    You know Baz Lurman commitment to making a film is just incredible. Elvis is another example of his choice of actors, costumes and the development of the arc of the film is beyond most other directors. Being a lifelong Elvis to say “fan” is an understatement and watching this film with Austin as Elvis brought me back to the actual Elvis performing. And the backstory of Elvis’ life from a young boy going to see B.B King to gospel singers which showed his embracing the Black community way before it was a question. Hats off to all involved🌟

      Exactly. I had heard of Elvis. Even heard a few of his songs. Never got why people were so crazy about him. Never cared to know anything about him. This movie was so rich texturally, not only was I interested in Elvis as a person, but I now have several songs of his on repeat that I rock out to almost daily. 🧑‍🎤

    Saw the movie yesterday. It was genius. My dad is from rural Mississippi and born the same year as Elvis. Baz got everything right in this movie. He’s right about a certain inner spirituality that’s just part of life in the South. I remember my grandmother taking me to those all day singing revivals. I loved seeing that in the movie. It absolutely influenced Elvis’s moves and style. And as far as the audience reacting to him on stage, my aunts say they cried. One even wet her pants! I also believe Austin was born to play this part. I don’t believe in coincidence. His voice is so similar. His cheekbones, his natural swag. Unbelievable. I can’t wait to see it again. ❤️

      Yes, I lived in the south also. Elvis loved the white gospel group JDSumner and the Stamps Quartet. Use to sneak to see them because he couldn't afford to go in. JD saw him and started letting him in from then on. Then, years later JD was working for Elvis for nearly 1700 concerts, and on stage in Vegas all through the 70's. Elvis had many influences, not mentioned in the movie. That's why he sang the way he did. He had soul, which you can't buy, and a special charisma. He was able to sing in more genres of music than any other entertainer ever has or will.

    Dear Baz, I was 13 when Elvis died. I remember watching him on our black and white television and he was only filmed from the waist up. I was a huge Elvis fan. When I was in the theatre on opening night, it was a raw and emotional experience of being transported back to what true rock and roll was. I loved the historical perspective of how the Black Community shaped music, Elvis and everything that we have today. Your casting of the characters is nothing short of brilliant. I expect to see your vision, hardworking and epic film win ever single academy ward available. Your work is brilliant. Thank you for bring Elvis back for our generation who were privileged to have experienced him. Many Thanks, Louisa

    I have seen the film twice in 3 days, will go again next week and I've read through the comments. There is a common thread with those that loved the film which is that it moved them enough to send them back to see it again. I can't remember another example of a film that has affected me enough to make me want to see it again so quickly. Austin Butler WAS Elvis Presley. He expertly captured his mannerisms and expressions and, most importantly, his sexuality. Sheer directing brilliance and craftsmanship from Baz Luhrmann has resulted in pure entertainment; over two hours of sensory overload supported by many talented actors, creative camera work, color and costumes and underpinned by some of the 20th century's most unforgettable music. This has been the 'lift' that the world so badly needs.

      I agree with most of what you say, having seen the film three times and each time liking it more. The only thing I would say that as excellent as Austin Butler was, he still didn’t have the stage presence and charisma that Elvis had. Really, no one could be as good,althoughAustin does a fantastic job. Tom Hanks was brilliant too. Looking forward to seeing it again.

    I've been hyperfixated on this film since the first time I saw it, and have seen it again several times, and every. damn. time. I watch it again I am fascinated all over again with how well Austin was able to capture Elvis's energy and charisma, and how he completely disappeared and transformed into him for this role. His almost 3 years of research and coaching really shows👏👏👏

    Even today, I don't think there is enough discussion about female desire and objects of female desire. Elvis , I think, was the first artist who (I think naturally) embraced the role of being an object of sexual desire for women- And its's so refreshing to see the natural reactions of women to Austin's performance in this movie. He commented on this himself on one of his interviews, how rewarding for him it was to see the natural blushing of the extras while he was performing.

      I used to hear my mother talk about Frank (Sinatra) the same way. He sang seductively back in the 1940’s and millions of girls swooned. Same thing but different generation. Frank was the king to the WWll kids. Of course Michael Jackson was another icon!

    • @desireeluciano

      @MalloryNewcomb Před 4 měsíci

      They don’t make them like they used to: I think one thing that people liked about EP is that like Austin said once - at times he is cute and innocent - playful- then other times he is looking up like a crocodile out of the water, the focus is very intense in one direction. Despite the commentary of the time in which he became famous, I think Elvis did a very good job of showing sex appeal without being sleazy. He was rather private and vulnerable… basically I think he had a complex, dynamic personality and he really knew how to work a room. Sex appeal for the sake of would not be enough to be like EP.
      Also at the beginning of his career, he didn’t get why the girls were reacting. He moved like he did when he got slain in the Spirit at the black church. So this came very natural to him. With that said he was smart enough to see that he got a reaction and decided to keep it going - like he was a man to listen to the people! I think he was a very special unique kind of performer with a lot of soul & something very relatable despite the grandiosity of his later life.

I left with my chest hurting in anger and pain at the damage done by his "so-called" manager and the many others of the past--the beautiful young people, real stars who've been harmed by con-artists. I pray these young actors stay firmly grounded and not let anyone take advantage of them.

      LITTLE SISTER: After watching the movie three times, I truly believe that if Elvis had lived longer, he would have gone into politics to try to “fix” everything going wrong in our Country…the brutal killings of Martin Luther King, Jr., Bobby Kennedy and President Kennedy. To me, I feel like Elvis was clearly disturbed at the direction our Country was heading and would have tried to steer it in a different direction. His 1968 comeback song “If I Can Dream” demonstrated his frustrations with our Country and perhaps the World.

    It is amazing, how many generations even after his death, knew his music well. I was 4 when Elvis passed away. I grew up in love. I used to make him Christmas cards that I just hung on my wall until my step mother would throw them away. I loved the fact that Elvis came from poverty to wealth, through doing an art, a creative process that he absolutely loved. True testament that art/music/ and doing what you love- the process of creation can set a soul free.

    I watched this last, ohmigod, what can I say about this film that hasn't been said before.
    It was awesome, Butler was spellbinding as Elvis, watching the sequences from The Comeback Special and TTWII, you'd think you were actually watching Elvis, the way he moved, his mannerisms, Butler absolutely nailed it. And it was such an emotional film as well, being released 2 days after my Mums birthday (who's no longer here), it was through my Mum, my love of Elvis' music developed, as she lived through that era in the UK.
    I loved the sequence that skipped through Elvis' 60 movies, was really funny.

    Austin Butler dug deep into Elvis's life that Elvis's spirit blended together and with the understanding of studying Elvis's style and songs and voice he brought to the movie and a new generation.... with that said... don't you think he deserves an Oscar or two... one for Elvis and one for Austin......??

    Wow what a phenomenal actor Austin Butler… you definitely filled the show and clothes of Elvis!
    You made me laugh and cry and move my feet during your songs!! You have really nailed the voice the dance moves and his expressions…just all of Elvis!
    Tom Hanks…you did your homework well and brought to life a man no one knew much about…I came away not sure how I feel about the Colonel himself…but I’ll go see you in any film you make…your truly are the finest actor I have ever seen!! You played this so well I am pretty sure those who knew him would very much agree! It seems the Colonel knew to keep his distance from the boys…. But he sure did spread the family with lots of charm! Great acting!!!

    this IS the most intellectual and TRUE conversation about the artistry of elvis presley, that I've ever seen.
    amd I've studied this subject longer than most people have been alive.
    elvis presley was soul depth and diversity personified.
    his initial sound at sun studio was the fusion of white country with black rhythm and blues,
    THOSE critically acclaimed recordings are REVELATORY and innovative.
    then, he changed multiple times in his very very short career and life, truly remarkable.

      I agree. The best ever movie I've seen about Elvis since I was 13 years old...when I eceived my first single of Elvis from my older sister and now I am a 78 years old lady and will be a die-hearted devoted Elvis-fan until I die.
      What a fantastic and genuine movie. All actors are terrific. Must see it one more time. Unfortunately I never got the chance to see Elvis perform alive even vif I've been to Graceland twice.
      I'm from far away Sweden but love him as much as you American Elvis-fans do. His story , mannerism and fabulous voice belong to all people of the world. GOD BLESS HIS BEAUTIFUL SOUL!

    I cried at the end, great film.
    However, it was much too short, felt rushed, didn’t get to fully absorb & enjoy Austin’s amazing performances.
    Left feeling gutted, for Elvis & for what the movie could’ve been.
    Still loved it though.

My Uncle still has the Complete Collection of Every 45 and Album Elvis ever made🙏 I grew up not knowing anything but Elvis as I was blessed to live with and grow up living with my grandmother and all my Aunts and Uncles during these times ❤️

    @ElvisRose_ Před 2 lety +8

    The courage Elvis had to be himself, in the face of all else, and yet, at no time in his life did stop evolving. It captures a life lived in how he, as a artist & person, took in the difficult and tumultuous times of each era but also remembers to process each experience he had in his life that were always going to go through, the loss of twin & loss of his mother, would have always been a part of Elvis's journey regardless of if the rest of us going on his journey. It still keeps Elvis in the elusive sense because he was not the sum of his parts and rarely, does the "subject" of Elvis gets lost because it's always been "Elvis in the 50s" "Army Elvis" "Comeback Elvis" and this puts him back as both the cultural change to it all of those things which is Elvis.
    Every character really did a spectacular job!

The song of miracles happening every day was sung so good. The pub was perfect and important for the script

    I have always been an Elvis fan but I tell people who don’t like him or never listened to his music or watched a movie to see this film. There is such an interesting underlying super hero theme that even young people would recognize and enjoy. So even if you aren’t into Elvis or the music go see it.
