It was exactly what one would think a movie about Elton to be. Stylish, flamboyant, gaudy, and spectacular. The movie fit with his non traditional style. Elton, being the performer that he is, would never dream of doing the standard biopic. This movie depicted his life and career in true charisma, music and showmanship, just like his concerts. His personality was his music and his music was his personality. I loved it.
