Rocketman ; un film biographique musical acclamé.
« Rocketman » est le film biographique dédié à la vie du célèbre chanteur britannique Elton John. Réalisé par Dexter Fletcher, écrit par Lee Hall, ce long-métrage musical met en vedette Taron Egerton. Jamie Bell, Richard Madden et Bryce Dallas Howard complètent la distribution avec des performances fortes et marquantes.

Le film est présenté pour la première fois au Festival de Cannes le 16 mai 2019. Il sort au Royaume-Uni le 22 mai 2019, puis aux États-Unis le 31 mai de la même année. Avec un budget de 40 millions de dollars, le film biographique engrange 154 millions au box-office mondial. La critique salue la performance d’Egerton, la bande sonore, les costumes et les scènes musicales flamboyantes.
Une ouverture spectaculaire et introspective pour Rocketman.
Le film commence avec Elton John entrant dans un centre de désintoxication vêtu d’un costume de diable. Il commence à raconter sa vie, plongé dans un long flash-back rempli d’émotions et de contrastes. Son enfance est marquée par une mère distante, Sheila, et une grand-mère aimante, Ivy.
Son père, Stanley, militaire, est quasiment absent de la maison. Elton, encore enfant, se passionne pour le piano et espère impressionner son père. Mais Stanley refuse de l’écouter, indifférent à son fils et à ses dons musicaux.
Les débuts de la carrière musicale.

Avec le soutien d’Ivy, le jeune Elton prend des cours de musique. Il intègre plus tard la prestigieuse Royal Academy of Music à Londres. Après le départ définitif de son père, Elton découvre le rock, notamment Elvis Presley.
Il commence à jouer dans des pubs locaux et rejoint le groupe Bluesology.
Sous contrat avec le label DJM Records, il rencontre Bernie Taupin, futur ami et collaborateur fidèle. Ensemble, ils composent “Your Song”, chanson qui impressionne leur producteur, Dick James.
Rocketman raconte le succès et la descente aux enfers.
Une performance au Troubadour de Los Angeles marque le véritable envol d’Elton John.
Il attire l’attention du directeur John Reid, qui devient à la fois son agent et son amant.
Sous l’influence de Reid, Elton tombe dans une spirale d’excès et de débauche.

Malgré la gloire, Elton sombre dans l’isolement, la dépendance et les tentatives de suicide.
Il souffre d’un mariage raté, de rejet parental et d’une carrière déshumanisante. Reid, insensible, le pousse à continuer malgré ses problèmes de santé.
Une renaissance grâce à la réhabilitation.
Épuisé, Elton quitte un concert à Madison Square Garden pour se faire soigner.
En cure, il comprend qu’il n’a plus besoin de ses parents ni de John Reid. Il renoue avec Bernie Taupin, qui lui apporte de nouvelles chansons.

Elton a peur de ne plus créer sans drogue ni alcool, mais Bernie le rassure. Il écrit “I’m Still Standing”, symbole de sa résilience et de son retour sur scène.
Le film biographique « Rocketman » célèbre ainsi la vérité, la douleur, mais surtout la renaissance d’un artiste devenu légende.
