Live your true self - "Rocketman"
Today, let's talk about the movie "Rocketman".
Title Rocketman (2019), alias Rocketman / Rock Astronaut (Hong Kong).
"Rocketman" is a biographical film about the famous British musician Elton John (Elton John), and Elton John is still alive and well and served as the producer of the film.
To make a biopic of a living person shows that this person's life is too exciting and topical, and his fans can't wait to review his life full of highlights.
In 2018, "Bohemian Rhapsody", a biographical film about Queen's band, became popular. The film brought a detailed re-enactment of the legendary band Queen and put it on the big screen, which made music fans feel addicted , and also gained a lot at major film festivals.
The "Rocketman" that followed in 2019 has a lot to do with "Bohemian Rhapsody".
The director behind the two films is the same, both Dexter Fletcher, and the protagonists of the two films are also famous British musicians, and Queen frontman Freddie Mercury and Elton. ·John is still a good friend, a legendary superstar who became famous in the 1970s, and both are gay.
Elton John was born on March 25, 1947 in the suburbs of London, England, and is known as the "evergreen tree in the British music scene".
And his other nickname is more "close to the people". He likes all kinds of exaggerated appearances. As shown in the film, he is covered with large sequined earrings, tinted glasses tights, exaggerated headdress flared trousers, and gorgeous winged high-heeled shoes. Known as "the big aunt in the music world".
He took piano lessons since he was a child and became famous in the 1970s, but Chinese people do not know him, and they can only understand him through his later works.
In 1994, Elton John's song "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" for the movie "The Lion King" became popular all over the world;
The 2019 live-action "The Lion King" featured the same song;
In 1997, the song "Candle In The Wind" commemorating Princess Diana sold 37 million copies worldwide and was the highest-grossing single of all time;
In 1998, he was awarded the Second Class Knight of the Order of the British Empire by the Queen of England for his musical achievements and outstanding contributions to philanthropy;
In 1999, won the Grammy Legend Award.
As a music biopic, the songs in the film are essential.
Actor Taron Egerton Taron Egerton, as Elton John's hand-picked actor, does not use the method of lip-synching, and insists on true singing throughout the whole process.
Speaking of which, the two have worked together several times. In Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle, Taron Edgerton and Elton John have collaborated. In The Voice of Joy, Taron Edgerton Gerton sings Elton John's song "I'mStill Standing" in the film. It is estimated that this time Taron Edgerton was recognized by Elton John.
The songs of "Rocketman" maintained Elton John's consistent penetrating power, and the opening song "The Bitch is Back" attracted people.
The child's voice is clear and powerful. Listening to "The Bitch is Back" feels like listening to Nirvana's "Rape me".
One song laid the foundation for Elton John's unfortunate family of origin, upon which the entire story unfolds.
"Rocketman" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" have many similarities, but also many differences.
"I Am Still Standing" of "Rocketman" is like "The Show Must Go On" of "Bohemian Rhapsody". It does not admit defeat and does not admit defeat. As long as there is still a breath, it will not be defeated by difficulties.
A year earlier, Rami Malek could have won the Oscar for Best Actor for "Bohemian Rhapsody", but the same thing can't happen two years in a row, and there is no competition for "Joker" in 2019 to win Best Actor at all By.
The biggest regret of "Rocketman" is not being able to see the movie on the big screen.
Despite being produced by the same director as "Bohemian Rhapsody," the two films take completely different styles.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" is a PG-13 level work, even if it is obtained in China, it can be released after cutting the length of one song.
"Rocketman," on the other hand, is a thoroughly R-rated production.
Paramount Pictures had proposed to make "Rocketman" PG-13, but Elton John himself rejected the proposal.
Elton John said, "They (producers) want to reduce the content of drugs and sex, but Lao Tzu didn't live a PG-13 life."
In PG-13 "Bohemian Rhapsody" audiences will see Freddie Mercury in PG-13, while in "Rocketman" audiences will see the original R Level Elton John. The scenes of shopping addiction, drugs, alcoholism, sex addiction, suicide and other topics in the film are not shy.
If you have to go through the magic operation of scissors, I am afraid that the whole film will be cut like a sieve.
The film begins with Elton John's confession. With the confession, he took off his videos and clothes one by one, slowly removed his guard, and opened his heart to the audience.
When he was young, he was experiencing the misfortune of his original family and longed for the approval of his parents, but he could never get it.
"You have to kill the person you were born to be to become who you want to be."
When he understands this truth, he chooses to be the person he wants to be. Whatever he or you agree with or not, Lao Tzu will live out his own life.
To be alive is to live out oneself.
Lao Tzu came into this world, lived and experienced, peaks and valleys, there is no need to live as others want, as long as you live your true self, you will be truly happy.
Elton John lived a free and easy life. The film is a personal autobiography and a life revelation. We can't be legendary musicians like Elton John, but we can live our own lives.
Legends cannot be copied,
Live your true self.
