Man, big props to the women in this scene. There's some subtlety to their reactions here! They don't freak out immediately - they get infatuated with him, they're puzzled about it at first, but eventually they completely give in. Like Tom Parker said, "they were having feelings they were not sure they should enjoy"!
More proof that women are driven with feelings and emotions. More proof also that women don't need to be taken out on dates (especially today) in order to sleep with you. Make her feel a certain way, and even if she barely knows you, she'll open up her legs to you. Even in the 1950's anyone of those women would have slept with Elvis just for being himself without even really knowing him. But, because he made them feel a certain way and was of high status, they would have spread their legs to him without question.
@@MarineVeteran99 what a dumb reply. Are women not allowed to show desire or attraction towards a celebrity? Men do it all the time with famous actresses and other female celebrities. I can guarantee that despite your dumb 'moral' posturing you would jump at the chance to sleep with a hot actress/singer, as would many men (which is not an issue in and of itself). You're being a hypocrite.
My neighbor told me she and her sister went to see him when he just got back from Germany. It was a presentation where he sang in his uniform. Now her grandchildren took her to see ELVIS and it was very emotional for her♥️ She says all that screaming in the movie is what she experienced back then ♥️👏♥️👏

They never touched on in the movie if the doctor that was shooting Elvis up with all these drugs ever went to prison but I'm assuming he did. But. I don't think nothing could've stopped Elvis from putting the love of the crowd above his family. That I believe was on him. Stars especially young ones from small beginnings like Elvis have a nasty habit of getting drunk on it to the point where they push everything aside. But I also blame his father for not stepping up. Bc everything fell apart once Mrs. Presley died. His cousin tried his best to get between Elvis and the Colonel but unfortunately it wasn't enough... I just wish Elvis took his wife's offer to go to rehab. We could've seen Elvis in his golden years. And maybe if he did it would've been one of the greatest comebacks and recovery stories since RDJ with his drug problem too. Maybe even been an inspiration "If Elvis can bounce back, so can I"
Imagine being in the 50's when everything is pious and religious... what they see as risqué back then is at a different level then today. Then all of a sudden he comes along. 😅😆 Parents hated elvis and the Beatles too for being risqué and inappropriate.
Makes me realise how nothing really changes. I thought the hero worship of modern singers was getting gmout of hand with all the screaming and hysteria but they react to Harry Styles today exactly as they reacted to Elvis back then.
2:34 For all the guys who were looking annoyed by him there was still at least one guy looking up at him with hero-worship alongside all the girls at the front of the stage
its hard to see, but there seemed to be a couple other guys on the other side of the crowd in front of the stage. One of them even wearing a cowboy hat, ha
He had plenty of male fans, for his music or otherwise. It’s hard for us to understand the impact he had on the music scene. It’s similar to me with the grunge movement, which changed my listening habits forever. Modern music hasn’t had such a dramatic shift like that in a really long time. Younger generations have been robbed of hearing something really new and innovative sadly. At least so far.
@@leinonibishop9480 every male fan of Elvis wanted to pick up a guitar and play music so they could be rockstars just like him, like for example all the rock bands from Britain therefore starting the British Invasion.
@@scifinerd17 i mean you could say that about his female fans too. out of all his fans some wanted to be him and some wanted to do him. what's your point?
My mom saw Elvis live when he was just getting famous. Watching this video is like hearing my mother telling me that story again. This scene is pretty much how she described it. She said she had never felt that type of energy ever before, like she could’ve control herself. Elvis was a bad bad dude 😂
@@mr.onomatopoeia523Elvis’s music is very tame to us nowadays and the modern music mixed in gives it a bit more edge and helps show how punk, and totally new and unexpected Elvis was at the time. It adds a lot of punch to the scene.
Props to the actress who appears at 3:16, one of the "scream queens." Her name is Vanessa Everett, and she should get an Oscar for that scene alone. (They need a category for bit parts.) Never seen anything like that in film. The conflict, the emotion... wow.
@nathanael davenport I totally agree with you. Never before the background actors caught my attention this much. They were great . And to think that on top of everything, this movie was produce in the middle of the pandemic! Bravo to all!!!
I don't think people genuinely understand how critical this scene in the film was. It shows the relaxing of extremely conservative longstanding social norms at the time and gave birth to the counter-culture movement that dominated America for the next 25 years. This man literally drove women mad with lust, love and infatuation... I've never seen an actor better portray a famous late musician which such ease and perfection with the exception of Jamie Foxx playing Ray Charles in "Ray". The dad said it best in response to Elvis' mom's worries... "Hurt him?? Looks like they wanna FFF-." 🤣😂🤣 I busted out laughing in the theater when that scene happened because he was absolutely right. Elvis was every woman's dream back then... RIP King.
It is something odd about women that I've noticed at every concert I've been too even now, they all fawn over the performer and yell out a lot more, maybe with the exception of metal concerts. As for this time period, I think it had more to do with them not having any real outlet to let loose socially in a way that boys and men did, I don't think it was a "mad with lust" thing. Also worth noting that it wasn't every woman screaming
@@maplelafe7671the rap and other modern music mixed in helps bring a better understanding to modern listeners of how cutting edge Elvis was. We think of his music as timeless classics or oldies but to the people in this time period hearing him for the first time he was a radical punk. There’s no way for us to truly understand what it was like but the raw modern music adds some punch to the mix and makes it more relatable for younger audiences.
@@leinonibishop9480 lmao a terrible decision to try and cater to a younger audience. A decision that will not age well. Then again, who would want anyone to know about this pile of dogshit? It's better to let everyone forget about this joke of a movie.
This is absolutely one of the best scenes ever. The screams and the start of one of the greatest artist of all time. Imagine what it must of been like to see it.
Chase, mate, this never happened at the Louisiana Hayride. However, all of Elvis Presley's' concerts had women lose their minds with lust for Elvis, which he shrugged off as part of the music business.
It really isn’t too exaggerated. Think about this for a second. There was never anyone else that did those “raunchy” moves on stage. The people that really were on that stage on his first performance were the first to witness anything of the kind.
It ain't exaggerated dude... They literally wanted to rip his clothes off like they do towards the end of this scene. My grandmother went and saw him live in his early days against her father's orders and said it's one of the greatest things she had ever seen in her life.
My daughter is 23 and we watched this movie then 2 weeks later she ask me if we could watch it again and we did…same thing 2 weeks later and I said to myself…the man has been dead 40 years and still driving women crazy!!!

Black Americans are literally the blueprint for modern day music! I’m glad they showed our influence on elvis in regards to his dancing and musical style. Nonetheless, it really saddens me how misinformed a lot of you’re pertaining to black Americans and our countless musical contributions, we created every relevant music genre in MODERN DAY HISTORY. There isn’t anything original about Elvis when his legacy is filled with thievery, most of his best songs were stolen from or written by black people. Otis Blackwell wrote songs for Elvis and when he recorded them, it sounded just like Otis demo records.

As of 12/22/22 I’ve seen ELVIS 12 times in theatres and countless times at home on HBO…Baz Luhrmann deserves an Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture, and OBVIOUSLY Austin deserves a cataract of Awards ( Golden Globe, Oscar, SagAftra, etc etc etc) ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ok but it is so cute that the girl brought the other girl up front with her at 2:17. Like they were just both so excited and wanted to share it with each other. It reminds me of when a little kid pulls your hand to share you something that they made. So cute!
The real video of that Hayride appearance, that is my favorite, at his nervous, sweet, naive and wildly talented best, so young!!! Before fame had done things to him. ❤️❤️
I grew up seeing the tired Vegas elvis -but hearing about his original music. This movie was an incredible experience for my daughters and I. We relived the original hype.
I love when Parker says “In that moment, in a flash of lightning, I watched that skinny boy in the pink suit transform into a superhero” because a flash of lightning is what turns Billy Batson (a 14yo) into Shazam (then Captain Marvel).
Baz Luhrmann has an interesting style of film making. Oversaturated colors, exaggeration, and mix of music styles bordering on surrealism. Not everyone will like it but it gets the point, and the emotion, across. If you go into this movie expecting complete historical fact and realism you will be confused.
@@maplelafe7671 The rap music is there to make a connection with a younger audience and to make the music scene of Beale street more relatable to younger people. Elvis wasn’t just some old guy in Vegas your grandparents liked. He was a young raw punk musician on the cutting edge of new styles of music. I think the modern music was a great way to add some edginess back in and give us a better feeling of what that time period would’ve been to our modern sensibilities. Like I said, if you were expecting historical fact and realism you will be confused. Chalk yourself up as someone that doesn’t like it, or doesn’t get it and have a nice day.
3;06 From what I can tell it's not just a case of "looks like they want to -", it's the fact that he seemed to make them aware that it was possible that they could actually want to '-' someone
Not only that, but members of Elvis's own family endorsed the film and gave it their blessing. Austin Butler obviously knew what he was doing. Lisa Presley herself actually said that Austin was the spitting image of her father. Think about that for a while. Peace out!!!
This needs context. So everyone in this room would of grown up listening to either classical or crooners. Probably was a child during the war. Music was boring and stifling. Then this guy comes along and changes everything. No one had ever listened to music like that before
There's also the fact that, at least in white music, those type of moves were unheard of. "Proper" singing was done standing still, and "proper" music tended to be gentle & slow-paced - and then here came Elvis with a musical and performing style that he picked up from growing up in a poor black neighborhood, attending a black church with his black friends. That culture left its mark on him, and he boldly showed it proudly to the white mainstream in a way that nobody else had before. And that, sadly, was where much of the backlash stemmed from. To quote a real person filmed speaking about it back then, who was pretty damn candid about it, "The obscenity and vulgarity of the rock and roll music is obviously a means by which the white man and his children can be driven to the level with the n***. It is obviously n*** music." Elvis maintained that he didn't do anything wrong.
Not so much repression as it was something they'd literally never experienced before. Watching Elvis dance for them was a second sexual awakening on a scale far more intense than whatever puberty naturally brought about.
Bro, I NEED “Spectators” (the style of shoe he’s wearing) to make a massive comeback. I’ve got to find a pair, but it’s so hard to find quality spectators in this day and age so full of basketball shoes, and outdoor walking/running shoes.
Elvis (pelvis) Presley, Michael Jackson, and Michael Jordan don't come around once in a lifetime, they only come around once period. There will never be phenoms like these men that will ever come around again period, end of story!
The movie actually SOMEHOW put THE WRONG SONG IN IT. In reality, Elvis’ performance in the Louisiana hayride were his first hit songs “It’s All Right” and “Blue Moon” from one of his 1953 Sun Records releases. They clearly listened to the recording of the show (which can be found on TH-cam) because they got the intro pretty good, but HOW HARD IS IT TO GET THE SONG RIGHT? They also kinda over exaggerated the scene because in the actual audio of the performance there are only a few times where the crowd actually freaks out over Elvis, and he never had to be pulled offstage because they still had time to close the show in the recording.
My friend's grandma was among the lucky ones who attended one of his early live performances, and she confirmed this is at least 80% accurate. All the girls would go wild when he was on stage.

Girls: (screaming more)🤯🤩😍
Boyfriends in the audience:😡🤬
Me:😂😂😂
I have watched this scene so many times!!!
Who wouldn't? Who wouldn't want to watch Austin move "wiggle"?
Wow 😳. 🌹🥰
Good Lord don't let 'em hurt my baby. You are trying to kill my son. Poor Mama.
When Elvis's mother died, he felt like he lost everything. She was a great inspiration.
All the other girls were soaking wet watching this but the woman at 2:44 was straight up Niagara Falls!! 😂 HHHHHOOOOOOOOGGGGHHHHH!!
She couldn't hold it that's longer she was trying to be mature but couldn't hold 😢
Got to go see that movie. It looks great. The actor is fantastic. He did Elvis proud.
I laughed so much at how crazy the women went 😂
You have to bear in mind how repressed women were in that era..
The Film Editor should get the rise....he really got us off the feet 2:25 with those cut to cut shots, and the guitar solo waging inn, and the perfomance of this dude...nailed it
The humidity in that room must have gone thru the roof
Bro, my man literally is the first idol ever, the king of rock, Elvis.
Elvis is the GOAT HE is a fockin LEGEND@
ladies are thirsty af😂
It’s actually ridiculous 😂😂😂
@@lukekiely2450 💯🙌
An older woman I talked to once said that girls literally pissed themselves from excitement at his concerts. I wish she was joking.
That's what electric amplifiers did in the earliest days. Way before Jimi Hendrix and Tony Iommi.
Hell yeah
As of 12/22/22 I’ve seen ELVIS 12 times in theatres and countless times at home on HBO…Baz Luhrmann deserves an Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture, and OBVIOUSLY Austin deserves a cataract of Awards ( Golden Globe, Oscar, SagAftra, etc etc etc) ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏
Get help
I’m sorry but everyone screaming randomly was hilarious 😂
Ok but it is so cute that the girl brought the other girl up front with her at 2:17. Like they were just both so excited and wanted to share it with each other. It reminds me of when a little kid pulls your hand to share you something that they made. So cute!
What's her name?
Love how they make Tom Hanks extra...🥸🤥
The moment a human man in history unlocked sheer sexual power
I gotta respect how he pulls power by just dancing like that
RIP Lisa Marie Presley
This scene and “if i can dream” scene were the best scenes in the movie.
Elvis was an animal 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Каким же?
@Steven Burnett * Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
2:43 My favourite part 😂
😂 she couldn't control her
Never see his kind again he truly was a prince from another planet
😂😂...."What they hollerin at?"....😂😂
The real video of that Hayride appearance, that is my favorite, at his nervous, sweet, naive and wildly talented best, so young!!! Before fame had done things to him. ❤️❤️
“Hurt him?” They look like they wanna - “ 😂
The people who were there saw the world change that night.
I grew up seeing the tired Vegas elvis -but hearing about his original music. This movie was an incredible experience for my daughters and I. We relived the original hype.
I love when Parker says “In that moment, in a flash of lightning, I watched that skinny boy in the pink suit transform into a superhero” because a flash of lightning is what turns Billy Batson (a 14yo) into Shazam (then Captain Marvel).
One of the original Mr. Steal-yo-girl.
One of my favorite scenes in any music biopic tbh.
“What in gods sweet name am I looking at?” What he was witnessing is the king taking his throne.
I'm so glad Austin won Golden GLOBE for this movie
He also won five other awards (google them) including the European version of the Academy Awards.
@@twilightblue8566 he was so so close to win the Oscar, if was not Brendan Fresar with "The Whale"
And he really should've won the Oscar as well.
LOL at everyone calling out a Baz Luhrmann movie for being over exaggerated and inaccurate. I mean…have you SEEN a Baz Luhrmann movie?
Right? And there is early video footage and audio of Elvis’ performances here on TH-cam. The craziness was real.
Elvis the King of Rock n Roll. The legend. The one n only
most favorite part of the whole movie....See the difference between other artists in that era and how they performed (Elvis '56)
I don't think the young ladies in this scene were acting 😂
He was submerged in the character so much he became Elvis long enough to make the film.
This is the exactly that scene in Dewey Cox where every single girl in the audience immediately goes insane for him 😂😂
love this movie rewatched and austin butler did a incredible job
"Please, Lord don't let them hurt my baby. Hurt him? Looks like they wanna "****" him."
Dad knew HAHAHA
Jesus, that accent Hanks is doing really is horrific
Elvis in his mind "I'm sexy and I know it" *wiggle *wiggle *wiggle
Ms. Gladys was not playing with those girls about her son lol.. 3:58
Baz Luhrmann has an interesting style of film making. Oversaturated colors, exaggeration, and mix of music styles bordering on surrealism. Not everyone will like it but it gets the point, and the emotion, across. If you go into this movie expecting complete historical fact and realism you will be confused.
Pffffttt i hear Rap parts in the movie??
Thats total b.s !!!
Rap has nothing to do with this Era and style .
@@maplelafe7671 The rap music is there to make a connection with a younger audience and to make the music scene of Beale street more relatable to younger people. Elvis wasn’t just some old guy in Vegas your grandparents liked. He was a young raw punk musician on the cutting edge of new styles of music. I think the modern music was a great way to add some edginess back in and give us a better feeling of what that time period would’ve been to our modern sensibilities.
Like I said, if you were expecting historical fact and realism you will be confused. Chalk yourself up as someone that doesn’t like it, or doesn’t get it and have a nice day.
Elvis just move with Music Man was very Great Moves just out standing
dam elvis u had it going on like that
3;06 From what I can tell it's not just a case of "looks like they want to -", it's the fact that he seemed to make them aware that it was possible that they could actually want to '-' someone
LOL the guy who's going next on stage is probably thinking to himself f********k
That's How Elvis Presley Became a Rock and Roll Superstar... I've watched this movie so many times and Austin Butler did a great in that movie
Not only that, but members of Elvis's own family endorsed the film and gave it their blessing.
Austin Butler obviously knew what he was doing.
Lisa Presley herself actually said that Austin was the spitting image of her father.
Think about that for a while.
Peace out!!!
2:25
Surely he is still a king.
Damn right they didn't call him the king for nothing
damn, our grandmas was crazy 🤣
This needs context. So everyone in this room would of grown up listening to either classical or crooners. Probably was a child during the war. Music was boring and stifling. Then this guy comes along and changes everything. No one had ever listened to music like that before
Good lord did this scene capture the moment!
austin rocked the heck outta this role. Elvis would be proud. RIP
Poor custodians who had to mop that night😢
Hope they had plenty of disinfectant 🥴
They're was probably cream all over that floor lol
Imagine the sexual repression and frustration women of this time felt to have had this reaction. Lolz
Hahaha 👌
There's also the fact that, at least in white music, those type of moves were unheard of. "Proper" singing was done standing still, and "proper" music tended to be gentle & slow-paced - and then here came Elvis with a musical and performing style that he picked up from growing up in a poor black neighborhood, attending a black church with his black friends. That culture left its mark on him, and he boldly showed it proudly to the white mainstream in a way that nobody else had before.
And that, sadly, was where much of the backlash stemmed from. To quote a real person filmed speaking about it back then, who was pretty damn candid about it, "The obscenity and vulgarity of the rock and roll music is obviously a means by which the white man and his children can be driven to the level with the n***. It is obviously n*** music." Elvis maintained that he didn't do anything wrong.
Not so much repression as it was something they'd literally never experienced before. Watching Elvis dance for them was a second sexual awakening on a scale far more intense than whatever puberty naturally brought about.
Fact: Elvis was born with a twin brother who passed away at birth, thereby altering rock and roll in unimaginable ways.
Bro, I NEED “Spectators” (the style of shoe he’s wearing) to make a massive comeback.
I’ve got to find a pair, but it’s so hard to find quality spectators in this day and age so full of basketball shoes, and outdoor walking/running shoes.
Tom Hanks practically did a Fat Bastard impersonation in his role, 😂
Зрители в диком восторге., девочонки чуть ли не в обмороке .У нас такого даже на концертах Магомаева не было
Elvis (pelvis) Presley, Michael Jackson, and Michael Jordan don't come around once in a lifetime, they only come around once period.
There will never be phenoms like these men that will ever come around again period, end of story!
Jordan is not on their level
RIP Lisa Marie Presley.
The movie actually SOMEHOW put THE WRONG SONG IN IT. In reality, Elvis’ performance in the Louisiana hayride were his first hit songs “It’s All Right” and “Blue Moon” from one of his 1953 Sun Records releases. They clearly listened to the recording of the show (which can be found on TH-cam) because they got the intro pretty good, but HOW HARD IS IT TO GET THE SONG RIGHT?
They also kinda over exaggerated the scene because in the actual audio of the performance there are only a few times where the crowd actually freaks out over Elvis, and he never had to be pulled offstage because they still had time to close the show in the recording.
