BEHIND THE MUSIC ??
She packed my bags last night pre-flightZero hour nine AMAnd I'm gonna be high as a kite by thenI miss the earth so much I miss my wifeIt's lonely out in spaceOn such a timeless flightAnd I think it's gonna be a long long time'Till touch down brings me round again to findI'm not the man they think I am at homeOh no no no I'm a rocket manRocket man burning out his fuse up here aloneAnd I think it's gonna be a long long time'Till touch down brings me round again to findI'm not the man they think I am at homeOh no no no I'm a rocket manRocket man burning out his fuse up here aloneMars........Elton's second Top Ten Hit (U.K) peaking at Number 2.- Quite a film, quite a story beneath the razzle-dazzle, the songs and dance.The story telling of Reginald Dwights (Matthew Illesley a little older played by Kit Connor) early life, when he finds it difficult to connect with his mother and get the attention he wanted from his father.Early on, he develops a love for music finding he has a real talent on the piano keyboard, his grandmother encourages this.When starting out trying to break into the world of music and recording he is introduced to Bernie Taupin (Jamie Bell) a talented lyricist the two hit it off almost immediately, now calling himself Elton John (Taron Egerton) he puts the tunes to Bernie's lyrics.This a friendship and partnership that will stand the test of time, the two penning many a song between them (may chart hits)However, Elton struggles beyond his friendship with Bernie to discover who he really is and who he can trust.In between the success he'll find real love hard to find, he'll drink too much, and take too many drugs.This the underlying story of Elton's early years, both as a boy and that of a pop/rock'n'roll superstar.Obviously the story with Elton involved in the film is how he wanted to be portrayed early in his life and indeed career.With many great memories in song, It's a moving watch. ......maybe not for all, but if you love the music give it a go.

This is a sort of biopic of Sir Elton John`s life in movie form, the singing and the music is fabulous and just like being at his concert! The actor`s who portray all of the parts are magnificent including Taron Egerton who plays Elton and who sings all of the music by him! The executive producer is Elton John himself as he wanted the film to be historically correct, it has many sad parts but also some very happy and enjoyable parts too?! I enjoyed watching this film so much and have watched it 3 x times already!! Don`t hesitate, just buy it, you won`t be disappointed!

I wasn't expecting this to be a musical and had I known that, I probably wouldn't have bothered to see it. When it started, I thought that Taron Egerton was miscast but by the end I found him completely believable. All the cast were amazing and the young Elton was excellent. When they all started singing I Want Love, that was my lot. I was in bits! And it was for that reason that I bought the DVD. It was one of my favourite films of 2019 and I think it's come in for a lot of stick that it doesn't deserve. You can't compare this to Bohemian Rhapsody. It's completely different.If Elton John has any sense he will adapt this for the stage. It's crying out for a big over the top production. The costumes alone deserve that!I think you get my point. I LOVED it.
