial to the film’s success as Mary
Austin whose relationship with Freddie
is equal parts poignant heartbreaking
and fascinating an unrecognizable Mike
Myers is also ingeniously cast as a
fictional EMI executive who criticizes
Bohemian Rhapsody for being too long
while a star is born belongs to Gaga and
Cooper the supporting cast does provide
greater insight into their characters
known for being a raunchy comedian
Andrew Dice Clay shows off a softer side
as Ally’s father who wants to see his
daughter’s talents flourish Dave
Chappelle also stretches his dramatic
muscles as Jackson’s childhood friend
taking the famous musician back to his
humble roots the video with the girl
yeah maybe happy man you look like you
Sam Elliott is especially powerful as
Jackson’s older brother who fears the
sibling he’s loved like a son will drink
himself into an early grave
what did you think now we’re gonna take
care of it
well I’m cradling your ass all over the
gut world they all earn their places in
the movie even if some of them come and
go it’s a close call but you couldn’t
make a movie about Freddie Mercury
without the rest of Queen as great as
the supporting cast in a star’s Bourne
might be it’s the Leeds who do most of
the heavy lifting that
another point for Bohemian Rhapsody
winner Bohemian Rhapsody round five
critical and audience reception despite
winning the Golden Globe for Best
Picture Drama Bohemian Rhapsody has a
rotten tomato score of only 62% well
that’s still technically fresh it’s
surprisingly low for a film that’s
performed so well elsewhere it’s
possible that some negative reviews were
also influenced by the controversy
surrounding director Bryan Singer of
course we can also see where various
critics are coming from when they claim
the film is formulaic
and could have offered a more complete
portrayal of Mercury’s sexuality with a
90% positive audience score however
mainstream moviegoers clearly don’t
agree with these criticisms ever since
it premiered at the Venice Film Festival
critics have been going gaga first stars
born amounting to a 90% positive score
on Rotten Tomatoes there’s people who
need to hear what you have to say
musically it’s not normal stuff it’s
really amazing what you’re doing I think
you have it all the masses generally
fell in love with the film as well
sharing the same praise of its direction
music and performances people want to
hear good stuff right there I take it in
when you compare its audience score to
Bohemian Rhapsody though a star is born
is actually 9 percent lower at 81
percent positive so where the critics
favor one film by a wide margin
audiences seem to gravitate towards the
other albeit only slightly either way a
star is born has love on both sides like
the song it shares a title with Bohemian
Rhapsody might have received a mixed
reception from critics upon release but
that hasn’t stopped it from amassing a
legion of fans a star is born meanwhile
was a critical favorite and a
crowd-pleaser right out of the gate
while the reception’s towards both of
these films may change over time a star
is born seems to have a more universal
appeal with box office success and
plenty of accolades to go around these
two movies are both far from being
losers there can only be one champion
here however and a star is born comes
winner a star is born
