Rocketman or Bohemian Rhapsody 2? Rocketman screened at Cannes in the out of competition segment of the festival last night (May 16). Rocketman plays out almost exactly the same way Bohemian Rhapsody does, leading some to believe Freddy Mercury and Elton John lived the same life. However, Rocketman does a better job at combining the music into the film to further plot so it actually comes off as more of a stage musical. The movie was thoroughly entertaining, and you never know, it could possibly end up with an Oscar nomination.
