ELVIS Movie Review Part 2

[@debroy3262]

Billy you should write a book of Elvis truths! By people who were there!!

[@everetteschen8673]

I would love to read a book Billy and Jo would write. You would know they were telling the truth.

[@SarseeDGLover]

And read the audio versions ... Could listen to Billy and Jo for hours ...

[@justmytwobits]

Billy partook in Elvis and the Memphis Mafia (or Revelations of the Memphis Mafia). So, he did author a book.

[@SarseeDGLover]

@@justmytwobits I know about that book but a solo Billy book would be good .. especially on the tupelo days

[@mozfonky]

@@SarseeDGLover honestly, his voice was the strongest in that book. Lamar and Marty just make me skeptical. Billy doesn't.

Wow what an amazing video. I was crying at the end because you can still feel the pain and sadness and emotion they have from these memories. Yet they are strong enough and brave enough to sit and tell their stories still. No body can imagine what they go through or have went through. Thank you guys for this video and I look forward to the next one!

Thank you guys, another truly special video. I completely agree with your thoughts on how Vernon and Gladys are portrayed in the movie. I am trying to look at the bigger picture and how many new fans are joining our Elvis family. It is our duty as Elvis fans to make them aware of the truth…when they learn that they will love him even more ❤

[@tonnasullivan9374]

Elvis is still continuing to be blessed, having you here Billy, to tell the truth. I was 3 weeks shy of being 1 when he passed. I’ve always been an Elvis fan. It makes me sad that I wasn’t old enough to experience his talent while he was here on earth. I did see the movie and I did like some parts, but I know the truth wasn’t told correctly.

[@raycarter8070]

I did not know what to expect today(I always heard really bad things about that time). Gladys and Vernon sounded like very upstanding people! I cried during the movie, but it was great learning more about his parents. My family had great things to say about them both. This was very informational. Thank you.

I agree totally with you❤

[@janm62]

Alanna did say Baz and his research team read her book “Revelations from the Memphis Mafia” and “The Colonel”. So perhaps some of the information was taken from that? I so loved to hear you speak about Gladys, so few people are left to tell how she really was.

[@joannemcclure3546]

The newest book about Elvis, “Destined To Die Young”, (2021), was not read by the director, Baz Nuhrmann because it wasn’t finished when Baz was making the movie. So there are discrepancies in the movie for sure.

[@jamesburrows6226]

From the books I read about Gladys and Vernon they got them totally wrong in the movie. Thanks for the video and thanks for sharing your experiences with Elvis.

[@raycarter8070]

I agree. They were really upstanding and good christian people. I agree!

[@jackieblue122]

The ending must be especially hard for you. You were basically the last ones to see Elvis alive. Like you were just playing racquetball and having fun with him, then next thing you know, he's dead. I can't even imagine how shocking it was and I'm sorry that you had to experience that.

[@greeneyedsoutherngirl6468]

Mr Billy and Miss Jo-I’m begging you, please, please write a book because we all know it would be the TRUTH! And to hear your voices on audiobook would be amazing!

[@pauline9580]

Unfortunately the real story will never be told because of the executors of his estate (Priscilla being one of them) like to keep up a certain narrative concerning Elvis. it's no coincidence that his autopsy has been sealed for 50 years another way to control a non-drug related death possibly.

[@kazsouder90]

Thank you for the insight. It was very, very wrong to portray Gladys like that. You knew how she was and they didn’t. That’s just really evil of them because millions of people are going to see the movie and get a totally wrong picture of her. That tarnished her reputation. I’m mad and it’s not even my family. I could just imagine how you feel.

[@sandyroyals5920]

Your love for Elvis is so evident. I have such compassion for you guys and how hard this has all been for you. I do wish that you all had been consulted. I am sad that perhaps Elvis‘s parents were not portrayed in a better light. I am sure you recall those later years better than Priscilla and Lisa Marie. Priscilla was absent and Lisa Marie was very young. Like most Elvis fans, I appreciate you all setting the record straight. Of course the movie did not affect me or many Elvis fans like it affects you. I am saddened that Priscilla, Lisa Marie, and Jerry Schilling did not have some of the same concerns as you guys. I am sure in Elvis‘s life he dealt with the politics of media, celebrities, and the news. Nothing ever seems to be portrayed as it really is. Most Elvis fans will not let this affect how we see Elvis. He was a gem of a guy! I’m sure you feel blessed to have known him like you did.

[@johnkaufman5474]

If one wants to make a totally fictional movie, go for it. Make up anything you want. However, Elvis was a real man with a real family, an amazing career, unequaled talent, a real life and a real death. One ought to have respect for Elvis, his family and those who actually knew and loved him to get the facts straight. There certainly are enough credible sources and people who knew him to put together an accurate picture.

[@raycarter8070]

I agree. His parents and these guys seem like very upstanding people. I learned quite a bit more. I'm like how did you guys have fun back then lol! (Also we did not know alot of details until my last grandparent passed-miss them!). Elvis seemed like a nice man.

[@raycarter8070]

I try not leave any negative comments but they want folks to know that he was real and not something made up lol.

[@chubby_artist]

Mr Smith, when I see documentaries on Elvis and they show the clip of you saying about Dr. Nick coming out of the emergency room saying “Elvis has left us” and then they ask if you wanna see him and you break and say “I dont think so”. Everytime I see rhat clip I want to reach through the screen, hug you and grieve with you because it’s that moment for me when I’m reminded that he’s no longer with us. Keep doing what you’re doing Sir! Love from the UK!

Thank you both for being so graceful and sharing your memories and opinions. I have always been an Elvis fan, don't know why I adore him, I just do since I was little here in Australia. I am just 1year younger than Lisa Marie. But I always remember loving his music and I read alot about him. I was excited that a new movie was being made, however I am hesitant about seeing it because what I know about Elvis' life, alot of key people weren't even portrayed in the movie. I will see the movie eventually. Billy, I really could listen to your memories all day, it is fascinating to hear about your life. I am so sorry that you and other family and friends have the frustration of no-one getting it right about Elvis' life and profiting from it. You and the people who were there really should make a documentary with real footage. I know you mentioned that the 'estate' might try to stop it. But the beauty of social media and KZbin you can release it yourself. Thank you again for your opinions and love that you both showed to Elvis' memory. He will always be the King.

[@drhuskins8202]

Billy I feel your heart and I too wanted the film to show the generosity and the big hearted man that made us love Elvis so much. Perhaps a scene of him giving the black cleaning lady that new car, the gospel sing alongs in his suite after his Vegas shows, instead of the 4 times of him losing his cool on Jerry, his Mama, Colonel and You! I agree with you that someone simply wrote a movie about Elvis but there was so much more to him. I still loved the movie knowing all the sequences were not accurate and a lot of creative licenses were taken to dramatize the story and condense it all to two hours but it did show the power of Elvis in a well done innovative way and maybe now a new generation will search out the real Elvis now as i have all my life. Priscilla let Baz stay in an office behind Graceland to do his research and Jerry was definitely a consultant, so there was some favoritism obviously on display. Austin did his homework as an actor to portray Elvis as good as it will probably ever be done but NO ONE is ELVIS or will ever be and that is why he is Elvis. I think their hearts were in the right place to make an Elvis story but left out so much that you and i know should have been in there. Elvis was larger than life so this movie tried to be also and i think that's why it came up short...it can't live up to how great Elvis was. Love ya Billy.

[@sandybarr684]

I agree, I wish someone could do a mini series about Elvis, the human being. I want the younger generation to also know how kind Elvis was, how generous, the humanitarian he was, how funny he was, how he loved to laugh and play pranks. All the human stuff. In this movie they saw the entertainer, oh how I wish these younger generations could get to know Elvis, the man. Not to say anything against Austin Butler, he did a great job with what he was given. But again, I don't think anyone could portray on screen the charm and charisma Elvis had.

[@brigidpriebe6340]

Sadly I think most "new" fans will take this movie as the gospel truth and this is how Elvis and his family will be remembered. I saw a number of posts comparing the Elvis movie to Bohemian Rhapsody and how Bohemian Rhapsody was a great portrayal of Freddie Mercury and Queen!! If you grew up in the 70's you'd know it was a terrible movie with little facts. 😥

[@rwieber79]

From everything I've seen and read Pricilla was not a consultant and she even said she was very worried about the direction the movie was gonna go because she didn't hear from Baz the director for over 2 years after he originally had asked her to be involved in the movie. But I did see a recent interview with Baz where he said Jerry Schilling was a consultant. Also Baz spent and entire day or 2 with Elvis' childhood friend from Tupelo named Sam Bell so possibly that's where alot of the stuff in the movie came from. You can watch the video that shows part of the interview did Baz did with Sam Bell here on KZbin on a channel named Kyle Slingo. I'd really like to know what and who all were used for the research they gathered for the movie, because I still will never understand how they wouldn't contact you Billy being the closest living member of Elvis' family. Dont feel bad about getting emotional either Billy, it just shows how much you cared for Elvis and still do. As always thanks for sharing your memories with us and cant wait for the next video.

[@Elizabeth-dw6lc]

I'm sure she consulted for her part. I do know Baz met with Priscilla and Jerry at the same time. Tom Hanks met with Pricilla too.

[@rwieber79]

@@Elizabeth-dw6lc Yeah but if she's being truthful she only met with Baz one time before Covid and at that time the plan was for her to be involved but she said once Covid happened she didn't see or hear anything from Baz about the movie until it was finished and he called her to set up a private screening. That's why she came out in an interview shortly before she had saw the movie and said that she was very nervous and worried about the movie and that's when she went into explaining what I just put above. Again who knows if she's being truthful or not. And ofcourse if Jerry was more involved then you know he's basically gonna tell Baz and them exactly how Priscilla would want them to portray things. I've always felt like Jerry had a thing for Priscilla and would do anything she told him to. But that's just my opinion.

[@Lola-sz8zu]

I watched the interview of the childhood friend. I love that the movie implemented the fact Elvis grew up next to black community, I always was curious how he came to move and sing like that. It’s naturally something you’re exposed to. I’m glad we got a sneak peak of his childhood.

Thank you for your movie review. I think it is important to all the fans (old and new) to know the truth behind the inaccuracies of the movie. If no one speaks up then everything in the movie will become the story of Elvis. There are not many people left in the Elvis world who knew Gladys. I think she has been portrayed badly in every Elvis movie I have seen. It has happened so much that people now believe Gladys was always sad and worrying about Elvis. It is important to have the record set straight.

Saying they had a fight, and portraying their relationship as if they fought all the time, are 2 different things. Everyone fights at some point but that doesn't reflect the entire dynamic of their relationship!

[@samanthagaytan276]

@@davidshackelford1523 yes I understand that but at times Elvis and his mom did have horrible arguments. The movie shows that and also shows Gladys as a very caring mother. I'm just saying that there is book facts from ppl closest to the Presleys to the arguing so there is truth to what was portrayed

[@davidpickren9736]

It is so refreshing to hear the truth from the ones that were there. Thank you for setting the record straight. I am surprised of what I have heard about Jerry Shilling's input in the movie. That is if what I have read and heard is true. I know he was around Elvis for a long time I would think he would want the truth told. Thank you all for letting Elvis fans be a part of the real journey of Elvis's life.

[@Sheilamarie2]

Just a wonderful bunch of real information/emotion, heartfelt, it just lets us know you are all so honest, and I'm sure Elvis is so thankful... I'm glad you mentioned Prisilla consulting for the movie, and how could she give it rave reviews if it is a bad/wrong reflection of Elvis's Moma and Daddy... and did she in fact, give wrong information to the writers?.. I am so thankful for this/these movie review videos. I trust yours and Danny/Theresa's videos to hear the truth about the Elvis I love... God Bless You all, the entire Smith family!

[@raycarter8070]

I just laughed at her part where she said who had the colonials notes to know what really happened. I can believe that now.

[@joannemcclure3546]

Priscilla should not have been consulted, she doesn’t give the correct information, it was her opinion like it was fact -wrong - plus she got paid of course. I would believe Billy and Jo before Priscilla.

[@roymarksberry4152]

I think Elvis would be proud in the year of 2022 they made a movie of him

[@maryannellis4683]

I was just wondering if you and Jo were at the June 25th. 1977 concert in Cincinnati, I was there for it and got some great pictures. I could tell he was ill but oh that voice was as beautiful as ever.

[@AKKTerry]

Love hearing your input. The movie was fast paced and kind of jumped around. I hope I’m still around when they release the 4hours that was cut. Love ya

Yes Elvis Fans Matter. I was waiting and anguish to HEAR YR OPINION OF THE NEW ELVIS MOVIE. Thank U. God Bless U.

[@Existentialnausea]

I didn't see Gladys as a falling down drunk & literally nobody else has said so. She did have a temper, which Billy & Lamar have both attested to in their Memphis Mafia videos. I'm not sure why people think Gladys was some dainty little thing, while people who knew her, say the opposite. We know Colonel didn't make Elvis. But from the Colonel's POV, he did. I think y'all think we aren't capable of thinking for ourselves. Soooo many people on the daily are asking questions on what is/isn't true true in the movie & that makes them want to learn more. I've been giving out book suggestions all day! We are well aware things were switched up here & there for artistic licensing. A movie has to be exciting & get people to watch it. Needless to say, it's doing its job, which is to open the door for conversation about Elvis. It is fantastic.

[@mrsg.9224]

I agree! I think that it’s great for the younger generation’s to see this Movie then start researching on KZbin.

[@mrsg.9224]

I feel like it’s because they don’t like Priscilla or something. She had nothing to do with the making of it at all… Idk if she’s getting paid. But she did go to Cannes & stuff. But it got Lisa out of the house after her Son’s suicide! That should be enough for their Family. We true fans know the truth and it’s a movie of course they aren’t going to get everything spot on!

[@johanley229]

They had her collapsing at the top of the stairs at Graceland, the next thing she was dead. That's not what happened.

You are 100% right about that so-called Elvis movie. I had to cut it off about 10 minutes in. God Awful. I can't help but think that Elvis would have shot the hell out of it.

Very impressed with you both for your memories of your lives with Elvis & impressions of the movie... Thank You both for sharing!!!!!

Precious memories by Precious people. God Bless. Keep on TCB.

[@MrRockabilly70]

Thank for yet another great video Billy & Jo. I couldn't help but get a little emotional together with you towards the end of the clip and share in your disappointment of this movie. You mentioned Patsy and I've asked this a couple of times before but would it be possible to do one or two clips with her? We never get to see or hear her and she keeps a very low profile. I would really like to hear her talk about Elvis and share some of her stories with us fans. Thank you for all the great work. Your fan from Australia.

I was 9yrs of age when I first heard Elvis, I fell in love wth him then, I am now 75yrs and am still in love with him. R.I.P my King.

[@marthaashley2211]

Thank u Billy and jo 4 sitting the records straight. Loved hearing u stories and thank u. Appreciate everything u do.

[@ilikejelly7890]

The sad thing Billy is that you know the truths and how things really happened and that must be very frustrating for you. The trouble with the modern day is everything that went before gets twisted . When I see pictures of Glady's her eyes always had black rings round them. God bless them all . I watched a video this morning of Elvis's grand dad singing. God bless you both. Love Michelle , Scotland xx

I ONLY believe you guys and your testimony. I look forward to your videos every Sunday!

[@THIB4999]

Man I tell y’all something your videos are always so entertaining and I’m always looking forward to the next and next video …. And u can just sense the love y’all have for Elvis and I ll tell u this every word that jo and billy says is not only entertaining but u can take what they say to the bank …. My mom is currently in the hospital doing Dialysis and she loves y’all video and she was born on august 14,1958 … With that being said I always wondered did mrs Gladys really Collapse on the steps like they said in the movie ? If not how did mrs Gladys get to the hospital to be admitted ?

[@cherrycain6425]

Billy you know more than all of them put together. God bless y’all. I have a whole new outlook on the movie and alot of the other people that were to have (supposed) to have loved him. I wish YOU would wtite a book.

[@jerelfritts8880]

Tell it like it is Billy and Jo, I think Elvis would want the truth to told by the two people he was closest too. Elvis would be proud of what you,Jo, and Danny are doing.

It is not a documentary and was never meant to be, so why complain so much about factual errors. The Elton John had many factual errors also and so did the Freddy Mercury movie. Hundreds of them. Be happy the movie was made!
