I thoughly enjoyed this film, and a friend is going to see it for the sixth time this week.

I found his life as written to be moving and engaging. The aspect of rampant gay sex is dealt with well, and the contraction of aids. I didn't feel there were any cardboard cutouts or tropes and I was swept along by the music, the emotion and the tragedy.

One aspect I liked about the film was the counterpoint between family, in the widest sense, and hedonism. I think there is a narrative truth in this that resonated with me, was it the actual truth - I hope so.

I was lucky enough to be back stage just before Queen went on at the Live Aid concert and saw their whole set, they really did light the place up, it was electric.
