Bohemian Rhapsody will be released in China, but

Bohemian Rhapsody will be modified for the Chinese market.

Evening Standard: LGBT scenes to be cut from Bohemian Rhapsody for Chinese release

Bohemian Rhapsody is a cinema movie describing Queen, a legendary rock band, and its leader Freddie Mercury's dramatic life.

Freddie Mercury was a genius musician. Because of his extraordinary character, he caused several troubles with his friends. But many supported him. On the last scene of the film, he was again on stage with his old colleague together to send his songs to people all around the world.

Also, Freddie was a gey. His sexuality made his life strange. He experienced a bitter divorce with his wife. Gender minority is one of the themes of this film.

But, it seems not to be acceptable in China.

After getting Oscars, it was decided that Bohemian Rhapsody will be released in China. But, some scenes describing drug use and kisses between males are to be eliminated.

Being a gey is an icon of Freddie Mercury. Deleting the scenes suggesting it will discount the value of this film. Many people will be disappointed with this treatment.

On the other hand, if it is a necessary condition for releasing Bohemian Rhapsody in China, we may have to accept it. It is also no doubt many Chineses expect to see this film on cinema, even if it is a less-qualified version.
