@@inventorylady53 JFK Nov 1963. Yr Prisc moved to Graceland, in Mar. & E had hot romance with AnnMargret, while making Viva Las Vegas

Brothers are confusing, but there's a five year difference between the Kennedy assassinations. JFK was 1963, RFK was 1968.

That was Bobby Kennedy and he was assinated in 1968. I believe within weeks of MLKjr

So true !!!!

💯

Oh, me too!!! I cried because Elvis was exploited by the leeches by which he was surrounded. Col. Parker was one of the reasons that Elvis died when he did. So sad...

I agree 💯

Same❤

I think he was the kind of person who'd politely agree but then who'd turn around and do exactly what he wanted.

In reality Elvis could have said no to the Colonel, no to the drugs. Greed and ego play a huge part in this story. Sad.

@@dianab5286 he actually did fire th Col at one point, & is correct Col gave him outlandish bill, Also he NEEDED th pillsuppwrsdowners, painkillers/ opioids. to keep up hectic schedule , over booked concerts,. was thegreed of th Col. & he worked E to death .!!

@@Memow-pk1ng I was not aware of Elvis firing the Col. That is sad! The Colonel was a nasty person with a huge gambling addiction. He was what I call "a lost soul".

He should have CALLED IN A LAWYER when he handed them a 8 million dollar bill!!! If only 🤷‍♀️

It's been re released in theatres,.. I bought it on blue ray, from Wal-Mart. $23& watched it twice, very entertaining, the costumes/ clothing are spot on &been nominated , plus best pic, actor, cinematography, production design.. should win every award !!

Lisa marie presley and Priscilla presley was very happy with Austin in every way that was what truly matters 🙂

Kurt Russell was better.

@@sherriianiro747 Don Johnson was worst. , they were both made for tv, & the mini series Elvis & Me, 88, Dale Midkiff, Susan Walters, was based on Prisc. book,, & I be live that's the way it was .

the movie was full off half truths

AGREED!

Agree 💯

Absolutely 💯

not only his looks but everything about him No comparison

Austin is good looking...but his looks just can't compare. They did the best they could and Austin respects him tremendously.

I agree 👍 it made Lisa happy and that matters a ton, but apparently it portrayed Elvis as being an unhappy and miserable person and his family (Smith's) said he wasn't like that at all. Elvis for the most part was a happy person with a good sense of humor. They did give kudos to Austin Butler's acting but thought the Tom Hanks portrayal of Parker was odd. One thing they pointed out was Parker didn't have an accent...

I'm glad it made Lisa Marie happy. She lost her daddy at such a young age. May she rest in peace now, next to Elvis in Graceland 💙

The only reason she was happy cause she got pd and she was broke, so was her mother

Dixie was the best Goosebumps

Always on My Mind is a good substitute though. I can't get enough of it, it's so beautiful.

@@synchronicity1470 .... "Just pretend" and "loving arms" are one of my favorites

@@theclaw8299 💜💜

What was unique about Elvis was he had the widest demographic fan base of any artist. Young and old they'd go see him and amazing after all these decades his fan base is still growing. Graceland is the second most visited home in the US behind the White house which tells u something.

Kevin Berry. Did u find a book of his music. ? I'm learning acoustic

Me too

Neither the writer, director, producer, or Butler ever attempted to convince anyone he was Elvis. It was always meant/advertised as a biopic. That is why there are so many pictures of Elvis, and cuts from his concerts and movies in this movie.There have been several other movies made about Elvis--and no one thought they were Elvis or a replacement for him!

You are right, no one can pull off the real Elvis and no one ever tried and wants to. You are completely missing the point here. Also, nobody can ever pull off looking and acting like you and so on.

THERE WAS ONLY 1 ELVIS. But this was a GREAT show and as well done as possible I BELIEVE!!!! 🤷‍♀️

Acredito que ele quis dizer que nas cenas rápidas tem que olhar bem pra ver quem é um e quem é o outro. Austin está muito bem caracterizado. Aquelas cenas que tem vários quadros atrás de Austin.

To his credit Austin did sing the early E. No one could match E, matured voice, many impersonators have come close. Suspicious Minds, & ending Unchained Melody were definitely Elvis !!.

As an avid Elvis fan too since 1975 when I was 5, I noticed everyone that you are talking about. I do agree it gives casual or new fans the wrong idea, but that what biopics do., bur for a reason. They have to squeeze so much information into a very limited amount of time. However, this story is being told by a dying Parker who is now very old and on morphine. This allows for missteps because our memory always recalls things differently over time, but the story we tell is similar to the actual event. We know Elvis didn't fire Parker on stage, but in the film the curtain is actually closing so it's mor backstage in the film and I real life they did have a shouting match backstage and Elvis did fire him in the same hotel, but up in his room. Trouble wasn't written by Lieber and Stoller until 58 and Elvis performs it in 56, but Parker could have thought it was Trouble since it was used years later as the opener for the 69 Special, a significant moment. Baz gets away with using the lyrics he thinks best fits the scene by the story being told by an old drugged up Colonel. Personally, I think they could have just used Heartbreak Hotel which has a similar arrangement and was a song he did perform at Russwood in 56. There was no riot at Russwood but there were riots at Elvis shows in 56 and 57. They made Elvis' draft having too much to do with Parker, but Parker was still in correspondence with the Pentagon in relation to Elvis possibly getting drafted and did think that if it did happen, they could spin it their way. Elvis wanted Special Services, regardless of what we've been told, who can blame him? But it was Parker who convinced him that it would look bad, and he would be more accepted if everyone knew he was a regular solider. Cops did indeed at some performances threaten to arrest Elvis. They too make the draft look too close to the Russwood even, but again Parker's memory could be off. Litle Richard certainly wasn't a newcomer in 1956, but the point of the scene is that Elvis dug him. It goes over the top making the 68 Special an almost Christmas Special, but Parker did indeed want it to be, and he also wasn't keen on If I Can Dream at first. Elvis didn't meet Steve Binder up on the Hollywood Hill but in his office, but the conversation is legit, and I have no issue with adding where the meeting took place for dramatic affect. The tablecloth contract took place at a diner in Vegas, not the showroom, but it squeezes a performance and the contract into one scene. What I disliked most about the film was the portrayals of Vernon and Gladys. They made Vernon a wimp and Gladys a You Know What.

@@80steen44 You told me nothing I didn't already know. I can add more things, but what for now? You left out all the bullshit that Pricsilla told Baz and he put in the movie. And like Schilling was the only MM portrayed....LMAO!

@@Anita66608 Well I'm sure Baz could have also included Elvis having an affair with Ann Margret right after Priscilla moved into Graceland or how there was a no wives policy on the road after 69. The Memphis Mafia were all mentioned on the bus scene but Billy Smith was portrayed in the movie quite a bit

👍

@@80steen44 Viva la Vegas, released in 64, made in 63, & Prisc moved to G spring 63, cantcall it an affair as neither were married ,..but. E continued having flings, with almost all his co stars, after married ..

I can't imagine how the movie affected Lisa Marie. I know she liked it, but it had to make her so sad.

They don't look the same at all... not even close! Edit: I want to see the movie with Kurt Russell playing Elvis. I've heard that's a good movie.

They don't look the same. I think it's more the mannerisms than the looks. I am a huge Elvis fan, and I wasn't sure about watching the movie. I did end up watching it,and it was good.

@@SkyePhoenix it actually is a good movie and Kurt does a good job - things are a little different than now but it captures certain things

@@marykatan7324 mannerisms weren’t the same

There are some scenes in the movie where Austin really resembles Elvis, especially from a distant camera shot, but most importantly, Austin captured Elvis's essence and spirit, as well as his movements. He really did put a lot of work in it!

They can only hit on so many things in a movie unless you make it 10 hours long and nobody wants to sit through that. This is not a documentary but a movie based on Elvis' life

@@haw3455 Of course. But they could have shown all three locations in one five second shot. Don't do a bio unless you have the facts. They didn't have many.

Next time call them and tell them all the things they need to pack into the movie otherwise it's just not a good movie. I just don't get how they got so many nominations when they left out all these important facts, beats me

@@haw3455 it was meant to be entertaining , there never was deal made on Ferris wheel . no mention of Linda, she was with him after 73 to late 76, & helped him thru many episodes he's pill addiction. And enufbeen saidabtaGinger, & herfinding E, ..dead.

Baz himself said he had to select songs that told a cohesive story. That’s why a song would occur out of release order in the film.

Parker was originally from The Netherlands/Holland. His given name was very Dutch. If you listen to early interviews of Parker he did have a Dutch accent--he worked to overcome it because it sounded German; definitely NOT popular in the USA post WW II!!

Elvis Presley had the most beautiful voice. His range was unbelievable in some songs.

O

You could only hold this opinion out of ignorance. Elvis was portrayed as a cheating junkie who had chickens in his house and wore enough make up to be the envy of any astute drag queen. This film refueled all the lies that have been prevalent about Elvis since 1985 when Priscilla started the campaign to earn a living off his legacy by gaining public sympathy at his expense.

@@boldchick101 I enjoyed it for what it was and I will stand by that. It was not a documentary Miss Linda know it all. The Elvis movie was entertainment taking creative license as MOST movies do. Or do you believe there really is a Spider Man and a Bat Man? 🤦‍♀️

@@inproper3952 I know it was not a documentary Miss Ignorance whose internet handle should read improper not inproper. What you do not get is that the lies in the media are compounded by the inaccuracies in the movie. Superman and Batman are actually fictitious, Elvis was a real human being with feelings and a sense of character. Let me dumb it down so that even you can get it. Elvis was a sweet and humble person with strong values and an auhentic nature. His mistakes was his to make, he never meant anyone any harm; on the contrary no one who knew him was not better off afterwards as a result, especially lying, cheating Priscilla. Elvis has been a victim of sensasionalistic lies since he started singing publicly, he does not deserve to be seen or remembered as a womanizing junkie who kept chickens in his house and wore make up that would make a drag queen envious. I combat misconceptions about him not because I am a know it all but because I have done proper research; the truth matters, the truth and his true image mattered to Elvis, why is that not respected? Please do not answer, the question is rhetorocal, I already know the answer even if you don't. If you are going to depict someone's life, especially someone who has achieved the heights Elvis had, at least have the common decency not to make a fool of him in his own life and home. The only accurate thing in that movie was the fact that the Colonel exploited him, the rest was presented sensasionalistic and completely out of context. The fact that you refer to me as a know it all is a sure sign that you are intimidated by your own ignorance and blunder of putting your stamp of approval on something that Elvis would have hated ala Priscilla. Now, run along and let me rather speak to someone who makes some sense.

He wore makeup for his concerts and movies roles. He was actually blonde when he was young; because he could not afford hair dye, he blacked it with shoe polish--and even used that on his eyebrows and lashes. As his income grew, he was able to afford hair dye.

Didn't think he resembled Elvis. They tried. As I said, Butler did exceptionally well.

@@mp539 That's is your opinion as I have mine🙂 as I said I believe it was perfect in every way down to the similarities in looks

nobody can that's elvis.austin voice make look like elvis .elvis on tour is the best documentary

@@frank9712 I think people are getting a little crazy . I think everyone should know that Austin is really Austin and elvis is elvis 🤣 people be acting like Elvis should have came back to life to do this movie or there should be someone identical to elvis which never gonna happen with that being said for this movie Austin worked his but off to play elvis the best he could and he came pretty close when you get the credit from Lisa marie and priscilla and many others that knew elvis personally that says a lot none of the other actors that have tried to play elvis ever got this close which again is my opinion a long with many others including elvis presley FAMILY!!Austin butler was never trying to become Elvis presley he was just trying to do right by the real Elvis presley and family FACTS ARE THERE IS ONLY ONE ELVIS AND ONE AUSTIN!! Answer me this has any other movie where actors have played elvis done this good my friends their isn't any so that right there should be your answer

He did sing in the early Elvis, As E. voice matured, no one could duplicate, some impersonators have com close

Nobody has portrayed Elvis Presley better than Kurt Russell .....👍

@@frankarce6443 I agree! He nailed it!

Parker wanted that, not RCA - Both Elvis and Dolly were with RCA at the time.

And why wouldn't she?

Or they tried to get him off all those pills, but he needed them, uppers downers painkillers. He visited dentist night before, & autopsy said the strong amount of codeine, adding to already large amounts of his "packet" given every night, is what did him in, od

Well you didn't read about it in his autopsy report, his family had it sealed until 2027, 50 years after his death. I do agree however that he most likely did OD at some point, at least once or twice.. but back then they didn't have recovery centers for addiction or exhaustion so it was the hospital or nothing

@@dwaynecollins4974 That's true. What I actually read is an article from a medical journal, where a doctor had gone over the autopsy and was commenting on it. The key point was whether Elvis died from an overdose and the conclusion was that he did not. The article discussed Elvis' suffering from an autoimmune disorder that had gone misdiagnosed for years. It makes it even more sad that Elvis was really suffering in the few years before he died.

@@susanma4899 I guess we really won't know til 2027!

@@sherriianiro747 Yes Sherry I agree with you I hope I'm living for this since the fifties I'm a true Elvis fan 🤗🤔thanks greetings from Austria 🇦🇹 Vienna ❤️ 👌 🍀 🙏 Elvis forever ❤️

U don't have to be an old E. fan, the movie is very entertaining. Like I wasn't afan of Freddy Mercury/ Queen, but it's great acting, & good story, & actual concert footage.

Sorry to disappoint you, but Butler did in fact portray Elvis. Perhaps you mean he doesn’t meet your expectations but, by definition, Butler irrefutably portrayed Elvis by representing him dramatically in a film.

Austin did sing early E before his distinctive voice matured, if I can dream, , suspicious minds, & Unchained Melody,.. definetly Elvis !! ThoAustin looks very much like poor bloated E in th end..movie deserves every award, ..

I have not seen the movie yet I watched a clip of Austin and the director talking about the movie. Austin went through major voice training. They cracked a joke in the interview saying that making Austin's voice even deeper and he would never be able to get back to normal. As Elvis got heavier the voice got deeper. I forget the point where they said that Austin started lip-syncing because they did not want to permanently damage Austin's voice. So it is Austin's voice when he was younger but not in the ladder years of Elvis's life. If I remember it is after the comeback show at end of the 60s when they said Austin stopped singing. Elvis's voice was much rougher or rawer when he did the comeback show. As I said I have not seen the movie yet but it is because of Priscella that I will see it. I figured it was just another person trying to sound like Elvis. Then I watch an interview with her and she was watching the screening with another one of the Memphis mafia. They said they were asking each other is that Elvis or is that Austin? She said Austin even had the way Elvis's accent would sound on certain syllables. His ex-wife and the woman he was truly in love with as she was with him giving that kind of review of Austin. I think I need to see the movie.

I thought Butler sang the early songs as the couldn’t isolate Elvis’ vocals, and then on later songs they blended Butler and Elvis’ voices?

Me too. And that is why I am in no hurry to see the film. Might watch it one day out of curiosity.

I agree. The Elvis movie about Elvis & Priscilla where Kurt Russell portrayed Elvis, has ALWAYS been my favorite version, of all movies made about Elvis. Kurt Russell did a helluva acting job in that one.

Watch it again. Kurt acts more like a bad Shatner impersonation. It's definitely not based on elvis. I like Kurt's look and appreciate him as an actor but noting this role as elvis.

Exactly! I haven't seen the film yet, but as soon as I heard Priscilla and Lisa Marie were involved, I knew it wouldn't be accurate. I'm sure Priscilla is portrayed as the love of his life, but he actually had trouble deciding between her and Anita Wood. When Anita found this out, she walked out on him, making the decision for him. I think Elvis loved each woman he became romantically involved with as much as he was capable. If he had a "love of his life" or "soul mate," my bet would be on Ann-Margret.

@@Angelfire. You are 100% correct with everything you said. Elvis asked Ann to quit her job and stay with him full time but she was too ambitious. They were soul mates, though, in my opinion. Perfect for each other and it’s sad they couldn’t make it work. But yes, you are correct. In the movie, Priscilla is made out to be the love of his life, they acted like Priscilla left him due to his drug use, and that Elvis wanted to get back her later in life. All are categorically false. Elvis asked her for a trial separation shortly after they got married. And they also conveniently forgot to mention that Priscilla cheated on Elvis too (many times) and that Elvis was pressured by Parker and Priscilla’s dad to marry her. That part is sickening

@Kevin Saint exactly! Yet the make Elvis out to be a pedo because of the age gap. My dad was 29 when he married my mom in 1968. She was 16. Things were different back then.

Agree

A lot of class and truth? You my dear would not say so if you knew the real Elvis or the actual truth.

@@boldchick101 I do know the truth about Elvis my dear, and all the other rock stars of the 70s and 80s who had “relations” with their 13 and 14 year old “groupies” and all their drugs. It happened! Not that it was right. It was a different time. But the music will always be here, and I am thankful for that!
