Movies About Some of The Greatest Musicians of All Time

Published

on

Music surrounds us throughout our entire lives. It is everywhere — in TV adverts, video games, radio, and even on slot games like the Platincasino slots UK. We cannot have music withouth the many extraordinary musicians worldwide. The talent these people exude makes it unsurprising that they are made into the subject of movies. Here are some of the best music movies ever made. 

Rocketman 

Rocketman might be called a biopic, but Taron Egerton, who plays Sir Elton John in the film, calls it a fantasy musical — and that’s much closer to the mark. As John’s hit songs span decades, Rocketman explores the highs and lows of his career. 

Through the performance of I Want Love, we can sense the crushing loneliness of the singer’s childhood home. Afterwards, we witness the rebirth of his energy as he appears from a rehabilitation facility belting out I’m Still Standing. There is no doubt that Rocketman is a beautiful tribute to one of our greatest living singer-songwriters. It is spectacular, impactful, and over-the-top without any apologies.

Bohemian Rhapsody

In this electrifying story of Queen’s meteoric rise to rock and roll stardom, Rami Malek plays Freddie Mercury. There is a strong focus on Freddie’s sexuality throughout the story, which is beautifully presented. Due to Mercury’s undeniable talent, success comes easily to him from the start. Despite this, the ongoing struggles are incredibly fascinating. Bohemian Rhapsody truly dazzles when it examines Mercury’s relationships. Throughout the film, Freddie surrounds himself with a group of compelling people with various personalities. 

Aside from the fascinating storyline, the epic rock music of Queen plays throughout the movie. There were great reviews for this movie, even from critics who aren’t typically into such films. 

I Saw the Light 

A beautifully mounted film biography about Hank Williams, I Saw The Light does not disappoint. In this film, Tom Hiddleston plays Williams, and it’s easy to see why he’s perfect for the role due to his uncanny similarity to the singer. He also sings in a yodel-like manner, similar to the style of Williams. 

As I Saw the Light unfolds, it shows the singer’s stunning rise to fame to his significant decline, revealing many things about the life of this legend of country music that was previously unknown or hidden from the public.

Elvis 

Elvis is a musical drama production which tells the story of Elvis Presley’s life from the perspective of his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, played by Tom Hanks. With the rise of Presley’s fame and unprecedented stardom, the story explores the complex relationship between Presley and Parker set during the turbulent and evolving cultural landscape of the USA in the 1950s to 1970s. An influential and significant figure in Elvis’s life, Priscilla Presley, is at the centre of that journey. 

The musical numbers by Elvis are undoubtedly entertaining, even with some modern remixes. In addition, Austin Butler’s superb performance only further enhances it.

Conclusion

These movies are a must-watch if you love music and want something interesting to watch. Whatever your taste in music, there will be something for you. Those who enjoy rock music might be interested in The Dirt, based on Motley Crue, or those who like RnB might like Straight Outta Compton. There are many to enjoy!
