Elvis

Well, the sharp-eared one from the Chronicles of Shanarra played surprisingly well. I'm not talking about Hanks at all.
If that's really what happened, it's sad. It is sad that such colonels existed, exist and will continue to exist. :(

Due to the fact that throughout the film they tried to demonize the impresario Elvis, the result was ambiguous. Why the director decided to go this way is not very clear...

From the point of view of acting and visual, the film is excellent. From the point of view of the plot, it is not as exciting as films of a similar genre (Rocketman or Rhapsody). It's a very sad story, but... When someone is exposed exclusively in a black light, doubts inevitably arise whether to trust the film, was it really that bad?
In any case, the film deserves attention, and you feel at least sympathy for the hero.

I love this music so much. 💘
I liked the visual, I like the acting. But the plot...But the plot, I know, looks sad

The film has a cool cast, especially Elvis himself! The make-up artists tried their best on his image, and they coped well. But Tom Hanks looks strange.. At one point, he actually looks like a penguin from Batman.. Despite the fact that in the dark times, which came out 5 years earlier, the image of Gary Oldman looked natural, my friend even thought that he had grown fat for the role. Here you can immediately see that this is makeup, not of the best quality..
And the film is very long..
The fashion for movies with a chrono at ~ 3 o'clock will not lead to good.

the film is very colorful, the cinematography and editing are top
-notch, but Hanks' makeup is, well, not believable. It kept distracting me from the seriousness of what was happening (and this is not Big Mama's house, after all)

if that was really the case with the impresario, then it makes the story of Elvis even sadder

Meme:If you look at the performers of the original soundtrack, there will be a lot of hip-hop artists and rappers. I have all.

Now we know that Elvis went into ecstasy when he listened to negroes) Not at all like Elvis Butler in an unusually ragged Luhrmann film that you can cut into clips and not notice that something was cut) It is better to reconsider Todorovsky's Styles. Praise only for Hanks' acting and makeup.

It's a good movie, you can watch it, but I think more than once, I wouldn't watch it a second time. For fans of the musician, this is a great movie. I'm watching the trend for documentaries 😁

Everything is as it should be in the biography. Such films should not be perceived as absolutely artistic. This is a biography and that says it all. It's a great movie.

It was a very cheerful beginning, Bazlurmanian, and then it became unbearably boring, and you suddenly realize that Austin Butler does not look like Elvis either in appearance or charisma, and from the middle of the film you just torment yourself, because, it seems, you need to finish watching it, once you've started.

It's not a bad movie, it looks easy and quite interesting. Although this is not exactly a biography of Elvis, rather it is told rather one-sidedly, mixed with cultural and political digressions and the disclosure of Tom Parker's personality. Well, Elvis here is very similar to a plastic baby doll, and in all respects.))) But in general, the movie is good.

I really liked the movie. Elvis is a man of genius, an innovator of his time. It was very interesting to find out about his fate, what influenced him. Like many creative people, his life was not easy, filled with a sense of loneliness and misunderstanding.
Austin Butler was very good at conveying Elvis' charisma and his experiences.
The soundtrack is wonderful. Baz Luhrmann is sometimes scolded for an inappropriate soundtrack, but I think that he very competently and memorably manages to combine music from the past with a modern sound.
In general, the movie is well deserving of an Oscar nomination, the main actor too.

Some kind of long attempt to convince everyone that everyone around Elvis was holy and did everything to ensure that he lived well and performed with love, especially his representative. The only thing valuable in the film is the guy's game, he really tried, but even this is not a reason to waste time on the nonsense presented. There is nothing here, no music, no biography, no personality, any documentary or live will give many times more.

I watched the film exclusively from the artistic side, since I was never particularly interested in the biography of the artist. Of course, I know the songs of Elvis, probably only the deaf don't know them. The film is a bit delayed, but it's still a top five. I really liked the camerawork and playing of Austin Butler.
The scene of one of the first performances was very responsive, the girls were so infected with their reaction, it will leave few people indifferent.
Well, this is a separate piece of music in the film, I really love the blues.

Oh, I was unfair to Austin Butler. I always thought he was just a pretty face, I didn't like him at all, he even repelled me outwardly.
I didn't want to watch this movie because of him. But somehow it turned out that at the moment I decided - well, I'll try.
And somehow she was immediately influenced by the charisma of Austin-Elvis. Wow, what a great transformation! In my opinion, it looks very similar!

the films Elvis 2022 and Priscilla: Elvis and I 2023 complement each other very much, since the first one tells more about Elvis' musical path, practically without touching on his personal life after the service, the second film just tells about his meeting with Priscilla and their relationship. It turned out to be a very sad love story, where they broke up while continuing to love each other.

Elvis is a deafening whirlwind of emotions, music, and tragedy that leaves behind mixed but powerful impressions. Austin Butler, in the role of the King of Rock and Roll, does the impossible - he not only imitates Elvis, but literally resurrects him on the screen, from soulful vocals to charismatic movements, making you forget that he is an actor.

The film impresses with its energy: Luhrmann uses his signature style — fast editing, bright colors and an anachronistic soundtrack (for example, Doja Cat on top of Hound Dog), turning the biography into a lively, pulsating concert. Tom Hanks as Colonel Parker is controversial: his acting is deliberately grotesque (unnatural accent, makeup), but it highlights the manipulative nature of the character who strangled Elvis for profit.

The main strength of the film lies in its emotional depth. He does not avoid difficult topics: the borrowing of black music, the exploitation of talent, the loneliness of fame. The scene from "Suspicious Minds" in Las Vegas, where Elvis, devastated but still great, gives the last sparks of his genius, is one of the most poignant.

The movie Elvis is not just a biography, but an epic rock opera about the price of fame. He dazzles with style, but behind the brilliance lies the bitter truth about how the system grinds even kings. Butler deserves all the awards, and Luhrmann deserves plaudits for his courage, even if his visual hurricane may seem excessive to some.

I honestly don't understand why Tom Hanks got the Golden Raspberry for his role in this movie. Yes, makeup, to put it mildly, is not a fountain. But his acting was as good as ever.
