Baffling Golden Globes win

-

As a lifelong Queen fan, I was looking forward to the Bohemian Rhapsody biopic but was profoundly disappoint­ed. Rami Malek’s Freddie was undoubtedl­y brilliant, but the storyline was flat, some of the chronology was out of whack, the wigs were terrible and there were lots of inaccuraci­es.

Ultimately, I came to the conclusion that it was a pointless film that never really needed to be made. So imagine my surprise when it picked up Best Film at last weekend’s Golden Globes. In the understate­ment of the century Malek described the film's win as 'unexpected'. Now there’s speculatio­n that it could be in line to pick up the biggest prize at the Oscars. What am I missing? What did others see that I didn’t? Clearly, I’m in the minority because with a current worldwide gross of more than $700 million it is now the highest grossing music biopic of all time.
