After 45 years from his death , this movie brings back The King of Rock and Roll to us! It is the greatest tribute paid to Elvis Presley ever ! So, he was afraid he will be forgotten! He is not, he is here with us! And I believe that his spirit went in this young actor, Austin Butler! Watching the movie,I was thinking: " man, this is so close to Elvis image, like he is Elvis's son!" Great movie, great actors about a great singer, the greatest, like no other, Elvis Presley!

I have read many books seen many docs and behind the scenes of this man and this by far is the best interpretation I have seen yet. I was completely sceptical at first, but it blew me away. There are a few liberties with the truth for movie making of course, but man, this movie was on fire from start to finish. The entire cast was great, but Austin stood out for sure. I remember when I was a kid back in 1977, I distinctly remember that day when he passed. I was downstairs playing and I heard mom screaming so I ran upstairs and it took some time for her to calm down, but she eventually told me that Elvis had passed. I cried my eyes out too, but probably because my mama was crying, but I'll never forget that day. Please see the film.

I grew up in that era and Elvis WAS that big. I remember hearing my sister along with other girls crying when he got married, cause I guess they figured they'd never have a chance. Also, the concert, "Aloha From Hawaii" was the first concert sent around the world via satellite. A quarter of the world's population tuned in. !.5 billion people.watched that concert. If you were out shopping , dining, whatever, the general vibe was, you and many others were making it a thing to be sure to be home by 8 pm or whenever to be in front of the tv.

There are so many emotions flowing with my body, like I’m in a dream. I want to cry, laugh, scream. It was incredible. I don’t so what to do with myself other than invest myself further in the world of elvis. It would be great if you guys could react to interviews of the cast and influences for this amazing movie (I’m talking Austin Butler on James corden or Jimmy fallon, pricilla Presley, Lisa Marie Presley etc) I’ve taken a great interest in the making of this film. Anything to do with it would be great, honestly. I think a good one to start with would be pre production footage of Austin playing that’s alright mama (he sings and plays guitar in it - and this was before his 2 years of vocal training) Thank you very much and keep doing what you’re doing!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

You hit the nail on the head. If you see the movie, the pressure he was under was unbelievable. He was very courageous because it was a time of segregation and he had to fight the establishment because of how he sang and danced and he was friends and was inspired by the black community & had always stuck up for them which made him more unpopular with the whites. Especially being from the conservative South at that time. It’s a great movie, musically, culturally and the acting is phenomenal. I’ve been an Elvis fan for yrs and I had to gasp a few times because I couldn’t tell Austin Butler from Elvis. Historically it’s mainly correct. They had to combine things that really happened together as if they happen together but that was because of time constraints. I don’t want to give too much away but see it at the theater on the big screen because it’s fast moving and a wonder on the big screen. You’ll enjoy it. I saw it 5X and will probably see it again possibly on the Anniversary of his death which is August 16th. Thanks for sharing this with us. Bless you guys.

This man who played the role of Elvis Presley is like his Elvis Presley's spirit got into him to act and sing with his voice, it is inspiring to me, because Elvis Presley was not only a Rock and roll singer, he is very spiritual man with many Gospel song he sang. Michael Jackson and the rest of the pop singer and the rock and roll singer don't sing Gospel songs like Elvis. Please, look up for his Gospel song and listen. One of his favorite Gospel song is ' Precious Lord takes my hand. I love you guys for your love and respect for him. I grew up listening to his song and never get tired of it.

Still has the same checkered floor and Elvis's favorite piano. Austin also recorded his singing parts there. I didn't know who he was before seeing trailer, but he has a bright acting career ahead of him. I hope he can play Elvis again in something. Supposedly someone suggested to Priscilla on remaking "Elvis & Me" with Austin and Olivia. She replied "Stay tuned". Austin is currently filming "Dune 2" in Hungary, but nothing else lined up after that YET. Olivia's schedule is also open.

You MUST see this movie NOW, because it has about one more week before it leaves theaters and you will want to hear the music in Dolby sound. I was not a Elvis fan but became a huge Austin Butler fan in his portrayal of Elvis. The Presley family was blown away by his performance and this young actor, according to the family, morphed into Elvis. Austin spent 3 years in practical isolation to try to mesh his spirit with Elvis’ and worked on every detail to get it as close as possible, but getting to who Elvis the man was was his primary goal. The first connection was that both Elvis and Austin lost their moms and best friends at age 23,and Austin said because of that they were bound forever. You will love it!!!!

@jeffreyweitzman64632 жыл бұрын
Exactly, there is no doubt for all the riches material possessions etc. and of course the birth of Lisa Marie whom he idolised, post the death of his mother and of course later on when Priscilla left him both events had an effect on him and he definitely harboured some mental trauma which, yeah on stage you wouldn't have thought it as of course once he was in front of an audience Elvis adored them, and the audience adored him back. There has been some criticism coming of the movie from his girlfriend after Priscilla slating it cause it doesn't show any part of her involvement in his life and how he was during that specific part of his life with her etc. and also criticism from family beyond Priscilla Lisa Marie etc. saying it portrays him too much of being unhappy but I think all in all it is overly harsh criticism. For me for starters it doesn't portray him as unhappy from beginning to end as said, it genuinely shows the profound effect certain events had on him, which they did. And secondly, as for his girlfriend after Priscilla that bit of his life etc. being omitted, thing is with what they did already pack in the final theatrical cinema release, it was already 2 hours 30 minutes plus. Now that isn't a complaint from me, both times I've seen it no way did that running time feel a drag but obviously terms of the cinema release Lurhman felt he just couldn't push it anymore to fit other elements of the story into it and so consequently, yeah that part of Elvis's life doesn't feature. Consequently there is at very end bit of a time jump from final scene to where ultimately ends and his sad death. But, unlike have got to Bohemian Rhapsody thankfully this movie doesn't mess with the Elvis timeline just to satisfy the editorial for running time purposes and just stick chunks together that in real life were not like that it. Instead remains faithful to the events in order they happened! Okay like any biopic the odd scene is more dramatic licence but - it is few and far between in this and is without doubt the best biopic of Elvis himself to come along in a long time, with a central performance of the man himself that is oscar worthy and might be for all time now the signature performance to refer to for its quality and authenticity.

There is a reason that Elvis was loved from Oslo to Timbuktu, and around the world. Not because he «stole» black music (whatever that is), but because he was able to project human emotions, like no one else. Add to this a charisma that simply is/was frightening, a stage presence that made people from 8-80, men and women, every race you can think of, a voice that world famous opera singers was envious of, etc. oh, I forgot to mention that he opened the door for every musician born past 1950, incited a musical and cultural revolution that people do not comprehend, gave «black» music the chance to get played on every radio stadion you could think of. For this, he was labeled a racist (the claim is so ridiculous that I won’t bother to discuss it), was called «a corrupter of youth» by the white establishment in the segregated 50’s, «a guy who loved nigger music» (direct quote), was banned from radio stadions, got death threats, and was in the FBI files. After 23 years of giving everything he got, he was worn out, physically and mentally, got hooked, like millions of other Americans, on uppers and downers, got sick and bloated, ridiculed and called «a caricature of his former self». In 1977, the year he died, he was still one of the Top concert draws in the USA, performing at a pace that much younger performers and groups, never stood a chance on following. Now, 45 years after his death, when time simply stopped for countless millions of people, he may get some long overdue praise. He was a phenomenal, completely unique, interpreter of songs, generous to a fault, never hurting anyone, but himself. We really could use an Elvis in these crazy times that we live in.

Elvis was.caught up at time of segregation in America, so you can see in The Ghetto and I'd I can dream were political message songs.. No one wanted to sing in The Ghetto, but he said he will. He was a hated person by both whites n blacks in American. He done soo much to break the barriers down. but some without finding out about him are still hating him todate in America however The rest of the world loved n cherished him forever. it is October 2022 and The Legend is still loved n remembered. Amazing♥️

I was a fan b4 his death. He died when I was 20, almost 21, and my mom was a fan. One InitIal trailer turned me off to the movie. So much was portrayed wrong in the early Memphis concert b4 he went into the military. And they even tell you if you google it. They lumped a lot into that one concert that made him look like he defied the law; he didn’t, and his moves were intentionally sedatious ; they were not, and the song - I’m evil was a Character in King Creole For James Dean, and not part of his own character in life as they make it look in the Memphis concert. And he didn’t sing it there. These things did not happen or ones that did happen but not together. They lumped them into one to make him look rebellious and sinful. But after seeing this trailer You played, I may watch the movie. Thank you Wolf Hunterz for sharing. I think they redid the initial trailer as they may have gotten a lot of bad feed back.. don’t know but this one is different. I’m sure the movie still mis portrays that early Memphis concert, ending in him being arrested and his parents hauled off for protection. That didn’t happen either. That concert was pre Priscilla and Lisa Marie, they were not around then to add input on that concert and events for correction. . I’m sure that’s why it was all crammed into that concert b4 his military duty. Which is when he met Pricilla in Germany where her father was stationed. .

That's a great mini-documentary! It really helps blow away the whole "Elvis was a racist" BS. 🙂

Everything in this movie happened, however not as depicted exactly as the movie portrays. Example Louisiana Hayride shows different examples of what happened to Presley during different shows. Reasoning Baz Lurhmann couldn’t show five different and pertinent highlights during five different shows. The movie could afford the time it took so he just narrowed everything down to one event at Louisiana Hayride. Or Presley did fire his manager but not while he was on stage in Vegas. Presley fired him in a private in Vegas for the reasons portrayed. Exceptional because Baz actually made the audience feel and live the times. So much credit to Baz Lurhmann on how he pieced everything together and actually sent audiences back in time to witness the unfolding of this new upcoming era in history. This movie is more about America during segregation through Elvis’s life narratives by his evil manager. Quite an eye opening movie. Great review, like usual guy’s.👍
