After Bohemian Rhapsody

Last Saturday afternoon, Paul and I celebrated his birthday by going to CineLux Capitola Cafe & Lounge to see the just released Bohemian Rhapsody. It is a truly visual treat to enjoy musicals on a big screen and theater quality audio. It is our second wonderful experience since Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.

Unlike Mike Myers who is deeply rooted in his Liverpool family ties and has grown up with playing Rhapsody with his two brothers, I knew very little about the legendary Farrokh Bulsara, more famously known as Freddie Mercury, of Queen. In a little over two hours of seeing the film, I became not only impressed by his path to stardom, but more importantly, fascinated with his determination to do good things in life. 

It is understandable to be intoxicated with success; it is also normal to argue or even fight with family members, for this is what family is supposed to do, as Freddie stated on the eve of the 1985 Live Aid Concert. But whenever a critical moment comes, the family needs to put their heads together by combining their strength and talents to perform important tasks in front of them. Queen did so more than 33 years ago at the Live Aid concert in London!
