Rocketman is a biographical film that stands out above the usual average in biopics, thus becoming one of the most stimulating films.
In this film, he does not seek to exalt the protagonist but rather shows him as his life is his defects and problems, tackling both Elton John's homosexuality and his problems with drugs.

In fact, the film starts with the arrival of its protagonist at a meeting of anonymous alcoholics that will serve as a thread to review different stages of his life. A rather ingenious solution for him to show himself how his past has been affecting him to become the person he was then. And is that even he tries to sell a version for all audiences of his life to discover that it was much more complicated.
From the lack of love of his father, reinforced notably in the forced reunion as an adult, to the disinterest of his mother, more concerned about endorsing it to his grandmother than for anything else, the notes on his innate talent to the composition and the inevitable review of how some of his most celebrated themes came to light, but also how his personal life is sinking and he takes refuge in drugs and alcohol to move forward.

Elton John himself said that he had led such a life and that he did not want to do without anything. This detail is essential to offer a much more complete view of his person, although then everything related to his homosexuality there are countries that choose to censor him. It is commendable that such a thing be treated so directly when Hollywood had shown remarkable resistance and hopefully it does not stay in an oasis in the desert.
Obviously there have been more rough details and the story behind many songs. There it was impossible to cover everything in such a short time, but the film works very well with what is included. After all, it is a movie, not a translation into images of his life. In fact, there are times when the film almost seems to disconnect a little from reality to better capture that magic of Elton John's talent.

Crítico: AAA
I have yet to see this film, I think it's strange that they decided to make a film about the life of an artist who is still alive.
