I don’t get why people didn’t like the movie. And the people who are saying “it doesn’t give a good view to the LGBTQ community” IT’S NOT ABOUT HIS SEXUALITY, IT’S ABOUT THE MAN HIMSELF, HIS LIFE. Don’t see the movie expecting it to be all about the LGBTQ community. Gosh, open your minds a bit. The movie is brilliant.

[@medeaworbs6970]

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community: I agree! Reducing Elton, a wonderful person who went through so much, to his sexuality and expecting the film to be all about that in consequence is so wrong. Besides, for the time that the film is set in, it's actually a very accurate portrayal of the ''gay experience''. Allround remarkable wonderful film. In all aspects.

John C black panther and infinity war where both nominated for several Oscars so I definitely think this movie has a chance

[@prikas4313]

@Adam Efimoff no offense but I'd hope people aren't watching rocketman for a full picture of the LGBT community, as it's about one specific and important guy from the community. I found my experience in some struggles with being gay to be accurately portrayed in the film. Comparing this film to works that happen to be about being gay that it has little in common with reduces this movie to Elton's sexuality which it is only a part of the man.

Love that Elton basically made sure the film didn't shy away from the shittier aspects of his life or be a slave to his music. Biggest wraps for me were for Dexter Fletcher. This is a superb film and full of energy and creativity. Imagine what Bohemian Rhapsody could have been with him directing it all and not just finishing it. Love that he technically directed both a box office smash rock bio and a critically acclaimed rock bio pretty much side by side. Genius.

[@stephenfermoyle1498]

[@quaveglass]

Best Bipoic made yet. Ridiculously creative. Performances at 200 percent by everyone involved. Bravo.

[@longdongsilver9714]

It’s not a biopic. It’s a musical that loosely tells the story of Elton John. Factually the Movie is almost completely wrong. Great Musical tho

Well I may be a purist but i didn't like the movie... All i was thinking during the screening is that it would be much better as a broadway musical Honestly I would have liked a more classical approach with the biopic genre for this movie, but i guess that's just a question of taste

[@AddOrRemove]

@Adam Efimoff I think a drama would have shifted the way you think about Elton John. Yes all of this happened. Yes, those are serious issues that can have a lasting,severe, negative impact on a person. But Elton John is not a drug addict. He is a married ma, a father of two children, a beloved musician and has been one for decades. There is so much love and healing in the present, his past shouldn't overshadow the viewers perception of him.

[@bettyluna8093]

Yes, that would be amazing!!

[@sashahoward7760]

@@indianajones1433 there are naked chests and legs, (like, legs wrapping around legs, it's steamy, but brief scene) but I don't remember any butts or other goods. I saw it with my mom and they stopped right at the edge of me wanting to shield her eyes lol. The camera pans away once they hit the bed. Sex is implied several other times (like a dude lifting his head up from another dude's crotch area) but you don't see anything. I'd say the sex was closer to a PG13 but the substance use is an easy R. If your parents know what to expect and aren't uptight, I'd say you'll only be moderately uncomfortable haha.
