February 4, 2023:
I saw the Baz Luhrmann movie of "Elvis" last night. I will say it is much different from any other Elvis movie, at least of the ones I have seen, which is not many. But I was never a real "fan" of Elvis and thought his movies were pretty cheesy. I was a Beatles and Rolling Stones type. I didnt pay much attention to him until he died and stations started playing tracks from his last LP "Moody Blue"..like the title track and "Way Down." So I was able to go back and pick out other songs I liked, like In The Ghetto, Suspicious Minds, Kentucky Rain, Burning Love, If I could Dream, and a few others along that vein. And his rendition of "How Great Thou Art" gives me a chill whenever I hear it.
Austin Butler did do an extremely great job of portraying him and deserves all the award nominations. The movie lost me a bit because I just thought they were trying to cram a lot of life events into a small room. I used to do a lot of writing about music and I kind of had an idea of a lot of events that Elvis went through and it seemed the director was trying to cram it all in one movie. The props and the fabricated locations, like 1950s Memphis, were awesome.
Hanks also did a great job of protraying Colonel Parker. Both Lisa Marie, who saw it before she died, and Priscilla thought the movie to be very authentic.
Cinematically some parts of it was kind of like Stanley Kubrick does Grease. IMHO
