The editing was perfect for my ADHD, plus it really captured the emotion and mindset of what Elvis was going through.

Exactly, his life was a whirlwind and so was the movie.

By the time we got to the Colonel not allowing Elvis to do a World Tour, I felt EXACTLY like Elvis when he said, “You toad. I outta shoot you in the God-damned face!!” I literally cried for an HOUR after the movie ended. The director’s point about what actually killed Elvis was his love for the fans - damn, that was so fuk’n powerful.

I think that it was interesting to choose to portray his final years only at the international, he actually toured a ton in the last seven or so years of his life so it could have easily been edited to show his psyche and physical state deteriorating but I suppose keeping it at the hotel gives the audience a place to get familiar with and show how the gilded veneer wore off and seeing that perspective drive him mad

​@@seanboyize Baz said there is actually a 4-hour cut. A 4-hour ROUGH Cut. Directors edit scenes together to see how well they flow. I guess an hour and a half did not help the dramatic feel. Baz is thinking that maybe in five years he will go back and re-edit all the elements into a streaming series. I am hoping the '70s tours will be addressed in these elements. One Elvis antidote I heard occurred in the Bristol Tennessee Holiday Inn circa 1974 or 1975. It was a Wednesday, and Elvis was in his room. Someone knocked on the door. Elvis opened it, dressed like Elvis wearing a Cape, Sunglasses, and holding a cane. It was housekeeping. Elvis and she developed a report. She said his room was the last for today. Then she was going to rush to church. When she said "church" Elvis perked up grabbed his Bible and asked her to stay read scripture and pray. I hope these tales Mr. Lurhmann conveyed in his movie weren't dramatic Embellishments. I understood Mr. Lurhmann was allowed access to the Colonel's archives located in the vaults of Graceland. Archives that have never been read or listened to by anyone except the Colonel and his assistant. Elvis' life doesn't need dramatic embellishment. His real-life experiences are dramatic enough for any motion picture.

Yeah, if you look at interviews from him the accent is on point, the real life colonel used to speak like that lol

Yess

Yesss

But the Colonel had an American accent, didn't even have a Dutch one.

nah its incredibley distracting and feels cartooonish. continually took me out of the film

Agree

Not only that and not only did he sound, move, and act like Elvis, but he acted him ACCORDING to his life and ACCORDING to that timeline. Especially during Jimmy Fallon when he explained how he would talk as Elvis at different periods of his time. It’s phenomenal, I totally agree. If he does, I’ll be hella proud. First ever break out role for him, it’s a legendary icon who’s shoes are REALLY big to fill, and nails it?! God DAMN he deserves it!

I betcha that Hanks will get nommed for this.

@@TeaGamingPanda You said it!!

It was shit lol

Personally the movie to me was so entertaining that I really didn’t feel the runtime in any moment

I mean just because a movie wants you to feel a bad way doesn’t mean that’s always necessarily a good thing for people. Some people don’t want to feel exhausted and tired by the end of movies 😂

Baz Lurhman is a very divisive director so I'm not surprised. People either love or hate his style and while I do admit that it's a bit much (I'm autistic so it's liable to give me a sensory overload), you can't deny that it's unique and entertaining.

would make more sense if it wasn't a trend in all of his movies.

Yeah people want to be entertained, not feel like shit, huh, what a surprise.

well once i watched it, i figured out the second half felt like it went on for ever because of how he felt so trapped so as an audience you feel that length and time he spent touring las vegas

@@gracekay2371 Agree. Trapped he was. It's an interesting film, no matter. ALL performances were exceptional in this. The film editing was fast paced but it did grind toward the end for this very reason.

he did 1140 concerts approx

1k like n I agree

I felt exactly the same until about the last half hour. The divorce/drug stuff was still running at lightning speed and by then I was ready for something more docu-style and naturalistic. But man, that first half is buck wild. Went and watched just the first hour in IMAX just to hear it again

yes, and as an expert on the life, music and career of elvis presley, this movie is outstanding. a raw unflinching portrayal of the king and the colonel. and, I can't wait for Baz Lurhman's full 4 hour director's cut DVD

You are completely right on the fact it stays in your mind. I watched it a week ago and it's still so fresh in my mind.

I agree so much and I feel like the new Elvis film really opened eyes for the new generation like I obviously always knew of elvis but never really appreciated and actually listened to his music and I feel like this film changed that for me.

How about thinking of it a week later? 😅

@@zenformind The film only touches on his music. The critically acclaimed recordings in multiple genres of music ARE where you find the true artistry.

Pretty rare to see in movies these days

I thought exactly the same thing. I have never seen anything like that in any other movie or TV series

Even though its make up and prosthetics, I really get you. You can still see austins face throughout the movie and it does look like he went from a teenager to a man.

Rocketman was robbed of so many oscsr noms

How someone can say anything about a movie before u see it is ridiculous

Just watch it, it's not that chaotic

It's rly good!

@@himmyhendrix845 exactly mate I was so confused

Parker tried to get Elvis involved in the business part of his career. Elvis refused, saying that's what I pay you for.

Same here dude same here, I’m terrified

Update us on what she thinks later pls

she's gonna love it. I just got back from watching it, and oh my it was amazing.

I must have an update

She’ll love it!

damn your old

Spot on. Absolutely great movie. I don’t understand all the bad reviews. Movies are supposed to bring out all the scales of emotions out of the audience and imo it did it in an almost perfect way

@@mottiyos1 You don't understand the bad reviews, seriously? It was a 160 min movie and 70% of was a montage. At no point, did the director let anything breath. A scene ends and its a smash cut to another scene that could be the next day or years later. I will admit I liked the over stylized editing in the beginning of the film but when the mom died during a narration and then within 2 minutes he just crying in a closet, I lost it. I started to pay crazy attention to every time the editing was lazy or when they rushed storylines. I can't say what I thought about the film overall because I still need process what I saw, but I can 100% see why the knee jerk reaction is that the film is bad.

@@benjaminfletcher6632 to each his own. i liked the movie a lot :)

​@@mottiyos1 I agree. It had to be done exactly as Baz did it due to the time constraints & no idea why folks keep picking on Tom Hanks. They need to watch videos of the real colonel. Lots of younger uptight guys with no info about the real Elvis are not being fair about this film. It's annoying.

that's just baz luhrmann doing his thing lol. romeo+juliet had a radiohead song

Agree. The music added was weird like the toxic and Backstreet boy mashup while Elvis was in Hollywood going through the motions. They didn't need to use the late 90s /2000s pop hits also definitely not Doja cat in the late 50s and Denzel Currie song

I agree with your comment so much! I just got back from the theaters... I don't recall checking my phone more than once. I had to leave to go to the bathroom (even though I didn't want to) and I rushed back as soon as I could. amazing movie.

Exactly, if anything the movie points out very clearly where we are in the timeline with various editing styles. Years are pointed out, the font changes according to the decade and the characters change as well, not to mention that I can count the slow moments on one hand. Incredibly paced movie, and it truly made me feel like I was on an exciting ride at a fair.

That’s the exact thing I said - didn’t look at my phone or checkmthentime

@@brylee4423 OMG SAMEEEE

agreed

Yes, no one could do better. The colonel was a little cartoonish but I didnt mind.

@@jackyjess7273 I feel like the colonel was kinda accurate as he wasn’t actually an American. He was a Dutch immigrant and his accent wasn’t all that convincing, was kinda over the top, and there were moments where I could hear his Dutch accent. So I feel that Tom’s weird accent kinda made sense

Absolutely agreed with you. Sir was a showman with all his glitzy outfit. Baz with Moulin Rouge and Great Gatsby and all the glitzy and glamour. it was ver fitting that Baz was the right person and also Austin was Amazing.👍♥️. I would love to see Baz doing a series to be shown on Netflix like Downton Abbey. We then get to see all the stuff he cut. He looks excited but very very tired. so who knows.

@@moekontze116 He actually did a show for Netflix

Brandon was that Elvis series?

is it a musical à la Rocketman ? I hate when everyone breaks out into song and dance for no reason.

​@@christellebilodeau Not seen rocketman but the "song and dance" only really happens on stage in Elvis.

Austin Butler blew me away with his performance. Definitely should be nominated for an academy award.

Me too!

Interesting tidbit: Elvis died on Aug 16th and Austin was born on Aug 17th...it's like he was literally born to play Elvis. I love Harry Styles and while I had my reservations about Austin getting the part over Harry, once I saw the movie there was no doubt that Austin was the right choice. He did an incredible job and I so hope he wins the Oscar.

I went to an early doors screening, and the cinema was packed, despite the film being out for the past two weeks. I was probably the only person under 65 by far, but it was a touching moment when the audience cheered and clapped at the end

Argh I'm SO jealous! I came to it late, was not even thinking of watching if not for my daughter's insistenceand until she showed me the trailer.. So we first streamed it at home then I HAD to go to theater! NOW I WISH I could see it on the big screen like IMAX with awesome sound. Actually wish I could watch Austin play Elvis in Vegas and I hate Vegas.

@@michellem1700 lol its ok. Atleast you can say you saw it in a theater.

@@Ace_of_Horns haha and I went again yesterday!! I think I may have to go again before they remove it. Everytime I've gone its still full.

@@michellem1700 that's awesome. When i saw it opening day, half the theater was empty. Maybe its cuz i bought tickets for the most expensive screening room. Glad to see the movie has a big audience.

Yesss, i felt like i was attending an Elvis concert. It was an amazing experience for me being an Elvis fan .

Bad as in good or bad as in bad? Because I liked the first trailer, it’s probably just as great as the movie itself. Good god what a film.

@@justaguyonyoutube4592 just bad in my opinion. I got the impression from the trailer that it was bland and would be like any other Elvis biopic but it was amazing!!

@@seasalt9289 too bad half that stuff didn't happen in the way the movie presented it

Yeah I was lucky enough to catch a later showing at night and the theater was empty save me and my date. And oh man we had so much fun we were singing along, cheering and clapping and I was even dancing and doing my Elvis impression in the theater. I had so much fun.... Thank you... Thank you very much

The court appointed lawyer in charge of her conservatorship was on 10k a week and her scumbag dad 2.5k. Until she was 39. SICK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what part in the film did they use her music and what song? i just watched it yesterday but didn’t pick up on it

@@tatemloucks190 it was a scene in an plane with Priscilla and Elvis towards the middle of the movie if i remember well

@@tatemloucks190 They remixed "Toxic" with "Viva Las Vegas". It's in a transition scene in the tour bus once they have the baby as it cuts to their time in Hollywood.

ALSO i appreciated the subtle reference to Britney herself was based in Vegas for quite a traumatic point in her career as well, she described that time of her life saying “Being a guest in Las Vegas is way better than being me…or wait…is it because my family got to be the stars when I worked in Vegas?” and then “I was nothing more than a puppet to my family, yet to the public, I just performed on stage and did what I was told to do… but it was worse than that because it was accepted and approved by the people I loved the most.” I have no clue if that connection was made intentionally, but it seems like with Vegas being so performance based 24/7, it’s an easy place for greed to get carried away and for an artist to be exploited :/

@Weißgold I agree, there were so many scenes where I was like “no don’t move on to the next scene stay here”

Exactly it's a slow start but gets going once he's back from deployment and the rest is a blur. I'm excited for the 4 hour cut tbh because everytime I've finished it my first thought is I want more

Well said, I never used to think much about it and now I feel really sad and frustrated about how it ended

Nicely put.

I have watched just about every KZfaq video on Elvis and I’m absolutely in love with him. I’m afraid this movie is going to make me sad. Definitely wonder what could have been.

Well said.

Exactly!!

Obsessed over Tom Parker?

@@visaman I’m willing to bet you are the only person that thought I meant him 🤣🤣

Exactlyyyyyyyyy,beautifully said! I saw it two nights ago and I can’t stop thinking about it... Very very tragic!

Remeber he was a child groomer then u won’t cry

The ending was beautiful. I wish they could have focused more on his family, Priscilla, etc.

Check out his complete catalog. I believe he'll win you over.

The monologue was great. The cinematography was great. The acting was great. The pacing made sense with the icon himself. The music was great.

Fucking true

See the Kurt Russell version, you will be pleased!

I really enjoyed the movie, but they probably glossed over the relationship/marriage with Priscilla because it was quite toxic (worse than in the movie). I wanted to see if they were going to tackle that, but I’m not surprised at all that they left it out tbh

That would have been a different movie, and has been covered to a great degree already in other productions,

@@cineastasconjuanluks2320 I loved Kurt as Elvis. It sure boosted his career. Now he is beloved by most.

@@Sophie_Pea I've read her book twice, as well as others about her, as well as Guralnick, and more. I have seen more toxic relationships in my life than they ever had. Elvis was not around that much. Then she left for another man. Then, they became friends until the day he died. Lisa said she never knew her parents were divorced. He spent time with both of them and he visited Priscilla's house often. So If you want to know how Elvis felt, listen to It's Midnight, Listen Cilla on You Tube. She was in the audience in Vegas after the divorce. Speaks volumes.

Exactlyyyyyyyyyy

Yeah they never work lol

It’s definitely an idiosyncrasy exclusive to him, but I can’t help but respect the man’s unfettered auteurship.

He actually restrains himself pretty well. Uses it mostly in the beginning and let’s Elvis music run through to the end

I dont mind it. Its just another layer of unapolagetic crazy on the unhinged lasagne that is this film. All his films are heavily layered with sensory components to the point of near incomprehension, but i find it fascinating above all else. None of the details he adds ever really feels random so i like peeling through the layers and wonder about the reasons he makes the directions he does.

I visibly cringed when the rap music started playing and continued to cringe even after it ended. Horrible choice. Good movie though

you seem to like throwing around the word

Maybe they’ll make him real, like how they made The Eiffel Tower a real thing after the success of Ratatouille

@@IcyDiamond Or how they made bananas a real thing after the first Despicable Me movie did so well. I'll admit that it was a little weird to create a distinct food based off a relatively mediocre (I still love it) family movie but bananas are now my favorite fruit. Thank you Minions

@@alexanderadams9058 I liked that they made toys a real thing after the success of toy story, finally something to lay with!

@@alexanderadams9058 Thank God they didn’t make The Minions a real thing, they would be testing nukes for Kim Jong-un because of their invulnerability

@@JaneDoe-po4gu I like that they stopped making video games after Pixels flopped. Finally no more gaming

Apparently the real Col. Parker really talked that way. I guess he'd kind of switch back and forth between a Dutch and American accent. Sounded weird, but from what I've heard I'm pretty sure it's accurate

that part, now had this movie displayed that without flinching id be willing to give it a shot , otherwise idk if i wanna sit for a hour and some odd mins watching this already idolized figure in American pop culture be put on an even higher pedestal

Exactly like we all know elvis was a pedophile and not showing his disgusting sode would feel so cheap it would be like a cover up movie trying make his image good

Now ,I’m not so sure abt how to present the bad things a historical person has done when they were alive. And I’m sure there are many suitable ways to present them. But to me,the director can skip their bad parts in their autobiography. Cause well, it’s their life story and biography. Now that they have passed, it’d be great to just only present the things most people remember them for. And look again, I’m sure there’s more suitable ways to touch on this subject matter. Elvis was not a perfect person and he’s done some things he shouldn’t. But what I’m trying to say is, when it comes to presenting actual people who have passed. It’d be great to only present the stuff people remember them for and not all the bad things they also did. Because that’s respect and more people will remember them for the great things they did

@@xinko2939 he slept with underaged girls and culturally appropriated black music. there's no harm in being real about that.

@@xinko2939 so it's good to not see all the bad things people did in a story that's meant to be biographical aka nonfiction? Okay you better not watch a hitler documentary.

What? He was way better in ladykillers

TCB.

I said that too 😂

@@rushdarkins4843 David Suchet shouldve been Penguin imo but alas hes too old now

PRONTO

IMMEDIATELY

What? EVERYONE thinks Austin was amazing in this.

@@laurawilloughby4000 I'm glad about that! I more so meant that when his casting was announced, people were quick to jump to conclusions that he would be bad.

Butler embodies Presley.

Thank you for keeping an open mind to the truth. What this movie didn't touch was Elvis' immense generosity - much of it directed toward black friends - visiting in jail and the hospital, paying hospital bills and making sure they received credit on album liners and covers and royalties.

Also Culture gets influenced in different groups everytime thats just how it works, Christianity was originally a religion of the Isralitites but it manage to spread to Greece Rome and even Africa into Ethiopia (Ethiopia in particular still practice their version of Christianity and have developed their own art and culture surrounding it) or when Samurai Movies were influenced by Westerns and Vice versa, so calling Elvis a Culture Vulture is probably too discrediting to him as Cultural Appropriation refers to a specific type of action where a group usually White uses images and actions associated with other cultures and used to promote prejudice or the adopting culture it originated from is unacknowledged by a group or government (or in other words its more about intent and acknowledgment than simply taking influence from other cultures), Elvis can't really be blamed much here as he lived in a period where even talking about Black Culture was Taboo, and as shown in the movie he did support Civil Rights. TLDR: A Western Artist that Draws Anime and wares a Kimono isn't Culturally Appropriating, A Western Artist that Draws Anime and wares a Kimono to create Bigoted art about Japanese people is Culturally Appropriating.

@@MarkRogersVOCFB also I think its far too demonising against Elvis that he be called a Cultural Appropriator/Vulture as considering the Circumstances of his time where talking about Black Culture or even meeting up with Black People in gatherings was seen as controversial. (Also Cultural Appropriation is less about taking influence or wareing other culture's attire but more on intent and acknowledgment of that influence, which is hard to do in a society that doesn't value that other culture justly)

No you had it right the first time. L did appropriate Black culture. I won’t be gaslit into believing otherwise 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Also, the reviewer had a very mask off moment at 4:40. L stole from Black artists, but it is “extraterrestrial” to have Black artists in the film’s soundtrack, but it’s okay when it’s Britney Spears? Blatant racism 🖕🏾

If you read about Elvis, as I have done for years, you know he stole nothing. If that were the case , throw in country, jazz, opera, and on and on. He was a mixture of them all, but mostly he was himself. He embodied soul and charisma on his own. Didn't need any stealing. You are born with that. Cannot teach it. That the uploader starts right out saying he appropriated black music showed me then and there that he believed what the movie is trying to show you. That he was only influenced by blacks. Hogwash to the uploader. Go read some books and learn about all the blacks who loved working with Elvis. Loving writing him songs. Take a look at all the blacks he helped in his life. Knowledge is power. I loved this movie, but there was way too much with the black influence when he had so many more, as well as what he was born with. If it's still in print, read Race, Rock and Elvis. I learned more from that book than most. Including Guralnick's. Baz did good here, but took liberties with this aspect of Elvis.

And the Carrie diaries!!

he was also in switched at birth

what about the child molestation

@@dungeonsdragons1545 he actually didn't molest any kids, for example Macaulay Culkin used to go to Micheal Jackson's place all the time and he was never molested

@@dungeonsdragons1545 as far as I’m aware of that’s just a rumor of his life right? Since he liked to keep kids on his property all the time? As far as I know, we don’t have complete confirmation on him taking advantage of them in that way. But regardless, a potential movie could talk about that and about how the media was constantly concerned and asking about it all the time. It’d be another aspect of the movie of his life. I don’t know if the director/ writer will decide to say that he did those things or keep it up to audience interpretation but I still think a movie about his life would be interesting.

@@nojnavick just cos he didn't moleste one kid doesnt mean he didn't moleste the other kids, since there have been many that accused him of it.

@@dungeonsdragons1545 With 0 evidence. That documentary was a joke.

Didn't died?

And Michael Jackson's an MIB agent.

The beginning was more stylized. I feel the ending was a lot more sober in comparison.

Very Baz Luhrmanny!

ME. TOO. !!

@@laurawilloughby4000 Me three!

Sid and Nancy , Im not there and Love and Mercy are my trilogy of best music biopics.

I second this.

Couldn't have said it better! Wasn't a huge fan of the modern music. Didn't fit the film, the random scenes in the beginning that didn't flow, a lot for focus on Colonel. But Austin's performance, a round of applause. 👏 He was so spot on. Definitely should be nominated for best actor. 🏆

totally agree..tom hanks made me hate him by the end of the movie that's for sure...lol

I'm with you on that. I loved Hanks as Parker and it sucks that we're in the minority on this.

@@thesargeatlarge definitely
