Whitney Houston I Wanna Dance with Somebody assistir filme online completo
Assistir filme - https://i-wanna-dance-with-somebody-pt.blogspot.com/
A jornada de Whitney Houston de corista de Nova Jersey a uma das artistas mais famosas e mais bem pagas de todos os tempos.
Essa é a compensação decepcionante com esse tipo de filme biográfico de celebridades. Você pode ter alguns dos assuntos mais fascinantes para explorar com sua história, mas nunca pode arriscar qualquer profundidade real que possa ser desagradável, prejudicial ou - Deus me livre - real. As estrelas são os heróis, vítimas de circunstâncias onde em qualquer outra história, uma pessoa de sua trajetória exigiria tratamento mais rico, maior questionamento e reflexão adequada sobre temas tão filosoficamente carregados como a invasão de privacidade, o abuso parental e conjugal, o vício em drogas e sexualidade fechada.
A vida de Whitney era cheia de complexidades, mas as obrigações contratuais e o olhar atento de sua família e amigos como produtores do filme significaram outro produto final indiferente que aprimora seu talento - como deveria - mas subestima seu ser humano por trás disso, assim como o público fez toda a sua vida. Questões como o aborto de Whitney, a traição de seu pai, o comportamento abusivo de Bobby Brown e seu rompimento forçado com Robyn acabaram e foram resolvidos assim que começaram.
O diretor Kasi Lemmons e o experiente escritor biográfico Anthony McCarten poderiam ter feito muito, considerando que tiveram que amontoar décadas inteiras da vida do cantor em pouco mais de duas horas de duração. No entanto, existem alguns aspectos inspirados. Há uma transformação sutil na personalidade de Whitney, de uma jovem entusiasmada e angelical, mas astuta e astuta, cuja inocência e imaturidade a tornam ainda mais adorável, para uma errática, mas autossuficiente e igualmente astuta e astuta. , mulher de negócios. Seu crescimento é talvez o elemento geral mais interessante de I Wanna Dance With Somebody, presente na sublime micro-atuação de Naomi Ackie. A atriz muda lentamente todo o seu comportamento, desde como seus olhos arregalados transmitem emoção no começo e medo no final, até como seu sorriso vai de genuíno e acolhedor a azedo e amargo. Ackie faz um ótimo trabalho alterando a cor e o tom de sua voz para combinar com a evolução da vida real de Whitney.
Por sua vez, o roteiro apóia essa jornada com comentários ocasionais, mas constantes, sobre o desejo de autenticidade de Whitney e o fardo de ter que fingir ser alguém que não é. Isso está principalmente associado à sua aparência, pois aqueles ao seu redor dizem para ela mudar o cabelo, usar roupas e andar de maneira diferente, mas para o espectador atento, há uma tensão subjacente com gênero e sexualidade que separa cruelmente seu personagem principal de sua identidade principal. . . Sua relação com a religião, seu companheirismo vitalício com Robyn e seu desejo por uma família modelo que desfaça os danos que o casamento dos pais dela causou a ela estão presentes no filme, impedindo que ele fique ainda mais vazio. Você simplesmente não recebeu forro suficiente.

#62 - Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)
roteiro: Anthony McCarten, Peter Morgan | direção: Brian Singer
Freddie Mercury (Rami Malek) e seus companheiros Brian May (Gwilyn Lee), Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy) e John Deacon (Joseph Mazzello) mudam o mundo da música para sempre ao formar a banda Queen, durante a década de 1970. Porém, quando o estilo de vida extravagante de Mercury começa a sair do controle, a banda tem que enfrentar o desafio de conciliar a fama e o sucesso com suas vidas pessoais cada vez mais complicadas. (fonte: adorocinema.com)
Longe de ser excepcional, vale a pena assistir...
... pela atuação de Rami Malek
... pela trilha sonora
... pelas cenas de show
E apenas por isso. Sendo assim, por que não...
... assistir Mr. Robot (com Rami Malek)?
... ouvir uma playlist do Queen no Spotify, Deezer ou, para os mais saudosistas, em CD ou vinil?
... assistir aos shows no YouTube?

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)
See Bohemian Rhapsody at the cinema. It's where the concert and musical sequences will play best and, unfortunately, the film’s numerous weak points will be all the more apparent without that spectacle.
In 1970, Farrok Bulsara (Rami Malek) meets guitarist Brian May (Gwilym Lee) and drummer Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy). With the addition of bassist John Deacon (Joseph Mazzello), the band becomes Queen. Though none, except perhaps Farrok - who renames himself Freddie Mercury – could’ve seen it coming, they'll be the stuff of legends by 1975.
For fans, Bohemian Rhapsody is a dream come true. A chunk of the band’s best songs (there were too many to include them all) are prominently featured. As a bonus, you get to see their “origin stories” as the lyrics, beat, thesis behind the music, etc. are birthed before your eyes. The last twenty minutes are spent recreating Queen’s Live Aid performance and it might as well be a ticket through time but with way better seats. The production is also quite good, particularly the wigs and costumes utilized to make everyone look spot-on.
For its best moments and for Rami Malek's on-screen presence, I recommend Bohemian Rhapsody but there's room for improvement. This isn’t a documentary but that doesn't excuse the straight-up lies. Do a bit of research on when Freddy Mercury found out he was HIV positive or the supposed “break-up” in this film and you’ll see. This isn't a particularly well-written film either. Many important events are crammed together to create a streamlined story that’ll fit the confines of a movie - a generic rise and fall band film we’ve seen many, many times. Within the span of 10 minutes, Freddy calls Mary Austin (Lucy Boynton) his life partner, meets her father, introduces the band to his parents, announces his new name, and gets a phone call signaling Queen's ascent to stardom. These moments of artifice make you question everything presented. That’s even before the overly cheeky moments, the most egregious of which is a Mike Myers cameo - because he brought the film’s titular song back into the mainstream with Wayne’s World - playing a combination of every critic who ever doubted Queen. We're seeing the movie already, aren't we? We get it.
It’s difficult to ignore the omissions and fabrications in Bohemian Rhapsody. It’s obvious the band’s real-life manager, Jim Beach (played in the film by Tom Hollander), heavily sanitized the band's portrayal. If you're going to change things, however, make it for the better rather than to make it more familiar and generic. With that said, it’s a picture you’ll be happily tapping your feet to. The concert scenes so good you’ll be happy to have seen it as long as it’s in a big, crowded theater with the sound turned way up. (Theatrical version on the big screen, December 6, 2018)

This is a much hyped movie. It has its moments but like all based-on-life-real stories, the ending lacks punch for me.
Bohemian Rhapsody is a 2018 biographical musical drama film directed by Bryan Singer from a screenplay by Anthony McCarten, produced by Graham King and Queen manager Jim Beach, starring Rami Malek, Lucy Boynton, Gwilym Lee, Ben Hardy, Joe Mazzello, Aidan Gillen, Tom Hollander, and Mike Myers.

Trivia: Oscar Winners 2019!
Parasite is the first ever non-English language film to win Best Picture (and it is so richly deserved).
Let’s actually knock a bunch of Parasite stats out of the way now, because there are a lot.
Parasite is the first film to win both Best Picture and the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival since Marty in 1955.
With his Best Director win, Bong Joon-ho is the second person to win that award for a film not in the English language. The first was Alfonso Cuarón, for last year’s Roma. By that same token, this is the second year in a row that Best Director and Best Foreign Language/International Feature Film have gone to the same film.
Parasite is the first South Korean film to be nominated in Best International Feature.
Parasite is the fourth non-English language film to win Best Original Screenplay, joining The Red Balloon (1956, French), A Man and a Woman (1966, French), and Talk to Her (2002, Spanish). Of the non-English language winners, Parasite is the first non-European film with this distinction.
Parasite is the twelfth Best Picture winner with no acting nominations, joining Slumdog Millionaire (2008), The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003), Braveheart (1995), The Last Emperor (1987), Gigi (1958), Around the World in 80 Days (1956), The Greatest Show on Earth (1952), An American in Paris (1951), Grand Hotel (1932), All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), and Wings (1928).
Bong Joon-ho is the second Asian winner of Best Director, following Ang Lee (who won in 2005 for Brokeback Mountain and in 2012 for Life of Pi).
Kwak Sin-ae is the first woman of color to win Best Picture.
Parasite is the first film to win Best Director without a nomination in Best Cinematography since The Departed (2006).
Parasite is the eighth Best Picture winner since the Best Picture expansion in 2009 to be directed by someone who had never directed an Oscar-nominated film before: Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker), Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech), Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist), Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave), Barry Jenkins (Moonlight), Peter Farrelly (Green Book), and Bong Joon-ho (Parasite) all had their first nominated film be crowned that year’s Best Picture.
Unadjusted for inflation, Joker has surpassed Forrest Gump as the highest-grossing film to win Best Actor. It is also the highest grossing film (unadjusted) to win any acting category, ironically surpassing The Dark Knight.
Jonathan Pryce (The Two Popes) is the first actor in an Anthony McCarten script to lose Best Actor. The last three scripts that McCarten has written that received nominations were Bohemian Rhapsody (2018), Darkest Hour (2017), and The Theory of Everything (2014), all of which won Best Actor.
Martin Scorsese has become the first director to receive the dubious distinction of having a film go zero-for-ten at the Oscars. Both Gangs of New York (2002) and The Irishman (2019) received ten nominations and won nothing.
Matthew A. Cherry and Karen Rupert Toliver (Hair Love) are the second and third Black winners of Best Animated Short. The first was Kobe Bryant, who won for Dear Basketball in 2017. Cherry is the second former professional athlete to win an Oscar in any category, joining Bryant. Toliver is the first Black woman to win Animated Short.
1917 is only the second film to win both the Producers Guild Award (PGA) and the Directors Guild Award (DGA) and to not win a single above-the-line Oscar. The other film was Apollo 13 (1995).
Similarly, 1917 is only the third film to win PGA, DGA, and BAFTA and still lose Best Picture. The others with this distinction are La La Land (2016) and Brokeback Mountain (2005). It’s worth noting that those two films did what 1917 was unable to do: win Best Director.
Hildur Guðnadóttir is the first woman to win Best Score since Anne Dudley (The Full Monty, 1997), and is only the fourth woman to ever win the award, following Rachel Portman (Emma, 1996) and Marilyn Bergman (Yentl, 1983). She is also the first ever Oscar winner from Iceland.
Between all of the actors who have ever won multiple acting Oscars, all but three have won at least one of their awards for Best Picture nominees. The three who have not are Peter Ustinov (Spartacus, 1960, and Topkapi, 1964), Maggie Smith (The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, 1969, and California Suite, 1978), and now Renée Zellweger (Cold Mountain, 2003, and Judy, 2019).
With Joaquin Phoenix’s Best Actor win, the Joker becomes the second fictional character to win multiple Oscars (Heath Ledger also won for the role in 2008′s The Dark Knight). The only other role to achieve this is Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando won Best Actor for this role in 1972′s The Godfather and Robert De Niro won Best Supporting Actor for this role in 1974′s The Godfather, Part II). Interestingly, both of these roles have won in both Leading and Supporting.
With his acting win for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Brad Pitt is only the third person ever to win Best Picture and an acting Oscar. The others are George Clooney (Best Supporting Actor winner for 2005′s Syriana and Best Picture winner for 2012′s Argo) and Michael Douglas (Best Picture winner for 1975′s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Best Actor winner for 1987′s Wall Street).
Toy Story 4 is Pixar’s tenth win in the Best Animated Feature category. It is only the second sequel to ever win the award -- the first was, funnily enough, Toy Story 3 (2010).
For the third year in a row, the top three films in the Toronto International Film Festival Audience Award have won at least one oscar: in 2017, the top three were Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, I, Tonya, and Call Me by Your Name; in 2018, they were Green Book, If Beale Street Could Talk, and Roma; and in 2019, they were Jojo Rabbit, Marriage Story, and Parasite.
Sam Mendes (1917) is the first director to win the DGA, BAFTA, and Golden Globe and lose the Oscar since Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) in 2000.
After Cate Blanchett’s performance of Katharine Hepburn in The Aviator (2004), Renée Zellweger (Judy) is only the second actress to win an Oscar for playing an Oscar winner. This might not be everyone’s opinion, though, since the real Judy Garland only ever won a non-competitive Juvenile Oscar.
1917 is the first historical war film to win Best Visual Effects since Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970).
With his win for Best Song, Elton John becomes the fourth LGBTQ+ person to win that category this decade, joining Sam Smith (2015), Benj Pasek (2016), and Lady Gaga (2018).
Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit) is the first indigenous person to win a Screenplay Oscar. He is the second New Zealander to win, after the writing team of Peter Jackson, Philippa Boyens, and Fran Walsh (The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, 2003).
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’s Barbara Ling and Nancy Haigh are the first female duo to win Best Production Design in Oscar history.
Kazu Hiro (Bombshell) is the first Asian artist to win Best Makeup and Hairstyling twice. He previously won in 2017 for Darkest Hour.
Weirdly enough, here’s a trend that held true the entire decade of the 2010s: the Best Picture winner was never among the top three domestic grossing of films of the nominees. 2019′s highest grossing nominees were Joker, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and 1917. At the time of the ceremony, Parasite was sixth with a domestic gross of $35 million. Below are the rest of the decade’s highest grossers and winners.
2018: Black Panther, A Star is Born, and Bohemian Rhapsody (Green Book won);
2017: Dunkirk, Get Out, and The Post (The Shape of Water won);
2016: Hidden Figures, La La Land, and Arrival (Moonlight won);
2015: The Martian, The Revenant, and Mad Max: Fury Road (Spotlight won);
2014: American Sniper, The Imitation Game, and The Grand Budapest Hotel (Birdman won);
2013: Gravity, Captain Phillips, and American Hustle (12 Years a Slave won);
2012: Lincoln, Django Unchained, and Les Misérables (Argo won);
2011: The Help, Moneyball, and War Horse (The Artist won);
2010: Toy Story 3, Inception, and True Grit (The King’s Speech won).
