Because Bernie was Elton's muse. Elton was able to write the music and melodies he wrote because of Bernie's lyrics. If you notice, once Bernie left, Elton started buying songs from the market. Yes he wrote the music for AIDA and Lion King, but he never wrote a hit song with someone after Bernie. Bernie was his muse, and he knew it.
It shows that even though Elton might be a hothead and have a temper he knows right from wrong and when he needs to apologize. Props to Bernie though for knowing that’s just one of his moments
This movie is bogus BS. The real Elton never said any of these things in real life. Go watch some interviews and documentaries of the real Elton for the real story, not this BS crap movie.
You also kinda notice that at first hes kinda scared looking, kinda looking like hes wondering whats going on, but as the piano spins faster and he gets older, he looks more used to it and his movements while playing are crazier.

Nope, piano was always a part of the Rock and Roll scene. It was actually first in the 60’s and 70’s that it faced out, but there were always guys like Elton, Bowie, Billy Joel and so on.
One of the truest and loveliest depictions of a healthy friendsip. Bernie knows how much Elton is hurting and he knows what he says isn't what he means. Bernie is a true mvp.
"Im sorry" -"i know" So much emotion in four words. Also i love that john lookes like he actually wants him to break something, preferbly something painful.
He's an entertainer. He's right. We want to see Elton John. And that's why he's remembered for his music and being a master showman giving his fans that love him the music they want with all the Elton they can get
The joys of seeing all the emotions going through in this movie. From Taron's facial expressions to his tones in stressing his words to the great usage of dialogues without saying so much to the lighting of the shot to the cinematography of it all. The blinding yet depressing spotlight of loneliness and the chaotic speed of the progression through his singing career. The distorted edge as he starts losing the meaning of achieving that spotlight
I think this scene really channelled Elton so so well. A combo of the actor capturing Eltons mamerisms so perfectly and the editing..perfectx. Its hard to act huffy dressed as a giant metalic rooster.. But he pulls it off... X
What are the odds that they found a actor who was perfect for the role looked like a brother to the person the movie is based after and he can sing . It's just to perfect
1:08 Ever since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball. From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all. But I ain't seen nothing like him In any amusement hall That deaf, dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball! He stands like a statue, Becomes part of the machine. Feeling all the bumpers Always playing clean. He plays by intuition, The digit counters fall. That deaf,dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball! He's a pin ball wizard He’s scores a trillion more a pin ball wizard The worlds new pin ball lord He’s scoring more.....
Foxxo EXACTLY. I hate how people think that’s an inconsistency. Bernie never yelled back. Elton more like vented to Bernie while Bernie either just stayed calm, or left to avoid an argument.
Elton: people don’t pay to see ‘Reginald Dwight’. They pay to see Elton John! Also Elton, goes on stage and doesn’t even sing one of his own songs. In a metallic chicken suit: Makes sense.
I considered it a marker of Elton as an unreliable narrator; omitting facts, or making things seem better than they are. Considering he's telling this story in a group therapy session, it makes total sense. Honestly, for me it showed self-awareness on John's part.
0:07 Tommy, film indimenticabile con Elthon superbo nel pianoforte❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤che solo lui sapeva suonare cosi'....lo ho adorato , grazie per averlo ricostruito cosi.....bravi❤...ma certo lui ....😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just finally watched this movie yesterday and granted they had an argument but Elton was always the one who Yelling at Bernie but he always kept his calm during those so Called arguments
Good friends have arguments and fight but forgive each other later, Bernie knew Elton's outburst wasn't against him personally, its was the stress, drugs and drink together with wanting to punch Reid so badly.
@@joshuagrover795 if you read Elton's book, he gave John Reid a good azz whuppin one time but because he was high when it happened, he didn't remember doing it 🤣🤣 When he got sober he saw John's face and asked what the hell happened to you and John told him. Lol
@@minty1543 I am working on one called The Life And Times Of Elton John and it's going to be a word for word reenactment of Elton along with a scene by scene reenactment or a blow by blow account that is totally unlike Rocket Man. It is going to be a very serious superaccurate docudrama covering the years 1947-1978 when Elton made the best music. And starring Julian Casablancas as Elton and Sam Forrest as Bernie Taupin.
@@RobColeFilms I'm well aware of Elton John's cover a pinball wizard for the film Tommy by The Who. I'm just saying it's strange that the sequence would have him singing a song that he and Bernie Taupin didn't write, when they were just arguing about Taupin's lyrics
(I may be the only one that thinks this), I love Elton and have no problems with the costumes, but I can totally understand where Bernie is coming from, I would love Elton just as much with or without the costumes. When you have music that is that great, you will shine no matter what you are wearing
That’s cuz Brian May (Queen guitarist and Executive Producer of BR) wanted something that a family can enjoy while Elton John wanted an R-rating, simply because his life is R-rated. Nothing wrong with either, in my opinion.
Che belli gli occhiali indossati da Taron egerton e l'abito da uccello è meraviglioso lo vorrei io mi piacerebbe tantissimo indossarlo. Cavolo!! Che fantasia ha il costumista di rocket man
It’s so wholesome that Elton went back to Bernie and said sorry.
Omg your profile pic matches your name
ikrrrr!!!!
Hmmm
Umm no

Elton immediately going back to apologize is one of the most honest portrayals of friendship I've ever seen
It shows that even though Elton might be a hothead and have a temper he knows right from wrong and when he needs to apologize. Props to Bernie though for knowing that’s just one of his moments
I loved that part. Movies often give friendships a Hallmark wash. Coming thru the turmoil is what MAKES a friendship.
This movie is bogus BS. The real Elton never said any of these things in real life. Go watch some interviews and documentaries of the real Elton for the real story, not this BS crap movie.
@@johnpolitis7929 The movie is literally produced by Elton and his husband David Furnish - you'd think he would call out inaccuracies
@@Matt..S Agreed!
I love that the piano spinns faster and faster, showing that he looses his mind more and more. The details in this movie, I'm tellin' yah
Also the distortion

@KeystoneRailfan we all love taron egerton
It's "loses", I'm telling ya.
Bernie had an incredible amount of patience when dealing with Elton's bullshit.
OTAKUGIRL55 Yes cause he understood that Elton had been dealing with enough stress and mental illness

Walrus 26 wow really
Not only for the film..he gifted that to taron
Liar
I would totally do that too if they ever made a film about me. 🤣
I loved when he apologized right before going on stage.
That’s why I respect Elton John so much. He may act up sometimes but he has a conscience and the maturity to apologize when he’s in the wrong
@@TheHManShow well…he was under a lot of stress…and drugs. So he wasn’t exactly in the right state of mind at the time but he still had conscience and knows when he’s gone too far.
1:12 Elton is thinking: "Maybe, if I smile people won't know how much I hate my job."
He loved his job...he hated the stress and other problems as we all do
He loves his job don’t you talk to Elton that way!
@@ziggysellers5566 it's a joke but in rocketman he hated himself he even called him self a b***h
Dylan Ball hating himself is totally different from hating his job.
this makes no sense. he didn't become a musician to hate his job smh
1:38 I don't know how they did it, but he looks identical to Elton John.
It’s the hair loss haha
Indeed
1:42
Aaaaa

This movie made me realize just how strange eltons career is considering he is a piano player in rock and roll. Like that combo was once unheard of
CC Lewis *Ignores existence of Freddie Mercury*
Yeah. Jerry Lee Lewis.
Nope, piano was always a part of the Rock and Roll scene. It was actually first in the 60’s and 70’s that it faced out, but there were always guys like Elton, Bowie, Billy Joel and so on.

-"i know"
So much emotion in four words.

Did I scream at 01:39 when I was at the cinema?
Oh, yes I did. Taron looks EXACTLY like Elton ❤️ This scene should have been longer 😭
Identical
And, according to Elton himself, Taron's the best impersonator of him that he's ever heard.
That shoulder movement and head up while playing the piano...so fantastically Elton John
He's an entertainer. He's right. We want to see Elton John. And that's why he's remembered for his music and being a master showman giving his fans that love him the music they want with all the Elton they can get
It didn’t matter if he was Reggie Dwight or Elton John what he truly is is a performer and a legend no matter what his name is
He’s remembered for his music more than his silly costumes
I always had respect for the way in which Elton was able to own the song from someone else's iconic work.
The joys of seeing all the emotions going through in this movie. From Taron's facial expressions to his tones in stressing his words to the great usage of dialogues without saying so much to the lighting of the shot to the cinematography of it all.

How I wish I could have seen Elton John in concert back in the 1970's. He was a Rock God!
It’s surreal how uncanny the resemblance is at 1:38.
The way he said sorry breaks my heart.

The part when Elton stops and comeback to Bernie always breaks, as he knows Bernie is the one that he can afford to be himself and explode a bit
Amazing Scene. Great version sang by Taron Egerton.

Best scene in the whole movie. Don’t even try to change my mind.

“They pay to see Tommy Walker play pinball with only his sense of smell!”
Bernie defending Elton and keeping his cool despite Elton losing his mind and then knowing he didn't mean what he said.
My favorite scene in Rocketman
“People don’t pay to see Reginald Dwight. They pay to see Elton John! And to hear The Who!”
1:08
Ever since I was a young boy,
I've played the silver ball.
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all.

Sure plays a mean pin ball!
He stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine.

Always playing clean.

I agree!
Yep
THANK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!
concuerdo 😃💫
Taron must have alot of costumes for halloween...
«Never had one argument»
So yeah
I mean it was more just Elton shouting at Bernie; an argument's more like two people shouting at each other.
Foxxo
EXACTLY. I hate how people think that’s an inconsistency. Bernie never yelled back. Elton more like vented to Bernie while Bernie either just stayed calm, or left to avoid an argument.
This is my favorite movie ever
i lovw how when taron says he's scoring again it sounds like his descent to madness
one of the best scenes the transitions I LOVE IT
My dad actually thought it was Elton John when he saw him in the white outfit during this scene.
My favorite part of the movie
Elton: people don’t pay to see ‘Reginald Dwight’. They pay to see Elton John!
Also Elton, goes on stage and doesn’t even sing one of his own songs. In a metallic chicken suit: Makes sense.
The way Taron says “ machine”😍
that spinning piano makes me DIZZZZY !!!
imagine watching this movie high or drunk... what a tripppp
Just amazing. What a film. Rocket Man should be nominated for best picture Oscar. At the very least.
Guys. Hate to break it to you.
*I would consider that an argument*
an argument is two people debating, Elton was just yelling at Bernie while he sat there and took it.
They weren't arguing though, Elton got pissed then apologied straight away isn't an argument
I considered it a marker of Elton as an unreliable narrator; omitting facts, or making things seem better than they are. Considering he's telling this story in a group therapy session, it makes total sense. Honestly, for me it showed self-awareness on John's part.
Let’s not go over what makes it an argument, let’s discuss the VALIDITY of the argument
It is, he lied, multiple times in group therapy.
"People don't pay to see 'Reginald Dwight', THEY PAY to see 'ELTON JOHN!' "
"DON'T EVER TELL ME HOW TO DO MY F*****G JOB!!"

love how the film keeps repeating (and ends with) that Elton and Bernie never had a single argument, yet there's this scene right in the middle of it
Elton just yelled at Bernie and Bernie took it. Not an argument.

Does Bernie Still Call Him Reggie or Is It John Now

Probably both Elton and Reg

2:08 hey anyone else notice the Welcome to Las Vegas sign in the back? I’m assuming it’s put there because he owns a hotel room in the one hotel

Amazing classic song!💗💕💖👌🤗
I’m surprised that there’s more swearing in this movie than Bohemian Rhapsody
Edit:Thx for all the likes 77 is the most I’ve got
I’m pretty sure Elton had a more R-rated life than Freddie, although Freddie was probably just as bad :)
If I remember right, Bohemian Rhapsody had barely any swearing
Bohemian Rhapsody was PG13 so it was ridiculously muted. They could go more raw with an R Rating in Rocketman and it definitely makes a difference
Pg 13 is way different than R
That’s cuz Brian May (Queen guitarist and Executive Producer of BR) wanted something that a family can enjoy while Elton John wanted an R-rating, simply because his life is R-rated. Nothing wrong with either, in my opinion.
"Sorry"
"I know" 😭
Love it Fantastic
I love how this scene makes feel like I'm on a temporary acid trip
Alguien más cree que Taron tiene la voz de un verdadero rockero?... su voz es increíble 😱
