Those moments seemed much more a concern than the language or sexuality or drugs. Significantly, young children might be quite upset about the very harsh mother character and the statements she makes to her adult son.

#ELTON JOHN ROCKET MAN ITUNES MOVIE#

I think most adults are big Elton John fans and may be tempted to want to share this movie with their kids, to share the music they've loved for so long, but this is mostly a grown up movie, high school and older, and kids younger than 14 might not be ready to see the scenes featuring drug use, and implied sexual acts.

Many scenes show John snorting lines of cocaine and drinking heavily he appears sloppy and out of it, and the people in his life criticize his use. Violence is minimal, but at one point a man hits his boyfriend in the face, leaving bruises, and a character washes down pills with vodka before standing on a diving board and declaring that he's going to kill himself. Some of the film's language is also connected to John's sexuality at various points in the film he's called - or calls himself - 'f-g,' 'poofter,' 'fairy,' and 'queen' (other salty terms include 's-t,' 'f-k,' and more). Expect many scenes of flirtation, romance, and affection between men, as well as a frank sex scene that begins with men kissing passionately before falling into bed to pull of their clothes they're briefly shown nude and moving rhythmically together. (Ultimately, we learn that he's nearly three decades sober.) John is also a proud gay man, and the film doesn't shy away from showing that part of his life. His addictions and flaws are addressed frankly the movie begins with him admitting he's an alcoholic, a drug addict, a sex addict, and a shopaholic, and viewers see him indulging openly during the movie. It has plenty of mature content, but the overall tone is sweet and life-affirming, and John is portrayed as someone who has the trappings of fame and success but only finds true happiness through deep, authentic connections with other people. Parents need to know that Rocketman is a musical biopic about the life and work of Elton John ( Taron Egerton).
