    About Elvis:
    Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” explores the life and music of Elvis Presley (Austin Butler), seen through the​ prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks). The story delves into the complex dynamic between Presley and Parker spanning over 20 years, from Presley’s rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America. Central to that journey is one of the most significant and influential people in Elvis’s life, Priscilla Presley (Olivia DeJonge).

    I believe that this was an absolutely beautiful song not only did Elvis do it to honor Martin Luther King but I'm pretty sure he's honored so many future Generations who should appreciate all the sacrifices that we have made. We need this song to be played now with all that's going on because we're forgetting what so many people have done how much sacrifice they made to ensure that we live

      Baz Luhrmann's movies are always a visual feast. I feel like there aren't enough directors like him working in Hollywood these days, those with a kind of singular vision and distinctive style. Obviously there are some like Denis Villeneuve and Paul Thomas Anderson, but most such directors are those remaining from Hollywood's artistic peak in the 70s, like Scorsese.
      (Obviously outside of Hollywood it's a different story, and Hollywood certainly ain't the be-all and end-all of cinema)

    In real life, this performance was even more powerful than we all know: that's the great Wrecking Crew backing up Elvis on the rhythm track with Hal Blaine on drums. They had to cut and replay the take a couple of times because Elvis was delivering such a powerful performance some of the musicians were breaking down crying as he was singing. These were some of the world's best professional, highly skilled, highly trained musicians so deeply moved by him that they had to restart a few times!

    You cut out the best part when Col. Parker comes in all proud boasting about the Christmas set, and then they cut to the second stage where Elvis actually is! That reveal makes the scene so triumphant and powerful, Elvis finally getting the upper hand in his continual war with Parker, and delivering not only one of his best performances in his entire career, but an extremely resonant message to a nation “troubled with pain.” No matter… Still a great clip, thank you for sharing it.

      After Elvis Presley died on August 16, 1977, the African American newspaper, the Chicago Defender explained that: “When Elvis Presley breathed his last breath and the press hailed him as the ‘King of Rock,’ Ol’ Man River cried out, ‘Naw he ain’t! My friend Chuck Berry is the King of Rock. Presley was merely a Prince who profited from the royal talent of a sovereign ruler vested with tremendous creativity. Had Berry been white, he could have rightly taken [Presley’s] throne and worn his crown well.’”

    My dad is a huge fan of Elvis so growing up I listened to all his music, watched all the concert videos, watched the movies, and listened to interviews. I knew the backstory and how tragic his last years were, but the way this movie framed it just finally broke me.
    I don’t remember the exact line but in the movie Elvis said something along the lines of his life not meaning anything and he feared being forgotten. Like man, if he only knew.
    If he really thought that, that breaks my heart. It seemed like he had so much more to give, but he never got that chance.
