Spot on, Trav. Enjoyable, understandably a biopic which is not a doco and hence smooths over some of the perceived roughage of the story, and definitely full of (though again artfully spacfilled) missed opportunities. I can see this as a benchmark for a mini-series about 5 years down the track, though with May and Taylor firmly in control of the music rights, it would need their tacit approval for any serious displays of archaeology.
They soooort of depict the party. But its tame as heck compared to the real thing. Theres a youtube vid taken at the infamous cocaine miget party, and it was *wild*. The footage shows a drag performer doing a penis helicopter out the front line up , the infamous little folk, and so much more. And heres the thing , the rest of the band looked like they where having a *blast*

Which is to say, yeah, the film was a bit revisionist, but not *completely* dishonest.
