What a pleasure, in the great reconstitution of Live Aid, to hear the end of the KILLER (ah,ah) version of Sultans, prior to Queen's entrance ! Although I was a bit pissed that Dire Straits was not even mentioned in the list of great artists that would perform on that day...
This makes me think, has Mark and Freddie ever spoke about each other ? Very different styles, both musically and personally (Mark is as quiet as Freddie was excessive), but two musical geniuses, each in his own way...

I'm just back from the movie about Queen, and I loved it, despite all the controversies about it.I have seen this yesterday also an insult to DS because they said: no phones (people who donated money) after Mark Knopfler. If PC has balls he calls Bryan Singer and askes him for a declaration, wtf Singer wanted with this scene. A very good movie but A BIG INSULT TO MARK!

I think Bryan Singer has bigger concerns at the moment to be honest.

The whole doco is very entertaining and informative, Part 2 chronicles the Day

The Rhapsody film is just an extended band promo, of course they would emphasise the time of day when the money started to roll in. Most folks would have just been enjoying the show for the day part and then when things got serious there really was a public response. I remember persuading my parents to donate 5 pounds :)
Edit - Bicknell features prominently throughout this documentary (end of Part1 especially) if anyone hasn't seen it.

I'm not so sure it was an insult to MK. They wanted to say that Queen was the one who brought more money than any other Groups that were performing on Live Aid.... Who wants to Live Forever?? Freddie is gone but Mark is alive.. So who's the winner after all these years and who cares ???I'm just back from the movie about Queen, and I loved it, despite all the controversies about it.I have seen this yesterday also an insult to DS because they said: no phones (people who donated money) after Mark Knopfler.

Thanks Pottel. Gosh I hate these competitions all the time. Queen was a fantastic Group. I love their music but Freddie was the one who made it possible for the others. And then when he tragically passed away, they tried to hire new singers and it never really worked out because there was only one Freddie Mercury...lollllI'm not so sure it was an insult to MK.

I'm watching it this thursday, I hope it's a good one. So we got two DS references there, right? The end of SOS and the Mark/phone line?I watched the movie yesterday, I enjoyed it a lot. I only noticed the end of SoS but nothing else. The manager of Queen informs the band about live Aid and names a lot of bands and artists, but Dire Straits aren't mentioned at all. Which I found weird.

Could it be that it was Mark who said "no" for mentioning DS in the movie? Obviously you have to mention it, because Queen played right after. And since they played Sultans no problem, no way they could just "forget" about it.

And by the way, his character is actually the best in the movie. But actor could've learn how to play guitar for that occasion. From what I can see, seems like that they even used the original guitar on set.
I don't think that all the details are technically correct, although Live Aid performance is one of the best recreations if I ever saw. I don't think that this show was like this behind the scenes as shown on the screen. The ending of Sultans is a very good touch, although my wife missed it completely being not a hardcore MK/DS fan. So you can safely say most of the people won't even notice Sultans at all. Because she missed it knowing that you can expect something MK related.
But again, if you want a true story, go see a Documentary. This is a movie, and for a movie, it's a very good movie.

So the no calls after Mark Knopfler line is from the doc, right?
Either there's no such line in the Russian version, or I never heard it. No DS reference, no MK, just a microscopic snippet of Sultans and a small copyright notice in the end of the end credits, that's all.

As it turned out, this movie has a little similarity with the actual history. For the sake of drama everything got exaggerated and rewritten completely.
I understand changing some characters, maybe some minor events. But discovering of Freddie's sickness before Live Aid? Queen got disbanded?
There's some serious inconsistency in the movie, and I'm afraid a lot of people will take it seriously. They should've write about it in credits.

Intriguing since a couple of members mentioned that in previous posts :think
Could anyone kindly clarify this?

As I said earlier, there is no other mention of Mark or Dire Straits in the movie. The only reference is SoS you hear in the back.

I saw it too and had a good time in the theater. The director Bryan Singer is mostly known for his X-Men movies so I knew it was gonna be fun and lighthearted. They did change quite a few things, most noticieably Freddie telling the band about his health issues prior to Live Aid and the breakup drama which didn't happen at all, it was just a frendly break. The actor who plays Freddie simply nailed it, it's scary. The very only thing that bothered me was the guys who play Brian and Roger 'playing' their instruments, they could've done that a lot better. The bassist was ok though.

Queen was not at its best by 1985 and highrocketed from Live Aid to 1989
Alhough DS played MFN ans SOS in a full energitic way and were great, they were not DS best 2 versions
Queen was the queen of Live Aid, I was 17 by that year
