Actor Taron Egerton stated the film would be more of a fantasy-musical as opposed to a straightforward biopic.
Thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the film, the personal struggles, drugs, the ups & downs, and celebrating of the amazing Life of of Elton John.
Sang along with the songs as there were less than 10 in the audience at 11:05 pm on the opening night.
Elton John has the ability to “play by ear” – instantly replaying a piece perfectly after listening to it once.
You would think that melody and music comes first, then lyrics are written later. But it was amazing for me as a Writer to watch the process of Elton John writing music for the completed lyrics of Bernie Taupin.
So it was moving and amazing to see how great the fulfillment of Bernie Taupin was in hearing his LYRICS some alive with Elton John’s writing of the melody and music to the lyrics and creating a SONG i.e. lyrics and music.
Elton John & Bernie Taupin is one of the world’s most successful and prolific singer-songwriter teams in history together with John Lennon & Paul McCartney team.
Something is so wonderfully MAGICAL when a PARTNERSHIP WORKS like Elton John & Bernie Taupin just like Brenda and I as a Co-coaches and business partners, and now Twin Souls.
Magical Partnerships apply to all types of business, creative work, writing, designwork, dancing, sports, fashion, music, film, acting (e.g. chemistry between the leading actor and actress), food & beverage, economics, military, politics, and all areas of life.
It is so unfortunate that nowadays WRITERS are less valued than say the more glamorous Art Directors (vs. Copywriters in advertising), Singers & Music Writers (vs. Lyrics-Songwriters), Film Directors & Cinematographers (vs. Scriptwriters), Graphic Designers & PowerPoint Designers (vs. Content writers), Photographers (vs. Journalists), Videographers (vs. Text writers), Visual Artists (vs. Author-Book Writers), Show Actors (vs. Comedy writers), News Anchors (vs. News writers), etc.
Here are the historical inaccuracies in the film: https://tinyurl.com/yyhrodtq
BTW, Elton (Hercules) John is definitely a better stage name than “Reginald Dwight”.

Nothing Amazes Me When My Writing Touches Someone
About My Writing
As a Writer, NOTHING AMAZES and TOUCHES ME than when someone uses my words, my quotation, my writing, my articles, or my written philosophies in their lives.
If someone only just one leaves a cult, someone was saved from being scammed, someone finds solace from grieving, someone finds truth, love, light and wisdom from #Whisperings with Angel Brenda, someone finds solutions in leadership, or any management and personal effectiveness subjects, someone laughs at their adversities, or someone finds a good place or a good dish to eat – because of my writing, I’m good. I did good.
Only Writers know what I’m talking about.
Some people including my brother asked me why I write so much or post Facebook blogs or YouTube vlogs for no monetary gain, and hardly any words of thanks from fans, readers, viewers, and followers.
My gain and my return of my good KARMA is my writing has touched some people. I’m so good.
As The Whisperer I have “seen’ my past lives. In countless lives I was a Writer of Many Art Forms – troubadour, songwriter, philosophy writer, political writer, spiritual writer, poet,
And this lifetime an advertising copywriter, learning course writer, vlog writer, business and venture builder writer.
I will like to use my writing and work with Art Directors, Videographers, Cinematographers, Song-Music Writers, and Script Writers.
