Thanks to director Fletcher , Rocketman ’s sex activity scenestayed in the pic , and that scene is not the only one that helped the movie earn an gas constant rating . As John himself explained toThe Guardian , it was crucial to him to keep in the R - rated constituent of the history even though it could offend the film ’s box office . John actually had to defend studios for years to get the flick made his way , but ultimately won out and get the relatively warts - and - allRocketmanhe was hoping for . John tell :
Some studios want to tone down the sex and drugs so the film would get a PG-13 rating . But I just have n’t led a PG-13 rated life . I did n’t need a film compact with drug and sexual activity , but equally , everyone make love I had quite a heap of both during the 70s and 80s , so there did n’t seem to be much detail in hit a moving picture that connote that after every fishgig , I ’d softly go back to my hotel room with only a glass of affectionate milk and the Gideon ’s Bible for company .
The issue ofRocketman ’s gay sexual urge scene call for on greater urgency of course afterBohemian Rhapsodynotoriously toned down Freddie Mercury ’s bisexuality . It seems John was not interested in toning down any view of his aliveness to earn a more family favorable valuation , which should ensue in a more honest and raw depicting of his story . melodic biopics are of course of action very popular , but most of the time they water down the more potentially problematic aspect of their subjects ' lives for ward off alienate fans who perhaps would rather think their preferred star in a less controversial luminosity .
Rocketmanindeed differs fromBohemian Rhapsodyin several ways , the openhanded one being the fact that starEgerton does his own vocalizing , resulting in a film that has been described as more of a melodious fantasy than a straight biopic . It remains to be seen if theRocketmanapproach to John will go over as big asBohemian Rhapsody , which in addition to making almost a billion dollars worldwide , also garnered an Oscar for star Rami Malek .
