It's a movie! 90% of scenes and events were ACCURATE! 10% maybe were Dramatic License!! Allowable! There was NO FALSE ADVERTISING! Thjs was not a commercial! Been a fan 50yrs pretty much know what was real and what was not. Also ALWAYS good to actually. FACT CHECK before commenting. Movie was beyond fabous!!, My Opinion
Never realized that they intended to copy historical events (I.e. concerts move for move) in much of this movie. I also never really gave a care about Elvis then I saw this movie. Guy went through it. Much respect to both the real Elvis & Austin Butler for bringing the story to life. I’m a fan now. 😊
Same here. Never realized any of the stuff Elvis went through until I saw the movie. This movie brought Elvis to a whole new generation. Austin Butler should have got an Oscar
He should have been touring the world & making music history in the 60’s. He deserved a better manager that cared about his health & well being instead of his own bank account & deprived gambling addiction.
exactly ! i was looking for a comment like this ! he became a legend by giving lets say the 60% of what he had or could give... first was the modest years of 50'-60' that he couldnt be himself and then this colonel that held him back in so many ways and plus had a part on his health issues ... he was so bored from some point, had no challenges in his career, he was not "allowed" to do what he wanted and could do... just stuck there in las vegas performing the same things for years... so pitty....
I’m 44…..I’ve been an Elvis fan since 1982….Went to Graceland in 1984….One of the most sexiest scenes from a movie? Was from 1958’s King Creole and Elvis performing this song…Along with basically the entire movie…..Austin Butler did an amazing job and deserves an Oscar for this biopic….
oh so happy to have you all ❤❤❤❣❣ as my family....If you are a great fan of mine and you love me can I get a big YESS From you ❤❤❤ as you join me to enlarge the fan...write me in my inbox
The clips in the gold suit are actually from a performance he did in 1961 in Pearl Harbor one of his last live performances until 1969. Some call it the best Elvis concert never recorded on camera, you can find audio of it here on youtube. It's a great listen.
Wrong! The photos and clips with the gold suit are from 1957, all of them. 1961 concert Elvis was wearing a bow, a light coloured shirt and had no sideburns. Any deep Elvis fan would recognise instantly 1957 Elvis as opposed to 1961 Elvis
Wooow....just wooow!..Austin really captured Elvis`s moves and stagepressence!.Its just amazing to se him do that :) I love the Elvismovie,have seen it soo many times and it touches me deeply every single time.Class actor/actors..Finally a REALLY great movie about Elvis that he truly deserves!! Elvis FOREVER
Exactly. That's what Baz said at Cannes. Russwood had to be a "compilation" of all of Elvis's concerts. He was even warned by a judge to not make any obscene moves or he'd be arrested (per EP's girlfriend Juanita, in her memoir). There were always warrants drawn up for his arrest, his impact was so volatile at the time.
I’ve been watching CZcams videos about the Elvis movie since it was in the theaters but this is the first side-by-side of Elvis and Austin singing “Trouble” (this is Austin singing and it’s on the ELVIS movie album). So much fun to watch and it was great to see Gladys and Dodger in the audience back in the 50’s. Excellent! There also is a video of Elvis singing “Trouble” in King Creole but my favorite is the one when he sings it during the ‘68 Comeback Special.
This scene was very accurate however, it did not occur in russwood altho he did go a concert there. The riot we see happened in Florida, so this " trouble" scene was a compilation of several concerts cobbled together. Baz even said that in an interview. Nothing about elvis was made up but for the movie, presented in a way for audiences who never saw elvis in the 50s performing. My mom who is 94 remembers elvis being on Louisiana Hayride. That was a very long time ago and Baz had to use whatever old footage they could get but also listened to people who were with elvis back then and many others who have written about those days. Priscilla knows the most from the 60s on but who is still alive from the 50s? Elvis did not care for Hollywood and steered clear of all that. A lot of what Baz used came from Jerry Schilling, Priscilla and bios and real life home movies and "documentary" type footage. When Elvis knew he was being filmed he would be normal and funny but behaved. In private he was moody, and temperamental and impatient but always a kind person.
THat is absolutely correct he combined 2 concerts the following nite was in Canada whhere there was a police encounter etc Baz combined to be time effectve in the mov ie NO PROBLEM! I know me and probably you would have a 4-5 hour movie but Baz had to make technical decisionsTthats ok we'll just have to wait for the addotional minutes ;l
Thanks for your comments but I'm still alive and love Elvis and the movie Butler should win an Oscar. However being alive and old I'm a true Elvis fan and a Queen fan love Freddie Mercury who Queen was not popular in the US sooo sad
It’s a Masterpiece I literally can’t believe Austin pulled this off really well, it’s just so cool when he goes ‘if you gonna start a rumble won’t you TRY IT’. That part is the best I guarantee you
Complimenti grandi e un immenso grazie x un interpretazione perfetta ad Austin....ma Elvis è inimitabile insostituibile ineguagliabile unico for ever.....Elvis è solo Elvis.....
Amazing! I thought there might have been some artistic license taken in the film but this is close to spot on in moves and ferocity! Wow!! Austin Butler’s performance is magnificent.
I’ve liked Elvis since I was a little kid (having been born in the 60’s)…even got to go to Graceland in 1978…had a few albums, etc… but this movie has made now me a MAJOR Elvis fan! I’ve watched the movie I don’t know how many times, and am listening to Elvis’ music at work. I am utterly amazed at what a complex, intelligent, spiritual man he was. I’m even planning a trip to Graceland. Thank you for this videos!
trouble ainda não tinha sido produzida na época da apresentação do russwood park em 1956, o filme quis dar uma mensagem sobre a tal "rebeldia" de Elvis naquela época em que estava começando com a indústria da TV, então foi uma indireta as pessoas que o queriam preso e bela escolha da música que teve tudo a ver com a cena do filme e a situação em que o Elvis estava a passar.
Trouble WAS introduced in king creole. He sang it. For the movie they used Russwood for him to perform, that's accurate but the riot happened in Florida. Makes no difference to me. Nothing was invented just to show rebellion or what he was going thru as a new artist. So much did happen to Elvis, Baz had a lot to choose from.
Yes austin did get all the moves down for sure fantastic performance.. I loved the movie BUT... Many things were off... as in Elvis was not lonely they separated in 72 him and Priscilla divorced in 73 He met Linda Thompson in 72 dated from 72 - 76 so it comes off to new fans that He was sad depressed and lonely because they ended off the movie with the separation as a Lifetime fan I hate they did that because now all I see are new fans saying aww He was so sad lonely and depressed as that is the way he was portrayed in the movie .... HE was happy funny loving loved his fans more than anything... to leave it off like that really upset me I've loved him since the 70's as a little girl ... I was 10 when He passed away I found My Mom & Dad crying my Dad never cried and it scared me then they told us and we all cried the whole world stopped and mourned on August 16, 1977... We watched the funeral on Tv I remember it like yesterday... understand we didn't have internet media etc all we had was TV record player stereo and lucky to get to see him in concert which my mom and dad did in 1975... ELVIS WAS OUR WORLD....He was the first... and My grandparents experienced it first hand... and my elders in my family... My Dad owned all his records his music was going all the time in our home... continued that my whole life My boys 32 & 27 LOVE him and know so much history about him through me.... Elvis's cousin Billy Smith was so mad about the movie he went and He said that was not the Elvis I knew and grew up with and he is the only surviving original Memphis Mafia member.... Plus Gladys was his aunt / Gladys Love Smith Presley he said SHE WAS NOT A DRUNK... THAT PISSED HIM OFF and it would me too if she were my kin.. Billy lived at Graceland grew up with him was with him touring on movie sets constantly but Billy has a youtube channel -- Elvis fans matter where he tells real stories about Elvis and they are hilarious
@@HeavenlyPresley-Tonya even billy smith and the other MM said he was depressed and lonely in the end. He even tried to get back with Ann Margret but she wanted to be faithful to her husband
Billy Smjth 1st says he WASNT deoressed then. Says HE WAS ! Remember Baz Luhrman did 5 YEARS RESEARCH- thjs was not fun and games thjs was REAL. MOST!!!!of the time. ELVIS has been my world since I was 10 yrs old. Loved thjs movie. Brought Elvis back to us. Love him for this!!
I loved this scene from the movie, but was wondering (as a person who didn't know a lot about Elvis), did Elvis really lie on the stage and roll around? Did he really grab that RCA dog (which was hilarious)? Did he really get down on his knees at the edge of the stage? Apparently the scene is based on things that did happen at some point--not necessarily on that night, but at some point. If I judge correctly, it looks like (in the movie) that the police put a big rope down the center of the audience--black people on one side, white people on the other. Then when everyone started rocking out, people started jumping over the rope and that's when the police pulled out the night sticks and started beating people up. Did this happen at an Elvis concert? I'd like to hear more about it.
Yes, Elvis did do some raunchy things with the dog statue, but I'm not sure that it happened at Russwood. That scene is a composite of many of his other concerts. Baz said he watched alot of footage of Elvis being "crazy" at his concerts: lying on the stage, gyrating around, singing to the women, going nuts; so Baz wanted to include that "vibe" in the Russwood scene. -- As for the roped-off sections for blacks/whites, I'm not sure that happened at Russwood. However, most of Presley's venues in the South were at fairs and festivals which had black/white sections only. The Alabama-Mississippi Dairy Fairs had roped-off areas separating the blacks from the whites. Accounting sheets of the southern venues where Elvis played typically showed a "black only" and "white only" section in their theaters, typical for those times. Here again I believe Baz used that idea in the Russwood scene, to show the separation of the races, underscored with clips of Senator John Eastland's anti-black rhetoric. The people breaking through the ropes and dancing with each other, who knows? Was this artistic license?
Elvis no grabo la canción TROUBLE en 1956 . Esta canción fue cantada por Elvis en 1958 para el film "KING CREOLE" . Nunca fue cantada en un concierto en los 50s y Elvis la canta por primera vez en publico para el especial de 1968.
Silly question here 🙋🏻♀️ Maybe it was the old film and/or quality but did the real Elvis wear eye shadow? It never looked like he did. Wonder why for the film?
Idk about eye shadow but i know that Elvis did wear eyeliner to give his eyes a certain look, which was inspired by Tony Curtis (another musician that Elvis looked up too).
Trouble didn’t even come out until a couple years later. Good for movie story line but not accurate. Other parts were accurate though, like him wiggling his pinky in response to them telling him not to. Nobody told Elvis what to do
I hate sounding like an annoying person, but "Trouble" was written in '58. Just wanted to mention that. And yes, I know the movie version takes place in '56.
Except this concert didn't happen at Russwood Park, it happened in Florida...and this song wasn't recorded until 1958. Two years later. And he wasn't rushed off stage or arrested or threatened with jail vs going to the Army. This movie is mostly fiction.
austin did a great job. but elvis isn't singing 'trouble' here. he first sang it in the movie 'king creole' in 1958. either way, it worked well the way baz did it.
Until I saw this movie I didn't really know to much about Elvis. After watching this movie I started researching Elvis and talking to grandparents and people from that time. It was all fascinating. I've watched Elvis movies and even that horrible Priscilla movie. That one was just all around bad. Bad acting, bad representation of Elvis. This movie Elvis really got you thinking. Brilliant job by Austin Butler he should have won an Oscar. If you haven't caught it the movie is on Netflix right now.
Trouble was composed in 1958 for "King Creole" movie and that concert was in 1956. Can someone tell me how could Elvis sing Trouble in 1956 when that wasn't composed yet? 😂😂😂
I'll be honest, I didn't think the movie was entirely successful. I think it was a mistake to tell the story from the colonel's perspective and It was undoubtedly one of Tom Hanks' worst performances, he had way too much screen time and the bizarre accent was so distracting, especially when the real colonel had a southern US accent not a weird Dutch/US hybrid accent. It makes the choice to go with the poorly performed accent even stranger. That said, Austin Butler's performance was absolutely exceptional to the point where the movie only works because of the strength of his central performance. He definitely deserved an Oscar.
Wouldn’t compare the two he sang a different song during the russwood performance he didn’t sing Trouble that song came out after this performance in real life
I'm sorry this boy is talented but I'm not seeing Elvis Presley the man in him,I disapprove. He is at a disadvantage, no one has ever come close and never will, good luck Austin
It's a movie! 90% of scenes and events were ACCURATE! 10% maybe were Dramatic License!! Allowable! There was NO FALSE ADVERTISING! Thjs was not a commercial!

Elvis has been imitated many times by so many. But he will always remain the one true of all times outstanding superhuman hero. Great job Austin!
And let's be clear he imitated himself
Austin didn't just imitate Elvis, he embodied him, he channeled him!
Elvis is irreplaceable and Austin deserves an Oscar :)
I prefer that Elvis from movie now
Elvis was always holding back. I can’t imagine what would have happened if he let it all go when young!

Important thing is that Austin is not imitator - he is an actor who portrayed Elvis from inside out and he MASTERED IT

No one had ever seen or heard anything like Elvis! Especially women!

Elvis Presley has been reincarnated in a man. That man's name is Austin Butler. :)❤️😘❤️👍❤️

Austin was 100% accurate to Elvis himself!
I think they took a lot of artistic license here because of the limited documentation.

Except this concert didn't happen at Russwood Park, it happened in Florida...and this song wasn't recorded until 1958. Two years later. And he wasn't rushed off stage or arrested or threatened with jail vs going to the Army. This movie is mostly fiction.
Russwood Park concert had some blacks in the audience, IIRC from the archive photos. Maybe that's why the movie emphasized the integration issue.
He was low-key a supporter of desegregation, that's what the movie is highlighting
Where's his guitar
Conspiracy Theory says to me "He was simply doing his "jobby job" causing a meltdown at the border between the two, but that is just my opinion..." ;)
He never sang trouble live for a start
Actually he did :)
austin did a great job. but elvis isn't singing 'trouble' here. he first sang it in the movie 'king creole' in 1958. either way, it worked well the way baz did it.
Elvis never sung trouble at this show. Trouble was wrote for king creole in 1958
The movie is applying the lyrics to EP's own support for desegregation.
shouldve used the original audio, why use the remake for the sake of the video?
Until I saw this movie I didn't really know to much about Elvis. After watching this movie I started researching Elvis and talking to grandparents and people from that time. It was all fascinating. I've watched Elvis movies and even that horrible Priscilla movie. That one was just all around bad. Bad acting, bad representation of Elvis. This movie Elvis really got you thinking. Brilliant job by Austin Butler he should have won an Oscar. If you haven't caught it the movie is on Netflix right now.
Trouble was composed in 1958 for "King Creole" movie and that concert was in 1956.
Can someone tell me how could Elvis sing Trouble in 1956 when that wasn't composed yet? 😂😂😂
Song russwood Park nooooi
Elvis never really did that. He obeyed the judge to not dance that way
I'll be honest, I didn't think the movie was entirely successful. I think it was a mistake to tell the story from the colonel's perspective and It was undoubtedly one of Tom Hanks' worst performances, he had way too much screen time and the bizarre accent was so distracting, especially when the real colonel had a southern US accent not a weird Dutch/US hybrid accent. It makes the choice to go with the poorly performed accent even stranger.
That said, Austin Butler's performance was absolutely exceptional to the point where the movie only works because of the strength of his central performance. He definitely deserved an Oscar.
Nothing similar to the truth
Wouldn’t compare the two he sang a different song during the russwood performance he didn’t sing Trouble that song came out after this performance in real life
Elvis didn’t even perform Trouble at Russwood Park, so this is interesting since the song didn’t exist yet…
I'm sorry this boy is talented but I'm not seeing Elvis Presley the man in him,I disapprove. He is at a disadvantage, no one has ever come close and never will, good luck Austin
I agree.
Yo vi la película ,el actor no se parece en nada a Elvis
Does anyone know if there was a actual racist clan meeting like the movie shows.
No that never happened.
Why are so many comparison videos in CZcams... Austin looks and sounds nothing like the king, but he did do a good copy job.
