History TearJerker / Rocketman2019

* The scene where Elton comes out to his mother is utterly heartbreaking. It's funny at first, with her bluntly saying, "[[TransparentCloset I know]]," but then she says that she wants him to "keep it to [himself]," and that he's choosing a life where he can't ever be loved properly. The poor man looks utterly crushed as he hangs up, and he starts to tell John what happened... and [[LackOfEmpathy John]]'s response is to yell at him for being late to a show. It gets even worse when Elton [[TheDogBitesBack shoves him in anger]] and John deciding [[KickTheDog to slap him in the face]], proving this point further.

* John's frequent dismissal of Elton's struggles are this: he hits Elton when he tries to talk to him about his mother's rejection of his sexuality, when Elton is being carried into the ambulance during the "Rocket Man" sequence you can see that Reid is angry at him for nearly dying, Reid insists that Elton is fine and should be performing more after Elton has a heart attack (Hell, even his [[EveryoneHasStandards employer is concerned]] about his health when he calls John Reid before the Madison Square concert and even calls him insane, pointing out that he could have died!).
