Watch Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” Acted Out Literally as a Short Crime Film

Queen’s “Bohemi­an Rhap­sody”–you can play it on a 1910 fair­ground organ; you can get Siri to sing the song on your iPhone and use it to help explain string the­o­ry; and you can even turn the song into a vir­tu­al real­i­ty expe­ri­ence. There’s noth­ing you can’t do with “Bohemi­an Rhapsody”–down to and includ­ing mak­ing it the basis of a short crime film. “Fred­die” is played by Jeff Schine above; and Deb­o­rah Ramaglia plays “Mama.” You know the script.
