Video shows just how closely Rami Malek replicated Freddie Mercury at Live Aid

Video shows just how closely Rami Malek replicated Freddie Mercury at Live Aid

The biopic includes long scenes replicating Queen's 1985 Live Aid performance

Rami Malek carefully studied Freddie Mercury's mannerisms in preparation for his part in Bohemian Rhapsody – and a video has now revealed just how much his efforts paid off.
A clip shared on Twitter shows how closely Malek replicated Mercury's moves during Queen's historic 1985 Live Aid performance, widely considered to be the band's greatest on-stage moment.
The video includes both footage from the Queen biopic and from the actual Queen concert at Wembley Stadium. Both play at the same time, next to each other, to help viewers make a comparison.
Malek's impressive timing is immediately apparent: when Mercury punches the air at the end of Bohemian Rhapsody (the 1975 song that gave its name to the movie), so does the actor.
Mercury then grab his bottomless microphone stand – his signature prop – as does Malek.
When Queen (both the real version and the biopic edition) start playing Radio Ga Ga, Malek continues mirroring Mercury's moves, nailing every jump, wave, step, clap, and gesture towards the crowd.
At one point, Mercury switches his microphone from his right hand to his left – and of course, Malek does the same exact same thing in the same exact way in the same exact length of time.
The clip doesn't just highlight Malek's prowess. Gwilym Lee, who plays guitarist Brian May, can also be seen closely following the musician's gestures in the sequence.
Malek previously explained that he worked with a movement coach to learn Mercury's physicality. He watched footage not only of the Queen frontman, but also of those who inspired him, such as David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Aretha Franklin, and Liza Minnelli.
"It was almost more useful at times to watch Liza than it was to watch Freddie himself,” Malek told the New York Times. “You found the inspiration and birth of those movements.”
There has been some Oscar chatter around Bohemian Rhapsody, though official nominations have yet to be announced.
The film, which became a box office hit despite mixed reviews, has received criticism for its several historical inaccuracies, and has been accused of glossing over aspects of Mercury's sexuality and HIV diagnosis.
Malek's performance, though, has received praise.
Bohemian Rhapsody teaser trailer
The actor previously revealed on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon that the mammoth Live Aid scenes were filmed on day one of taping.
"But I thought they must have a reason for doing this," Malek said.
"Because you know, if halfway through we get through this and we suck, they’ll just pull the plug on the whole production, pack it up, and go home, save $60m and we don’t have to watch this B-rate version of Queen for three months.
"When I got the call sheet for day 2 it was like winning an Oscar."

Top 100 Of The Most Influential Photos Of All Time

Top 100 Of The Most Influential Photos Of All Time

1.1Mviews
With millions of pictures taken every day we can easily get lost in the vast world of images. That's why TIME magazine decided to create a list of 100 most influential pictures ever taken. They teamed up with curators, historians, and photo editors around the world for this task.
"There is no formula that makes a picture influential," the editors said. "Some images are on our list because they were the first of their kind, others because they shaped the way we think. And some made the cut because they directly changed the way we live. What all 100 share is that they are turning points in our human experience."
The result they ended up with is not only a collection of superb images, but incredible human experiences as well. "The best photography is a form of bearing witness, a way of bringing a single vision to the larger world." However, this is not the only TIME 100 - previously the magazine has released Top 100 novels, movies, influential people, and other noteworthy lists.

The Terror Of War, Nick Ut, 1972
The faces of collateral damage and friendly fire are generally not seen. This was not the case with 9-year-old Phan Thi Kim Phuc. On June 8, 1972, Associated Press photographer Nick Ut was outside Trang Bang, about 25 miles northwest of Saigon, when the South Vietnamese air force mistakenly dropped a load of napalm on the village. As the Vietnamese photographer took pictures of the carnage, he saw a group... Read More

During a refuelling stop in Newfoundland, they left the plane and asked for political asylum in Canada, which was granted. The couple now live in Ajax, Ontario, and have two children. In 1996, Phúc met the surgeons who had saved her life. The following year, she passed the Canadian Citizenship Test with a perfect score and became a Canadian citizen. In 1997 she established the first Kim Phúc Foundation in the U.S., with the aim of providing medical and psychological assistance to child victims of war

#6 Falling Man, Richard Drew, 2001

Falling Man, Richard Drew, 2001
The most widely seen images from 9/11 are of planes and towers, not people. Falling Man is different. The photo, taken by Richard Drew in the moments after the September 11, 2001, attacks, is one man’s distinct escape from the collapsing buildings, a symbol of individuality against the backdrop of faceless skyscrapers. On a day of mass tragedy, Falling Man is one of the only widely seen pictures that shows someone dying. The photo was published in newspapers around the U.S. in the days after the attacks, but backlash from readers forced it into temporary obscurity. It can be a difficult image to process, the man perfectly bisecting the iconic towers as he darts toward the earth like an arrow. Falling Man’s identity is still unknown, but he is believed to have been an employee at the Windows on the World restaurant, which sat atop the north tower. The true power of Falling Man, however, is less about who its subject was and more about what he became: a makeshift Unknown Soldier in an often unknown and uncertain war, suspended forever in history.

But yes, it is very sad, that so many european countries still not open their borders and few countries have to carry the "burden" alone. This picture made me cry at work (and I am a man), because he remembers me of my own son of the same age.

#8 Earthrise, William Anders, NASA, 1968

Earthrise, William Anders, NASA, 1968
It’s never easy to identify the moment a hinge turns in history. When it comes to humanity’s first true grasp of the beauty, fragility and loneliness of our world, however, we know the precise instant. It was on December 24, 1968, exactly 75 hours, 48 minutes and 41 seconds after the Apollo 8 spacecraft lifted off from Cape Canaveral en route to becoming the first manned mission to orbit the moon. Astronauts Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders entered lunar orbit on Christmas Eve of what had been a bloody, war-torn year for America. At the beginning of the fourth of 10 orbits, their spacecraft was emerging from the far side of the moon when a view of the blue-white planet filled one of the hatch windows. “Oh, my God! Look at that picture over there! Here’s the Earth coming up. Wow, is that pretty!” Anders exclaimed. He snapped a picture—in black and white. Lovell scrambled to find a color canister. “Well, I think we missed it,” Anders said. Lovell looked through windows three and four. “Hey, I got it right here!” he exclaimed. A weightless Anders shot to where Lovell was floating and fired his Hasselblad. “You got it?” Lovell asked. “Yep,” Anders answered. The image—our first full-color view of our planet from off of it—helped to launch the environmental movement. And, just as important, it helped human beings recognize that in a cold and punishing cosmos, we’ve got it pretty good.

#13 A Man On The Moon, Neil Armstrong, Nasa, 1969

A Man On The Moon, Neil Armstrong, Nasa, 1969
Somewhere in the Sea of Tranquillity, the little depression in which Buzz Aldrin stood on the evening of July 20, 1969, is still there—one of billions of pits and craters and pockmarks on the moon’s ancient surface. But it may not be the astronaut’s most indelible mark. Aldrin never cared for being the second man on the moon—to come so far and miss the epochal first-man designation Neil Armstrong earned by a mere matter of inches and minutes. But Aldrin earned a different kind of immortality. Since it was Armstrong who was carrying the crew’s 70-millimeter Hasselblad, he took all of the pictures—meaning the only moon man earthlings would see clearly would be the one who took the second steps. That this image endured the way it has was not likely. It has none of the action of the shots of Aldrin climbing down the ladder of the lunar module, none of the patriotic resonance of his saluting the American flag. He’s just standing in place, a small, fragile man on a distant world—a world that would be happy to kill him if he removed so much as a single article of his exceedingly complex clothing. His arm is bent awkwardly—perhaps, he has speculated, because he was glancing at the checklist on his wrist. And Armstrong, looking even smaller and more spectral, is reflected in his visor. It’s a picture that in some ways did everything wrong if it was striving for heroism. As a result, it did everything right.

#16 Bloody Saturday, H.s. Wong, 1937

Bloody Saturday, H.s. Wong, 1937
The same imperialistic desires festering in Europe in the 1930s had already swept into Asia. Yet many Americans remained wary of wading into a conflict in what seemed a far-off, alien land. But that opinion began to change as Japan’s army of the Rising Sun rolled toward Shanghai in the summer of 1937. Fighting started there in August, and the unrelenting shelling and bombing caused mass panic and death in the streets. But the rest of the world didn’t put a face to the victims until they saw the aftermath of an August 28 attack by Japanese bombers. When H.S. Wong, a photographer for Hearst Metrotone News nicknamed Newsreel, arrived at the destroyed South Station, he recalled carnage so fresh “that my shoes were soaked with blood.” In the midst of the devastation, Wong saw a wailing Chinese baby whose mother lay dead on nearby tracks. He said he quickly shot his remaining film and then ran to carry the baby to safety, but not before the boy’s father raced over and ferried him away. Wong’s image of the wounded, helpless infant was sent to New York and featured in Hearst newsreels, newspapers and life magazine—the widest audience a picture could then have. Viewed by more than 136 million people, it struck a personal chord that transcended ethnicity and geography. To many, the infant’s pain represented the plight of China and the bloodlust of Japan, and the photo dubbed Bloody Saturday was transformed into one of the most powerful news pictures of all time. Its dissemination reveals the potent force of an image to sway official and public opinion. Wong’s picture led the U.S., Britain and France to formally protest the attack and helped shift Western sentiment in favor of wading into what would become the world’s second great war.

This photo served a fantastic purpose to show just how hard lives were and went a long way towards ending suffering. These people received much needed food because of this photo. I'm very glad the photo was taken...but it was staged and part of the story was a lie. Florence was at the camp because her car had broken down and not to sell her tyres. She worked with the photographer to create that pensive look and the photo was edited to remove the photographer's hand as she held open the tent flap. She also lied to Florence telling her the photos would never be published. She earned fame while Florence received nothing. It's a shame because Florence's real story is more interesting and emotional than the made up one.
