Literal Bohemian Rhapsody (analysis)





This short thriller film uses the lyrics from bohemian rhapsody as its dialogue, bringing the songs lyrics and meaning to life with clever precision and attention to detail. The lyrics they chose to use in this short lends very well to a convectional thriller narrative. The opening lines are used as the standard thriller establishing shots with narrating from the main character as the shorts opening this clearly sets the tone to the thriller. The next scene uses the next part of the lyrics to build the critical conflict at the end of a thrillers 1st act. The next scene is the classic 2nd act where the tension builds up to the final act exploding into the conclusion scene where the main character dies, the main character dying at the end of a thriller is a common thriller cliche appearing in films such as
Black Swan (2010) and The Departed (2006).
