Holy. Mother. Of God.

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2019)

Let me tell you a story. There was a girl once, about two or three weeks ago, who avoided studying for her physics exam by watching celebrities read thirst tweets and other such videos. In one video or another this comment popped up:
"I can't believe we have to wait 5 months to see a sex scene with Taron Egerton and Richard Madden"
There were 3 things she realised in that video:
1. The comment was about the movie "Rocketman", a movie about the life of Sir Elton John.
2. That comment was about 5 months old.
3. Both those actors are very, very good-looking.
She looked it up, and -what do you know- that movie had premiered the day before, and there was a showing that night at 10. The trailer looked interesting. After endless texts, and a small argument or two with her mother, she ended up going alone to the cinema (and apparently she was the only one who went to that movie that night). She didn't know anything about Elton John, not even his music (she knew Crocodile Rock but not that it was his).
Long story short, I became an EJ fan because of a random comment. Life is funny like that sometimes, it seems.
I loved this movie. As a huge theater nerd, it's always a bonus if something ends up unexpectedly being a musical. Cause this is what "Rocketman" is: a musical rather than a biopic. I couldn't spot the inaccuracies, and I don't care too much either. The movie packs a lot of emotional punches, and it brought me on the verge of tears more than once--no movie has done that in years. Everyone's acting is deserving of praise, and Taron Egerton did an exceptional job with the singing as well (I swear, he'd better get an Oscar).
Overall a really good movie. Personally I liked it more than BoRhap.
