Thought Provoking and EWell Done Film.

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2019)

I bought tickets for what I thought was a documentary about Kim Jong Un. What it is ***spoiler alert*** is a biopic about someone name Elton John. What a great film, though. Very well done and artistic.
Rocketman was entertaining, and the music brought to life what Elton and the other characters were feeling. Whereas Bohemian Rhapsody was a biopic, Rocketman was more like a musical. There is a lot of heart and soul behind the music.
The cast and directing was first rate. Taron Egerton was phenomenal.
By the end of the film, I felt like Elton was a personal friend of mine. The music and story really captured how lonely and confused Elton felt. Thought provokingly, it makes sense how his lack of support structure (except his best friend), trying to come to grips with his sexuality, and the pressures of fame were real life challenges to him.
I look forward to seeing this again. There were a lot of artistic subtleties in how the story was told and how it unfolded.
I did not find the homosexual "sex scenes" uncomfortable. Heck, Game of Thrones had sex scenes that made my wife and I more uncomfortable than Rocketman. I wouldn't let negative media reviews scare you off. Nothing to be afraid of. But what is portrayed is relevant to the story and really lets you in Elton's mind and struggles.
All around this is a classic, memorable movie. I hope this gets a lot of awards!
