Good cross reference to 'He's not the Messiah.... he's just a naughty boy'....🤣. Also agree that there's more interest in a slice of time that made an impact or had a story that changed culture / thinking..... rather than....a linear from cradle to grave.... And....... he's still an Enigma to me....I absolutely adore his albums 'Nashville Skyline' and 'Blood on the Tracks'.....can't quite get into his groove with the others.... I sometimes thought his later stage shows were taking the piss..... Beaut reviews Mate... keep em' going. You've now got me thinking about other 'slices' of stories of Artists over the decades worth putting on screen...... 👍

The monkey was the director's idea. There was an actor who played Robbie behind the CGI monkey, his name is Jonno Davies. Robbie was only the narrator, the director wanted him to narrate because he believes Robbie is a good storyteller.

I agree with you. Is usually a tough ask to sympathize with the "Rocketman" self-absorbed rock star take. Better Man manages to make it watchable. Recommended.

I didn't like the Greatest Showman either, that's why I was scared to watch this one. But this is one of the best films I have seen in a long time! And it's not just for fans of his or musicals. The songs blend in so well that it doesn't feel forced at all. With most musicals I am also annoyed by the second or third song, but with this one it just didn't. Go and watch it! I still can't get it out of my head, but I really relate to the topic depression too. But I say that in a good way, I felt like I get it and understood. I'll definitely watch it again in cinema, which I normally never do. 😊

It’s absolutely an ‘in the theatre’ movie. I was unsure how I would like it, but I must say, I was blown away. It’s the type of movie that people will miss, then it will (*should) win a ton of awards, and people will have missed the boat to seeing it in theatres. It’s fantastic, and I am going to see it a second time, to try and catch some of what I missed the first time around.

I knew his songs, but didn't know or care about the man. I really liked the song Better Man when I was going through a divorce in 2010. So, I went to the movie. My expectations for the movie were low .... then WOW. What a fun movie ... packed and creative.

I am big big Take That fan, still today. They are still huge and crushing #1s everytime they release new music, and I saw them (for the millionth time) in Malta for a special event they did there 2 months ago. All this is to say I know *a lot* about them and Robbie, and let me tell you, this movie is so detailed. Of course they had to bend some realities and for example placing something that it really happened in a different setting or whatever. But it was all true down to the tiny details. A silly non spoilery example: when Robbie sees Gary's butler and says now he thinks he's Elton John. Looks just like a silly line. But it's actually true: Gary has admitted many times (in his book for example) that when they became friends with Elton, Gary took him as his inspiration on how to live his new rich life. And he actually hired a butler cause he saw Elton having one. This movie is so detailed, there is no scene or line which is just random.

I just saw a complete unknown and really enjoyed it. One of my favorite bio pics was the doors. I saw it five times. None of these movies are absolutely perfect but they inspire me to do deep dives on the person or the band and then I go back and watch it again and get so much more out of it. That happened with queen as well. I am not a huge fan of Robbie Williams but I will probably watch this movie just cause it seems so interesting and he’s quite a character.

@TheFlikfreak I know! Both Bohemian Rhapsody and the doors were non-linear, composite amalgamations. In my opinion, the stories were told in such a way that it was much better the second or third time around after having learned more of the details.
