Elton John: Compared to Mercury's no way back, the prodigal son is the best ending
I liked this movie so much, and maybe I liked Elton John's story so much. Although my knowledge of him is basically limited to this movie.
I lived in an unhappy family since I was a child. I was judged not to be loved since I was a child. I could only be with music since I was a child. I experienced...

Can this restricted music film be as successful as "Bomi"
The biggest dark horse in last year’s commercial films is undoubtedly "Bohemian Rhapsody." This musical biopic about the legendary rock star and queen lead singer Freddie Mercury was not favored at first, and it was even released. It was badly criticized by the North American media on the eve....

[B+] It seems that most of the music and biographical movies cannot escape the standard templates such as "Lack of Love Childhood", "Famous World", "Lost Self", and "Looking Back at the Shore". It seems that this is all about biographical movies. Compared with the neat production and perfect restoration of "Bohemian Rhapsody", this "Rocket Man" focuses more on the visual gorgeousness and the combination of song and dance art. I really enjoyed the several song and dance performances, that kind of dream. The feeling of constant friction, collision and fusion with reality can't be better...

This movie gives me the feeling that it is Bomi 2.0. It's not that the life experiences of the two musicians are very similar, but the entry points of the two movies are very similar, and both movies have scripts that are seriously insufficient to rely on music to make up. question. But the look and feel of this movie is a little worse than that of Bomi. The use of music in this film is so frequent that after watching it, there is not even a single song that impresses me. This is what Bomi will do in the last 20 minutes of performance. Much better. And the script in the second half of the film is not full enough to cause the protagonist's emotions to look so inexplicable, and the sense of substitution is a bit bad. However, the music in this film is very good, and the conversation of the last group of people is also a small highlight. It is not a particularly bad movie. Talen's performance is a very big highlight of this film. Although it looks better than the prototype, so the sense of substitution at the beginning is not very strong, but the overall grasp of the emotion of the performance is quite good, and the whole film Talen turned out to be true. It's not easy to sing just to sing these songs well, it's worth an Oti.
