I'm 85 years old. I seen ELVIS in concert in 1956 and 1957 and 1975. 56 and 57 it was wild. Women went crazy. They climbed over chairs and rushed the stage. They screamed ELVIS over and over. ELVIS was very polite between songs he would talk to the audience. ELVIS was full of energy and non stop on stage. 1975 show was incredible. Women cried and yelled his name. He put on a fantastic show. Women wouldn't leave after the show was over and that was the first time I heard over the speakers ELVIS has left the building. I have been to many concerts ROCK AND country. No one person or band comes close to Elvis. His movies or concerts or interviews on tape are nothing. You had to see him live to feel the magic and excitement. The people who didn't see him live really missed out on the greatest show on earth as Tom Hank's said.
Well said, Kenneth. I had the opportunity in the mid-70s to see him in my hometown of Hartford CT but didn't do it. What a regret.
Boy are you 110% correct! Saw him 1970 and throughout the 70’s….last time was 1976. Hard to describe to someone that never saw him live! I was one of those crazy screaming women…..
Well some of us didn’t have that chance. But I still feel a rare form of magic in Elvis performances.
@@geeebuttersnap2433 Yes, that is why he is the GOAT; that Magic comes through in the videos of many of his live performances. It’s that IT factor that he had in abundance and his ability to draw you in. Thank goodness he left us with a lot of material, videos and such. If you want to watch what it was like in the early 70’s the movie “Elvis That’s The Way It Is” is fantastic. I wish I had seen him in the beginning of his career, but before my time.
Thank you for the detailed description of the Elvis concerts... I can almost feel the magic! You were so fortunate to be there... still love his music. This man is the VOICE! He could sing like no other. From South Africa ⚡👍🆒️🇿🇦
It was more than charisma, it was his humanity and his southern roots, his generosity, his good looks and the fact that he was a talented vocalist beyond belief. It was his story, and his tragedy. He was an absolute, humble, southern gentleman who could electrify a crowd with a few backup singers and a few instruments. He didn't need fireworks and grand or elaborate set design. His striking good looks were the icing on the cake. It has been said more than once that when he entered a room not only were all eyes on him but everyone knew they were standing in the presence of greatness. While most looked at him like an enigma, when he spoke you saw the man who feared going on stage, he feared disappointing people, he was seriously imperfect... yet he was embraced by a world who loved him .. warts and all. His death created an international shockwave where remnants still linger on the anniversary of his death where 10's of thousands of people come from around the world to pay their respects. I'm a native Memphian, I've seen it. He will never be forgotten since his legacy is literally passed down through families. He was different in all ways not just musically. I watched an interview the other day of Baz (researching for his movie) and a black gentleman named Sam who was one of Elvis's good friends in Tupelo. Something Sam said stuck with me. He said, when Elvis was moving away from Tupelo to Memphis everyone worried about him since they felt people would never understand him and he would be mistreated. He lived in the ghetto and his love for the black community and theirs for him was genuinely evident in this interview. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/LrFCyNMvZWk/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this comment. I'm going to watch the link you sent. Much appreciated. Elvis was all of that - we can relate to him in many ways. And in other ways, we could never understand the pressures he was under.
Well said. I'm from South Africa and Elvis was huge in our Country. Every boy and young man wanted to look like him, sideburns and all 😂🤭 when he died it was headline news for days... we cried and everyone rushed out and bought more of his records. I remember every detail of my life and what I was doing when I heard about his death... the day the world stood still! His echo will never die! 👍⚡🇿🇦
“I wasn’t just a fan, I was his brother. He said I was good and I said he was good; we never argued about that. Elvis was a hard worker, dedicated, and God loved him … I love him and hope to see him in heaven. There’ll never be another like that soul brother”. --- James Brown
Well said, James.
He was drafted into the army. He made 3 movies before the army and had to fulfill his contract after he returned. He hated the movies. As a huge fan, it’s not about the actor looking like him or getting his voice just right…it’s about telling the story…showing who Elvis really was. The Colonel was Dutch and an illegal immigrant thus why Elvis never performed overseas. Being a big fan, there is so much detail in the trailer…Baz really got it.
It looks like Baz got it right -- a great biopic can be so entertaining - there are a few lately that have been less than that. I'm hoping for a great movie experience....at the theater!
I agree it is the story that is the important thing. And from that trailer, I am concerned about the beginning. His early days were the most important part of his life and I don't quite get the feel that they are going to capture that very well. It seems they are overly simplifying that part of his life and I get the feel that they are going to rush through that and not give it enough importance. Hopefully not but we'll see.
@@kevinerose They will do a GREAT JOB. Better than ever seen before, anywhere. Baz interviewed SAM BELL, one of Elvis black friends and leader of the pack who introduced Elvis to some of the worst parts of ghetto life. This story of racial integration is historic in the years during and directly after Great Depression and segregation. This will be incredibly accurate. Watch this. th-cam.com/video/LrFCyNMvZWk/w-d-xo.html
Anastasiakk23 well said I TOTALLY agree with u! 🥰
He made 4 movies before the army love me tender loving you Jailhouse Rock and King Creole
Michael Jackson was asked at the pinnacle of his career was there any celebrity that made him stand in awe. He said yes, Elvis Presley!
There you go - the King.
The movie is so SENSATIONAL! At times watching ELVIS on stage I felt I was WATCHING ELVIS live in concert! I have seen it 4 times going again! 🥰from Australia
It's supposed to be great! Mark has seen it twice already!
@@CinemondoPodcast 9 times I have loved it so far in the big surround sound at the big screen cinema! Addictive watching! 🥰fr.Australia
Elvis of the 70s was the complete artistic singer. Unmatched. Millions still love him. And known to the world by his first name.
I lived in Memphis for about 30 years. I was at a football game in 1975 and the whole west side of the Liberty Bowl started standing up and looking up. I thought there might be a fight. There was an odd feeling buzzing. Suddenly a figure up in the press box stood up and waved to the crowd. It was Elvis. Amazing that someone could captivate a crowd of 50,000 especially those on the west side of the stadium.
No doubt about it. He had it - probably the biggest star ever in American music. Or certainly a case can be made for him. Thanks for sharing the memory.
I’m born and raised in memphis. Just about every Memphian has their own EP story. The movie will be heavily scrutinized here- but it looks like it’s been done well.
Thx for sharing
"Computers may out think us one day, but as long as people got feelings we'll be better than they are."- Elvis Presley.
Great quote!
Wardrobe and Set Locations look outstanding, the trailer looks great, cannot wait to see it, will be my first time back in a theater since pre-covid woo hoo! 👍😎🔥
Hope you enjoy it! It looks great - especially if you love all things Elvis. Thanks, Mahon007!
@@CinemondoPodcast the ELVIS MOVIE was filmed in Australia! Tom Hanks came out for 16 weeks ! Lived on the gold coast and was often seen going for early morning beach walks! He said He WOULD SPEND three hours every day getting .make up on!🥰
Yeh wardrobe ace, but no were as presley would be
You can’t stay young forever! Elvis changed… he developed. Instead of looking at it negatively…. To Go and discover his voice and the progression from the 50s… is a beautiful journey…. it will blow your socks off. During this discussion, I heard clothes, vegas years, movies… I didn’t hear - voice!!!! Let’s not forget his songs. Elvis was an entertainer first and foremost…. He gave us an insane catalogue…. Listen to his voice first…. He never lost it!!!!!
Enjoyed the conversation!!! Oh I love clambake 😉 ELVIS movies always and forever ♾
I can’t wait for the movie 🍿
I think Baz captures the essence of Elvis and what he meant to the world and how he was a pioneer. Also his relationship with Col. Parker. I personally love his 1968-1972 years the best, but of course, his voice. The Memphis sound and what he brought to such classic tunes is hard to equal. Thanks for listening and watching, Elvis Lass!
I guess it’s unpopular but I LOVE Elvis’ Vegas years. His kung fu moves were so captivating and awesome! He chose jumpsuits because it allowed him to freely move and not snag his clothing.
Even his Aloha from Hawaii concert he looked so damn good! I love all Elvis from his rebel rock days to his Vegas days. He always worked his hardest to put on a good show and as a result of his 640 some Elvis shows he sold out 635 in Vegas alone.
His Vegas years are definitely fun but maybe it just suffers a bit in comparison when he was shaking things up and doing something radical in the music biz when he started out. ⚡️❤️
I'm 24 years old and elvis fan since i was 5. i grew up on elvis and learnd pretty much about him in the last 20 years. So i beg you to watch elvis thats the way it is 1970, elvis on tour 1972 and elvis aloha from hawaii 1973. there you see an elvis is the early 70s thats on his prime!
he is slim, he is fit, he is funny, his voice is perfect, he had his little sunshine lisa marie, he solds out every show in vegas and on tour,
His show aloha from hawaii watched over 1.5 billion people around the golbe, he startet the sunburn hyp of the 70s, he startet flashy stage outfits, he was the first to do all of that.
@@philipptakingcare4751 oh I’ve seen all of that already and am the biggest Elvis nerd lol I love Elvis, the greatest entertainer in the history of the world!
Heck! The first time I saw Elvis perform live was at 13 in Las Vegas in 1970! The early years of Vegas at the International. He was Electrifying and I became a huge fan. We lucked out and were close to the stage. Not too many words that can describe his voice, performance,charisma, just WOW! Anyway, I saw him several times in Vegas. Maybe the latter years of Vegas, he was perhaps tired of performing there, but he always put on a phenomenal show. I also saw him in concert many times. So….while all my friends were into the Stones, and the other fantastic bands at the time, I was going to see ‘E’… and most of them were converted to Elvis fans once they saw the man live. Concerts were crazy……Vegas was too, but different type of crowd, but regardless Elvis was Elvis no matter where he performed…just no one like him and likely never will be.
@@Newuser03 thank you for sharing your stories! I wish more than anything I got to see Elvis live. And I’m sure he did love Vegas but around the 1975-1976 time frame I’m sure he was tired of it, after all he performed 600+ shows there alone!
But I happen to like 70s Elvis just as much as 50s Elvis! He was beautiful and charismatic all around and even up until he died he gave it his all ❤️
Elvis' earlier 1950's dress sense marks him as a true style icon. And it feels particularly relevant today - Cuban collar shirts, wide-legged, pleated trousers, blousons - these are all garments making the rounds on the menswear circuit, but they were also integral to Elvis’ 1950s style wardrobe. He did it all first.
hard to imagine how that all looked to the average 1950s American. Like from another planet. A true pioneer.
I think Kathy may be right about Austin Butler being able to bring his own charisma to the screen. Almost unanimously, most Elvis fans when they first saw his picture, and found out he was going to be the one playing Elvis, were disappointed. Saying he looks nothing like him, how can he play Elvis, couldn't they have picked somebody better? But I noticed that after watching the trailer, almost everyone changed their mind about him, and think he might pull it off. So if he can convince people that he might make a good Elvis, in those few seconds of clips that we see of him, I'd say he's already displaying a certain amount of that "it" factor that Elvis had.
So hard to capture the magnetism of Elvis for any actor. But he looks like he might be able to pull it off. Would be amazing, as the film looks really good from the trailer. Thanks for the comment!
King Creole, Jailhouse Rock were great films and showed how great of an actor he could've been. His early Vegas years, ie 69-71 were awesome!! His Elvis on Tour from 72 is also special!! He toured the US - wasn't always in Vegas. You're right about Elvis - had more charisma I His little finger than most people do in their whole person.
You either have it....or you don't. Elvis had it in droves.
@@CinemondoPodcast People who met Elvis said he was the most gorgeous human they ever saw..even better looking in person.Nobody had it like Elvis
@@CinemondoPodcast You three made assumptions about his death. Elvis had medical issue in 9 of 11 body systems. He only took prescription meds for his many medical issues. He was never fat. He had a lot of fluid retention caused by several conditions and steroids to control them.He could lose as much as 30 lbs in a week when he got his medical issues lessened. So in some concerts he was normal weight. Maybe two weeks later he was bloated..a vicious cycle. Not one of his many medical doctors said meds killed him.They said it was a heart attack brought on ny valsalvar maneuver. The coroner looked at toxicology reports and the autopsy. Official cause is heart attack. If you go to youtube Globetrotting with Trey, Sally Hoedel is interviewed about her book Destined to Die Young. She researched all his medical records. Took three years. The myth about his death will likely be in Baz movie but real El is fans know the real truths about him. Likeky there wil also be more distortions in the movie.
Just what I said about this going Vegas nonsence. 👍 😊
Elvis sold more then any music dead or alive to this day Elvis Presley Never be forgotten He lives by his billion Of fans around the world TCB 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
His legacy lives on! ⚡️
Thats right, He was and still is the GOAT!!!!!!
Whitney Huston said that when her mother worked as a backup singer for Elvis, she took her to meet him. She said when Elvis walked into the room his presence was so awesome she couldn't speak. BTW: the Colonel was Dutch, which is why Tom Hanks has that Dutch accent.
My grandmother who loved Elvis as a teenager had this to say " after God made Elvis, He lit a cigar. Cause by then He was just showing off."
LOL - Fact! ❤
Just the best ever Elvis Presley hugs from spain.i like in fact Elvis More in the 1970
Elvis lives on! 🌟
Think you guys should sit down and watch That's the way it is 1970, his first years in Vegas was amazing, but of course doing 2 shows a day will catch in the end!
My (Mark) favorite Elvis period was from the '68 special to 1972. Memphis sound, etc. All of it incredible - but yes, the downside was just too much of everything will catch up to you. Thanks for the comment, Paul.
My late father who was Southern European, who first educated me that Colonel Tom was actually a Dutch illegal immigrant. But he also alleged Tom fled Holland, cause he was a suspect in a murder. Cheers. 🥃👍
Certainly an interesting character, Gabe!
I wish I could remember who said it, but I remember reading about the effect Elvis had when walking into the room- that first people were just struck by his looks, that he was always the most attractive person in the room that made both men and women envious of the way the room stopped when he walked in. And then it was about his charm and charisma and that he just oozed “cool” without even trying
He was the king for a reason. He just had "it".
8:00 one of the reasons why we still make movies and new records (remastered, duets...) is also that His heirs are very united and determinated to enhance Elvis' legacy.
I didn't know Austin before this movie. Today I'm going to the cinema to see Elvis for the 7th time 😊
well, I loved the early Vegas- years - it has some really great performances- some of his greatest, And his voice from 1968-73 is the best, in my view - I think he slowly started the downfall after the satelite Aloha-show in 1973.
Agree BF, he just couldn't sustain it. And probably getting bad advice from Colonel Parker.
@@CinemondoPodcast It seems like the Colonel ran him down. Some of Elvis' friends tell stories about how for the Colonel money came before health. And for some reason Elvis didn't say no. Maybe the trailer hinted to why: He was affraid to be forgotten by his fans - and he was afraid everything could be gone and he and his family would be dirt poor again. But who knows
...
Me too!!!!
His downfall definitely coincided with his divorce in 1973 which was shortly after the globally televised Aloha Concert. Priscilla took his beloved daughter, Lisa Marie, to California after the divorce was final. Keep in mind that Elvis did not ever like to be alone, especially knowing that his little girl Lisa was now 3,000 miles away and I’m certain that he still loved Priscilla.
He had a couple girlfriends, but that wasn’t any consolation considering all that he lost.
It was obvious that he went steadily downhill and would die only four short years later at the young age of 42. A very sad ending for a man of his talent, generosity, character and faith.
It’s been said many times that God was showing off when he created Elvis.
Brand new Elvis book, Elvis: The Quest for an Oscar, great cover, 536 pages. The book will convince you that Elvis deserves an Oscar for his contributions to the movie industry. Elvis was able to capture the persona of all the characters he played to perfection. The 31 movies that Elvis made always entertained everyone who watched them. Austin Butler will most definitely receive the Oscar for his dynamic performance in “Elvis”. It’s time Hollywood gave Elvis the Oscar he deserves. “Elvis”, the movie you must see, Elvis: The Quest for an Oscar, the book you must read….
Sounds fascinating! Thank you Jim!
No one can or ever will compare to Elvis chrisma BUT in this case you have a great producer, artist, technicians & actors who TOGETHER tried to create the excitement Elvis (all by himself) brought to the stage. Im happy qith their effort. Elvis deserves a movie befitting his performances.
Long live the king! ❤️
Some of the 60s movies were greatly good . Kid Galahad and follow that dream are great .
Have you seen his 1970 vegas stuff its brilliant . It was only late 76 that he got tired of it .
It's sad that people have forgotten just how great the early Vegas years were. I think all the Elvis impersonators (some quite grotesque) that came out after his passing have done a lot to damage how the Vegas era is remembered. But the Vegas Elvis in top shape, at his best from 69' to about 72' was quite magical. Personally I would give anything to be able to jump into a time machine and go see Elvis in Vegas during those years.
His 68 Tv comeback special and the Memphis sound albums are some my favorites. And, of course, his early movies and Viva Las Vegas, are absolute fun watches. But some are brutal and towards the end, it was just too too much for him. But he's the King, and a movie about him is always worth watching. - Mark
The trailer preview looks AWESOME SENSATIONAL HISTORICAL epic and ARTISTIC! Attention to detail!
Baz LURHMANN filmed this in Australia!
It's going to be a big one, Joanne. I think sometimes biopics can go off the rails if the actor playing the star isn't right. I feel Austin Butler is going to get the essence of the King. I hope I'm right. Thanks for watching Joanne! - Mark
@@CinemondoPodcast u r right! AUSTIN DID get the essence of ELVIS! So far I have loved this movie 9 times on the big screen! OSCAR'S GALLORE FOR ELVIS THE MOVIE IS SENSATIONAL BRILLIANT AWESOME ARTISTIC FANTASTIC MOVIE IS ELVIS!
The scene where a man asks: "...and who are you, Elvis?" is Elvis and Steve Binder before the 'Comeback Special'.
Thank you for that! I was wondering who it was, and Steve Binder is such an interesting director back in the day. He did everything from those movie concerts, T.A.M.I. Show to Gilligan's Island and the Star Wars TV special.
I don't care what they say I loved those movies.He was a great singer .
Elvis rocked! ❤🔥
I think deep down Elvis really wanted to be an actor on par with Montgomery Clift and James Dean.
I love his movies to; I could care less what they think!!!
Me to
Elvis movies 🍿 always and forever ♾
im a Huge Elvis fan and i know the story. the Down fall. im really hoping they not only focus on the best parts of his life but also the darkside. im so tired of Hollywood making these biopics and fabricating stuff just to have a happy ending. Show us the true real Story!
Hard to tell how much they'll show of it, but hoping the same as you.
U must be happy with the result then
That's how Parker spoke he was Dutch .
its not Parker its Hanks' accent - dubious. ;-)
Elvis didn't join the army, he was drafted
Yes, our mistake on that one. We meant to say that he was drafted. Apologies.
My initial humble opinion (and I realize it's just my opinion folks)?: 2023 will be the FIRST TIME I sit down to watch the OSCARS in 30 years. Just to root for Baz and the team he has put together to KICK ASS and win some awards for all their expertise and hard work!!! This is looking like it is going to be a MASTERPIECE work of art.
A very good chance he will win multiple awards!
Love Elvis always
A legend!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
There will never be another Elvis
Indeed Robbie- a true legend ❤️
And who are you Elvis.... He's the KING Goddamnit
Long live the king!!!👑👑👑
STORY OF A MUCH LOVED AMERICAN LEGEND AND ICON LOOKS AND SOUNDS AMERICAN!
ENTIRELY FILMED IN AUSTRALIA AMAZINGLY WELL DONE MOVIE BRILLIANT AWESOME ARTISTIC FANTASTIC! OSCAR'S GALLORE FOR ELVIS THE MOVIE !
Baz Luhrmann was able to capture the tsunami that Elvis was to American culture.
Feels that way from this trailer, Mark. I agree - Mark
Yes I agree 100-percent what you said about Tom Hanks everything
Thank you Alan! Appreciate that very much!

Elvis Second to none 🎤🍿
Long live the King !
Burk: Elvis did NOT join the Army he was drafted into the Army and did his 2 years proudly.
You are correct!
I love the movie "Girls, Girls, Girls"! :)
This movie was AMAZING! Austin Butler is fantastic!
So good!
I agree. Such a grand film.
Great trailer! Maybe Austin may not look like Elvis - but he sings a bit like him. Yes, Austin Butler is singing. So, that's a fun fact.🙂
I think he does look like Elvis! Sultry… ❤️🔥
31 movies! Good or Bad. And no...not all the songs was bad. You had to live and watch those movies in there time. And the fans did no want the actor they wanted ELVIS!
Some are very good - a lot aren't, but they are a guilty pleasure. And certainly they have their place in the 1960s world of entertainment. Thanks John.
Well said!!! They were successful and what got me in to ELVIS as a child in the 80s - I arrived after ELVIS passed - the movies were my window in to ELVIS!!! X
Elvis 2022
⚡️2022⚡️
One of the greatest movies I've ever seen
Mark just saw it -he loved it!
From this trailer it doesn't really say, but Elvis Presley made 31 movies as an actor.
Wow! Did not realize he did so many!
They brought Hanks on because he can play any part!
Parker was from the Netherlands so the accent is a real thing.
Going Vagas.
Elvis can't go Vegas, he made Vegas a show city. He changed Vegas completely.
True! He molded Vegas in his image ❤️😍🤩
I loved the movies when i was a kid, you say god awful as an adult watching them but to kids it was very entertaining at that time.
There are films I hold dear to my heart that I saw as a child that do not hold up so I totally get where you are coming from. It’s so easy to get cynical - I am looking forward to seeing this film and rediscovering Elvis ❤️- kathy
Some of Elvis’s movies are actually good. My favorite it King Creole.
We Should revisit some Elvis movies! Be appreciation ❤️❤️❤️
Guys - just a heads up - the audio on the trailer is turned way down - but can hear you guys perfect.
Yes, we're working on that. Thanks, Scott. We'll do better next time!
Have y'all seen the movie, yet? It's amazing!!!
Gorgeous!! Mark saw it twice!
Too bad we can't ask James Brown on Elvis. He, and many of his contemporary legends in film and music,. would have acknowledged the incredible charisma and presence that was Elvis.
No artist before or after has had the same throughput as that boy from Tupelo.
The king! ✨
Everyone and anyone has to see this movie
Looks really fun!
That film has got Oscar written all over it. It will win 3 Oscars minimum and be nominated for dozens of awards. This real story will make millions of new young fans. Elvis was a YOUTH MOVEMENT more than anything. And that energy turned right into the civil rights movement and changed the world. Austin Butler looks like a young Johnny Depp and he will nab one of those Oscars for sure. This movie just made him a star. I WILL BE IN THE THEATER... no streaming .... on opening night! Bringing the whole family. Driving to a drive in movie theater FOR THE ULTIMATE NOSTALGIA 1st. Then the following week I'll see it in the IN THE highest quality IMAX THEATER we have so I can get the best sound quality experience.
It really does look like an award winner! Luhrmann knows how to make a lush musical film. He was the right guy for the job!😍🍿🙌
He didnt join the Army he was drafted for 2 years
You are correct, Richard! Thank you!
No one will ever look or sound like Elvis and that is a huge hurdle to get over.... Eddie Murphy said that Elvis had more charisma than any other entertainer in history so who ever took the Elvis role had to try and get the essence of Elvis....he was the blueprint of everything good and bad in the entertainment industry...he was like a lightening bolt in the 1950s and even though his movies became the same format after the first 3 or 4 he still had screen presence...68Special he showed that he was as good as any new artists out there and early 70s he set the Las Vegas standard...even his outfits were again setting a fashion statement...look at the Osmonds, the Jacksons etc... unfortunately like the movies the Colonel, who was an illegal alien in the USA from Holland, real name Andreas Cornelius Van Kuyk, starved Elvis of so many opportunities, like top quality movies, overseas performances and so from 75-77 his health declined because of artistic boredom and Elvis' loyalty to the Colonel was eventually his undoing.
The one and only King. There is no doubt about that. Every now and then I watch his appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show. Goodness, almost seventy years later and he still thrills. I can't imagine how that looked to someone in the mid 1950s. Thank you for the comment, SJ TL.
You guys are partly correct when it comes to the colonel but otherwise you to study Elvis a little more Elvis evolved Here no control over that movie bullshit And he did not wear sequin jumpsuits I hate when people say that I'll say that they were beautiful works of art Rhine stones embroidery
Thank you for the comment, Dave. Understand your point.
Bad guidance? To quote John Lennon "before Elvis there was nothing". No one had yet achieved the level of fame, popularity and superstar that Elvis achieved. There was no road map, there was no guide book, Elvis was in uncharted waters. Now granted, The colonel hindered as much as he helped elvis. He was a gambler with debts who used Elvis and IS considered by my mother the villain of Elvis' story.
As a kid I remember watching Elvis on TV, in the white jumpsuit, with my mom. She wasnt a screaming Elvis girl but she would swoon like the rest. Lol
Elvis had the power - always did! 😍🔥🔥🔥🔥
You don't know what you are talking about really. Older Elvis you think right away to Vegas Elvis? He had his best concerts at that time like in 1973 Hawaii concert, that is his best concert ever so don't come here and like say 70's Elvis was not as good bc he was and even better, his voice was alot better in the late 60's and 70's...
And the idea of Vegas shows was seen differently back then than you do today, now you only think about stars that gone down hill, they are the ones going to Vegas but back then it was not like that, Vegas shows was quite a new thing back then and had alot more prestige than Vegas has today. And what else should he had done? You can not keep singing 50's songs, you must change with time and he is one of very few who stayed relevent for 3 decades.
I love your passion, saine414! Elvis is a legend - we mean no disrespect to The King!
He did it all for his mom .. I admire his courage n sheer determination to give his folks a better life ... he never gave up ... n went through so much CRAP ... he broke down barriers .... n became the most INFLUENCIAL / SUCCESSFUL/ BELOVED ARTIST... hey he was the highest paid actor in Hollywood ... you obviously haven't seen all his movies .. he was such an UNDERRATED NATURAL ACTOR n there werelots of hidden gems in all the MOVIES... he couldn't stay that RN R SINGER IN THE FIFTIES MUSIC EVOLVED ... that's dumb what you said n so SHALLOW... ELVIS SOLD OUT EVERY SHOW N STILL HOLDS THE ATTENDACE RECORD IN VEGAS... sorry to say but you need to do your RESEARCH N KNOW MORE about his life because obviously you don't .... This movie has been 8 years in the making n baz took the time to interview ELVIS' childhood friend SAM BELLE (it's on you tube) I'm hoping this movie gives him the ADULATION he truly deserves he did so much as an ARTIST N A HUMAN BEING ... HES THE GREATEST VOCALIST / ENTERAINER/ HUMANITERIN.
A legend forever! ❤️❤️❤️
This was an awesome movie!
Gorgeous film!
Of course I'm a Tom Hanks fan, like every person is, but I've also been an Austin Butler fan for quite some time as well. So this movie works for me. Butler's Elvis impression is also excellent. So different from his real voice - coming from someone who obviously knows what his real voice sounds like, so I was impressed when I saw the trailer.
Most people would know Austin Butler from the Sex and the City prequel "The Carrie Diaries". But I mainly like him from his ViaCom (including Paramount and Nickelodeon) and Disney stuff - both tv shows and movies.
Tom Hanks is trying to a Dutch accent; for the same reason he has prosthetics; he's playing Colonel Tom Parker whose family 'is' from the Netherlands and was sadly a bit of a big boy.
As a reaction, I liked this. It was honest and I respect the honesty. And you all seem to care about truly sharing your thoughts. Something interesting I picked up on though.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment, Dan. The movie looks great and I think it captures the excitement/monster talent of Elvis. Really looking forward to it! - Mark
@@CinemondoPodcast Something of Butler's that at least one of you would have seen is the Quentin Tarantino movie "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood". He played "Tex Watson" the cowboy, with the cool beard and the hair down to just above his shoulders. - So he's really very versatile. And both common audience and critics loved him in that role.
@@CinemondoPodcast Oh, and also, good job Mark. "Monster talent" is a great way to describe Elvis. You'd have earned points with my uncle who's a self-made/professing Elvis Superfan.
Read the comments below !!
Having John Cusack playing Brian Wilson was jarring as hell...didn't work
Seriously!! So right, Bill!
And Elvis fading? Maybe he was drugged up at the end, but his last show was phenomenal in term of his voice range.
Very true slevin-he had it to the end! ❤️
American pop is always dope
English music is a joke.
There going to use elvis singing voice and austins singing voice also will do a mixture
That’s a really cool idea - did not know that!
Looks great but where the xxxx did Tom Hanks get that accent. 😊 👑
Right David? It's is pretty bizarre but maybe he'll pull it off in the context of the film. we shall see! 😜
@@CinemondoPodcast 👍 fingers 🤞
It was made in Australia
Baz is an Aussie. Still looks amazing, Dave.
Are you kidding, shut your mouth lol but I love all of his movies I grew up listening to him and watching his movies and I still love them to this day
Long live the King!❤️👑
Before this Austin Butler made a brief appearance as Tex Watson in Tarantino's Once upon a time in Hollywood !
That’s where I saw him before! Thanks Stuart! ❤️
@@CinemondoPodcast 👍💞
Ur guys r so wrong I saw Elvis in concert in1975 in Jackson ms and he was fantastic I was 14 years old y’all r so wrong he made me an Elvis fan for life he had it all gave away all his money for 3 concerts for mcomb ms which got destroyed by an f 5 tornado
He's a legend - he is the King! 🙌🔥❤
Great review
Thank you again!! ❤️❤️
I hope in Europe there will be a chance to watch it.war is there behind the corner
I hope so Gilberto! I feel like this film will get a very wide release.... pending war I guess.
He didn’t join the military they forced him draft and punished him
Elvis was drafted and he went, didnt join the Army
Correct!
Tom Hanks was the only thing that took me out of it. I think he got the oily, creepy aspect of Parker down but every time I see him I think Tom Hanks. It's not fair because I think his acting is spot on but the look is not. Austin is Elvis.
Thank you mark! Totally agree! It was jarring. 😎
Mixed feelings:
* * * That accent has got to go. Hanks is a great actor who cannot do accents well. I'll get lots of push back, but even the Forest Gump accent sounded so 'made up.' We've all come to accept it, so who knows.
But my biggest beef is what Hanks said in an interview. Colonel Parker (his part in the movie) is the only reason for Elvis' success. Certainly Elvis had the talent, and the Colonel had no part in that aspect. I guess I'll grant him knowing how to market elvis, up to a point.
His influence on a young Elvis to sign a long term movie contract (10 yrs) because Elvis was getting out of the army & the Colonel wanted a sure-income was the biggest mistake, and clear the Colonel was looking out for himself in that decision. It was signed at a time when Elvis movies were still very good, but little did Elvis know what being locked-in to a 10 yr contract meant. He'd have to take all the Garbage movie scripts & movie music which would stigmatize him to this day.
Often newcomers to elvis make this mistake. They don't see his career in totality, rather just the stupid movies on tv they saw him singing Old McDonalds Farm. They don't know of the 68 comeback.
Just from the trailer, not knowing what else is in the movie, my biggest complaint may be that all of these elvis bio's only focus on the R&B aspect, which was a fraction of his music catalog. His other BIG influences were Country (Hank Williams, Hank Snow), Bluegrass(Flatt & Scruggs, Bill MOnroe), Gospel (ie: JD Sumner), and POP Ballad Crooners like (Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, & Mario Lanza).
But I assume we won't be hearing about it, because only the R&B controversy gets media attention.
Agree on the Hanks accents. They could have gotten an excellent character actor to play Parker, but they probably needed/wanted the big star. Otherwise, you have Austin Butler, who is not a household name. But all your points are valid.
Blah blah blah.. Read Kenneth's comment just 1 below (and probably many below that) and go watch another video 'Martin Sheen on Elvis' to get a better idea of what might have been going on at the time. Elvis was like a lightening bolt! I like having a look at some of these reactions - I've never watched them before - but I'm not sure the point?
Elvis was one of a kind - long live the King!
Ok, I have to disagree to an extent, ues the movies were not that great, but the MUSIC? C'mon Viva Las Vegas??? Classic. I think those are some classic Elvis tracks. Credit where credit is due.
Viva Las Vegas is great, no doubt. A very fun movie and certainly his best imho after LOVE ME TENDER. And Ann-Margret too.
it sound like yall don't know very litter about ELVIS ! yall really need to look and listen to much more this videos ! no one can come close to ELVIS !
Hi wayne! We are mostly reacting to the re-enactment footage , casting and overall production of this trailer. Until we see the film its hard to make a true judgement about 'their' Elvis. Long live the King!
There is only one Elvis
Yes! A true legend.
Hey guys we want unchartted review honestly I don't like that movie, love to hear your views on that.
Hey Pranay -- we did a trailer reaction a while ago, and I am a huge Uncharted game fan but gotta say it does look pretty bad. But will give it a look because I really want to see how they adapt this game. It is so gorgeous and lush -- I just hope they can capture that awe inspiring exploration feel. -- Kathy
This talk of going Vegas is bollocks. From 1970 to 1977 apart from his Vegas stints he was touring all over the country. HE DID NOT JUST DO VEGAS FFS.
We mean more so the Vegas vibe than just the location. That gets thrown around in regards to Elvis a lot. Not accurate but you get it. Long live the King! 😆🌟
@@CinemondoPodcast amen to that.
I agree with what you said. His movies in the sixties were all bad and with horrible music. Then Vegas 1970 showed the talent he was with that voice, but then his ego got big and he got tacky with the jumpsuits, karate movies and capes. What happened to him is sad a talented man who had a love of music who could of accomplished so much more if he would of been managed better then just a image and a $ sign.
Thanks Tammy! Some people thought we were too hard on Elvis in this trailer but it just reminds us how ground breaking he was when he started out. He lost his way but his talent was undeniable.
Im sorry but im not trying to listen to an actor trying to sing like Elvis in the 50s!? I hope this isn't the case?
I was wondering about that -- but it may be worth it if the depiction is done faithfully and with love for all that is Elvis! 👑
None of you appear to be Elvis fans and it shows. Too much criticism of Elvis without even talking about the movie. Will ignore your channel hence forth.
Sorry Sergio - We were just reacting to a Baz Luhrmann trailer but will definitely bring our Elvis appreciation to the full film when we get more context!
.........................
Sorry if we came off that way, Jim. But we are Elvis fans and know how talented Baz Luhrmann is as a director. We'll try and be more energetic next time. And we are looking forward to this film. Thanks.
@@CinemondoPodcast My apologies, I shall delete my comment. Many thanks
Your review was worthless. You might want to do some research on movies before you talk about them. The movie is based around Tom Hanks Colonel character and not Elvis.
I love watching all these no names reviewing movies they have no idea about.
We are watching trailers cold and reacting to just what we know from the trailer. When we review the film we can do background. Just how it works!
@@CinemondoPodcast So watching trailers is what you do? As I said maybe a little research???
Elvis stole black music his moves his hair style but elvis got heat from black community he helped us move up with the music he was playing they wanted more so temptations followed and more black groups
Have you guys ever looked at your hair in the mirror. Now that is crazy no hair. Elvis' hair was copied by millions. Yours will not be. Sorry.
Ummmm okay!
you know what happened ? Really
lol
As much as I respect Elvis as visionary this biopic genre just looks over saturated frm hollywood that I cant get myself to watch movie
It's Baz Luhrmann. He's an over-stylized filmmaker - but it might just work for a story about Elvis. We'll see!
This is an unfounded review. Tom Hanks poor performance ?? Not sure what you are coming from - I think you will be proved wrong. Never again with your reviews.
We may have gotten it wrong - just going off the trailer which can often give the wrong impression. Hanks is a great actor and this film looks great. Long live The King! ❤️❤️❤️
