TARON SOARS ELTON SHAKES THE ROOF

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2019)

Before I go further to mention how outstanding this film is, and why it destroys last years musical rock show Bohemian Rhapsody, id like to state one thing.
There is NO POSSIBLE way for any writers or directors, even if Sir Elton John was to produce the film, to fit in every detail of Elton complex life. So do not approach the movie wanting to see a documentary so much, but approach it as a dark concert. I state this because as much back lash Bohemian Rhapsody got for this its the wrong way to look at a film.
The movie does a fantastic job of creating a sort of fantasy perspective of Elton's life wile including lots of important timeline information, but it only hints to the more important ones.
The films themes are pretty straight forward and I often find it misleading when people come and say that this film has no story. What is to know becomes known, and a lot of privacy walls are broken to show the true grit, and raw performance of the rock star.
As to be expected it highlights homosexuality, and the conflicting family issues arising from that. (The Main Theme)
But also manages to fit in many other small themes, that I wont address to prevent any spoilers of the film.
It also in a way is a very true story. Maybe not in the sense of every detail being accurate, but the performance of Taron is jaw dropping. Taron takes an approach of his own to the Singer, and makes his own version of Elton, which is delicious yet challenging, but manages to pull of perfect;y with his upbeat dancing and natural sounding trained voice. So during the entire film you can relate a ton to Taron and his version of Elton. Almost to an unbearable point when we learn of the tragedies and dark elements of being like every Rock star.
Overall, ill have to cut it short. It's just a hell of a movie. Visuals, colors, transitions, soundtrack, choreography, and acting is superb. You feel the time drifting on by as you rock your way through 2 hours of one of the worlds most famous musicians, and look deep into the demons and faults of being a star.
