The rehab scenes always hold a place in my heart that just gives me so much comfort. My uncle is a incredible man. He's had such a crazy journey in life. And all he wants to do, is help people to overcome the same things he did. He loves to help. That's one of the many things I admire about Uncle Elton. He doesn't give up. And he never gave up on Betty. He cared about her and her situation. They became such amazing friends. And I'm so glad they did. Because I can't imagine a world where I don't have Uncle Elton and Uncle David. Or the boys. Or Taron. He holds my heart in his and that? Is the best feeling in the world.
"The pain, and the joy, and the sorrow, you turn it into songs people love." Those words rung in my mind, showing just how much of an impact Uncle Elton has had on so many lives. This scene was so incredibly emotional. Seeing him confront the people that have had such huge roles in who he is today. Fighting his demons off once and for all, telling them that he's tired of it. Tired of being ridiculed and put down. And Taron? Did it beautifully.
"You just need to remember who you are. And be okay with it." Uncle Elton was stood next to me, watching this beautiful scene unfold and I could barely contain my tears. We have gone on such an amazing journey together with Rocketman. It's shown me who I really am. And that I shouldn't be afraid to show the world just that. Be who I was meant to be. Do what I love and don't hold back. And Taron? He broke me free from my fear of myself.
The emotional impact from the scenes was something that just struck me right in the heart. Uncle Elton loved this man. He longed for this love more than anything. But he was used. Played. And that killed me to even think about. Because he's so easy to love. And just like him at one point, I was the same. I thought I was so hard to love. Or that I could never be properly loved. Until Taron came along. And showed me my worth.
"Aren't you going to hug me?" My tears were freely flowing at this point, watching them finally hug on the monitors. Everyone was so invested in what was unfolding before us. It felt so.... special. The time Uncle Elton finally accepted himself. Embraced himself.
"Oh darling. It's okay. See? You overcame yourself. You proved them wrong. You're a bright star in my life sweetheart. And you've always reminded me of myself. And like me, you've become and accepted who you were meant to be. And I'm proud of you." Uncle Elton hugged me tightly to him, and my tears just continued to roll, even after Dex yelled cut. This film is brilliant.
