“Rocketman” would be more Musical because music biography. The focus of the first career half of the pop star Elton John is. And full of Surprises.
Sometime in the early 1970s, it was In the now legendary “Troubadour”, a music and dance Club in West Hollywood, stands a man literally of the earth. Elton John, the Pianist and singer, which starts at the piano in the Club all of a sudden, as if there’s no Tomorrow is called. The to comes. In the case of his teammates, but especially to the enthusiastic audience.
“Rocketman” brings Elton John to fly

We are in the movie. A Film about Elton John, the Popgröße that was actually always there, so you kind of get to. Elton John stands in “Rocketman” in a scene that is one of the most exciting in the whole movie, actually from the ground. And not only that.
The Film is more of a Musical than a good cure, was one of music biography. Life consists of Dancing: “Rocketman”, explains and develops many of the early Hits of the Stars of “Your Song” and “Rocketman” to “Crocodile Rock” and “Candle in the Wind”, in the film’s plot always from certain situations of life of the people and musician Elton John was born Reginald Kenneth Dwight in 1947 in the vicinity of London.
Director Dexter Fletcher staged before, “Bohemian Rhapsody” to the end of
Unlike “Bohemian Rhapsody”, the hugely successful Film “the Queen”, which covers a similar period of time and also a homosexual rock size in the center of his narrative, asked, “is Rocketman” still a lot more to the music. Again and again the action of dancing, singing, and dance Songs is interrupted. Dexter Fletcher, the Director of “Rocketman”, staged also “Bohemian Rhapsody” to the end, after Director Bryan Singer was fired during the filming – Fletcher know in the music and film business.
Flash Outfits, quirky glasses belong to the standard program, Elton John’s – the main actor Taron Egerton, the bears convincingly
“Rocketman” is told as a big flashback: Elton John (convincingly portrayed by Taron Egerton) sits at the beginning of the film in a bizarre orange-coloured full body costume like an old, sad peacock in the circles of anonymous alcoholics and opens. He tells of his many addictions, alcohol, drugs, Sex. And he remembers his Childhood. Of his life in humble circumstances, his father can’t love him, obviously, or the show, and to his mother, who does not accept him as he is, and his being gay as the writing on the wall interpreted.
Catchy lyrics by friend, Bernie Taupin
However, the small Reginald one: the music remains, at least. He is considered highly gifted at the piano anyway, but also can Sing Little of. With his eccentric clothes and glasses taste testing the limits of the imagination. As he learns to know him as a young man, Bernie Taupin (terrific: Jamie Bell) who writes wonderful lyrics, ignites the spark. Elton John, as he is called now, stands with his Temperament, to his stage presence and his musical skills to the pop world from its hinges.
The jump in the US is quickly threaded, somehow it seems clear early on that this Brite fits more in the glitter pop world of the United States than to England in the early 1970s, the mourns the end of the Beatles behind and rock bands like “the Rolling Stones” and “The Who” celebrates.
Then, in August 1970, there is that legendary appearance in “Troubadour”. Starting this evening with Elton John musically, the Post goes on, of which this Film tells. He is from Elton John’s rapid ascent to global pop star, his Hits, the parties, the friendships, the Sex.

“Rocketman” is a family production – but it can also be dark and gritty in between tones
However, “Rocketman”, Elton John celebrates, of course, as a big pop star, shows him as a happy people. This is all the more amazing because it is “Rocketman” to a “authorized” movie biography. Was produced in you by David Furnish, Elton John’s husband.
But perhaps it is because, “Rocketman” takes only the wild, impetuous and adventurous young Elton John in the 1970s in the focus. “Rocketman” is not limited to this, the first decade, and breaks down afterwards. Today, Elton is married to John, has two children, is widely recognized and celebrated, and bears the noble title. Elton John has closed, apparently to make his peace with life and career, with the wild years of the rise of. He has survived, you might say.

“Rocketman” shows not only the jet man Elton John
This is not a matter of course in the world of Pop and rock business. Many have fallen by the wayside. Elton John is still there, now 72 years old. Since you can afford it, maybe also look back on a life, the gruff and began to take in the many hurdles were.
“Rocketman” closer to the spectators Elton John not only as a “bright man”. He also shows quite a lot of sadness and misery of those years. The makers of the film, and, of course, Elton John himself, credit. The Film is a nice Surprise and in some scenes also.
