The whole movie was a pity party for Elton who is portrayed throughout as a victim. His mum and stepfather were not as bad as shown here, far from it. Also, there's very little in it about how badly ELTON treated people, particularly after he became famous.

AMEN! Emma. Sir Elton has always had a special place in my heart, so many of his creations have helped me through some trying times. And he makes for such a beautiful proud Papa, So happy that his life is full and he is finally happy. Peace.

[@ksc743]

And Amen to both of you! I just adore Elton John and his music and cannot wait to see this movie.

[@montereyharris1277]

Emma Bullerpowell indeed they should have. Elton John was the one who ran backstage after the live aid performance of Queen & was running around yelling, “ you guys stole the show!!”. Elton John had already been famous as well and probably more famous, but he was more than happy to share in the success of another performer’s successes. Elton Freddie we’re good friends anyway. I don’t think that it had so much to do that they were gay and so much that it had everything to do that both of them were incredible geniuses.
