prisca... aliensouldream and primwood for giving me the needed push to watch 'Rocketman'. Without your reviews, I would never have considered watching this movie, because I have to admit that I never was very interested in Elton John. Though I know a lot of his songs, of course, who does not?
Yesterday I had a day off, and I decided that it might be a good idea to have some fun. So I did some summer shopping at first = did buy my first new bathing suit since ages, a colorful tankini; I was unsure at first, but the shop assistant convinced me to give it a try. And it looks great. Now I only have to convince me to go swimming more often. The only sport I love, but, I admit, I was pretty lazy during the last years.
After shopping, I went to the cinema to watch Rocketman. Woah, what a movie. I love every bit of it. Colorful costumes, great songs, but not completely a feel-good movie just to lean back and enjoy. It tells the story of a guy who is like a sparkling god on stage but behind his shell, he is desperately fighting his loneliness with too much party, alcohol, sex ... until it almost breaks him.
I know, there are critics who say that not all the stories of the movie are true, but hey. Elton John was the executive producer of the movie and obviously, he thinks it's good like it is. IMO not only good, but it's also brilliant. Maybe I will go and watch it again, but at least the DVD is a must-have as soon as it is released.
