Bohemian Rhapsody / int_20f689e9	type	Adaptational Villainy
Bohemian Rhapsody / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: Ray Foster is based on Roy Featherstone, Queen's manager, who, unlike the film's portrayal as the band's biggest doubter, was actually their biggest supporter. Particularly egregious is the scene where Queen pitches "Bohemian Rhapsody" as the single. While it's true that Featherstone did agree that the song was too long to be a single, he otherwise loved the single and decided to give it a shot anyway; in the film, Foster notably trashes the song and shows him demanding that "I'm in Love With My Car" be the single. Not helping matters is the last we see of him shows him watching the Live Aid performance, with the line "no time for losers" playing in the background, and that the film is basically demonizing him for invokeddoing his job.

Foster also predicts that nobody will know who Queen is by the end of the year. Mark his words.

Although Ray wasn't the only one, the montage also includes invokedreal negative reviews from music critics at the time trashing the song for also feeling it's too long and thinking they were a Led Zeppelin clone. Much like above, they were wrong about that considering it's in the title of the film.

Bohemian Rhapsody / int_33d5b7f2	type	Adapted Out
Bohemian Rhapsody / int_33d5b7f2	comment	Adapted Out: No mention is made of the soundtrack for Flash Gordon (1980) and its eponymous album released in 1980. Because the film cuts off at Live Aid, it also excludes their later repertoire such as doing music for Highlander (though "Who Wants To Live Forever," written for that film, plays at a dramatically appropriate moment). As mentioned below under Artistic License – History, several albums are skipped out. In particular, Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack are omitted, making it seem like A Night at the Opera was their second album. The film doesn't cover their collaboration with David Bowie and the writing of "Under Pressure"note Bowie makes a cameo during Live Aid with his face obscured, but that's about it. Relatedly, Hot Space is only briefly alluded to (its cover appearing on a standee during a press conference), and the band's Sun City performance in South Africa is completely omitted. Consequently, the only reference to their decline in Stateside popularity during the 80's is Freddie lamenting the backlash towards the "I Want to Break Free" video.

When Freddie does decide to find Jim, it turns out that there are dozens of Jim Huttons living in the UK, prompting Freddie to put off finding Jim until years later.

Bohemian Rhapsody / int_5697c648	comment	Dumb and Drummer: Roger is often portrayed as the Stupid One, albeit sympathetically. Especially jarring is how downplayed his contribution as a songwriter is: Freddie gets a memorable scene composing "Bohemian Rhapsody", Brian gets one composing "We Will Rock You", and John gets one for "Another One Bites the Dust". By contrast, the only song for which Roger is mentioned as having written is "I'm In Love With My Car", which is mostly a Running Gag and mocked by the rest of the band. This despite the fact that he also wrote "Radio Ga Ga", which makes for one of the film's most climactic moments; the fact that Roger wrote it is never mentioned.

The band went on hiatus immediately after the release of the music video of "I Want to Break Free", which in real life, was in 1984; the Live Aid concert took place the following year (it is possible though that Mercury was being hyperbolic). It's worth mentioning however that the timeline of the film is not exact to real events, and for the sake of the story, the release of the music video (and the falling out) could have happened in an earlier year.

Bohemian Rhapsody / int_65bc92fc	type	Four-Temperament Ensemble
Bohemian Rhapsody / int_65bc92fc	comment	Four-Temperament Ensemble: The four Queen members fit quite nicely into the template. Lead singer Freddie Mercury is the Sanguine one, being a self-professed drama queen, extraordinarily flamboyant on and off scene, both cheerful and very melancholic at the same time, having deep-seated relationship problems, and quite undisciplined (he improvises the lyrics on his first gig or comes late to band-related business). Lead guitarist Brian May is the Melancholic one, being way more stable (both emotionally and in his private life) than Freddie is, level-headed, the most leader-like member of the band when it comes to technical approach, and more methodical when composing songs. Drummer Roger Taylor is the Choleric one, being the most outspoken and passionate member of the group after Freddie. He is rather quick to anger (he is shown almost fighting the other members twice) and is a womanizer, trying to make a move on Kash early on and then alluded to cheating on his wife after that. However, he's also more open to show his friendship. Bass guitarist John Deacon is the Phlegmatic one, being quite reserved and almost invisible in comparison to his flamboyant mates, but very reliable and no nonsense when it comes to making music.

Freddie has a very high opinion of his abilities as a singer and performer, with just about everyone in the film agreeing. However, he ends up being arrogant and condescending to an extent that even his talent doesn't fully justify (most notably when he tells the others that they'd be nothing without him even though he was an airport worker before Brian and Roger hired him), causing Queen to temporarily separate. However, he's left unimpressed by his own solo career and blames his crew for doing the songs exactly as he wanted; he admits to the others he needs their input as much as they need him.

It’s also used while still working at the airline at the start of the film, and by Paul Prenter in an interview after their breakup. The bi-erasure towards Freddie's sexuality given the time periods.

He is fully supportive of the band from the start, always deferring to their creative decisions, and tries to broker a compromise when Ray refuses to release "Bohemian Rhapsody" as a single. The only reason he tried to convince Freddie to sign a solo deal was because Paul lied to him about Freddie being on bad terms with the rest of the band. He immediately realizes that he's been set-up and tries to apologize, but Freddie won't have it. When Reid gets fired, their lawyer, Jim "Miami" Beach takes over as the band's manager, and helps to get the band squeezed into a last-minute slot in the Live Aid lineup during their reconciliation meeting.

Brian May actually earned his PhD in astrophysics in 2007. May had already completed most of the work toward the degree, including his doctoral thesis, when the band began taking off. His final defence was put on the back burner for... a few decades.note It's also probably safe to say at this point that many more people have read his doctoral thesis because he's also the famous guitarist for Queen.
