Elton John 2 rooms

1991-Bernie and Elton John
Notes from watching -Elton says that fame has been 'hard,tough,easy,miraculous,exciting,sad and beyond his wildest dreams.
They said that whatever they did was always gonna become number 1-Elton was able but Bernie was scared of faliure because he knew the realism of the industry was that there was always a peak point and he was scared for things to go downhill.Who made it-Jonathan K Bendis How involved were Elton and Bernie-Elton and Bernie had their interviews and old clips and they were really close friends so its most likely that they had a large say in what was produced Critical reviews-a celebration of their songs
Conclusion-I think that this documentary was a way to explain the careers of Elton and Bernie and it may have also been to address the problems theyve had and how theyve overcome them.
Links to my EPQ-Useful as it shows how different musicians experience fame and how it can affect friendship however it doesnt go into their deep feelings or impacts.

Synthesising my research

 In many of the documentaries there is a similarity of experiencing mental health issues when famous,for some this was because of being overwhelmed where as some it was because of bullying.Some celebrities that had similar experiences include Justin Bieber and Demi Lovato as both of them were young stars who turned to drugs and alcohol to try and cope but have both come out of it. Some differences include how some come out on the other side of the downs of fame where as some have suffered the consequences and died.Examples include Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston .To me the documentaries have shown what its like to live their lives but this hasnt exactly changed my view of them as most of them were expected due to previous publicity.What did shock me was times where everything seemed fine for them yet they were actually going through things behind closed doors.I have understood that usually as the celebrities get further through their career they become more used to fame but sometimes
