Rocketman (2019) - I’m Still Standing Scene (10/10) | Movieclips 

2016: *sings Elton John* 2017: *saves Elton John* 2019: *is Elton John*

This was the role for Taron Egerton. He can sing Elton, looks like him and captures him to a tee.

I personally like the slowed down beginning. It’s like the show realization he’ll be okay.

How this man did not get nominated for an Oscar is beyond me

I really like how they digitally inserted him in the original video.

I love how you can tell Taron Egerton is barely containing his excitement throughout this. It's like he's ticked off a bucket list item, he's so happy.

this hits you SO hard after all the heartbreaking moments in the film

The fact Taron sang *”Still Standing”* in SING! then Rocketman 👏 *BRAVO!* 👏

It was criminal that Taron didn't receive at least an Oscar nomination as Elton John. Especially when you consider that he received nominations from BAFTA and SAG and won a Golden Globe, as well as a Satellite. He nails Elton's phrasing on the songs, sings them beautifully and perfectly, and also Elton's performance facial expressions, his walk and his run, and all along he's convincingly dramatic and authentically comedic

No one: Queen elizebeth II in the year 4000: (update: it’s 2 years later... this didn’t age well 💀)

I like how this song basically sums up the entire movie

During the entire movie, I thought they would end with candle in the wind. Then he started singing this and I immediately burst out in tears. Some people don’t like musicals, but what I took from this is that he was searching for love and validation from everyone. He just really needed to love HIMSELF.

2016, Taron Egerton: "I am still standing!" 2019, Taron Egerton: "I am still standing!" 2022, Taron Egerton: "I cant stand this anymore"

0:32 - when he turns around on "look at me I'm coming back again". I can't explain it, full body chills and instant tears. That moment is so powerful

In my opinion, the ending to this movie is one of the most motivational movie moments in history. It shows how everyone can move forward and recover from a dark spot in your life.

"Johnny! That's my son!"

This song hits hard after watching the heartbreak and pain he went through for so many years. This movie gave me new respect for Elton and the guy who plays him in the movie. Elton is one of the hardest roles to play because he's a real person, who dealt with serious struggles. Trying to portray that is difficult. He had to be Elton while not completely being Elton... When I first watched Rocketman, I cried like crazy and then when this scene came up, and the music started, my heart skipped a beat. Such a powerful song with a powerful message. This movie definitely should get more awards!

I don't think enough people really understand how incredible Egerton was in that film. It arrived after all the "Bohemian Rhapsody" hype and almost immediately disappeared in the wake of that and it's a damn shame because Egerton really deserved more recognition for his performance.

2:23- “Elton John has been sober for 28 years and counting”

Nobody: Jesus 3 days later:

Taron Egerton is one of the best actors of our generation and nobody notices it. It’s such a shame.

Bohemian Rhapsody : We do justice to the true personality and legend of our singer ! Rocketman : Hold My Beer

0:50 the way the stick comes in killed me

How in the world Taron didn’t even get an Academy Award nomination for “Best Actor” will always be a mystery… I also think this is absolutely the best “biopic” movie based on a singer, I like how surprisingly mature it is

Joaquin as Johnny cash Rami as Freddie mercury Taron as Elton Perfectly balanced...as all things should be

Taron started this by singing this song, then played in a movie with Elton John and now he is Elton John lol

*Is Johnny!,Thats my Son!"*

Me: sings "Im still standing, yeah, yeah,yeah" My brain: arent you sitting?

He looks so happy playing Elton john

I absolutely love how they didnt even recreate the music video the STRAIGHT UP used the original, insanely creative choice for authenticity

1977 Elvis Presley:Dead 1980 John Lennon:Dead 1991 Freddie Mercury:Dead 2009 Michael Jackson:Dead 2016 David Bowie:Dead 2019 Elton John: IM STILL STANDING!!

I prefer Taron's take of 'I'm Still Standing' in here than in 'Sing'.

0:58 that smile just says get ready im about to make you feel nostalgia even for the ones that weren't born back then, I haven't even seen the movie yet I love watching this clip over and over

Is he the only actor who sings the same song in 2 different movies?

He goes from singing this song as a gorilla, to rescuing the man that sang it, to singing as the man himself..... that is awesome Edit: thank you all for the likes. Probably most I’ve ever gotten

I love the fact that he sung this song in 2 movies (this one and sing) such an incredible man. Love you Taron!

No one: (silence) My immune system after being sick for a week:

This gave me chills from head to toe in the theatre ending the film with this song just was perfect and inspirational he went through hell and back i have my fingers crossed Taron is nominated was always a fan of him but i never knew he had this kind of talent he can do it all

My grandmother just played this for me because I'm a die-hard Elton John fan. She said, in a completely serious voice, "Look how young Elton is!" I guess that means Taron passes!

Very sad that he Will fight against great actors at the Oscar like Joaquin Phoenix, Christian Bale, and the other potential names. He's great here, even more than Rami Malek last year

A magnificent scene. Taron deserves an Oscar.

The way they superimposed him into the original music video with all the same choreography was really classy and well done.

Taron Egerton was in both movies, Rocketman (2019) and Sing (2016). Both movies had I’m Still Standing.

To think Eggsy from “The Kingsman” did all this. 😁👏🏻

1:40 I absolutely love that little piano line right there. It stuck out to me the first time I watched it. It isn’t in the original song but it’s a fantastic echo of the vocal line just before it. The music in this movie, and the way they told the story USING the music is just top tier!

You could never know what it's like Your blood like winter freezes just like ice And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use And did you think this fool could never win Well look at me, I'm coming back again I got a taste of love in a simple way And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah Once I never could hope to win You starting down the road leaving me again The threats you made were meant to cut me down And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now You know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

Me: singing I'm still standing Also me: *paralysed from the waist down*

The intensity of the look on his face at 1:07 is just mindblowing

1:28 Me going out of school on friday

Taron was ROBBED for the Oscar

1:17 pick up the pizzas of my life

When the last captions after this mention his partner and kids, him retiring from touring to be with them, and say “He is finally loved, properly” I had to pause the credits and wait five minutes to stop tearing up.

The music video with Taron is amazing but for me, it’s the slow intro. It works so well and completely changed the song for me, as if I was listening to the lyrics for the first time. Taron basically improvised the walk from the rehab room to the door of the clinic on the day of the shoot because it wasn’t shot during principal photography and they didn’t have a choreographer on set. To me, his walk is perfect: vulnerable yet playful, melancholic and energetic at the same time. The ending of the film basically feels like Dexter Fletcher and Taron Egerton are handing Elton’s story back to him. A perfect transition!

2:11 glad to see MatPat’s still continuing his acting career!

Taron Egerton did a fantastic job on this movie. Like seriously, his performance made me cry, especially at this.

Bro, he *at least* needs to get the Best Actor nomination. UPDATE: Great to hear Egerton won the Best Actor - Musical or Comedy award in the 2020 Golden Globes!

"Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid"

Couldn't have picked a better way to end this beautiful film. Taron Egerton nailed it and NEEDS an Oscar nomination for his phenomenal performance!

One of the most electrifying performances in recent memory. Embodiment of Elton, the look and feel and even the sound. This climatic scene is such an emotional powerhouse.

I’m so glad I watched kingsmen, otherwise I would’ve missed out on the treasure trove of talent that is taron egarton

The fact that taron had sung this song in 2 separate movies is still pretty cool!

0:50 When my ears were blessed

0:09 - That smirk. "So Bohemian Rhapsody eh? Hold my non-alcoholic beer..."

one of my favriote scenes in movie history

The growth of Taron Egerton is great to watch. He's like another Leo DeCaprio. I look forward to every new thing he does. Hoping he does more Kingsman movies.

While the whole sequence is great, I particularly love the rapidfire montage of different glasses because there is just sheer joy emanating from him.

People in rehab: wait, are we gettin a free concert..? Therapist: i think so....?

I’m thinking about that cane toss. That was smooth.. 👌🏼

This version of the song gives me chills. Such a great performance from Taron.

Such a great artist. Go see his movie, you will respect him even more

Notre moment préféré 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 On aime trop Elton et Taron ! 💕

I grew up with elton john he played him so good like he was the perfect guy to play elton john looking forward to see a new movie of him or more songs with him loved the movie ❤

This song really packs at a punch after knowing what he went through

This song inspired me to look on the bright side of life again

He does this so well omg

Finally got round to watching Rocketman last night and very touched by some of it. Always had so much respect for Elton John. This is a great scene.

My favirote film ever, brought me to tears.

Taron will always be eggsy to me. He’ll always be that kid from the apartment in London that learned manners and became a proper gentleman (and spy)

Taron Egerton did an amazing job remaking the songs in this movie, both versions from Elton or Taron are great, but I have to admit I kinda like I’m still standing by Taron a bit more than eltons version.

Like for Taron cause he did an amazing job

Taron crushed that whole flick

I still love how you can tell Taron is having fun with his role hes not even hesitating to gwt into it hes just having fun

In the movie Sing (2016): The man who voiced the singing gorilla also played as Elton John in Rocketman & Elton John sang I’m Still Standing. What a coincidence.

The funny part is, Taron Egerton was the voice of Johnny in Sing, and he sang an Elton John song, specifically “I’m still standing”, that was in 2016, in Kingsmen golden circle in 2017, he meets Elton John as he appears in it, 2 year later, in 2019 he will play Elton John, in rocket man, most likely due to his performance there and his meeting with him

This scene is breathtaking, i cried so much

I would love a "making of" to know how they put Taron in the original vid :O

Imagine singing this song in TWO different movies and knocking it out of the park each time!

This is where me and my friends broke down crying

Im addicted to this. Video

after realizing that this was parts of the original music video, that just made me love this scene infinitely more than i already did

egerton's performance in this scene is incredible he captures both the showmanship of elton the performer and the humanity of elton the person: the pain of the past, the hope of the future, and the power of the present. Bravo!

This part made me cry...

Why the hell this guy didn't win any Oscars?!! He's so good as Elton John and he even sing like real Elton John!

“And did you think this fool could never win? Well look at me yamma comin back again.” 0:28

Taron was so good in Rocketman that at times I forgot I wasn't actually watching Elton. All the little flourishes on his face. I mean just LOOK at the phone box scene talking to his Mum. If that isn't Oscar worthy then nothing is.

How did this man didn’t get nominated or win a Academy awarddddd🔥🔥🔥

the second time he has sung this song love him so much

I came here from an article that complained about the quality of Taron Egerton's singing in this movie, and honestly. He's not Ellon John, but it's not a bad attempt.

Just imagine how Russell Mulcahy, who directed the original music video, must have felt watching being recreated almost shot by shot for a movie some 36 years later

"Look at me now, coming back again" some reason I like that part it's just to smooth
