Just saw the movie an hour ago. Immediate thoughts were, he could’ve been so much more in life but was held down and fed lies and pills. Truly an American legend that never had the opportunity to be more than what he wished for. He paved the way for stage presence and celebrity persona.

Theres more behind it. He had legit problems like autoimmune disorders so he took a lot of pain pills. He might have died early even if no pills and drugs.

Yes! I felt like the film barely scratched the surface and I just want to know more. The hardest part to watch was Las Vegas and how heavily he was manipulated by Parker to stay there. It seemed that Elvis felt an enormous amount of loyalty to him and really saw him as a father since his own father was somewhat unstable and distant. I really wish Elvis could have seen the world like he wanted. What an incredible person and this film honors him greatly. R.I.P. Elvis 🙏🕊

How could he have been any more than he was? If you lived during his time you’d know he was everything …There was no one bigger and there still isn’t. His time was very different than now. A simpler time. A much more wonderful time and believe it or not, he had it all.

@Cleocatra Prescription drugs were more potent in those days with a lot more side effects. It was not unusual to get hooked. Elvis could have slowed down, but that wasn’t his nature. Even without the pills, the stress probably would have killed him anyway.

Fun fact: When Tom Hanks talked to Priscilla about Colonel Parker in preparation for the role, she actually had mostly positive things to say about him. According to her he was extremely greedy but still a likeable guy. She even went to his funeral when he died in 97 and held a euology that mostly praised him but also joked about him being a con man who would probably find a way to screw the funeral guests out of money even after his death lol.

I loved the movie. There were times I swear he WAS Elvis.

My mom was a HUGE Elvis fan. As a young woman, she took a train from Idaho to Oregon to see him play. Didn't have a lot of money, so she sat in nosebleed seats and was sad because everyone was screaming so loud, she could barely hear him sing. Got on the train heading home, and pretty soon -- wait, did I mention my mom was gorgeous? -- well, pretty soon, here comes the Colonel. Turns out, Elvis was on the train and had spotted her. He sent the Colonel to invite her back to his car. They spoke and Elvis signed a dollar bill for her. He actually invited her to join him in California, but my mama was a really good girl, knew what that sort of invite meant, and politely declined. 🥰

But Butler didn't show the playful side of Elvis on stage and even on the Ed Sullivan show. Elvis made cute faces and said funny things during his shows. Butler did none of that. Disappointing really.

No one could hold a candle to Elvis. He was like no other—he had it all! Austin Butler was quite talented with his impersonation of The King of Rock ‘n Roll

@JAYE GARDNER He did a little bit during Polk Salad Annie and a few others. And remember - Austin Butler didn't write the story and script, and he wasn't the director either. He was an actor doing his job, and had very little say, relatively speaking, in other parts of making the movie.

The film has a fairytale quality which, to me, required an embellishing of the story. The carnival scene, the hall of mirrors, the concert scenes - I think we understood they had an element of fantasy but they created a magical feeling to the fairytale.

Altered Dogma

2y↑4

I don’t think the concert scenes were embellished. Have you Seen the footage of Elvis in his early days, including those of him performing at county fairs? Elvis was doing Michael Jackson moves long before Michael Jackson was even born. So really, MJ did Elvis moves. Or footage of Elvis’ Las Vegas shows? Elvis was one of those rare (at least rare these days) performers who could hold an audience with only his own presence on a stage. If you’ve not seen it yet, watch his performance at the end of his `68 special, when he he sings ‘I Can Dream.’ It’s just Elvis al by his lonesome yet the performance is moving and so compelling.

Jaco Wium

Indeed. There are symbolic and metaphorical elements in those scenes mentioned to have never happened in real life. The production as a whole would be a whole lot poorer without those elements. I think Luhrman did a great job of marrying reality (like the realistic live portrayals mentioned by the other poster) with the fantastical/fairytale aspects to produce a widescreen feast. I don't think it was a perfect movie at all but I get what Luhrman was doing, and besides, he did stay true to the fundamentals of the real Elvis's factual history.

Parker’s management was a huge contribution to Elvis spiral into drugs and overeating. He wanted to see more of the world and connect with more audiences, instead he was stuck in Vegas doing multiple shows a night.

Elvis should have spoken up about it to the Colonel before it got out of hand. My guess is that Elvis liked the money too.

Paul Gwyn

2y↑3

@Sherri Yes, I did. My point is that even though Elvis was "stuck" in Vegas, he should've spoken up and refused to do 2 shows per night after his January/February 1973 stint at the Hilton. No world tour... okay... but he didn't HAVE TO do 2 shows per night in Vegas. That's why I said, "My guess is that Elvis liked the money too", because we all know that Colonel Parker liked (loved) the money... and we know why.

Glad to see that Austin Butler finally getting some recognition. I am glad to see that his acting has some range. I have known who he was since 2009. He has always been a decent actor. Although he was in many Nickelodeon and Disney Channel shows. He was known more as a heartthrob and not a serious actor. Hopefully he will nominated for an Oscar.

I did like him in the Sex and City prequel The Carrie Diaries that was on CW.

I'm 41 and Elvis was before my time, but I ended up becoming a HUGE fan 15-20 years ago none the less. Bought all the DVDs, watched every bit of footage I could find, got all the albums, knew all the stories. To be honest I was a bit unenthusiastic about the movie knowing how modern directors often wreck legacies with their own agendas but this ended up being utterly incredible. Obviously there's no way you can fit a 20 year career into a 2+ hour movie so there was things I was hoping to see re-enacted that weren't there, but I can forgive, but it's a testament to Butler that this movie is so well received given how many people will have had such high expectations. He was nothing short of spectacular.

As a younger person(Black person) who was, as most Americans born before the year 2000, familiar with Elvis I must say there was always the "Elvis stole Black Music" aura about him so I never truly understood his presence

After watching this movie and seeing how much of it was fact I’ve come to the conclusion that he really was just extremely and deeply influenced by our culture and perhaps couldn’t have been any other way. That coupled with the tragic realization that he was literally slaved to death as an entertainer gave me a new perspective of The Man

One glaring item I picked out when watching was Elvis debating on whether to enter the military. I had read and heard that he had no doubts about going, but the Colonel was worried about Elvis’s Star fading when he was away for two years. I know the film is not a documentary, but two other events I wish were covered were Elvis’s failed 1956 Vagas shows and his concert to help finance the USS Arizona memorial. The 56 Vagas shows would’ve made a nice contrast to his shows 13 years later.

I have just seen the movie for the third time, as a movie, it's pretty good but it is just that a movie as ever who Elvis Presley actually was remains a total mystery.

@Terry Sonneson they did put that in there. But Priscilla never claims Elvis groomed her because that wasn’t the case. You have to realize that this sort of age gap was the norm back then. You cannot call almost every innocent 1950s relationship “grooming,” that’s ignorance. Elvis and Priscilla did this 60 years ago! Society has changed and evolved since. Today though, this is unacceptable, so it would be disgusting if it were to happen today. You cannot cancel a dead man and compare him to today’s standards. That’s pathetic.

This biopic was a literal pipe dream (in a good way). It's very fast paced and has elements of surrealism and fantasy mixed in. And then the term that describes the parts throughout the film that mix in present day elements with older settings that I forgot the word for.
This is what sets this biopic apart from others I've seen before this one.

I was born 13 days after Elvis died, but can’t remember a time where his music wasn’t a part of my life. My Mother always played his records. When I began collecting music for myself Elvis was one of the artists included. Music has always played a prominent role in my life and it brings me such happiness. I’m a fan of every genre except Opera Music. My collection has everything from Bluegrass to Death Metal and the last time I checked I had just over 17,000 purchased songs on my iTunes account….And that includes everything available from Mr. Elvis Presley…..He was a star and The Greatest Performer of his time. Nobody even came close to having the stage presence he had…..If you watch his live performances you can see just how much he loved the music and how it just overtook him completely. He was definitely one of a kind.

Austin Butler was SPOT ON. with his dance moves at the same time in the same songs as Elvis. with the way he even walked on stage then took 2 steps backward and smiled, the way he knelt with his foot flat on the floor, the way he shook at exact way and times Elvis did. crazy good. my sister saw him in Atlanta in 1976. I wanted to go but she told me "next time". there was no next time. my kids know how much I've always loved Elvis. an Oscar awaits him. if not, something is wrong in the world.

Austin mastered the moves, but he doesn't sound like Elvis when he sings. No one could ever sing like Elvis. He was unique in that way.

Elvis Presley will forever be the greatest to ever live, it was very sad to see how many people used him for their own personal gain. The pill addiction was the worst to see as Elvis has always has been my Idol since I was 5 years old. At the age of 18 I made my first of many visits to Graceland which was a life changing experience, you can sense his only goal in life was to make others happy and unfortunately he was taken advantage by the people he trusted most. In my ongoing studies of the King of Rock and Roll there was also sense that all he wanted was also to just live a normal life without the spotlight but so controlled by others he never could accomplish that, I believe the saddest factor of that was that if the pills were not in the picture he would have been able to to live that dream in harmony with his wife Priscilla and his daughter who he loved both very much. If you have ever had to the chance to visit Graceland you can see he lived a very humbled life despite the fortune he had. In regards to the movie it exceeded my expectations however im sure there could have been another actor who im sure could have pulled off a better look-a-like, nevertheless it had me feeling all different types of emotions, the end was very heartbreaking to see him not look himself at all you can see the pain behind his eyes and the desperate need for the freedom he seeked from all the agony he was dealing with whether that was the emotional pain or bondage of the addiction.

Literally saw this movie an hour ago. Omg what a performance by Butler, definitely an Oscar nod for me. Elvis was before my time and I didn’t really know much of him besides some classic hits but now I totally understand why he’s beloved by so many. My respect for him just went through the roof. Great film.

I cant stop watching the 2022 Elvis movie, it is just toooo good! The singing and the outfits and the dancing and even the talking is just so close to Elvis Presley! When he sang unchained melody in the end and showed real Elvis clips i started crying. I think Austin Butler did such a great job and i think he deserves a Oscar for this. Everyone who reads this PLEASE go watch this Elvis Presley movie!

You can't stop watching it ? Do you just stay up for 24 hours per day watching elvis ?

I loved Elvis in the 60’s and always knew he had more talent than those corny movies. The concerts truly blew his fans away, he was loved
By his country when he went into the service as all drafted young men. So sad that no one could direct him away from Tom Parker, not even his father had the education to guide Elvis. He became the King all on his own with Parker holding him back and cheating him the whole time. Dolly Parton and Prince had laws suits to get their creative rights won from management and paid the big price $$$$but won.

I went to see Elvis this evening with my best mate Ian. I'm not a fan though what a brilliant but ultimately tragic insight into his life & career. Parker was a monster like, someone as gifted & talented as Elvis didn't deserve to be managed by him.

I realized while watching the film that whatever attraction was there mainly was found in my nostalgia plus the performance by Butler. I haven't really thought of Elvis in a long time, and it was cool to hear the music and reminisce on him as a phenomenon. I think it's impossible for younger generations to grasp just how big he was. The rest of the film just wasn't very good, something that was exacerbated by the fact that the narrative was channelled through its weakest part, which was the portrayal of the manager.

A must see!

Just be forewarned, it's long and the first 30 minutes or so are very slow. But when it picks up it doesn't let up. It's Sci fi, but beautiful and so so sad.

I was 12 when Elvis died. I used to watch his movies and my parents had his last concert on tv, when he was fat. At that time I wasn’t impressed, but after I watched this new Elvis movie I realize how talented he was and also how colonel Parker worked him to death, stole his money, and enabled his drug addiction! 😢I felt so bad for him. He deserved better people around him, ones who would get rid of Parker and perhaps Elvis would have lived longer…

It doesn't matter. He was the greatest entertainer of all time and always will be. He was before his time. Austin Butler brought Elvis back to life in this and he better get an oscar. Elvis was the greatest and has left his music and legacy behind and is still heard on the radio today. Everyone knows who Elvis is.

Elvis the pelvis will forever be a legend. I'm so glad the movie was a top notch and I feel so bad for expecting it to be cheesy because it was a literal master piece, that I feel bad for those who won't watch it. I am so proud to say I was wrong about assuming the actor and director were going to ruin his legacy. Austin Butler made a superstar out of himself solely by playing the role; he was the one and only who could do it and I simply can't imagine anybody else who would nail it. If this film was uploaded to Youtube, it will be the only film I'm going to BUY so I can revist anytime... heratbreaking yet inspiring. Even the actress for Priscilla, Olivia, was the perfect chosen one.

I am not a fan of Elvis or his music, I knew very little about Elvis, but absolutely loved this film. It’s so good and the fact that the film is told by Colonel Tom Parker and is used to manipulate us into believing him, just as he did to Elvis. I would highly recommend this film to anyone because it is such an amazing and well thought out film.

I read a news article years ago that people from the town Parker was from in Holland, feel he was the one that possibly murdered another mans wife at a business. They said after that happened Parker fled Holland and was never seen again, and the murderer was never found. Which is suspicious.
If it's true, it makes sense he was always manipulating Elvis into not touring outside the USA, that way Interpol cannot arrest Parker. It is insane that a star as huge as Elvis never toured the world, but it was Parker's doing.

ninji522

Just seen it and as everyone who has seen it will tell you, Austin Butler became Elvis for for this movie, to the point that when they show footage of Elvis at the end you realize they don't really look alike, but the whole time he makes you forget, that is a master of his craft. And I also found it strangely odd that Priscilla Presley was hotter than the actress that played her, how often does that happen.

I saw the movie and I loved it as well. I also agree Austin Butler deserves an Oscar.I loved Austin's Tom's (Col. Parker) and Olivia's (Priscilla) performance. Whatever was right or wrong, as long as Elvis' life wasn't disrespected is all I care about. Imo if anything was wrong Priscilla and Lisa Marie would have called Baz Luhrmann out on it. They both loved the movie and what Baz did with it.

I don't think they misrepresented Priscillas age. In the movie he says "when I'm 50 and you're 40 we'll be together again", which tells us they were ten years apart. And earlier on Parker mentions Elvis was talking to another military guys "young teenage daughter".

At age 10... which was 1972... I was in love with Elvis. Of course I had watched several Elvis movies before I was 10. Austin Butler did an excellent portrayal of Elvis. I have watched the movie over and over again. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I really feel close to Austin Butler and feel protective of him. you would think that I have met him. Not yet...but I'm hopeful. He's so humble🙂👍👏🥰

What makes Austin Butler even more impressive as an actor is if you notice the way Elvis talked in the 50s is different than the 60s and again different towards the end. I do wish the movie could be shorter but putting that aside Bravo!
