What a beautiful heartfelt review. I am a mega ELVIS fan so your review has got me so excited but also ready for an emotional rollercoaster!!!!
❤️⚡️❤️
For sure… you will always get folks who like to be negative about ELVIS and Priscilla. Shame, especially as she’s still alive and can tell her story, and has and still loves him with all her heart! I think that should tell us all we need to know about there relationship!
Thanks again xxx
These are rather complicated matters...Many people say that Priscilla had to understand how Elvis was so she should have accepted both the good things and bad things. On this we all agree, love works like this, but I don't think it is very easy to accept behaviors of a certain type such as excesses or continuous betrayals only because our man or woman are Elvis! Priscilla married Elvis man and not Elvis legend. I am also a SUPER fan of Elvis, I became a fan when I was 10 years old and I am still a HUGE at 55, without ever having a flexion or rethinking so, for us, Elvis is untouchable, a superhero, a non being human, but in the daily life things are very different so I don't feel I can blame Priscilla as many do and I speak as a man! After all, they were, and they still are for Cilla, their business ...
This is so awesome to see/hear. My mom raised me with Elvis and I've been a huge fan since I could remember listening to music. Cannot wait for Thursday night!
Big fan of your channel mike!
Your comment is great and a joy to a not so young Elvis “fan”.
I too feel this movie will be the rehabilitation of Elvis. It will do him justice after years of caricature impersonations and Las Vegas weddings props. Elvis had become a cartoon like figure, a one dimential image.
His greatness and musical and cultural significance however is unmeassurable an goes back to 1954 when Elvis, Scotty and Bill made history. Blurring the strict line between, so called, black and white music he broke down the doors for scores of artists to follow. He set the benchmark. Nobody ever sang like that, moved liked that, stood like that, walked like that and talked like that. So outworldly liberal and loose.
Like a prince from another planet. He changed everything. He changed everything. His story has grown to almost biblical proportions and he could have start a new religion if had want to. And in a way he did.
😭😭😭😭sooooo fu...ng true
I'm super excited too for newer generations to realize not only how amazing his music was and him as a person but extremely excited to see how he really broke cultural and racial barriers musically and personally. The weight of that should hopefully shake down this whole crazy untrue racial narritive the media has been feeding & fueling over the last two years.
This movie should be a big win for everyone!!
What Top Gun Maverick did for resurrecting and or exposing true American values I believe this film will do the same. The timing couldn't be more perfect. And Austin Butler was born for this role!!
You hit it spot on for me. Still prossesing the film in my head after seeing it last night. What a amazing ride it was. Everything...costumes, cinamatograph, stunning. All the cast were great but Austin Butler embodies Elvis, he must win a Oscar for this. The music was spectacular of course. Just a great roller coster of a movie. It HAS to be seen on the big screen.
Beautiful review, thank you very much! Next Wednesday there will be the premiere in Italy, where I live. You seem very moved and almost shocked, along all your review...I think I’ll risk a heart attack next Wednesday...
I saw the movie twice already and it is very exciting to finally have an Elvis worthy film. 45 year's we had to wait for this.
The fresh take thru Parker's eyes was very clever. And yes Austin Butler has absolutely knocked it out of the park. I hope it will do very well and that it will create a big new wave of young fans. And Elvis Lass, I can't wait for your review of the film, as I always enjoy your take on thingd related to ELVIS.
Wow.. what a great review!! It's really affected you even though you're not invested in Elvis. Shows what a great job Austin has done!! Saturday for me cannot come soon enough!! X
Saturday is the day for me also! So excited!
I absolutely love Baz Lurhmann movies and when I knew Baz was the director of ELVIS immediately I thought we are going to see something fabulous and Wow! This movie exceeded my expectations. It’s been a long time I have felt so emotional, so captivated, so in love about the whole aspects of a movie and it’s actor. When I finished to see the movie for the very first time (I have seen the movie 12 times in the Cinema) I thought I was walking on air. I felt and still feel so emotional, fascinating for what I just saw every time. It really captured the humanity, his soul, the sadness, the tragic along with wonderful performances and moments of a great performer . What can I say about Austin Butler how a wonderful actor, so professional and talented who was immerse in body, spirit and soul of that beautiful and magnificent artist like Elvis Presley. We are going to have this on HBO Max, On DVD and about weeks ago in digital. I have not been the same since June 29, the first time I watched the movie and continue to see it, last Saturday was my recent view in the theater. Thanks for your emotional and beautiful review. It is one of the best reactions I have ever seen lately. 👏🏻
Can't wait to see movie Elvis love all people of All color DID not matter to HIM God MAKING ELVIS PRESLEY forever young long live the king He will never be forgotten 2022
Imagine how someone who grew up with Elvis fans my Grandma and Aunt imagine how i.will feel during the movie. I will bring kleenex for sure. Great review. Love love love that younger people are getting to know who Elvis was. Not just the caricature but the REAL Elvis
Thanks for the review was kinda 50/50 on how this portrayal would play out..love Elvis..but a little apprehensive on if this will work,uve ignited my hopes for this..I just want it to gain more younger fans,and for Elvis’ music to give them the joy it’s givin me for over 40yrs..tcb⚡️👍🤟
I was fortunate enough to actually see Elvis in concert 5 times. Chicago (1) in 1972, (1) October 1976 and (1) May 1977…. Las Vegas Hilton August 1974 (2), I remember being in the elevator numerous times with his Dad, Vernon at the Las Vegas Hilton. I’m going to see the movie Friday, June 24th. I hoping that the movie will be the best representation of Elvis to date, I believe it will be. Thank you so much for your review. I’m 64 now and it seems just like yesterday when the bulletin came across the TV. Take care!
WHAAAAATTTT 5 TIMES.......
Oh my god,you lucky boy
🎵👑🤟🎵🤟👑
i’m not really into elvis, moreso into austin butler LOL
but i wanted to comment on the thoughtfulness of your review. articulate, reflective, infused with humanity… wow. you’re not just repeating what happened, you’re actually reviewing it.
great, great job 👌🏾
Great review sister 🕺🕺🕺. I have tickets for this coming Thursday and Friday as well 🕺🕺🕺. Oh my boy!!! Hot damn 🕺🕺🕺
going too see the movie friday and i know i will be an emotional wreck after,just listening to your take on the movie brought a tear to my eye
Great reaction . I was acually looking forward to your review after seeing your utube stuff. So happy you liked it . As an elvis fan for 40 years I finally think after all the nonsence written about him we finally have a film that shows who Elvis was and the fans can be proud off.
Hopefully it brings new fans to Elvis . Now get yourself to Graceland .
Thank you so much! Absolutely putting a trip to Graceland on my list of places to visit.
All this anticipation is killing MEEEE! I'm actually having palpitations because of the excitement of the movie; not a nice feeling though at times. I've been constantly on yt, watching anything I can find on all the new vids generated from the movie. Well all this excitement has caused anxiety in me, hence the palpitations & headaches. Then, I'm also rewatching all the old vids, movies, documentaries, which I had seen throughout the last decade when I became obsessed with Elvis, researching everything I could find. It has become a major, Elvis craze! So by now I feel very exhausted because I obviously can't rest well & it's affecting my concentration, I feel light-headed & not sleeping very well. BUT I know I'll start to recover because I'm seeing the movie on the 23rd! Yayyyyy can't waitttt, (I hope I don't hyperventilate), & I'm also looking forward to a big calm down getting back to feeling normal again. I'll be watching the movie several times as well, ahah :) Wishing everyone, everywhere, a WONDERFUL & THRILLING experience of the movie, ELVIS! ⚡♥️⚡
I loved it, it's very emotional, it gives you many feelings, Austin Butler gave an incredible performance in each of his scenes, it gave me goosebumps..
My sister and I watched it with my mom. we got through the 1st half before mom needed a break. we will see the rest in a day or two. She has never seen a Baz Luhrman movie so it was a lot for her to take in. However, she was absolutely blown away by Austin's performance.
Oh and I have tks for 3 different days to see the movie. Starting Fri cannot WAIT
Awesome review! Thank you hun. I’m going to see it tomorrow night and hope I can hold back the tears. I was blessed to have attended Elvis’ last concert in Indianapolis. I love him even more now than I did then. God Bless You
Damn you have tears in your eyes I am shocked. In the first 90 seconds, I wasn't sure whether you were going to like it or not cuz the movie has got polarizing reviews after Cannes but even the critics who didn't like the film praised Austin. There are a lot of veteran actors coming up with some strong performances at the end of the year so the competition this year is much more cutthroat and tougher than it was in 2020 and 2021. If the film is a blockbuster hit...he stands a really strong chance at least a nomination.
I absolutely love this film! I never thought I would like it as much as I did. It has resonated and stayed with me ever since. I entered the film not an Elvis fan nor knowing who Butler was but left a huge fan of both! In fact I'm pretty obsessed with Elvis right now reading up everything about him, listening to his music, and watching his films!
Love this review!! Thank you!! I've been a Baz fan forever. I know he can handle this. And I've been watching interviews with Austin for months. I'm so excited for this!! Can't wait to see the cultural impact! I've also been blown away by the trailer responses from EVERY cultural background, it's hopefully gonna reunite us as Americans like Top Gun Maverick has! That's my hope especially since music brings us all together and more so because his music crossed so many genres. Bravo on the review!!
I totally agree with you. The movie does leave you kind of speechless but yet moved in a way that you can’t quite explain. That’s the magic of movies/music when it all works, Its like Elvis’s spirit embodied Austin and it was meant to be.
My mom is a BIG Elvis fan,my grandma was an Elvis fan,so they both introduced me to his music when I was a child. I always remember the anniversary of his passing cause it’s the before my birthday. Austin was all kinds of amazing,I knew who he was prior but those weren’t starring roles,I cannot wait to see more from him.
Love your reaction especially as you didn't know Elvis. I am a huge fan and took my daughter to see the movie and she had tears at the end
Why did I get all teary listening to your review? Because I was in the same state after the first time I saw this film, and have had the same emotional reaction on every viewing. Hearing you speak on Elvis fresh out of the theater brought me right back to those deep emotions I felt. Yours is the best review I've seen so far, and I've seen a lot of them. AFAIC this film, and especially Austin Butler, should win everything.
I actually had a FB friend describe Austin's performance as just "ok". I get that the movie wasn't her style, but Jesus, Austin WAS Elvis in mind, body and soul. 😳😤
I totally understand not liking the movie. Baz’s style is definitely not for everyone! But idk how you can see the movie and not be blown away by Austin.
The most generous and heart felt reaction besides that of his family.and thanks for not rating it.if you loved it that is all I need to know!
I 100% agree with all of your comments and reactions to this film and to Austin Butler! And definitely have a huge crush, as I'm sure most do, toward Austin!💗
I watched the film on Saturday and absolutely LOVED it! I was almost in tears at the very start when An American Trilogy played as that was my Mum’s favourite Elvis song so having that be one of the first you hear in the film really hit home for me. As far as the acting goes I can’t praise Austin Butler and Tom Hanks enough, they were incredible! This film was in my view an absolute cinematic triumph and it’s already introduced and will continue to introduce the late great Elvis Presley to a whole new generation of fans. His Truth Is Marching On ❤️
Will see it on Monday. Gutted but I have previous commitments
What was it like?!
Just saw the movie it was in my opinion the best movie about Elvis’s life , I thought the actor did a really good job portraying Elvis especially towards Elvis in late 60s and 70s,Las Vegas concerts secession was unbelievably well done. So sad what he had to go through to pay the price for fame,I just wished they would have done a bigger clip of his concert in Hawaii being my favorite concert from Elvis , besides that I will go see it again such a amazing well done movie
Goin Thursday evening 510 showing 3 days is to long still but im ready
Now this is the perfect review !!! We are along on the ride w Austin !! He is absolutely brilliant as Elvis ! He worked so many years to capture Elvis qualities & skills to perfection !!! I’m still upset w Oscar voters !!! What movie did they watch ??? Just awful how they not only snubbed Austin ( so deserving) but Mandy Walker, CM, & Baz & others !!! What were they thinking ? Can’t get better ! Thx u for this amazing review !!! ❤
Austin did a wonderful job especially given he had to shine brighter than the narcissism of baz luhrmann.
This movie gave me chills the entire time, such an incredible movie, one of the best, if not, the best movie I've seen!
Wow you liked this better than top gun maverick and everything everywhere all at once??? That's a tall claim!
@@nikitamohanan2124 yep! meets a very tall order, gave me chills almost the entire movie, I can't think of any other movie that did that
@@cclovesdaisy I mean I liked Austin's performances and all the concert scenes were top notch but Bahz's rocket speed direction and frantic chaotic editing along with Tom's caricaturish performance was very distracting.
Grateful to elvis, the pioneer of bridging the unfathomable gap between blacks and whites thru music and being friends with them-blacks being gravely isolated and discriminated in that era
Great review with all different points of view. Seeing it today 24th & the 25th because I had to reserve tickets for both. If I love it I will watch it next week on the CD screen as an extra treat because I’ll have enough points by going to the first two times with my family.
Just got my tickets!! Going to see it Thursday in Dolby!!
He became ELVIS OMG LOVED IT BAZ REALLY HONERED THE KING AUSTIN CAN YOU SAY OSCAR
Oh my god,i think i Don,t watch it
I WILL NEVER CRY in a CINEMA.
But that’s what the theater experience is all about, raw emotions and excitement, loud in your face awesomeness!
I think what has happened to you is that you have fallen in love with Elvis....go down that rabbit hole and search UA-cam for hundreds of videos of his songs, live performances, history and personal facts about him; you will never regret it.....I saw him in live concert 3 times in the 1970's: in Houston & Austin Texas and then in Vegas...electric...exhilerating, thrilling atmosphere and performances....he was God's gift to us and there will never be anyone quite like him; so don't miss discovering the real Elvis...he recorded over 800 songs and was only person inducted into 5 Halls of Fame...Have fun....live and learn..
I loved the movie and agreed with all of your review. As an Elvis fan, I'm curious if it made you want to seek out more of his music, and/or film footage that shows you more of the real Elvis? The 68 Comeback Special and That's he Way It Is are great starts for both. I hope this movie ignites public interest with younger film-goers and a better understanding of the great man - and who the villain of the story was.
Thanks so much! It definitely sparked my curiosity- more than I’ve ever had before. I appreciate the suggestions of places to start, I will definitely look into those.
What was your favorite scene in the film?
Ooh I have quite a few, but the first one that comes to mind is the Vegas rehearsal when he’s working with the orchestra!
@@FinelyTaylored do you know that scene was improvised by Austin. Magnificent! One of my favorite scenes too.
I have just seen this film about Elvis Presley I think it should be shown as part one part two and part three it ran through his life too fast, there is at lot more to his life than was shown at the pictures it was a very good film just the same.
Good review. HBO made a good two part documentary called Elvis: The Searcher you might also like 💁♂️
Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll have to check it out
@@FinelyTaylored Cool 👍
