Yesterday, I went to see the movie Rocketman (2019). It's a movie about Elton John. When I went to see it, I was sure of two things:
1) Biopics are a genre that's hard to mess up; I can't think of a bad movie in this category off the top of my head.
2) There will definitely be explicit gay scenes.
I was right about the first point, and that's it. I can't say that I particularly liked or was impressed by the movie. It was watchable, without being boring or repulsive, but nothing more. In principle, that's not bad, especially if you're going to the movies not for the movie itself, but for a social event.
I liked that the characters in the movie sing in the original language with Russian subtitles. Who knows, maybe my grandchildren (who will never exist) will live to see the day when new movies are shown with the original soundtrack. But even these small steps in that direction are pleasing.
After the movie, I read Elton John's biography on Wikipedia. In essence, many things in the movie are conveyed almost verbatim, but with some adjustments for a certain compression and haste - well, it's understandable, it's not easy to cover a person's life in a movie format.
And now about the second point. To my surprise, there were no gay scenes, not even kisses. Moreover, there was a short and explicit (a breast was shown) heterosexual scene. I was struck by this sudden directorial move, but when I was searching for the poster, I came across many articles of this kind:

The musical film "Rocketman" about Elton John, directed by Dexter Fletcher, was censored in Russian distribution. Scenes of intimacy between men were cut from both versions - the dubbed version and the one with subtitles - and episodes related to drug use were shortened. A slide from the end credits, which said that John had finally met his true love (there was a photo with his husband), was also removed.

That's the situation.
Oh yes, I almost forgot - Robb Stark also gives Elton a beating with a cane. That alone is worth seeing.
I also wrote this review for another well-known website with funny pictures, so this is not plagiarism - it's the distribution of my own work.
