Inspired by Broadway play, ALL THAT JAZZ when actor/director looks into backstage mirror before going on stage, changes frown to broad smile and says: "SHOWTIME!"
it’s a sad scene because everything I watch it I want to just tell him to be honest to everyone and then my thoughts change to: ‘me when I get to school’ 😂
@Jesús Andrés Soto aww man dude, I get it. Gettin rejected by a girl ya really like is hard to get over. Take your time, and listen to NOBODY who says “mAn Up YoU bAbY”
Just watched the behind the scenes for this, and Taron sinking and singing at the bottom of the pool WASNT cgi. He was weighted under his robe and had a SCUBA diver on standby to give him oxygen when need be. Y’all I’m losing my MIND. This is one of the coolest movies Ive seen in a long time.
3:07 such a great transition that represents the very very short amount of time he had to recover. straight from a hospital bed to the stage. which was very true.
I wouldnt be surprised if John reid made him go out there bc right before taron sings his part of goodbye yellow brick road, and right after his overdose, John reid makes him go out to perform
Alexbutalsotrash Elton said in a recent interview that it all happened 2 days before the show, but I’ve seen people say that he stated in a book it happened just 24h before. But it was a very short period of time anyway
Theres so many little cool set up scenes in this movie like when elton and. Berine first come over here and the build up to him playing the troubadour fuckin bad ass
Sandy Romano and your such a sheep. Did this doc have a scene where Elton was with multiple underage boys in a hotel room in the 80’s. Course not. #Pedowood
Haha I love the interview where Taron said that before even trying to film it he suggested they use CGI cause he didnt think he'd be able to do it and then was able to hit the all every single time lol. I love Taron!
This scene alone has more heart and gravitas than the entire runtime of Bohemian Rhapsody. Plus, the fact that Taron recorded and performed all of the songs is a true testament to his talent. He honors Elton
@@merpleberg The editing for BoRhap is.. Atrocious.. I don't think the editor understood there's more ways to frame something that "Shot, reverse shot" or weird cuts.. *sigh*
Madison Square Garden: November 12, 1984. Elton sort of collapses after playing “Rocket Man”. They carry him off...administer oxygen. After a few minutes, he comes back out and keeps playing! True story: I was there. No matter how much art they put into it-they can’t match the true heart 💜 of Elton. I will never forget his courage in coming back out.
Even though the suicide scene is by far the darkest scene in the movie, I find it to be one of the most memorable scenes. It also has a good outcome as after he is rescued, his view on life changes for the better.
Suicide attempts never have a good outcome and your perspective suddenly changes for the better. The Goodbye Yellow Brick Road sequence, in my POV, he was at his lowest. Deciding to ditch the industry and get help is what had the better outcome
True, but "meaty" roles like ROCKETMAN do not come around that often. I'm perplexed at Academy, since Elton has been part of "Oscars scene" for years; his Oscar night parties are legendary. You wold have thought they'd have given him SOME consideration.
This scene is so heartbreaking and breathtakingly beautiful all at once. The visuals are stunning and the emotions just flood in. I was only able to catch this movie once at the theaters. Cannot wait for the dvd release.
Seeing Elton doing this and realizing how much pain he was in... this scene broke my heart and made me cry. It also made me appreciate him more as an artist and made me happy he got the help he needed. As a result of that he met his husband, kept performing and collaborating with Bernie, helped people with AIDS, and became an amazing father to his two boys.
What hits me most is the way the medical staff treat him. We have to remember this was during the 70's drug crisis, when medical world didn't know how to treat or deal with drug abuse. The actors did a great job of seeming distant to him, non welcoming.
You can't really compare these two movies , BoRap was a Biopic on Freedy Mercury and Queen but this ... This is something else , the way they incorporated the songs of his into a freakin musical plus all those transition is fuckin great ! BoRap was a great movie on a genre which is already cemented by great movies before but Rocketman tried to do something really different and it fuckin succeed ! You can't really compare these two ! Only reason some people hate this movie is because the wanted a proper biopic on EJ like BoRap but i don't think EJ would like that when he's got this !
I love both Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman. Queen and Elton John are both in my top 5 favorite music. But you can't compare the two movies the are both great in how the portray Freddie and Elton
I love how even though this song was written for actual astronauts by Bernie, it fits perfectly well with the climax of the movie & Elton’s story. Metaphorically at this point in the movie and his life, Elton actually “missed the earth” cause he couldn’t relate to anyone and it was “lonely out in space” which is basically the stage - and Elton being the standalone focus there. “I think It’s gonna be a long long time” - him being alone for a long time, just as his mother mentions it to him earlier in the movie. “Not that man I think I am at home” Elton would always leave his ‘actual self’ - Reginald Dwight at home, and get him to the stage; where he would wear extravagant costumes to be Elton John, in fact Bernie also tells him to be his ‘actual self’, the only actual friend Elton had - & he was right all along. Also, Rocketman can stand for his fame and incessant hit singles at the time which meant that he was at the epitome of his career too. Y’all agree?
From using his song for drama school To being with him in a movie:Kingsman Then playing his song in a animated movie:sing Then Playing him in the best movie ever: Rocketman
it’s literally been 3 months since i’ve watched this movie and i have seen it 3 times. i’m still coming back to the great bits and pieces of the songs because taron is such a good actor.
I cried during this part. I can’t even fathom what he went through. Especially because his suicide attempt was his way of crying out for someone to help him. So glad that in the end, he got the help he really needed.
This is what acting is all about. It is not the lines, it's the performance that all actors and actresses not only to entertain, they put all their heart and soul for the role they did. Taron put a performance that was inspiring, sad, and amazing. He was Elton John. Last year had amazing performances like: Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems, and Robert Di Nio in The Irishman. This scene is so powerful and I have to say that was the best scene in the entire film. Reason because it's when Elton's life began to go out of control, and believed that there was nothing left for him, so he decided to get drugged out and kill himself by drowning in the pool, but that was when his younger self who was like his guardian angel and he told Elton that it's not time to die and do what you were born to be. And people saved Elton like it was angels bringing him back. Then the ambulance gets his stomach pumped up and takes him to Dodger stadium and backstage people dress him up while he feels dead and wasted and goes out smiling and performs. That's heartbreaking to watch for people including Elton. Taron make that scene heartbreaking and amazing. Rocketman was amazing and Taron deserved that oscar nomination and the movie should have been nominated for more categories. Other then that, Taron Edgerton was Elton John, and Rocketman was awesome. We ❤💯 you Elton.
This scene is brilliant, especially the ballet in front of the window. I’m still heart broken that Taron was snubbed at the Oscars, he deserved better.
I think because for the most part Queen is bigger than Elton John, popularity wise. In terms of their movies I found Rocketman the better movie, even though I would choose Queen over Elton John (luckily I don't have to choose and I can enjoy them both:)
Jesus Christ, so nice to see how Reid has his priorities straight in this scene. His incredible lows and his incredible highs, Elton certainly has lived life.
This movie breaks my heart. Not because of Elton John's story but because it is one of the last movies I watched with the love of my life before losing her.
Taron’s acting and commitment to this movie was simply brilliant!! Elton will be forever one of my favorite artist. Elton the world is grateful that you made it through your tough times. Not just because of your incredible music, but because you’re an amazing human being. Much love from the US.
This movie was a visual masterpiece of a man who had to balance being a stage persona while having some serious internal struggles. I can only relate to the second part. I'm not a huge fan of musicals but something about this morning struck the right cords in me. I want whoever is reading this to know, that you are loved and your life is worth it.
It’s been 2 years, and no matter how many times I watch this scene, I bawl my eyes out every time. It breaks my heart every time. Taron did and amazing job in acting out this scene, and the every other scene in the movie
I'm a Queen fan all the way, but I have to admit, because of scenes like this, Rocketman was a way better movie than Bohemian Rhapsody. They were both biopocs, but where BR was a straight biopic, Rocketman told it like a musical, using Elton's songs to convey the mood of each scene. Rocketman was so much better in many ways and yet, received little to no Oscar attention. I just don't understand. Anyway, love Elton, Taron, Bernie and Rocketman so much, they did an amazing job ❤
I think it's kinda cool how they depicted his performances like he's not even present. All of it is just fantastical blur and the only real moments where he actually knew what was happening were in the plane and in the pool. The movie seamlessly transitions between both worlds and the plane specifically felt like a whimsical shot until it cuts to him actually being in the plane smoking weed and you realize that plane was real.
@@traydaniel0403 I understand he went through a lot but there's nothing inherently about that smile that comes across a sad to me. That could just be me though so who knows.
late to the party but just saw this and good god this scene blew me away. Heartbreaking but it gets to the core themes of the movie (emotionally with Elton's self-hatred and self-destruction, and more literally with the drugs and songs both being featured) while also showing us this emotional and hurt side he isn't letting himself show and even acknowledging himself, and his beginning of a fight for his life (even if it's mostly passive except when he rips of the oxygen mask but I assume that's more to let him struggle to express himself musically than to show him trying to die), the way drugs and his unhealthy relationships (producer and his parents) have taken him away from being someone good who recognizes himself and values himself, how drugs did the same, and the way music is so important especially as an outlet for him. Then the end where he's deeply fake, seeming to feel he owes it to the public to be ok and not accept any help he needs except in private and in the most dire of circumstances where his life is entirely on the line. It's just beautiful visually and so complex beyond that (and tragic af) and I adore it. Easy to see how this song comes from the man to write Solidarity, the best ensemble number to ever bless Broadway.
I first watched this movie about a week before the world went into quarantine and lockdown and I kept rewatching this scene throughout quarantine because it brought so much joy to me in a very dark time for both myself and the world. Now every time I hear this song, I immediately get taken back to March/April 2020
Rocketman and Taron deserved an Oscar, the movie is not only incredible but it catches you from start to finish with music that reaches the soul, I am not a fan of Elton John but the movie is very well done each song was at the precise moment of the movie, only the performance of Taron who was supervised by Elton himself, big difference from the shit of Bohemian Rhpasody that being a fan I was disappointed to see a movie that was only advertising and marketing and a mediocre performance by Remi who never managed to capture the charisma by Freddie, Rocketman is definitely the best movie based on the life of a singer, I've seen it a thousand times and I never get tired.
I am a fan of both artists' music (more of Queen actually), but Rocketman touched me in a way BR didn't. It was more sensitive, emotional and relatable. Some scenes just hit the right spot. This one got on my top 10 favorite movies ever.
In the 70's Elton John came to Lincoln NE. Someone in his team did their homework because when he took the stage he called out "Where are my northeast Rockets?" And the place went berserk.
Dude, when I saw this in theaters, I literally thought damn, this is the magic of cinema. Not crap CGI Star Wars no character development movies or shit Dwayne the Rock Johnson movies. This is what films should be.
He did such an amazing job as Elton John. This movie really speaks to me and has opened my eyes to a lot of things in my own life. Elton John we love you ❤️💙❤️
michael nichols the thing is he didn’t lip synch the singing was combined with Freddy,Rami,Marc Martel so he actually was singing his heart out in every scene
Luis Pandar the film was literally all Freddie Mercury’s voice, with Marc Martel filling in whenever it wasn’t a concert-i don’t know how you could mistake Freddie’s voice for anyone else’s

just realized that the lyrics had been changed to "I miss my LIFE" from "I miss my wife"
I thought it was just me to notice this
It’s funny how one word can change the meaning and perspective of the song
Jonah Silva more so ONE LETTER
ikr?! I thought that I was the only one to notice
This change from "wife" to "life" was made after Elton came out as Gay.
That fake smile before entering the stage hit me hard

Even though the suicide scene is by far the darkest scene in the movie, I find it to be one of the most memorable scenes. It also has a good outcome as after he is rescued, his view on life changes for the better.
Nah, he even goes dark still after this with Bennie and the Jets and lot more after that, till he realizes he needs help

I'm a Queen fan all the way, but I have to admit, because of scenes like this, Rocketman was a way better movie than Bohemian Rhapsody. They were both biopocs, but where BR was a straight biopic, Rocketman told it like a musical, using Elton's songs to convey the mood of each scene. Rocketman was so much better in many ways and yet, received little to no Oscar attention. I just don't understand. Anyway, love Elton, Taron, Bernie and Rocketman so much, they did an amazing job ❤
This scene was uhhhhh.... just sooo good I had chills the entire time. This movie was just really phenomenal. 👏
Naomi Love I completely agree and I couldn’t have said it any better myself!!! 🙏
@@treybigswan6547 YES!
I think it's kinda cool how they depicted his performances like he's not even present. All of it is just fantastical blur and the only real moments where he actually knew what was happening were in the plane and in the pool. The movie seamlessly transitions between both worlds and the plane specifically felt like a whimsical shot until it cuts to him actually being in the plane smoking weed and you realize that plane was real.
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 'till I see a movie as good as this one. What a masterpiece.
A interesting things happens at 2:44 Elton’s (Taron) gap disappears and I think it was intentional to show that Elton is fantasizing
And i think it's gonna be a long long time
RIO till touchdown brings me around again to find
@@Mugzzzz i'm not the man they think i am at home.. oh no no no
RIO I’m a rocket man!
Kobe Crawford what’s the gap
3:34 That smile broke my heart inside...
Why is that?
@@bigkmoviesandgames Why? Because after all he had gone through
@@traydaniel0403 I understand he went through a lot but there's nothing inherently about that smile that comes across a sad to me. That could just be me though so who knows.
4:25 This definitely happened in real life
@@FuturePresentPast-gl8he i wanna know your comment is a joke
@@FuturePresentPast-gl8he it's a god damn joke
Eggsy it’s a joke, calm tf down
@@FuturePresentPast-gl8he he’s not a wimp for not replying, he’s just not dealing with your weird amount of anger
@@FuturePresentPast-gl8he apparantly you cant sense sarcasm
Honestly, this was my favorite scene in the entire film
Elton rules the theater at his concerts. He's my favorite singer
I never noticed his mom has screaming a crying “ my baby” when he was getting wheeled into the ambulance.
So she did love him after all
@@FuturePresentPast-gl8he oh yeah could be that too
@@FuturePresentPast-gl8he
Meh... I think most mothers would be worried if their child did that. Even elton’s mom
late to the party but just saw this and good god this scene blew me away. Heartbreaking but it gets to the core themes of the movie (emotionally with Elton's self-hatred and self-destruction, and more literally with the drugs and songs both being featured) while also showing us this emotional and hurt side he isn't letting himself show and even acknowledging himself, and his beginning of a fight for his life (even if it's mostly passive except when he rips of the oxygen mask but I assume that's more to let him struggle to express himself musically than to show him trying to die), the way drugs and his unhealthy relationships (producer and his parents) have taken him away from being someone good who recognizes himself and values himself, how drugs did the same, and the way music is so important especially as an outlet for him. Then the end where he's deeply fake, seeming to feel he owes it to the public to be ok and not accept any help he needs except in private and in the most dire of circumstances where his life is entirely on the line. It's just beautiful visually and so complex beyond that (and tragic af) and I adore it. Easy to see how this song comes from the man to write Solidarity, the best ensemble number to ever bless Broadway.
I first watched this movie about a week before the world went into quarantine and lockdown and I kept rewatching this scene throughout quarantine because it brought so much joy to me in a very dark time for both myself and the world. Now every time I hear this song, I immediately get taken back to March/April 2020
remember guys depression fights hard but we fight harder have a good day guys 😃😃😃
Such a great movie. What a life. What a talent. Amazing, how he managed to finally overcome the pain & be truly happy.
If Taron doesn’t get an Oscar for this, we ride at dawn.
Damn right..
No, Phoenix deserved
Nominations out. Taron got nothing.
If taron doesn't get an Oscar I'll screamed
@@thebillsierraoscarclub Over Joaquin Phoenix? HELL NOOO
This scene is so haunting. Just gorgeous.
Rocketman and Taron deserved an Oscar, the movie is not only incredible but it catches you from start to finish with music that reaches the soul, I am not a fan of Elton John but the movie is very well done each song was at the precise moment of the movie, only the performance of Taron who was supervised by Elton himself, big difference from the shit of Bohemian Rhpasody that being a fan I was disappointed to see a movie that was only advertising and marketing and a mediocre performance by Remi who never managed to capture the charisma by Freddie, Rocketman is definitely the best movie based on the life of a singer, I've seen it a thousand times and I never get tired.
I am a fan of both artists' music (more of Queen actually), but Rocketman touched me in a way BR didn't. It was more sensitive, emotional and relatable. Some scenes just hit the right spot.
This one got on my top 10 favorite movies ever.
In the 70's Elton John came to Lincoln NE. Someone in his team did their homework because when he took the stage he called out "Where are my northeast Rockets?" And the place went berserk.
This is definitely the best scene of the movie. Music, acting, feelings,… all are excellent in this.
I can't even began to tell u the amount of times I cried during this movie! It literally broke my heart...
This scene. Is A Fucking Masterpiece.
This whole movie is. Damn. I have no words to do it justice.
from a innocent child to a gay super music lord . respect it
His incredible lows and his incredible highs, Elton certainly has lived life.
Nobodies talking about these incredible under water effects
Those aren’t effects, they filmed the scene underwater.
Ben Ransley the kid was greenscreened however
Dude, when I saw this in theaters, I literally thought damn, this is the magic of cinema. Not crap CGI Star Wars no character development movies or shit Dwayne the Rock Johnson movies. This is what films should be.
Insert Redletter Media Meme Here but the crowd and him flying into CGI. I’m so confused lmao
bitch what?
Insert Redletter Media Meme Here taron was actually underwater in this scene however the kid was greenscreened
The first two star wars movies are far better movies than this
This is better than bohemian rhapsody
I agree I loved this movie I love bohemian rapsody to but I liked roket man better
Zouma chocolate YES
Bohemian Rhapsody was more lighter and less dramatic tbh
When bernie showed up I literally started crying i cant
He did such an amazing job as Elton John. This movie really speaks to me and has opened my eyes to a lot of things in my own life. Elton John we love you ❤️💙❤️
I keep watching this over and over again
I can't stop watching this scene because it is very exciting. That song had never heard. What I had heard before launching was Bohemian Rhapsody.
4:32 when you realize Elton John is actually Iron Man...
He's not Iron Man, he's Rocket Man
Can't watch this movie without crying. Runs so deep. Love him.
Because I'm morbid, allow me to give you all a poem
Roses are red
I have a vase on my shelf
0:12
LOL
I wish this version was on spotify. With the little boy and also the piano coming in loudly.
If people busted in there shorts for rami for wearing fake teeth and lip synching than edgertin better kill every award ceremony this year
michael nichols the thing is he didn’t lip synch the singing was combined with Freddy,Rami,Marc Martel so he actually was singing his heart out in every scene
michael nichols wtt rami did an amazing job
Taron was told by Elton to not lip sync and to create his own versions of the song
Luis Pandar the film was literally all Freddie Mercury’s voice, with Marc Martel filling in whenever it wasn’t a concert-i don’t know how you could mistake Freddie’s voice for anyone else’s
michael nichols he won’t, this film came out too early in the year-he’s going to get snubbed
One of the most powerful scenes of this movie. Followed closely by the little Elton at the end.
Can’t even lie I cried at this scene
I cried in the theater even though I knew what was coming. Huge Elton fan.
This man should have won an oscar
This gave me goosebumps
Drinx this whole movie made me reflect my whole life
I've always loved this song but after this movie I have a whole new appreciation for it!
Watched it a few times..amazing sequence of scenes to connect the different parts of his life with a bit of fantasy and showmanship thrown in...
One scene shows all meaning of musicians of those time
