Bohemian Rhapsody: 1 line theme ×1

Sing: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (craft): Rocketman → Sing. Katie's son knows Elton John's 'I'm Still Standing' from Sing, and the end of Rocketman is where it all ties back together.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (genre boom): Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story → Rocketman. Walk Hard did not deflate the music biopic; Rocketman, Bohemian Rhapsody and Respect kept coming, certifying it as a subgenre.
    “So it didn't actually deflate anything. If anything, it almost like raised them up and certified them as an ongoing subgenre in film.”

verdict (1)

  1. verdict (verdict): Jamie Bell → Rocketman. Bell is the heart of Rocketman; his David Oyelowo award for the hardest job, playing a decent, uncomplicated person.
    “It is my David Oyello award for the thing that's toughest to do, which is just to play a decent on complicated person.”
