I saw it last night and it was a very very good movie. There was the nostalgia aspect of it and there was also the outstanding performance by Rami Malik. Give this guy the Oscar already.

I think that it started out as a two way contest between Rami and Christian Bale, with Bale having the edge. But then Bale did Rami a huge favor in a few of his early acceptance speeches coming across as a bit of a jerk. So when you mix in the politics, I think that Rami had a really good chance. He certainly went into the role with a great deal of respect for Freddie and a desire to serve him well, and it shows.

We saw Vice, and Bohemian Rhapsody. I knew Rami was going to win, I just knew. I walked out and said give that guy an Oscar!!

On performance alone, I'd give it to Bale. He nailed Dick Cheney so well that at times I was convinced they were using old news footage instead of Bale. Rami was also very good, but I'd give Bale the edge. But there's no question there is also a political aspect to winning an Oscar, and Oscar contenders can lose it by not appearing grateful or respectful of the process. Rami has played it very very well - and has not had an easy go given the Bryan Singer connections to Bohemian Rhapsody that he's had to dance around with exactly the right tone. Bale on the other hand has not.

His performance was very good too, but my heart is with Rami. He got Freddie in every way and most importantly, he got Freddie's soul. I have to say, I teared up. Wow, I just realized the first time I saw Christian Bale was 1987's Empire of the Sun. I knew then what a fantastic actor he would turn out to be.

I think he should win. He had to play another human being who was quite outrageous and there was a lot that went into that. If nothing else he already has 3 other awards

I also feel that he has a great deal of respect for not only Freddie, but Queen as well. To me, that's the huge difference between what he did with Freddie and what Bale did with Cheney. Rami respected Freddie enough to really dig in and understand the man he was playing. From the way Bale has talked, he approached the role with disdain for Cheney. While some would say that's because Rami was playing a likable man and Bale was not, I think that great actors search for something redeeming in the most terrible characters. Heck! If Michael Fassbender and Steve McQueen could identify redeeming qualities to be empathetic towards in the slave owner Fassbender portrayed in 12 Years a Slave, I think that a great actor can find something redeeming in any character.

Sure Freddie was likable but Rami made him even more likable. Even in the scenes with Freddie and his excesses you always felt for him. Queen was big when I was growing up and we all loved Freddie, so maybe that is what struck a note with me. Did Bale really get to the heart of Cheney or is it a great surface portrayal? I really have to sit down and watch it, but I get what you are saying.
