'Bohemian Rhapsody' As A Live-Action Film Is A Frightening Crime Drama

The short film follows a poor boy, from a poor family.

This is the real life. No, it’s not just fantasy: An acted-out version of “Bohemian Rhapsody” exists.

You undoubtedly know the iconic song by Queen — likely because you can’t go to a single karaoke night at a bar without someone screaming it out — so the video creators at Corridor Digital have turned what you already know and love about the song on its head.

They’ve conducted a dramatic reading of sorts with the lyrics, converting the song from a rock opera power ballad into a melodramatic short film.

The enactment features a man who’s killed another man, tells his mother about it, grapples with whether or not he should kill himself, and then decides instead to face the consequences.

It’s awkward and weird, sure, but it’s also extremely fun to watch. After all, you already know the words.
