It makes me sad that Baz hasn’t been recognized by many of the award shows, especially the Academy. He did a phenomenal job of putting together a stunning movie and recognizing he had found his ‘Elvis’ when he saw Austin’s audition. Baz will always be this year’s Best Director to me.

Austin really was born to play Elvis, he was beyond any expectations and he deserves the oscar 🤟🏻

Elvis in my opinion is one of the most perfect movies ever, everything about it is beautiful, i don't care about its flaws, if your looking for a movie that is just magical, this is it

It's honestly pathetic that the Academy award people don't have the common sense to NOMINATE Baz Luhrmann for best director. It's truly embarrassing. Baz was the masterful "conductor" of this total masterpiece....this astounding accomplishment.

RIP Sam Bell. You were a true friend to Elvis as a child. Loved your special stories.

We need push this movie to be 1# around the world 2023

With great love come great loss. With great talent comes great sacrifice. With great joy comes great sorrow. The brighter the light the darker the shadow. Rest in Peace Elvis. You are remembered and you are loved...still.

The film did Elvis good,I hope people take the time to discover the real Elvis even more... He is second to none. Before anyone did anything, Elvis did everything..they can never take that away from him...

What a big mistake did the Academy do, didn't recognize the incredible job that Baz Luhrman do in the Elvis movie, a real gem, for the new generations to know who was and is Elvis Presley. The best movie , best Director, best Actor, the Oscars winner to me.

Baz deserves an Academy Award for the Elvis movie. A incredible movie♥️. He brought Elvis to life with Austin & all the wonderful actors♥️. Best Movie I have ever seen ♥️

Thank you Baz, and Austin, for bringing Elvis back to us. I hope you and the cast win every single award there is.

Austin Butler was the perfect Elvis. There were times when I couldn't even tell if it was Austin or Elvis singing

Austin is so massively talented, there's not enough words to tell how amazing he is, the delivery he gave us, is a truthful, powerful, magnificent, mesmerizing, beautiful, electrifying, soulful gift. Best film ever !!!

I have been a Elvis fan for 67 years and Austin nailed it he's so talented i really thought i was looking at Elvis, i hope Austin wins the Oscar he was magnificent.

Genius. Thank you Baz and everyone for bringing Elvis back to life and for the younger generations to get to know and fall in love with him. ❤

I just want to let anyone who's reading this, and going through a tough time know that it's going to be okay. You'll get through it! ✨

Austin Butler's complete and insane dedication to honour Elvis work is just beyond words. How many actors out there is willing to do what Austin did in "Elvis". Even sang all the songs by himself with voice so much like Elvis. Austin is Elvis!! Brings us to tears to watch Austin as Elvis. If preventing him to receive an Oscar is because he is young and not as experience as the older Hollywood stars, then great injustice has been done to this young man and Oscar's judges are outdated. We have never watched a movie so many times and still get the chills and excitement as "Elvis". All thanks to Austin's dedication and Baz's super skill as the best director of all times.

Thank you Mr. Baz and WB for uploading it here on KZfaq 🤩😍😍🥰🙏🏻❤️❤️⚡️⚡️

Amazing Amazing movie that should win tons of Oscars for the exemplary way they brought Elvis and his story to life. ❤

The fact it took all of these years to have someone come along & care enough about Elvis, to give him the story of his life that he deserves. I love you Baz! You will never know how much I appreciate & admire you for this film & the magic you created. I still watch that first trailer. It was magic to me. It made me cry. ❤️

The biggest superstar the world will ever know . From Rags to riches , from a Jack to a king , when elvis struggled his way through all that grief of being different ……to finally making sure that everyone had to listen to him , he made sure that all the cynics had no choice but to deal with it and with that he unknowingly made a platform for every band and artist after him to express themself however they chose fit!!!! Before elvis there was nothing….carl price

25:25 May have only lived 42 years, but sometimes it still feels like he is alive. That's the vibrancy of his soul.

Love this movie. Austin was incredible. He better get that Oscar.

Thank you Baz and everyone who participated in this film, for making known the best artist of all time. This movie only made strengthened my love for Elvis. Austin, you are the man. Your performance will never be forgotten. All my love 🤍

Elvis, Austin and Baz for the Oscar!

This movie will always be special to me ❤️

You could imagine that after having seen the film "a few" times, the goosebump wouldn't happen anymore. And you would be wrong. My, Unchained Melody begins and tears start to flow, again. It's beyond magic. It's emotional artistery. Let it all hang out!

So happy this has been put on KZfaq! 🔥 one of the best movies ever created. This film means so much to me and so many others. It deserves every bit of hype it’s getting!

There will never be another artist that will impact music, and culture the way that Elvis Presley did. Hollywood could have never written a scrip to match the true story.

Thank you Baz, and Austin, for bringing Elvis back to us. Such a beautiful movie. I can't stop crying everytime i watch the movie. You are so talented, electrifying. I love you. ⚡Kiss from France !

So powerful, thank you Baz for bringing Elvis to the forefront again ❤

The movie is incredible. I’m so glad of the opportunity for young people to gain an understanding of history and culture through the movie. There will never be anyone like Elvis and the impact he made on the world.

This movie has made me a massive Elvis fan. I don't think Austin and the team could have done better. It was made with respect and admiration for the phenomenon that is Elvis Presley 👑🕺

The best movie hands down. The cinematography is incredible. Austin is an amazing actor truly the only person who could have played such a huge role. ❤️❤️

Austin is absolutely mesmerizing in this film. You can’t take your eyes off him. A stunning visual journey in all aspects and the music was fantastic.

Austin butler was incredible as elvis his performance is truly an Oscar winning performance

To me Elvis is the greatest movie ever created!!! Everything about it is magical, mesmerizing, mind-blowing, perfect, etc. And Austin Butler is taking your breath away as Elvis every single time you watch the movie...he truly channeled Elvis's heart and soul and became him on screen! He deserves to get an Oscar this year without nominations, Academy should just give it to him because no one deserves it more than him. I can't even imagine how Austin did it even with the amount of work he did...the way he put all that he has in him, his heart, soul, his life in it, is truly incredible, astonishing, unprecedented! Thanks to this movie I've seen the real Elvis, the incredible, kind, caring person he was. I knew the icon and legend of Elvis but I had no idea of how (with all the happiness he had of course) tragic the latest years of his life has been, how lonely he was and how people took advantage of him...it's devastating! This movie touched my soul like no other movie did before. I've watched it many many times now, and every time I'm starting literally bawling non stop, starting from when Priscilla leaves Elvis to the very end of the movie and my heart is breaking for Elvis every time. This movie have the biggest impact on me! So thank you to each and everyone who worked on it for gifting us this MASTERPIECE!!!

I dont see any other entertainer living on for generations like Elvis, he is the one and only that will always captivate us.

Indeed Elvis lived 42 years, but his career( public life) was half of that , which is totally mind-blowing, since in those days there were no special effects in stage performances or movies. It was the hardest working era for artists and to the day Elvis is the only singer and actor with the most concerts and cinema roles. Elvis lived a mythical life - Baz said! Thank you everyone involved into creating this masterpiece for honoring Elvis with full respect and responsibilty! Tears of joy watching this documentary and hopefully the 4 hour version of the movie will be released someday.

I just want to thank everyone who had a hand at making this movie. I’ve been a fan of Elvis since I was 8 years old. I’m 27 now. He’s the reason why I ever picked up a guitar. I watched this movie twice in the theater (cried both times) and I’ve streamed it a handful of times. I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Elvis died the week before I turned 13, but my mother made sure I knew who he was before he left! I have always loved E.P.❤️ I had to watch this movie the second time, immediately after the first time, to make sure I didn't miss something important. It was all important and deep. Oh, and Tom Hanks, hats off. He made me so mad at Col. Tom Parker. Austin Butler made me laugh and cry. This movie will be frequented by me many, many times in the future. OSCAR FOR AUSTIN BUTLER!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Incredible film. I’ve never watched a movie that I loved so much❤ He truly captured Elvis’s essence

John Lennon said it best. "Before Elvis, there was nothing". That's not a knock on black musicians who heavily inspired him. It means that there was no individual who stood out, who took dares, who caused controversy, who broke down color barriers and crossed political and religious lines, and who singlehandedly changed the world before like Elvis did. Without Elvis there would have never been a Rock and Roll movement that lead to the rise of the Civil Rights movement that introduced to the world MOTOWN and Dr. King. People today, especially black people, have no idea just what all Elvis went through, the abuse he took, and all he accomplished and how it made everyone's lives in America better. Without Elvis there would have never been a Michael Jackson, especially since he took most of Elvis's moves, or a Prince, or The Beatles or Garth Brooks or Beyonce, etc. Everything that is done today goes back to Elvis. EVERYTHING! It's almost biblical when you take a good deep look at it. This is also why he's the most admired, most loved and also the most hated due to misunderstanding and jealousy.

Phenomenal film on every level. Austin's performance blew it out of the park...he embodied Elvis. How Baz Luhrmann did not get nominated for best director is beyond comprehension. My prediction: this film will mop the floor at the Oscars!

Elvis was a phenomenon, there has never and will never be anyone like him. He transcends time and space and just draws you in in such a way that you feel nothing but awe and amazing, unconditional love. Austin captured Elvis in a way that was so unique and so special and he and this incredible movie deserve all of the accolades and deserve to win all the Oscars for which they have been nominated. That would be the ultimate way to not only honor Elvis's memory but to honor the time, love, sacrifice and artisry that went into this movie.

The goosebumps and the tears I have that are flowing is incredible. Austin and the whole cast did an amazing job creating this film and capturing the beauty that was Elvis Presley.

Thank you to everyone who gave the world this masterpiece and the chance to see a small fraction of what this man brought to the Earth.

Elvis Presley Will Never Go Out Of Style!!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

I’m really hoping he takes the Oscar’s.

Thank you Baz for this incredible movie 💔❤❤❤

We want the DVD and Elvis Bluray with - This documentary - The 4hour full movie! - The behind the scenes - Interviews with the all the actors - the songs' rehearsals - the soundtrack video clips ...and everything in between! Please release this soon Warner! Thank you!

A masterpiece! Great tribute to the king ⚡️👑

I am so impressed with this movie as a unique telling of Elvis Presley’s story . Austin Butler conveys Elvis’s humanity in such a moving way. So heartfelt. I am of an age where Elvis was part of the soundtrack of my life from day one and I was about to leave for first year of college when he passed. His passing felt like the end of particular era and transition to a new one. I didn’t follow Elvis closely growing up; thanks to this movie, listening to the broad range of his music, his talent, amazing voice and bold presence, I have a new appreciation and respect.

so in the end, it's just elvis and the audience 💔

Elvis lives on for ever, it’s just the way it is, He Paid a Big Price for having an innocent heart, he didn’t see the vampires bleeding him for money, he wasn’t a malicious man, he was a talented Young Man, even till the end, that’s what killed him, he wasn’t stupid, but he wasn’t Evil, and that is a pain that is understandable, it’s my opinion ❤

My mother met him in person when he first became famous she said he was so sweet and handsome a true Southern gentleman who loved Gospel music. 🥰

Austin is such a talented & humble actor. I’ve been a fan of Elvis since I was a child, and I truly believe nobody could have played Elvis better than Austin. Such a beautiful movie. I watch it literally every night

This movie is so amazing! The amazing thing about it is, it is a story for our parents and eventually grandparents but also for the actual joung people and me also, an 80s girl. And the director did a perfect combination of Elvis time, when he lived and the actual time with the old music and some actual RnB and Hip Hop Songs he moved in. The actor of ELvis is perfect. First I thought he couldn`t do it but I fell in love with Elvis again, like I was a teen years ago and my Mum showed me the Music and the Films of Elvis himself. The last Scene, with the great Elvis on his last concert singing makes me cry a lot. He looked so sad and also so happy. Elvis died, when he was my age. YOU DID A GREAT JOB, BAZ LUHRMAN!!!!

Thank you so much… Elvis is …. There aren’t enough words. Baz gave us a gift… he brought us Elvis.

This movie is class♥️love Elvis all my life, love this movie, love Baz, Austin and all the cast and background team for bringing us this special movie and love this short documentary Elvis good friend Sam Bell was so interesting 😍♥️♥️♥️⚡⚡⚡x

Thank you for putting this on KZfaq finally 😍😍😍

I just watched this amazing film again yesterday before the Oscars, and sat in disbelief watching the show as the movie was passed over in every category that is was nominated for. It is simply stunning that Elvis not did win for Costume Design, or Production Design or Editing. Then there is the fact that Baz did not even get nominated for Best Director, and of course Austin turned in the the authentic complete acting performance of the year, maybe of the decade. What a wonderful gift the creators of this film gave us all.

This is a GREAT doco!!! Elvis lives on in our hearts forever, The King!

Im 100 percent behind Austin (Amazing dedication and performance) BUT credit needs to go to BAZ Luhrmann to have the grit and talent to bring this story of Elvis the phenomena to the world. Most dont get Elvis past the performer but he was so much more and many dont understand the influence he had & how it has opened the pathways to modern music and culture. I have read just about everything ever written and it has always struck me how many fans had no concept of what he was doing and did do. We wont see this happen again in my lifetime. Its been a fascinating journey started when I was 19 when Elvis died and now 46 yrs on it has all come together in this amazing feature length film and this Just a Boy from Tupelo👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

So happy I got a chance to see this! ELVIS- he will live on forever in all of us- we will remember 🎼❤️🎼❤️

The performance of the year was Austin. He had the biggest shoes to fill and this guy devoted over 2 years to perfect everything I side and our of Elvis and he nailed it. When you are watching him you are watching Elvis live his life in front of you. The only other person who had done Elvis any justice was Kurt Russell in the 1979 made for TV movie Elvis until now and Austin not only did amazing acting out his life he also sang and did all his own Elvis stage performances. In the movie it was Austin singing and a mixture of Austin and Elvis. No one could have done it better. The academy needs to do the right thing and reward this guy with the Oscar because no one could have and didn't give such a performance of a lifetime this year for the movie they were in. Definitely head and shoulders above the rest. You deserve it Austin.

Thank you for putting this on youtube absolutely brilliant. Really shows the hard work and dedication put into honouring the king of rock and roll❤🎉

I really hope Austin wins the Oscar

Incredible man, incredible life, incredible movie! Well done to all involved. It's still hard to fathom that this was filmed in my little corner of the globe during the pandemic...phenomenal work!

Absolutely adore this movie, love Elvis ♥️♥️♥️⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

Time to watch the movie again. ❤️❤️

Excellent! Thank you so much Baz!

Wow! This video is just brilliant 💕🙏💖

And yet no one protects Elvis. Kept him safe. Breaks my heart. He had such greatness. Yet nothing.

We love you Elvis!

Love the movie and this!!

Loved the movie, especially Austin!!!

The story of Elvis is BONKERS as a Méxican who loves 20s-70s Americana Elvis Presley or Marilyn Monroe are the 2 most iconic of their period!

Fantastic!

Oh, how I miss him!! 😢😢😢😢😢

Thank you Baz, thank you, Austin.⚡

Perfection!

I was introduced to Elvis at age 5 first record my parents bought me, I am the same age as Lisa Marie so imagine at age 5 you recv this record for your Birthday I had no idea who this man was more less what he sounded like or what song he sang. I can remember sitting and listening to the record over and over I was blown away. I have been an Elvis fan every since that day, some people can not believe Iam such a huge fan I explain to them the reason I find Elvis so facinating is that he is the only singer I know that your become captivate with. Like Tom Hanks said it was like a comet smashing into the universe. Elvis is just electrifying , he is charming, good looking, his voice is like no other, his moves, and the fact he was such a rebel and didnt let anyone stop him from what he loved. Think about it how many entertainers, and just fans is still copying him. Elvis is so magical, memerizing, how could you not love Elvis. Austin didnt look like Elvis, move exactly like him, sound exactly like him; but I will say this he did such justice to Elvis in this movie this is the best Elvis movie I have seen I have to say thank you to Baz that you covered as much as you could not only on his life but what most people never seen his relationship between Tom Parker and the pressure the love he had for his fans put on him.

Elvis we miss you…. You will always be the king … thank you Austin for this great job … you are amazing! The oscar is yours!!!

This was just fabulous to watch, I adore the film,. It's just wonderful, and being in the UK, it's the only way I can feel close to his life. Elvis is my ultimate everything ❤️❤️❤️ Love this, love him.

Baz so deserved all the awards along with Austin and the entire crew for this once in a lifetime movie...it was spectacular..heartfelt..beautiful and touching...thank you for this gift!!❤

i love this film

I grew up with the odd Elvis song playing but this film, it changed my life. Not a day goes by where I don’t play at least 5 of his songs, I dress like he did, I move like he did, that man changed everything.

I am paralyzed by watching this performance

Llorando estoy, el mejor homenaje al mejor artista y mayor icono de todos los tiempos, Elvis Presley. GRACIAS

more footage of austin visiting graceland 🥰

Wow, now I will see the movie on HBO Max. Thanks for Sharing!

Thank you WB that we all can see this documentary now! 🥰

Fantastic. Awesome. Canada

Elvis and Marilyn are the best all of time. Goddess and the king Forever👑💋🔝🔝

I’m not crying you are

Austin - you are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wonderful point Baz makes...it's absolutely astounding all that Elvis did in his short life. Not only in terms of his cataclysmic impact and his accomplishments (number one hits and so on) but just everything that he did! He recorded 700+ songs, starred in 33 movies, did 757 Vegas-Nevada shows, did 917 concerts (240 cities/41 states). It's like he was superhuman. How does someone do all of that in 22 years? (1955-1977) -Songs recorded: 700 + -Movies: 33 -Vegas - Nevada Shows: 757 -Concerts: 917

The film was good, I hope people take time to discover the real Elvis even more. He is the greatest ever and not one man comes close to him. He did everything, They can never take that away from him. Rest In Peace Elvis 🙏❤️💯

Thank you so much for putting this on KZfaq! This is a wonderful documentary on the making of ELVIS! The world will always love ELVIS the King, I know I will!❤❤❤
