I don't recall ALL the hype but I did hear that it was a pretty good movie and even Sir Elton himself approved.
I've always liked a lot of Elton's music. I didn't really know his background because most of the time I don't care about such things of musical artists. I just like and listen to their music. However, the way this movie was written and directed, it made me interested in Elton's 'life' history.
The seemingly raw, natural talent he had to put music to lyrics was pretty cool to learn about. And you could tell that the songs had some personal and emotional basis to them...like was Bernie writing them about Elton only or did he himself experience much of the same turmoil. I don't know. I just know this has to be the reason so many people can connect, feel connected, to the songs.
I could go on and on I guess but I'll digress.
FINAL VERDICT: I would definitely recommend this movie especially for those who grew up when music was music and not the SHIT (most of it) it is today!
