4 secrets to success of Freddie Mercury that we have learned from the "Bohemian Rhapsody"

"Bohemian Rhapsody" - biographical film directed by Bryan Singer about the fate of the British band leader of Queen Freddie Mercury - has become a major box office hits of autumn 2018. The picture is not only tracked the career of the artist, but also has placed clear emphasis on the fact that it helped Freddie so clearly express themselves and to achieve international success. Here are the key points.

1. Accept the fact that you are "not so". That he can become your greatest strength

The "Bohemian Rhapsody" (the story is, incidentally, somewhat at odds with the real events) have two interesting episode.

One - about how Mercury's first encounters with two young musicians. Later, they will be included in his group, and even become the closest of friends. However, when you first meet the boys taunt Freddie. Their duet has just left without frontman Mercury offers himself as a vocalist - and hear from the drummer Roger Taylor: "Not with your teeth, buddy!"

Second episode: many years later, Mercury gives an interview to a group of journalists. Perky reporter wondered why, having earned so much money, the musician still has not bothered to clean your mouth? Freddie retorts: "And why do not you first put in order its own manners?"

At Mercury was indeed innate feature - four extra tool, because of which the upper row of teeth considerably bulged forward. However, the singer himself believed that it is this feature gave it a unique vote. Former assistant leader Queen claimed that, although Freddie and embarrassed because of this disease, but still was grateful to her, and never tried to correct the bite.

2. Be that person that you want to be

Actor Rami Malek, Freddie embodied on the screen at once agreed that dental is particularly important. And even began to wear a special patch on the teeth for a year before filming - to get used to, realize that Mercury could feel living in a society with such a prominent "white spot". Later, in an interview with Vanity Fair Rami he said:

He was calling the man who refused to be inconspicuous or ottortym in shadow. Freddie was impossible to hang a label. All he wanted to do - to reveal their own real "I". And yet - to his audience, the audience had the opportunity to open up as well.

Sometimes reveal their true "self" - then forget about that person that you had to be a child. For Mercury is meant to change the name (the real name of a showman - Farrukh Bulsara) and refuse restrictions related to the origin, to become the most vivid, free and giving freedom singer.

By the way, research psychologists show that allowing yourself to be who we want to be, we begin to feel more prosperous and happy life.

3. Risks and trust your inner voice

"Bohemian Rhapsody" - the original viscous composition at the intersection of opera and rock, Queen recorded in 1975 - is now considered a masterpiece. And many people forget what it cost to bring this Mercury single in rotation and with some indignation of critics faced. Nevertheless, Freddie and his team did not doubt for a second.

When Queen producer Ray Foster (he plays in the movie Mike Myers) began to insist that such a long song It can not produce a single and isolated from the album "Night at the Opera", because there is no station will undertake to play her, Group simply fired Foster.

However, after a couple of years, Mercury admitted in an interview, saying that the musicians did not rule out the possibility that the song will be a failure. But we decided to take a chance.

It is clear that by writing the composition of nearly six minutes, we cross some boundaries established. In the text, "Rhapsody" was a lot of words, and the record company did not want to edit it again. But we thought that in such a case, the recording will be meaningless. It is necessary either to listen to completely, or not listening at all. And yet we think that awaits us or crushing failure or resounding success.

It is interesting that even a contemporary of those events, the famous Elton John asked contemptuously its general manager to the Queen: "You're crazy?", pointing out that the song is too large for radio.

Elton John, like many other critics wrong. It is the "Bohemian Rhapsody" Queen made known to the whole world and has since sung at almost every concert of the band.

4. Follow the advice of Mercury's father, but as you understand it yourself

Directed by Bryan Singer revealed Mercury's father as a man who disappointed passion son to nightlife and theater. In the film, Bomi Bulsara and then convinces Freddie to become more serious, and follow a simple motto: "Good thoughts, good words, good work."

In the end, Freddie really begins to live in his father's precepts. Only in their own understanding. In one of the tapes Mercury episode explains the potential group of managers that they are Queen - Champions at odds:

We are losers who do not even place among the other losers. We're outcasts. Those who are constantly in the background, but feels that even there they have no place. Here among whom we belong.

Thus, good ideas, words and deeds of Mercury were directed at all those who can not find their place in the world. All misunderstood and rejects.

In the episode where the father and son meet for the last time, Bomi Bulsara still admits Freddie lived up to his expectations. In this scene, Mercury comes home to meet the family of her new boyfriend Jim Hutton (who will remain with the musician until his death). He also tells the family that plans to perform at a charity concert to raise funds for the fight against Hunger in Africa - on the Live Aid in 1985, the legendary festival, where a powerful performance Queen.

"Good thoughts, good words, good work. Everything you taught me, Dad, "- says Freddie father before leaving. This is one of the most moving scenes of "Bohemian Rhapsody" father silently approaches the son and hugs him, recognizing this, that he took a child and as a person and as a creator.

July 13, 1985 at Wembley Stadium in London of Queen eclipsed the rest of the Live Aid, once again brilliantly performed "Bohemian Rhapsody." This hit film sounds particularly piercing because viewers already know what will soon end the story of Freddie.
