I've already seen this movie and Austin will definitely be nominated for an Oscar.
Hear hear
For sure he will win just like Freddie Mercury guy, Rami..
I've seen it already 3 times and it was worth every single penny ♡ Austin is stunning ♡
Fantastic movie, and Austin was amazing.
I agree
I’m not an Elvis fan. Scratch that, wasn’t an Elvis fan. This movie captivated me from
Start to finish.
Exactly. I had heard of Elvis. Even heard a few of his songs. Never got why people were so crazy about him. Never cared to know anything about him. This movie was so rich texturally, not only was I interested in Elvis as a person, but I now have several songs of his on repeat that I rock out to almost daily. 🧑🎤

I saw it yesterday. Austin Butler's portrayal of Elvis was mesmerizing. Tom Hanks was on point as the colonel. I'd highly recommend seeing it.
I can't wait...seems like the longest wait ever. Im going this week. Looks great, and great reviews. I love watching Austin in interviews. He seems perfect. In the beginning I wasn't sure.
The more I see/hear the better it looks! Counting down!I t's finally here! ❤️
He was amazing
you are 100% correct.
amazing unflinching portrayal of colonel Parker and elvis.
I can't wait for Baz Lurhman's full 4 hour director's cut DVD
@@bradhuskers what??? He has a 4 hour version coming ??? I can't wait to see that !!!
@@ericheenie Yep, I heard that as well....
You know Baz Lurman commitment to making a film is just incredible. Elvis is another example of his choice of actors, costumes and the development of the arc of the film is beyond most other directors. Being a lifelong Elvis to say “fan” is an understatement and watching this film with Austin as Elvis brought me back to the actual Elvis performing. And the backstory of Elvis’ life from a young boy going to see B.B King to gospel singers which showed his embracing the Black community way before it was a question. Hats off to all involved🌟
I love that Austin is the quietest one. He's gonna be as big as Leo.
100%
That’s his personality… but make no mistake he has a strong personality and presence for sure. I think he has the talent and range to be as big as Leo!
Absolutely!!!! I said the same thing this kid is going places Austin is going to be a star!!!!!!!!
Austin absolutely deserves the Oscar!! He is magnificent.
After this movie, Elvis has come back into the building of life.💖
Saw the movie yesterday. It was genius. My dad is from rural Mississippi and born the same year as Elvis. Baz got everything right in this movie. He’s right about a certain inner spirituality that’s just part of life in the South. I remember my grandmother taking me to those all day singing revivals. I loved seeing that in the movie. It absolutely influenced Elvis’s moves and style. And as far as the audience reacting to him on stage, my aunts say they cried. One even wet her pants! I also believe Austin was born to play this part. I don’t believe in coincidence. His voice is so similar. His cheekbones, his natural swag. Unbelievable. I can’t wait to see it again. ❤️
Saw the movie earlier today and can’t get it out of my mind! It makes me hurt for the many even rich and famous that are so lonely. 😭
This movie is mesmerizing and Austin is brilliant, along with Tom Hanks. Truly a MUST SEE MOVIE 🎥🙌👏👍❤️
I agree. Awesome portrayal!
Hopefully this will be the last Elvis movie. I have seen many clips and believe Austin was the best actor to play Elvis. I was raised with Elvis. I am so excited I did
Yes, I lived in the south also. Elvis loved the white gospel group JDSumner and the Stamps Quartet. Use to sneak to see them because he couldn't afford to go in. JD saw him and started letting him in from then on. Then, years later JD was working for Elvis for nearly 1700 concerts, and on stage in Vegas all through the 70's. Elvis had many influences, not mentioned in the movie. That's why he sang the way he did. He had soul, which you can't buy, and a special charisma. He was able to sing in more genres of music than any other entertainer ever has or will.
Spot-on. This was a moment in time, this film.
Dear Baz, I was 13 when Elvis died. I remember watching him on our black and white television and he was only filmed from the waist up. I was a huge Elvis fan. When I was in the theatre on opening night, it was a raw and emotional experience of being transported back to what true rock and roll was. I loved the historical perspective of how the Black Community shaped music, Elvis and everything that we have today. Your casting of the characters is nothing short of brilliant. I expect to see your vision, hardworking and epic film win ever single academy ward available. Your work is brilliant. Thank you for bring Elvis back for our generation who were privileged to have experienced him. Many Thanks, Louisa
Give Austin the Oscar immediately
I've been hyperfixated on this film since the first time I saw it, and have seen it again several times, and every. damn. time. I watch it again I am fascinated all over again with how well Austin was able to capture Elvis's energy and charisma, and how he completely disappeared and transformed into him for this role. His almost 3 years of research and coaching really shows👏👏👏
Me too! 10 times for me so far! At the big screen cinema theatre! It's addictive watching
Elvis is a great movie! Thanks Baz, thanks Austin, thanks all you responsible to give us this beautiful present. Austin, you deserve an Oscar for your performance!
Oh my Freaking God ---One of the Best movies I've seen in ages. It was Brilliant!
Even today, I don't think there is enough discussion about female desire and objects of female desire. Elvis , I think, was the first artist who (I think naturally) embraced the role of being an object of sexual desire for women- And its's so refreshing to see the natural reactions of women to Austin's performance in this movie. He commented on this himself on one of his interviews, how rewarding for him it was to see the natural blushing of the extras while he was performing.
I used to hear my mother talk about Frank (Sinatra) the same way. He sang seductively back in the 1940’s and millions of girls swooned. Same thing but different generation. Frank was the king to the WWll kids. Of course Michael Jackson was another icon!
I was thinking the same thing too. I felt like Elvis was judged for his sexual expression also because of fears/judgements relative to female sexuality
I'd blush watching him too. 🥴🤭
The first would be Hank Sr.
They don’t make them like they used to: I think one thing that people liked about EP is that like Austin said once - at times he is cute and innocent - playful- then other times he is looking up like a crocodile out of the water, the focus is very intense in one direction. Despite the commentary of the time in which he became famous, I think Elvis did a very good job of showing sex appeal without being sleazy. He was rather private and vulnerable… basically I think he had a complex, dynamic personality and he really knew how to work a room. Sex appeal for the sake of would not be enough to be like EP.
Also at the beginning of his career, he didn’t get why the girls were reacting. He moved like he did when he got slain in the Spirit at the black church. So this came very natural to him. With that said he was smart enough to see that he got a reaction and decided to keep it going - like he was a man to listen to the people! I think he was a very special unique kind of performer with a lot of soul & something very relatable despite the grandiosity of his later life.
I saw the movie yesterday. The music, Elvis, the acting, the historical context was all beautifully done. I left with my chest hurting in anger and pain at the damage done by his "so-called" manager and the many others of the past--the beautiful young people, real stars who've been harmed by con-artists. I pray these young actors stay firmly grounded and not let anyone take advantage of them.
I have seen the film twice in 3 days, will go again next week and I've read through the comments. There is a common thread with those that loved the film which is that it moved them enough to send them back to see it again. I can't remember another example of a film that has affected me enough to make me want to see it again so quickly. Austin Butler WAS Elvis Presley. He expertly captured his mannerisms and expressions and, most importantly, his sexuality. Sheer directing brilliance and craftsmanship from Baz Luhrmann has resulted in pure entertainment; over two hours of sensory overload supported by many talented actors, creative camera work, color and costumes and underpinned by some of the 20th century's most unforgettable music. This has been the 'lift' that the world so badly needs.
I agree with most of what you say, having seen the film three times and each time liking it more. The only thing I would say that as excellent as Austin Butler was, he still didn’t have the stage presence and charisma that Elvis had. Really, no one could be as good,althoughAustin does a fantastic job. Tom Hanks was brilliant too. Looking forward to seeing it again.
Austin needs to get an Academy Award. Excellent actor. Want more Elvis movies!!!!
He definitely will trust me lol this kid is going places remember I said it first lol Austin is going to be huge!!!! He is a star
I go to See this movie everyday since 24th of June. I simply want to be in cinema…. close to Elvis world.
Thank you for bringing back Elvis. God bless you all!
I think Baz did a qreat job, I can’t thank him enough for this movie. I was born in 1977, never seen Elvis in a live show, but a big fan since I was a child. Nothing Touched me as Austin’sPerformance. You managed to bring back Lisa Marie to us, after such a dark time
and thank you for that too!
Elvis forever!!!!
I just loved this film. Austin was Amazing! He nailed it all the way. I've seen the film 3 times already, I want to see it tomorrow in honor of Elvis' last performance in Indianapolis, Indiana on June 26th 1977. Elvis continues to be loved by millions and millions forever, he will never be forgotten. I wonder if Elvis would have lived, what would he have done in the eighties or even nineties. Thanks Baz, for giving us a Beautiful film to watch about The one and only Elvis Aaron Presley. Baz please let us see the remaining 1 1/2 hours of footage you filmed. Thank You So Much! Baz,Austin, Tom, Olivia,Alton,Yola, Kelvin, and the rest of the cast and crew of "Elvis". Take Care and God Bless You! ❤️ ❤️
I think he would have focused on Gospel
Yes seeing it once is not enough. Loved it. Academy Awards please. ❤️
Yaaaas, I want the four hour cut!
LITTLE SISTER: After watching the movie three times, I truly believe that if Elvis had lived longer, he would have gone into politics to try to “fix” everything going wrong in our Country…the brutal killings of Martin Luther King, Jr., Bobby Kennedy and President Kennedy. To me, I feel like Elvis was clearly disturbed at the direction our Country was heading and would have tried to steer it in a different direction. His 1968 comeback song “If I Can Dream” demonstrated his frustrations with our Country and perhaps the World.
I have been a huge Elvis fan all my life. (I turn 42 this year, so it puts the age of his death in perspective) And I thought Austin did an amazing job. Showed a man's greatness and flaws, and his kindness most of all.
Austin Butler Amazing amazing actor I have never seen such a real emotional delivery that I managed to live that time for more than 02:30 minutes dancing singing acting with faces and mouths and visceral expressions a spectacle of acting Elvis Presley deserves this star that appeared in the cinema.
I love listening to all of the cast speak about their experiences and feelings about making this beautiful movie. Thanks for sharing!
Have seen it 3 times already, plan on much more viewings. It has reached deep in my soul. Fantastic! Academy Awards for sure all around.
This film is just beyond words. I was not a big fan of Elvis walking in to the theatre by boy, my boy am I now!! Best film of the year if not decade! Sublime. Austin IS Elvis. Tom is incredible as always. Baz - thank you for making such a beautiful, soul enriching movie that, like Elvis. will transcend time. Best director award surely goes to you, man!!! Thank you!!! :)
I don’t think Americans realise what an indelible impression Elvis made on the whole world. A genius, an icon - The King
We know and, we’re proud.
@@horaciocapanelli-soto4710
Elvis was the best thing ever to come from the USA 👍🍷
I’ve watched this beautiful powerful movie 3 times now 😊 my husband and I love it .. love what the man stood for … Elvis was a gift to us all, these fine actors did a excellent job introducing the modern world to the real Elvis
Thank you … now give Austin a Oscar lol 😘
Brilliant film great acting by Austin as elvis and tom always make each part is own
Incredible movie! Austin Butler is epic!
As the movie started I saw Tom Hanks, after the first few minutes I saw Col. Tom Parker the rest of the movie. That's how great a job Tom Hanks did.
I agree and also think Austin should get an Oscar. BAZ should get an Oscar too
Austin Bulter is Elvis . I own movie and love it
My grandma and my mom introduced me to Elvis, his music is just so addicting,truly an incredible performer that doesn’t come around all that often. Austin is sensational in the film.
Went to the movie with my 18 year old daughter. She has heard my tale of seeing Elvis in 1973. Also I'm from Indiana so the ending made me cry. This cast delivered. Thank you!
What absolute fun this was to watch. Thanks to all of you and the others in the Elvis movie. One of the best movies I’ve seen in yrs. It’s been open for two days and I’ve seen it twice. Plan on going back since we’ve collected enough points to watch it on the gigantic special XD screen. A better cast I’ve rarely ever seen. Bless you all. I’ve been chronically ill for 28 years and you’ve brought me such joy. You’ve shown the world how great of a talent Elvis was and how instinctively he sang and lived his life. He deserves your pride in him and you deserve how proud he must be of all of you. God bless.
SO much talent everywhere. Yes, Austin deserves an academy award, but everyone here was Phenomenal. I plan on watching it many times.
It is amazing, how many generations even after his death, knew his music well. I was 4 when Elvis passed away. I grew up in love. I used to make him Christmas cards that I just hung on my wall until my step mother would throw them away. I loved the fact that Elvis came from poverty to wealth, through doing an art, a creative process that he absolutely loved. True testament that art/music/ and doing what you love- the process of creation can set a soul free.
I can barely get through watching popular, newly released films once. This one has me smiling, dancing and raving about its portrayals and genuine talent on so many returns from beginning to final credits. What energy in each scene and so many amazing musical moments.
Me too
I was singing 🗣️🎶🎵 EVERYBODY, not just Elvis. Richard, Rosetta, Mama Thornton... 🧑🎤 This movie kept me entertained on every level.
I haven't ever seen a movie 5 times at the theater but I saw this one 5. There are many layers, and Austin is so likeable by himself. The camera loves him. The movie has clips of real elvis in montages. People want to see that. Aust pulled off a miracle too. I liked maverick but seeing it once was enough since it was a copy of the original.
I watched this last, ohmigod, what can I say about this film that hasn't been said before.
It was awesome, Butler was spellbinding as Elvis, watching the sequences from The Comeback Special and TTWII, you'd think you were actually watching Elvis, the way he moved, his mannerisms, Butler absolutely nailed it. And it was such an emotional film as well, being released 2 days after my Mums birthday (who's no longer here), it was through my Mum, my love of Elvis' music developed, as she lived through that era in the UK.
I loved the sequence that skipped through Elvis' 60 movies, was really funny.
Kudos to all involved.
this IS the most intellectual and TRUE conversation about the artistry of elvis presley, that I've ever seen.
amd I've studied this subject longer than most people have been alive.
elvis presley was soul depth and diversity personified.
his initial sound at sun studio was the fusion of white country with black rhythm and blues,
THOSE critically acclaimed recordings are REVELATORY and innovative.
then, he changed multiple times in his very very short career and life, truly remarkable.
Baz Luhrmann, you have my respect. Elvis himself would have loved the movie!!!!! I know I did!!! And not only did you talk about the King of Rock and Roll, but you also covered the people who influenced him!!!!!! Big Mama Thornton, Little Richard, and especially the legend that is BB King!!!!! With Bohemian Rhapsody about Queen, Rocketman about Elton John, and of course Elvis about, well, Elvis, the Rock and Roll Cinematic Universe (RRCU) is underway!!!!! I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHO’S NEXT!!!!!!!!!
I’ve seen it 3x…can’t get enough…Austin…a star is born…stay sweet and humble. As a person
Congratulations to you all on fantastic movie and this is from a Elvis fan for over 40 years.
I agree. The best ever movie I've seen about Elvis since I was 13 years old...when I eceived my first single of Elvis from my older sister and now I am a 78 years old lady and will be a die-hearted devoted Elvis-fan until I die.
What a fantastic and genuine movie. All actors are terrific. Must see it one more time. Unfortunately I never got the chance to see Elvis perform alive even vif I've been to Graceland twice.
I'm from far away Sweden but love him as much as you American Elvis-fans do. His story , mannerism and fabulous voice belong to all people of the world. GOD BLESS HIS BEAUTIFUL SOUL!
I’ve seen 3 times!!
Gearing up for a possible 4th. It’s freaking awesome!
Definitely Oscar worthy.
Wow. This is a treasure.
Austin Butler dug deep into Elvis's life that Elvis's spirit blended together and with the understanding of studying Elvis's style and songs and voice he brought to the movie and a new generation.... with that said... don't you think he deserves an Oscar or two... one for Elvis and one for Austin......??
We will always have the music There will only EVER be one king one Elvis.Someone once said if a man lives on in the hearts of others then he is never truly lost. So Elvis will live FOREVERMORE
I cried at the end, great film.
However, it was much too short, felt rushed, didn’t get to fully absorb & enjoy Austin’s amazing performances.
Left feeling gutted, for Elvis & for what the movie could’ve been.
Still loved it though.
Saw Elvis 5x in theater.
Couldn’t get enough.
Film was such a shock , but so well made. I wept for him & Priscilla.
Wow what a phenomenal actor Austin Butler… you definitely filled the show and clothes of Elvis!
You made me laugh and cry and move my feet during your songs!! You have really nailed the voice the dance moves and his expressions…just all of Elvis!
Tom Hanks…you did your homework well and brought to life a man no one knew much about…I came away not sure how I feel about the Colonel himself…but I’ll go see you in any film you make…your truly are the finest actor I have ever seen!! You played this so well I am pretty sure those who knew him would very much agree! It seems the Colonel knew to keep his distance from the boys…. But he sure did spread the family with lots of charm! Great acting!!!
Upon one viewing of the film, my ankle literally was hurting. 😁😀
Movie is epic. Austin is epic. Soundtrack is epic.
I didnt know who yola is but her voice is amazing and I really like her interview.
My father met Elvis when they were very young, an Elvis not that famous, they had a friend in commun. Since I had born, many years later, my father always tells me about that moment, about a very humble person. That is why Im Elvis fans.
How touching....
Your input ,
Elvis Presley...is King Of Rock n Roll
Is in this movie..
Austin Butler brings him alive ....all the world enlightening to behold an Oscar...
Hollywood....wake up..
Tom Hanks..
Both hand the ...new movie star ...young guy..
Is Austin Butler
🏆
Austin must win the Oscar ‼️‼️🥰He was awesome no words can expressed how great he was making Elvis 🌟🎊💫
I didn't want this discussion to end !
Seen the film twice already, love it.
Austin deserves an Oscar for this
the guy wearing the blue shirt looks like he could be a good choice to play as Michael Jackson if they ever did a biopic movie. Their voice even sounds close
@Anthony Vasquez I thought the same thing! ☺️
Well, with the RRCU (Rock n Roll Cinematic Universe) growing exponentially, I can definitely see that.
@Anthony Vasquez Alton Mason? Yeah. I can totally see that.
He was great in the film too. But MJ is even more controvertial.
Totally understand Elvis so much better
What a wonderful job on everyone’s work !
I watched it 3 times in a row
What an amazing cast.
Austin butler I have feelings he’s gone win Oscar award..❤
I've already seen the film three times and I'm ready for the fourth time.
“Elvis” was amazing✨…just like the movie, I did not want this conversation to end. Thank you all & everyone involved in bringing this heartfelt & soulful artistry & tribute to life!
love it
This is my new favorite movie and yes, I'm an Elvis fan. You want some fun look up Stage Show March 1956 for Elvis's early tv appearance.
What a great get TOGETHER! This is one of the best all round interviews of actors/actresses and Baz the director!
Seen it twice and the magic was still there on the second viewing
I love this uninterrupted natural chit chat. Wonderful film.
Polly Bennett was the movement coach on this and I think she’s done a great job not just with Elvis of course but the Beale Street performers and crowds. It’s crazy what she does.
Also the movement coach on Bohemian Rhapsody!
👏👏👏👏
Thank this Young Man that Truly Honored Elvis and His Family 🙏 To allow this generation try to understand and see, what a Beautiful Blessing that Elvis was and will always be to our world 🙏😢💔 And to understand how Elvis brought Our Country and World Together like Nobody else has ever been able to do, since then. My Uncle still has the Complete Collection of Every 45 and Album Elvis ever made🙏 I grew up not knowing anything but Elvis as I was blessed to live with and grow up living with my grandmother and all my Aunts and Uncles during these times ❤️
at 23.00 u r so Right BAZ , that music worked for that scene WITH THE TENSION GOING ON AROUND ELVIS AND THE MOOD HE WAS IN, INTENSE ! SENSATIONAL ! Oscar's GALLORE FOR ELVIS THE IS BRILLIANT AMAZING FANTATIC ARTISTIC SENSATIONAL 🥰FR.AUSTRALIA
Tom Hanks was amazing in the Elvis movie too ‼️He should be nominated as a supporting role 🎊Great Elvis movie with all the actors and actresses!!!Loved Austin🥰💖
Elvis was spiritual and all his soul shines through his musical voice, his inner life, BAz is right. What a great tribute you all did through this movie!!! Saw it three times already and I teared up after each screening at a different cinema :)
I saw the movie, it is so captivating. Austin and Tom Hanks will definitely win an Oscar! The best movie I have seen in years!
Austin you done great it was like looking at Elvis again.
This movie was not only good it was to good the acting by the people that portrayed Elvis and his manager would nothing short of Genius
I have seen it twice in the space of 4 days I might do a third.It is a fabulous movie and I took 2 of my 20+ kids with me.They also loved it and have a new appreciation and knowledge of Elvis and the eras the movie portrays.Well done
Baz + Elvis = ✴Brilliance!✴
If Austin doesn’t win all the awards for Elvis it is wrong..I have seen him in person and Austin nailed it to a tee,!!
i saw it on Friday out standing Movie and the Oscar are waiting for your
i really bealive Austin deserves one!! elvis wife and daughter thought he was perfect, what else u need
THIS MOVIE WAS AMAZING!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
AWESOME VIDEO! This is a BEAUTIFUL cast round-the-table discussion. Everyone in the cast did an AMAZING job! The film is PHENOMENAL. ❤️
The courage Elvis had to be himself, in the face of all else, and yet, at no time in his life did stop evolving. It captures a life lived in how he, as a artist & person, took in the difficult and tumultuous times of each era but also remembers to process each experience he had in his life that were always going to go through, the loss of twin & loss of his mother, would have always been a part of Elvis's journey regardless of if the rest of us going on his journey. It still keeps Elvis in the elusive sense because he was not the sum of his parts and rarely, does the "subject" of Elvis gets lost because it's always been "Elvis in the 50s" "Army Elvis" "Comeback Elvis" and this puts him back as both the cultural change to it all of those things which is Elvis.
Every character really did a spectacular job!
AWESOME MOVIE SEEN IT YESTERSDAY! DESERVES AN OSCAR💯⭐🏆⭐
I smiled, laughed and cried watching this. Thank you
The pub scene was great like an old honky-tonk bar would be and watching the actor play little richard i thought he was better than the original, and the actor playing BBking both really fit the part! The song of miracles happening every day was sung so good. The pub was perfect and important for the script
Fantastic film and everyone should be proud of themselves! A masterpiece! 🇬🇧👍🥳
Deep, must see it, had doubts, as a musician at first ..lover of the Blues, rock n Roll, rock, hey ..that guy has got it, need actors like this again, there is depth in him, for good films to come.....cool,
❤Austin was magnificent in this movie made you feel as if you were there yourself
Baz you are a talented man. You make fantastic movies, and Elvis is the best so far.
Austin Butler he was the perfect person to play Elvis. He captured the "Spirit" of Elvis. He has Elvis's natural hair color.
Elvis would be very pleased with Austin's portrayal of him. I see Oscar's for Baz, Austin, and Tom Hanks! Thank You! I'm going to watch the movie again! I loved it!
Incredible insight from Austin and Tom at 12:00
You all nailed it!
Congrats to all, film well done!
Oh my God I've seen the movie 3 times and Austin ...I'm speechless...Austin as Elvis exceptional excellent the movie is beautiful..but 😔 sad ..
I like the film with Elvis,,,,,,,
I'm glad they mentioned Johnny bravo
Tom Hanks looks GREAT! His skin looks so healthy and glowing!
He was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes & had to lose 50 pounds to control & overcome it.
I have always been an Elvis fan but I tell people who don’t like him or never listened to his music or watched a movie to see this film. There is such an interesting underlying super hero theme that even young people would recognize and enjoy. So even if you aren’t into Elvis or the music go see it.
Part 2 please lol. I need more
😂🤣 There can't be a part 2. He died at the end. I want to see the entire 4 hours of material they condensed to 2 1/2 hours. An uncut version would be 🤩 FABULOUS
Tom Hanks is also perfect in this movie role since he taught Elvis Presley how to dance when he was little (Forrest Gump), the become his agent when gets old 😉😉😉
❤ This was a BLESSING AS WELL. NOW I SEE WHY I COULDN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF THE SCREEN FOR THE WHOLE MOVIE AND AM STILL WATCHING IT ON REPEAT EVERDAY FOR MY DAYS OFF. BUT my favorite scenes... Like Baz mentioned when Elvis drives off and goes to Club Handy. I guess before shooting, all the extras on set were scared and there was "fear on the set." Then you played that Kanye West song and told everyone to relax & enjoy themselves; it ended up being a powerful and fun scene. As an audience, that was a VERY POWERFUL SCENE. ALL OF IT. FROM HIS YELLING AT HIS MAMMA FOR DRINKING TOO MUCH AND NEVER BEING HAPPY TO ENJOYING the performance at club Handy. Amazing! Baz, now we know why your movies are such a wonderful experience. You respect all your set dressers and actors and make masterpieces by doing so. Thank you❤❤❤.
All such GREAT PEOPLE!!
