An image too many: the contemporary biopic, the historical body, and the documentary footage trope

Abstract This article explores the inclusion of historical footage at the end of biopics. The impact of such footage, commonly appended to recent films, varies depending on the specific film. By drawing on theories of viewership, historical film, ontology, and epistemology, this investigation attempts to shed light on why this footage is sometimes, but not inevitably, troubling. Its analysis of the use of such footage in Bohemian Rhapsody and I’m Not There delves into the viewer’s relationship with images and the complexities arising from the intersection of reality and fiction. By exploring the shifting modes of engagement that influence the viewer’s experience, the analysis suggests that this choice may imply a claim to historical authenticity or truth. In questioning the reasons for the increasing prevalence of this trope in contemporary biopics, this article considers the implications of blurring the boundaries between the real and the imaginary.

Bohemian Rhapsody of Future Drug Delivery Systems: Rational Changes Necessary for the Next Revolution.

Controlled drug delivery technology has matured for more than 70 years, starting from a twice-a-day oral formulation to 6 month long-acting injectable formulations. Further technological advances require superior formulations to treat various diseases more efficiently. Developing future formulations with practical innovations for treating existing and new diseases necessitates our continued efforts to overcome at least three main hurdles. They include (i) drug delivery with reduced side effects, (ii) long-term treatment of chronic diseases, and (iii) the overcoming of biological barriers. Such efforts start with the improved ability to accurately test drug delivery efficacy using proper controls. Future development can be aided by artificial intelligence if used properly. The next revolution of drug delivery systems will be augmented if implementation is given equal weight as discovery. Such a process can be accelerated with the systemic revamp of the research funding structure and cultivating a new generation of scientists who can think differently.

The Blockbuster Biopic Bohemian Rhapsody as an Expression of Cinema/Music Synergy

The study focuses on Bohemian Rhapsody (2018, directed by Bryan Singer, later Dexter Fletcher), the biographical drama that reflects on the extraordinary lives and career patterns of the four members of the rock band Queen, predominantly the band’s frontman, Freddie Mercury. Given the fact that this feature film has changed the way we perceive the economic potential of biopics entirely, we offer an overview of some of the reasons why it was so successful in terms of the globalised film industry. The main objective of the study is to outline the biographical drama’s synergistic tendency in relation to the movie industry and the music business. Acknowledging Bohemian Rhapsody’s unprecedented global success, we work with the assumption that certain biographical dramas can, in fact, become globally popular, partly thanks to the fact that they utilise music as a nostalgia-driven narrative tool making portrayals of musicians deeper and more complex. The assumption is addressed via a theoretical reflection on the given topic and through a qualitative content analysis of the biographical drama Bohemian Rhapsody.

This research was meant to describe the shape of sexuality in Bryan Singer's "Bohemian Rhapsody" (2018) by analyzing the main character from the Queer perspective. Bisexual is a term used to describe relationships of people both with the same sex and the opposite sex for a certain period, including being attracted to or having sexual activity. Bohemian Rhapsody discusses Queen's career journey by showcasing the lead singer as a highlight. Freddie struggles to live in a world of hedonism and stigma, preconceptions, and the erasure of Bisexuality as a social identity.

Translating queer elements in Bohemian Rhapsody in China

ABSTRACT This article investigates how Bohemian Rhapsody’s queer elements were translated in the official subtitled version for theatrical release in mainland China. In the official Chinese subtitled version, homoerotic desires were transformed to homosocial relationships. Approximately four minutes of relevant plot was excised, and the translator chose to deemphasize the taboo, erase the queer, and downplay the presence of AIDS, even at the expense of continuity. The authors apply Marc Démont’s three modes of translating queer elements to Bohemian Rhapsody and analyze its translation. Though homosexuality is neither recognized nor excluded by Chinese culture and law, few queer-related films have ever been released on the mainland. The release of Bohemian Rhapsody shows a new and complex attitude towards homosexuality in China. The translator’s ambiguity about the homoerotic elements in the film is reflected, therefore, in the way that the three translation methods – which are usually clearly divided – overlap. In China’s complex cultural context, a hybrid translation method has emerged.

The studio and the song: synergy and self-mythology in Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) and Mary Poppins Returns (2019)

This article analyses Hollywood’s synergies with the music industry, as well as the cultural and economic relationship between US and UK contemporary media industries. I focus on two films that were released along with soundtrack albums – Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns (Rob Marshall, 2018) and 21st Century Fox’s Bohemian Rhapsody (Bryan Singer, Dexter Fletcher 2019) – in order to interrogate their participation in what John Caldwell calls the ‘para-industry’: the ubiquitous corporate fields that surround the primary media object. By analysing Fox and Disney’s reflexive filmmaking and marketing strategies, I demonstrate how the studios control their films’ reception by mythologizing the industrial processes that enabled their production. I argue that Mary Poppins Returns and Bohemian Rhapsody are the fruit of a number of synergies between Hollywood, the UK film industry, and the music industry that are motivated by the current political, economic, and technological climate, and I demonstrate how Disney and Fox mythologize historical events and texts that were important for fundamentally changing the industry’s relationship to music, such as the original Mary Poppins, the Live Aid concert of 1985, and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ the song.

SELF-CONFIDENCE IN ANTHONY McCARTEN’S MOVIE SCRIPT BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

This research was aimed at conducting analysis on self-confidence in Anthony McCarten’s movie script, Bohemian Rhapsody. The self-confidence was analysed by using the theory proposed by Lindenfield (1994) who states that self-confidence consists of self-confidence born and inner self-confidence. Self-confidence born allows someone to show confidence in what he will do. This confidence can make someone believe in himself to achieve what he wants. In confidence born, he claims that a person must develop skills such as communication, assertiveness and feeling control. Inner self-confidence is self-confidence that gives to the individual’s feelings and suppositions that the individual is in good condition. There are three main characteristics that are distinctive to people who have a healthy inner self-confidence. The three characteristics are self-love, self-understanding, and positive thinking. This research used descriptive qualitative method because the discussion was descriptively accomplished. The descriptive qualitative method was applied to explain the self-confidence to get success from the quotations in the movie script. The result result shows that self-confidence born and inner self-confidence vividly played important role to make the protagonist’s success come true.

Reading the Biopic through Persona: A Comparison between "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Rocketman"

Personas are the public expressions of a private identity, the performance of personality in the social world. They are particularly visible and familiar in the world of celebrity, where entertainers regularly adopt an alter-ego for performance. This has intriguing consequences for biographical representations of performers. Biopic actors are obliged to duplicate the public-facing persona, which is an already-known, semi-fictional construction, and the private individual beneath. The narrative of the biopic must account for this relationship between the persona and the person who authors it. This article explores this process in two high-profile rock biopics, Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) and Rocketman (2019), comparing their different approaches to reproducing and exploring the persona of their subjects in performance, style and mise en scène.
