You're so wrong about Bruce......Elvis fans love hearing what other stars feel\felt about Elvis, how he affected their lives etc and nobody else is bigger than Bruce!......what I could do without are Priscilla's and Jerry's contributions.
Absolutely love hearing what all the "big names" had to say about Elvis. It says a lot about how people felt about him & what they thought about him as a person & as an entertainer & is very interesting. There is even a lengthy video of many famous people expressing their views (words on screen only), one of whom was Pres. Jimmy Carter.
Just watched saw it as a young kid Love it then Love it even more today What a Beautiful electrifying Person & entertainer ! I've always loved him! King he was King he will continue to always be ! Man with a heart of gold not what we have in today's world Elvis Presley will all ways be Loved respected & Remember 🙏
It s the Fall and Rise of ELVIS PRESLEY, not the rise and fall...be carefull OF what you re saying....Never put down THE KING.....R. E S P E C T ..for the GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME.....
David here I’ve been out Elvis and Beatles fan for over 50 years. I thought they did a great job on the movie however I thought they were a bit harsh on the Elvis movies everyone forgets he was making three movies a year. Nobody else has done that so they’re not going to be perfect but for the fans that didn’t get to see him in person the next thing to get to see him sing and dance I enjoyed hearing from the different celebrities what Elvis meant to them, I never did understand why the army would not let Elvis perform for the troops that seemed like this opportunity to make so many soldiers happy I think it was political, but no one has said that. I was a little disappointed with Priscilla when she criticize Elvis singing the Children song it showed that he could sing anything and make it entertaining, plus some of the best moments and his movies are with children. I am getting tired of people criticizing Priscilla in general. It was not an easy life to be married to Elvis much harder than it looks. I’m also getting tired of people complaining about the colonel yes, he did take advantage advantage and yes, he did. Keep Elvis back creatively, but he did make him a star hard to say how long it would’ve taken if the colonel hadn’t come along, I think the movie itself is a nice introduction to Elvis for younger people. I just hope they watched the original movies and don’t rely on imitators to know his real story overall, I would give the movie in A - it was impossible to put Elvis‘s entire career in the amount of time that this movie was I just hope the younger people see his movies and concerts on film 😊
It's been reported that Colonel Parker refused to let Elvis perform while in the army. Supposedly didn't want Elvis to perform what would essentially be for free. There's been different reports about Elvis' thoughts about it, but since he didn't go through the special treatment route in the army as a performer and went through like any other soldier it seems to have earned him more respect going that way. Went through basic training, did KP, late night guard duty, etc. like every other regular soldier.
This new Netflix documentary is fantastic. Its so much better than the one Steve Binder released last year. Its like night and day. Sure, there are some inaccuracies. But show me one doc or book where are none. I noticed today in social media (Facebook, etc) that there is a lot of criticism, especially in the Elvis fan bubble. Similar to when the Elvis movie 2022 came out. This negative and often arrogant behavior is incomprehensible to me. Too much 'smart-ass-cricketing' out there. Not my world. Big thanks to the production team of this great documentary. (even if you should know that Elvis played over 1000 concerts after his return to the stage from 1969-1977...) Anyway, this Netflix production will bring many new people, young and old, to Elvis. And that's the name of that tune! TCB ⚡
Hi Justin, thanks for the video. I watched it last night, and my view is that Elvis is messed around a bit here. This documentary on Netflix is a rip off of last year's released Reinventing Elvis The '68 Comeback directed by John Scheinfeld . It has already been done well and no need for another especially when the narration and a lot of the interviews in this Netflix are done by wannabes like Luhrmann, Conan and others. These two talking to you as if they were there and knew Elvis from the get go, absolutely ridiculous. A few glimpses of Elvis were new and exciting but overall I thought Jason Hehir botched it by allowing poor editing as if prioritizing the people who were being interviewed rather than who the film was all about.
How are you so wrong? "Fall and Rise" not the Rise and Fall. I lived it I was 12 years old in 1956 and saw Elvis on TV. He was an instant success With teens, but a adults tried to ban him, preachers said he was the devil. he was poor and born in a black neighborhood but loved black gospel. In the 50's segregation stopped white stations from playing black music, he was literally the bridge making black music mainstream. The movie years did hurt his career but never stopped his fame and his ability to sell more records than any single artist in history. He recorded over 700 songs. This document was a mishmash of clips I've seen all my life. His Vegas years were fantastic, breaking every attendance record there was. Please watch some real history. "Elvis Presley and the Black Community" "Elvis Presley King of Kindness". Watch him in Vegas 1970 " Suspicious Minds". Get some real facts and get the xwife out of everything. Thanks
I think the title is wrong Justin return of the king Elvis never went anywhere Elvis still had hits before the comeback special how about the album Elvis is back and the gospel albums His Hand in mine and How Great Thou Art
Hello from Brazil amazing but here in Brazil during 1967 and 1969 no elvis records coming here just in 1970 with suspicious minds and from Elvis in Memphis arrived here albums like how great thou art and tv special coming here just in 1992
Wow. For real? And what about the '50s and early '60s? I asked the question because i read a few weeks ago that Roberto Carlos is a fan of Elvis since the '50s and that Elvis remains one of his influences to become a singer too. So I assume they were getting Elvis records in the '50s.
In Baz Luhrmann's Elvis, Chris Hemsworth doesn't exactly appear as the God of Thunder from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but if you're looking for a flash of Thor's larger-than-life energy, you won’t be disappointed. While Hemsworth doesn’t physically play Elvis Presley, his performance as the larger-than-life Colonel Tom Parker is full of charisma, eccentricity, and a kind of explosive energy that echoes his portrayal of Thor in the MCU. Parker, the manipulative manager of Elvis, is a far cry from the heroically heroic Thor, but Hemsworth brings a magnetic presence to the role. He seems to channel a certain bombastic quality from Thor, but instead of wielding a hammer, he commands with words, always working an angle. His exaggerated performance and sometimes over-the-top delivery can feel a bit reminiscent of the theatrical flair Hemsworth often uses as Thor-especially when Parker is seen trying to maintain control over Elvis' life and career. In Elvis, Hemsworth's portrayal of Parker is anything but subtle-he’s an outsized figure who captures the manipulative, often shady nature of the character. The performance is captivating, entertaining, and at times comically villainous, echoing the same kind of playful arrogance Hemsworth brings to Thor, albeit in a very different context. It’s not the quiet or subdued performance one might expect from a biographical role, but it's certainly memorable. Ultimately, Hemsworth’s turn as Colonel Tom Parker in Elvis shows a different side of his acting range. If you're a fan of his Thor persona, you’ll recognize the charismatic charm, but here, it’s channeled into a more sinister and comedic form, giving the film a dynamic and unique energy that complements the larger-than-life story of Elvis Presley.
Chris Hemsworth's portrayal of the manipulative and eccentric manager, Colonel Tom Parker, in Elvis (2022) was a bold and unexpected departure from the action-hero roles he's best known for, showcasing his range as an actor. Directed by Baz Luhrmann, the film's vibrant, larger-than-life style matches Hemsworth's larger-than-life take on Parker, who is presented as both a charming showman and a ruthless businessman who takes advantage of Elvis Presley (played by Austin Butler) to cement his own place in history. Hemsworth's performance is characterized by a mix of theatricality, charisma, and a hint of menace. He plays Parker as a smooth-talking schemer, always with an eye on making a profit, even at the expense of Elvis' personal life and artistic freedom. The role requires a great deal of exaggeration to match the film's frenetic energy, and Hemsworth commits to it fully, blending humor and cruelty in a way that makes Parker both entertaining and infuriating. Critics were divided on how Hemsworth's performance fit within the context of the film's otherwise hyper-stylized narrative. Some felt that his portrayal, with its cartoonish qualities and heavy accent, could be over-the-top, while others appreciated his willingness to dive into such a complex and morally ambiguous character. Regardless, his turn as Parker was certainly a highlight of the film, adding a layer of unpredictability to the story. Ultimately, Hemsworth's turn as Tom Parker might not be remembered for subtlety, but for its audacity and energy, contributing significantly to the film's sense of spectacle. It marks a star-making turn in a different kind of role, showing that Hemsworth has the chops to inhabit a broad spectrum of characters, far beyond his heroic image.
You're so wrong about Bruce......Elvis fans love hearing what other stars feel\felt about Elvis, how he affected their lives etc and nobody else is bigger than Bruce!......what I could do without are Priscilla's and Jerry's contributions.
100% on all those points ❤

Priscilla enjoyed the money from the films Elvis made that she slated.
Just watched saw it as a young kid Love it then Love it even more today What a Beautiful electrifying Person & entertainer ! I've always loved him! King he was King he will continue to always be ! Man with a heart of gold not what we have in today's world Elvis Presley will all ways be Loved respected & Remember 🙏

Just a mistake on the title. Nothing more than that
The word Fall does not go with Elvis
I watched it 4 times and planning on watching it again, I thought it was good: but all the old fans knew it all
"Fall and Rise" Justin, you had the title in reverse in your narrative!
I know :( I realized that after I filmed and edited it
