Can a song sum up a whole movie and a whole life ?

So yesterday i re watched one of my favorite movies bohemian rhapsody. And then i realised that a song can sum up the whole life of the legend !

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landside,
No escape from reality

A child from Zanzibar, a war immigrant, manages to make his dream (destiny) come true.

Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy

Because I'm easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter
Me, to me

His arrogance, influenced by his ego and the glory he knows, make him not set foot on the earth.

Mamaaa,
just killed a man
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger,
Now he's dead

Self-acceptance of bisexuality.

Mamaaa, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, oooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

AIDS.. At the peak of his career comes γ@μωαρρώστια. On top of which is the "legend born to be"..

Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all over
The time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Farewell to all. From the beginning, he thought that thanks to all the people who loved him, he was who he was.

Mama, oooh
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

The realization of the inevitable. The love for his mother and the first person who would be vulnerable, who would confess that he was afraid..

So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows...

Standing again and singing until the last day..

Bohemian Rhapsody

He started writing the song in the late 60's

The song was released in 1975

I can't get it out of my head that it is the most prophetic song in History. And I don't care at all if I'm exaggerating.

Immigrant, bisexual, special dentures, 60s-80s and at the same time one of the biggest pairs of balls.

Freddie "THE LEGEND" Mercury ( Farrokh Bulsara ) September 5, 1946 – November 24, 1991

Ps: Huge respect to Rami Malek for his wonderful performance.

In response to your title, Yes, definitely. Bohemian Rhapsody did just that.
Love this content 😍 BR is a fave! I hear it is one song that captures nearly every musical note.

I remember the radio news when he died. Queen was played over and over again for a long time after that...
Some character and some voice.
I still have almost all the tapes (not CD's) that came out :)

About the movie - I have seen it a while ago and I did like it. Though I was expecting something more after all the reviews and noise around it. I dunno.. I was hoping it will leave me gobsmacked for some reason and it didn't. Not as much as I wanted to.
