Depends...if the movie is about Queen and the influence of Mercury on the group/music then that is a great place to end the movie. They were very much on the down swing before that live aid performance. That performance put them back, well maybe not on the map, but put them back up on the pedestal of one the greatest bands. It was one of the more stunning performances in rock history and one that at the time wasn't really expected.
It was also perhaps THE performance that showed everyone in the world how powerful a performer Mercury was. It is the highlight of their careers. They stole show on a day that included strong performances by Dire Straits, U2, Sting, Elton John, The Who and Bowie.
If it's a Mercury biography then I'd agree but I believe it's more the former (despite the marketing).
