I bought my mother the dvd last Christmas. She said "Nobody can beat Kurt Russell's portrayel of Elvis" and if anyone knows this it's mama as she met Elvis in 54 and shared a few letters with Elvis and his father Vernon over the years. Kurt Russell is my fav actor of all time and just a super nice guy!

@@Victor-cr5rr if you look in photos of comparison he looks nothing like Elvis. Elvis is more broad shouldered and his face more wide(in a handsome way ofc❤) Austin is like a stick 😅 he's a good actor but as portrayal of Elvis,looks nothing like him except for blue eyes 😅.plus I didn't like the movie Elvis was never like that. Yes he made bad decisions but they added more and also more drama Elvis was never sexual (with his girlfriends)or when he was moving to the music he never meant to be it is a God given gift to feel the spirit of music. When Elvis did date someone he never was sexual he was just clingy. The reason he was clingy is because that's the way he was with his mom (in a loving way ) he never hurt her, the reason why he clang to his mom is because when they lost Elvis's twin it was really hard on them and people think he was a bad boy but really he wasn't.

Theres a lot of wrong-headed complaining in this comment section. Lets begin with the fact that only Elvis Presley was Elvis Presley, if there was another he would not have been unique. Kurt Russell is a fine actor who did a wonderful job in this role. If youre really jonesing for E , there are plenty of videos on YT of the one and only.

To think that it was Elvis that began the pairing of Kurt Russel and John Carpenter. In one Elvis movie, he played a character named John Carpenter (forgot which one) and Kurt Russel played the kid who kicked Elvis in the shin in It happend at the world fair. Elvis rocks and so does Carpenter and Russel.

I was 11 years old when I first heard Elvis. Mum and Grandma were horrified, I was not allowed to like him. Later, when I was at high school, with some pocket money, I used to ride my bike home, and on the way, I would stop at the Centreway Tea Rooms in Hamilton, New Zealand, (before the days of coffee bars, as a British Colony, we drank tea) and for one shilling, I played Elvis Blue Moon Of Kentucky.

kurt russell is by far the best Elvis presley movie done everything about this movie is perfect from the acting to the singing and this movie was made 2 years after Elvis presleys death in 1979 and it still looks so fresh i dont wana see a remake of this movie i think they would defenetly fuck it up what they need to do is get kurt russell to extend the ending to presleys death so remaster the movie with the extened ending with kurt russell it would be perfect in my oppinion.
