I don't think Rocketman got the appreciation it deserved at all. I can't imagine a movie about Elton John without a fantastic musical element on it. The entire movie is a masterpiece, to the point that no matter how many times you watch it, you will always find something new if you look closely. Everything is astonishing, from the acting to the costume design. I would've loved to see notes on Bennie and The Jets (and every single musical number in this movie for that matter, but I can understand why they chose this scene), I still don't understand how it wasn't an instant success compared to other less-impressive biographical movies that overpassed it in box office.
SHUT UP HEATHER I loved it as well. But, I also was discovering a lot of Elton John music that I knew but had no clue was his. But, Tarron did a beautiful job and made me fall in love with him.
The movie is fantastic, I think that the message is so much powerfully than the one in Bohemian Rhapsody. The movie goes beyond Elton John’s life, is about accepting who you are, overcome oneself, being a better person in spite of adversity, and forgiveness of the past. The music is amazing, Taron’s performance is incredible as well, I really think it deserves more recognition
I just watched it, and it did so many things right that I thought Bohemian Rhapsody failed to do
Yes Yes YES!!! You're so right...Action Big Block Buster Movies Just Dominates Theaters Today...And All Those Other Movies That Tries Something New Are Under Appreciated
SHUT UP HEATHER That’s the word I was looking for, masterpiece. Dextor did an amazing job.
Taron is a triple threat: he can Sing, he can Act, and can do his own Wobble
don’t forget he can doodle too!
And he’s the most precious human on earth 🥰
And he is beautiful and intelligent. Very sensitive
Very real
Can't believe Dexter wont get any awards for his direction on this masterpiece, it is going to be so underated during the award season because it was released in May not December
Bob Jones Gladiator was a May release. Best Picture and Best Actor.
wasn't black panther released in like, january? it was nominated for 6 awards in the academy last year
@@ekaevangelista3966 it was a Feb release, but yes very early in the year and was nominated for best picture along with other noms.
It's gonna get underappreciated because Bohemian Rhapsody still has a bad taste in everyones mouth for movies about 70s rock legends. Sad but true. This movie should be nominated for everything, it's fantastic.
IT Richie Tozier fan joker will for sure get something; it’s gotten tons of attention and praise. but this movie really does deserve attention. it’s beautifully created
The heartbreaking change of expression was definitely the highlight of the film; shows how everyday some people actually do that, carry both that much pain and sorrow, yet so much courage. Taron did such a great job of showing that.
Interesting connection to all that jazz too…
“They sprayed smoke in me bald patch” - Taron Egerton, 2019
I love how taron just seems to be having the time of his life fanboying about elton john
Ikr? It's amazing
First he was rescued by Elton
Then he sang one of Elton's songs
And now he IS Elton
Elton & Taron are now good friends which is lovely. I remember extremely well what Elton looked like when he was Taron's age & there's definitely a likeness …. & he can act & sing!! Elton was adamant that Taron play him in the film & he was absolutely perfect for the role.
@@nonnamadonna I laughed when Elton told him that if he [Elton] was younger, Taron might be marrying him, ahaha
I definitely agree there. There's definitely a likeness
You can put the wig on but you can’t take it off
- Taron Egerton 2019
I love this film. I hope Taron gets an Oscar nomination, he fully deserves it.
dexter to
The awards are stacked as f this year. I don't think he'll have a chance. Just unlucky.
@@edabakb I dunno, every analyst I've read has said Taron has some of the strongest chances to get a nomination. Right up there w Adam Driver, Joaquin Phoenix, and De Niro. Although I definitely dont think he'll win (any other year and this would be the winner) I have a feeling it's either gonna go to De Niro or Joaquin (I massively hope it's the former however)
Phoenix, Driver, De Niro, DiCaprio, Banderas, Pryce. Tough year, he’s not getting the nomination.
And Dexter has literally no chance.
Remember people, Oscars are not won through great actors, for Taron is phenomenal, but the Oscars are won through money
"they sprayed smoke in me bald patch"
- best quote said by an actor to date.
This will unfortunately get steamrollered by Joker at awards season, but Rocketman was genuinely an amazing film.
rocket man and joker are cinematic masterpieces. both such powerful films.
Even if they get nominations, I'll be happy.
@@kathleencollins5531 sadly other movies that didnt deserve a nomination was nominated. He was snubbed too. Which was such bs. I didnt expect him to win cause this was joquains year. But wow such bs. He deserved to be nominated. He was elton!
"So yeah, Elton had tried to commit suicide..."
- Taron giggles hysterically.
can u drop a time stamp sudjkdkf
Joe Kerr it’s right at the beginning. 1:04
He was laughing before that was ever said.
If he actually died, you would hear Logan Paul laughing in the distance
Youre a big Fan right? I am too, i See u in the comments of every Film of rocketman :)
My man completely messed up his hair for this movie it better win an Oscar
The fact that Taron was completely snubbed at the Oscars still makes me mad, his performance was incredibly brilliant and yet so underrated!
taron's wearing the bracelet bernie gave him🥺
maddiedrew wait, i don’t know the story what is it?!??
itsflowerside Bernie gave Taron a bracelet for his 30th birthday. He’s been wearing it since early November. Taron talked about it at a Q&A screening that Taron, Dexter and Bernie were at.
10:36 is such a heartbreaking photo. You can clearly see how much pain Elton is in, however he pushes through regardless. The scene in rocketman captures that perfectly. It’s just such a shame when you think about the fact it’s all actually true :(
im so glad they broke down this scene. its my favorite one, a great transition to show the zero amount of rest elton had gotten in between the hospital and the dodgers i love it so much
taron: says big words
me: and all this science, i don’t understand
Taron is the definition of an 11/10
*1000000/10
It really suprises me he said: "they used it in the trailer", the fact that the director isn't appart of that decision making is weird to me
Usually in bigger films they'll give the footage to a trailer house (a company who specifically make trailers) who will then cut a trailer. You're right, it doesn't feel right that the people who created the film don't always get a say in how it's marketed. Suicide Squad is an example of this process going very wrong, with the trailer making the film look like something it wasn't
Lafynk Then again, i think the director should be most involved in the edit, because that is where films can become masterpieces or flops. If i was a director i wanted to have a say in every way the film is being showed, but that is just my take on it, no pun intended
Directing and marketing are two completely different beasts. How many times have you seen a trailer and not even seen those scenes in the movie? Or... they show only the best scenes in the trailer and the rest of the movie is crap? I've seen both too many times to count. Marketing only cares about getting people into the seats... the director wants to bring the best WHOLE movie to the audience.
One is art. The other is marketing.
My Favorite movie of 2019. In fact, is more than this. Rocketman is one of my Top 5 of all time. It is really special for me.
Jailcante wow that’s good
Better than Bohemian if I'm honest.
WHERE'S MY WIG facts
me too!
love how seriously Taron took his role
if 2019 wasn't so stacked for movies, this would be getting plenty of awards
William Murnan I haven’t been impressed by 2019 at all.
I wish they could break down the whole movie!! These 2 are so great together!!!!
DVD commentary. It will be Dex, Tarron and other cast members doing a full breakdown scene by scene over the top of the film.
@@ArtemisScribe I would love a DVD commentary with Dex/Taron/Richard/Jamie ... I think it would be cool to hear what they have to say!!
@@faithhudson4576 hopefully that's what we'll get.
The shot of Elton walking out looking completely crushed and then turning on his face the second he grabs the baseball bat, and walks out onto the stage like a robot is one of my favorites in any move. I was so amazed by it in the theater
This movie introduced me to the incredible story of Elton’s life, and I was surprised to find out that we had a lot in common. At least, I could find a lot of myself in him, which I wasn’t expecting, with us being generations apart and stuff. I hated Elton’s music before the movie, but I found out I liked it with Taron as a buffer in the movie, and then grew a taste for Elton’s music. I will never stop raving about this movie. It’s insanely great. His story is so moving. Despite everything he went through and what he put his body through, Elton survived, and now has everything he’s ever wanted: a husband, children, a family, and people who truly love him. So so inspiring.
Noah & Atlas omg how could u ever hate Elton John music they are so good and unlike any others
This was a million times better then bohemian rhapsody
I agree with you sooooo much omg
Eric Woodard I loved Rocketman, but I definitely would have to disagree with you there..
You shouldn't compare these 2 Movies
bohemian rhapsody is one of my favorite movies ever it's amazing but Rocmetman is so emotional and amazing i cried a river
Why must we continue to compare them.
Elton: Wears Y fronts.
Taron: Just to make it clear, I do not wear Y fronts I wear boxers I just wanted to be more like elton.
{edit} OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS FOR ALL THE LIKES! 🤩
It's Y-Fronts. That is what they call briefs in the UK.
Chris Darris oops lol
Every time he grabs the bat and puts on a big show smile it does something to my heart and gives me chills. The transition is absolutely heartbreaking but done so well.
One of my favourite movies of all time. Before this movie, I had no interest in music, I thought it was boring, bland and unoriginal. But then I watched this movie, it truly changed my life. I know that might sound like an exaggeration, but it genuinely opened my eyes to the world of music. Elton John is my favourite artist of all time and I truly believe he will remain so, thanks toy Taron, Dexter and the Rocketman team.
Same here music now and days is garbage. I loved eltons song I’m still standing and just started looking for more of his songs. He is now my favorite artist. They don’t make them like that anymore. And I love this movie so much it’s my #1 ✨💞
I liked this scene because it re-introduced ‘Rocketman’ in a different perspective for me. Before the movie I never thought of the song as bittersweet; it was always whimsical to me ( probably b/c I’ve listened to it since I was a child lol)
Rachel Auguste this topic is interesting, the way we perceive music (and everything really), how we connect, which emotions, memories... This song has always made me cry because of the melody.
8:14 the director's face when Taron talks about his underwear preference. Priceless.
Taron truly is a remarkable actor going above and beyond to become his character. He understood so much about Elton so that he could really embody the message that Elton wanted to display. I adore this man and everything he stands for - an absolutely outstanding actor
Just remember that Rami Malek won an Oscar for lip syncing, and some how beat COOPER, but Taron won’t get love.
He was awesome as Elton
Andrew Lavagnino WE DONT TALK ABOUT IT...I’m ok.
I don't get the hate for Rami Malek. Yeah, the film was a cop out (saying this a massive Queen fan) but he was pretty awesome as Freddie.
@@Jennyfisch is wasn't oscar worthy. Thats all im saying
Yes its really sad. Taron killed it. He was miles away better acting wise and he sang all the songs! He should have received a nomination its such bs. The movie was better too
Ok, Taron was amazing but don't always compare to Rami Malek !!! It depend of the other actors in front of him.... ans Rami was pretty nice too !!! And he sang too, his voice was mixed with Marc Martel's !
no one:
taron at 14:56: *starts shaking violently*
4:48 it makes me uncomfortable how close the ambulance was to hitting that door
oh my word i love taron with my whole heart he's literally perfect . that is all .
i love that there is still content being released for this incredible film
Congrats to Taron who won a well deserved Golden Globe
I was never a big Elton fan. But this movie is AMAZING. Because of this movie and how much I enjoyed it, I have now been discovering the music and life of Elton with enthusiasm.
I would hope Taron at least gets a nomination for Outstanding Leading Role at the Academy. But politics as they are, they wouldn't award another UK actor the prize for being "another" British Rockstar. But, what Taron and Dexter have done is given a true and vibrant emotional reality to a human story that as we lived through it, was very enigmatic and mona lisa-esque. And even today, not until this movie was Elton's inner journey fully accessible, nor the miracle that his talent alone seemed to keep him afloat as any guardian angel. For that, both Actor and Director deserve fulsome praise.
I was so happy to find this in my notifications! I can never get enough of this film!
I love things like this. We as theater goers take so much for granted. The creative mind of Dexter Fletcher must be a very crowded place. Well done TE and DF
I just love Taron Egerton. They are really campaigning for the Oscar. He's been such a champ through all the press he's done for this movie.
This film is still trending! Love it to pieces!
sometimes i get really really angry that dexter didn't direct bohemian rhapsody in its entirety. what a masterpiece that would've been.
Taron and Richard both deserve Oscars for this movie
this movie SAVED 2019. this year was a terrible year for me and this film was one of the only things that genuinely made me so happy. i have an emotional connection to this movie and it's just pure genius. LOVE U TARON AND ELTON
If Taron doesn't get at least a nomination at the Oscar I will be very disappointed in the Academy
Laura Maistri well it’s time you get disappointed 😭
It’s time for you to get pissed at the Academy I’m pissed too I saw Rocketman in theaters twice and thought that Taron Egerton should get a nomination his performance is Oscar worthy and I kind of suspected that since rocket man was released so early in the previous year that the Academy would Snub it and Taron
Its insane he wasnt even nominated 😢
“they sprayed smoke in me bald patch” sjsjdsjdjs pls taron
13:27 like father like son. Watch taron cross his arms right after dexter does haha
Does his own doodling and wobbling? What can't Taron Egerton do? :D
He wanted to be an animator if I m right
@@thegamingcook785 and he did
He can't really fly, haven't you paid attention? Lol
Taron is so clever in this what the heck! Rocketman is definitely my favorite movie of 2019, I’m so thankful!
omg taron’s laugh is the cutest thing in the world🥺💞
this was my favorite scene in the movie, the ballet part in front of the window was so striking and beautiful.
Nobody:
Taron: *sees himself lifeless*
*starts laughing*
Love what Taron says at 12:57
taron looks so much more alive in this scene breakdown than in the gq one LMAOO
Clearly the best movie i saw in 2019, and one of the best i ever saw. It captured everything i always wanted to see about a musician, perfectly blended the movie/musical contrast, the actors were brilliant, the shots were magnifiscent. And oh boy i never thought Taron could make me cry like i did.
Thanks for this, to all the people involved in making this movie
"They sprayed smoke in me bald patch."😂😂😂
This entire sequence in the film is my favorite scene by far
He should have won best actor. the fact that he wasnt even nominated is crazy
"This is a super Taron, flying in the sky." Why is this sentence so oddly cute?
I’ve been obsessed with taron since 2015 and I’m so proud of how far he’s come :( I miss when ppl would ask my fave actor and no one knew who he was tbh
I
Adore
This
Movie and
The way they took it so serious
Thank you to everyone who made Rocketman
Taron is too old to be this adorable.💖
Why does that director sound like the man in the McDonald’s ads😂😂
Harry Wheeler I-
It’s because it is 😄😄😄
It’s the same guy
Quiet Killjoy Dexter Fletcher was in a McDonald's commercial??????
My uncle saw me his movie when it first came out. He told me it gave him a whole different kind of respect for Elton John and his music. Personally, Rocketman is my favourite movie. Taron did a great job as always. That singing voice is just phenomenal.
So so thankful for this movie, I've seen it 10 times and every single time it feels like when I first saw it, still gives me goosebumps
when I went to see Elton in Auckland he had literal pneumonia and cried when he physically could not go on and had to end early. This movie is an incredible tribute to immortalise an amazing man.
Simply amazing input explaining Elton john and tarons life pre, during and post film product.. After watching this brilliant movie, these interviews really shine much light on grey area.. Which makes you appreciate the legend and the people involved in the production even further...Taron you were brilliant and Elton you were a badass piano rocker.. Never seen anything now your music makes sense to me.. Thankyou
I hope Taron gets an Oscar nom!!
I thoroughly enjoyed that scene breakdown. One of my favorite films ever, brilliant. What a talent.
Taron you deserve an Oscar.
Full stop. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love this scene so much. It is incredibly beautiful.
Both of these men did an extraordinary job, because I could feel everything they've just explained while watching the film, they should be really proud of this film, such a masterpiece and it has become one of my favorites. ❤️
Taron is such a huge talent I will watch his career with much delight.
This was so interesting to watch and Dexter and Taron are so much fun. I would love an audio commentary for the entire Rocketman film!
it was a this sequence in the movie that I realised this movie was awesome
Such a great film. Taron deserves an oscar.
I adore these two so much. I can't put into words how much this film means to me.
Dexter is A SCREAM! Hilarious how he contemplates Taron's "squiffy" eye in the pool scene. 💥
My favorite film of the year. These two are brilliant
This was one of the most spectacular scenes, just amazing
Taron David Egerton is the love of my life and nothing will ever change my mind on that
I've been just listening to the soundtrack and saw this video on CZcams. Damn, I wanna watch it again and again. I love each element of this film. My favourite jukebox musical, definitely.
Dexter : Your wobbling is phonomenal.Yes it is.
I love Taron and Dex so much!! Their dynamic is everything! ❤️❤️❤️ xx
i really like this kind of videos. please dont stop
This is my favourite scene of the whole year
no one:
Dexter: "lets see you get undressed"
Such an incredible duo, and movie!
This scene was both heartbreaking and beautiful
One of my favorite films!!! Incredible!!!
I will never be able to get over how hot and talented Taron Everton is
Such an incredible scene.
Taron deserves an Oscar.
This is one of my favourite CZcams videos
This film is so special and incredible and I can't really put it into words why I think so. My favorite film of this year 💓💓
Absolutely awesome film...always loved Elton John...love him even more now..if possible.
I cannot wait to see elton John live next year 🥺🥺
