    From Oscar-nominated visionary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ drama “Elvis,” starring Austin Butler and Oscar winner Tom Hanks.
    The film explores the life and music of Elvis Presley (Butler), seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (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).

    Elvis was a Tupelo, Mississippi boy. His childhood friends were African Americans from the neighbourhood. They adored Elvis. Later moved to Memphis. And Tupelo is John Lee Hooker land, Elvis's dear friend too. He is the most misunderstood guy. Cheers. 👍

    The great legends of his era BB King - Jackie Wilson - James Brown were there to witness Elvis‘ creativity. He was a one-of-a-kind super talent that grew up in the black community during the great depression and segregation in the deep South. His support for the civil rights movement is not known by the greater population in America. This movie is going to examine this part. This is why almost all black musicians from that era absolutely loved Elvis because he was able to take that Memphis sound all around the country and then the world. Little Richard credited Elvis Presley multiple times for opening up the door for black music and creating a path that he could travel and so he could make his mark. Clearly a terribly racist time Elvis put poverty and racial socialization on his platform. But he did it all through Music and his behind the scenes actions alone. He never got political I think that’s what actually made him so powerful and able to succeed.
    BB KING: 'Let me tell you the definitive truth about Elvis Presley and racism', The King of the Blues, B.B. King said in 2010. 'With Elvis, there was not a single drop of racism in that man. And when I say that, believe me I should know'. -- BB KING
    JAMES BROWN: “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 (During Elvis' private family wake, James was the LAST ONE TO LEAVE. 1 hour and 30 minutes later -- it took several of his security guards to help him out of the room. James was devastated -- they sang Gospel together to all hours of the night at each others' homes. James Brown was considered family by the Presley they were so close.)
    JACKIE WILSON: "A lot of people have accused Elvis of stealing the black man's music, when in fact, almost every black solo entertainer copied from Elvis." --- JACKIE WILSON (Elvis quietly paid for Jackie's medical expenses until the day he passed away in 1977. Before Jackie's stage accident he would carry a small signed photo of Elvis in his pants pocket. Every day, bar none.)

    There was no "secret life" connected to his TCB logo. The "TCB" part stood for "Taking Care of Business" and the lightning bolt stood for "in a flash" or in a hurry. Also, the lightning bolt was symbolic of Captain Marvel comics that Elvis read and admired as a child, and Captain Marvel had a lightning bolt on his chest. Priscilla may have designed it. Elvis had gold necklaces made for the men in his entourage, and gave the wives and girlfriends "TLC" necklaces which stood for "Tender Loving Care". Again, there was no secret society or secret life involved at all. Just a motto he liked to go by. The logo was even emblazoned on his private plane, the Lisa Marie, named after his daughter.

    Mr BB King:
    'Before Elvis we had Little Black Sambo, separate black restrooms and water fountains, and colored events that kept us away from the whites', BB King noted as he mention that Presley would attend events especially designated just for African-Americans. In June 1956, Presley ignored Memphis's segregation ordinances by attending 'colored night' at the local fairgrounds amusement park. The following December, King was there as Presley opened up almost unbreakable racial barriers by attending and supporting the segregated WDIA black radio station's annual fund-raising event for 'needy Negro children' at Memphis' Ellis Auditorium.
    King wrote in his autobiography that he 'liked Elvis. I saw him as a fellow Mississippian. I was impressed by his sincerity. When he came to the Goodwill Review (the event WDIA fund raisers of 1956 and 1957), he did himself proud'.
    'The Goodwill Revues were important', he wrote. 'The entire black community turned out. All the DJs carried on, putting on skits and presenting good music'.
    In his autobiography, King said he held no grudges because 'Elvis didn't steal any music from anyone. He just had his own interpretation of the music he'd grown up on, same is true for everyone. I think Elvis had integrity'. 'If anyone says Elvis Presley was a racist', charged B.B. King in the 2010 interview. 'Then they don't know a thing about Elvis Presley or music history.
    'Many nights after we finished our sets and I'd go up to his suite', King confessed. 'I'd play Lucille (on his guitar) and sing with Elvis, or we'd take turns. It was his way of relaxing'.
    'I'll tell you a secret', King winked and laughed. 'We were the original Blues Brothers because that man Elvis knew more blues songs than most in the business - and after some nights it felt like we sang everyone one of them."
    'Let me tell you the definitive truth about Elvis Presley and racism', The King of the Blues, B.B. King said, 'With Elvis, there was not a single drop of racism in that man. And when I say that, believe me I should know'.

    @ Creative Eye ; Lets put some facts down instead of the "inside info of here say" before people believe that instead of factual info . A : The TCB logo was designed by Priscilla BUT earlier used as a phrase between Elvis and his bodyguards = close inner circle of friends . So everyone of Elvis his inner circle wore a necklace with the TCB logo as a sign of "being of one the inner circle" Elvis his large plane had also the logo as Elvis his glasses and other things . B: The TCB logo had nothing to do with a "secret" matter . Just an brotherly name for a group of people who were friends and wanted to express it with a logo to recognize each other . C: "Non" Elvis fans as in accusing Elvis of being "a racist" as mentioned as a phrase in the 90's rap video by Public Enemy and Chuck D.? Well ..1st : Chuck D later expressed himself wrong on that phrase in writing and on TMZ live , and quoted : "Elvis a fantastic singer , great ." 2nd ; The phrase revived an old LIE made up in a 3rd rate magazine owned by a Texas white man in the 50's called SEPIA . JET Magazine investigated it and found out it was bogus to the bone and Elvis never said it = ua-cam.com/video/34LrCW2djCk/v-deo.html . 3rd ; Elvis was raised by blacks , lived with blacks , had friends in blacks and later when touring in the 70's ,black plp in his band = Sweet Inspirations in a time when it was not common to mix . Elvis dared to do such , even if he got the heat for it with being banned on the airwaves in music , tv and newspapers or called a N. lover in the 50's. wich was the time the KKK was huge . AND... Elvis always credited his black idols like BB King , James Brown , Fats Domino etc for influencing him .

This was in preparation for this Elvis movie and unfortunately Sam died not so long ago.

    Where did you hear Elvis had a secret life with his "crew" and that TCB is a symbol for that? I'm a lifelong Elvis fan and have read 20+ Elvis books etc. and never heard of this secret life. TCB was a mantra, slogan, that Elvis used, meaning "Taking care of business" and the lightning bolt means "in a flash." Also, the lightning bolt has always been important to Elvis, as you saw, he had it around his neck as a kid (playing to be Captain Marvel). He was a super fan of Captain Marvel and that's where the lightning bolt is really coming from. He has a famous speech where he says that he used to read comic books as a child and he was the hero of the comic comic books, and that his dreams have come true a hundred times etc. This is really the first big screen biopic that is doing his whole life. The one with Kurt Russell was a made for TV movie and only went up to 1970, 7 years before he died. The many big screen movies about Elvis have only told partial segments of his life, or were completely fictional. I have been a fan since I was about 6, 40+ years, and I'm not sure when I started hearing about Elvis being a racist, or stealing black culture, or not giving credit, which totally blew my mind. There was never any confusion about this, or his story for the longest time, and then all of a sudden I see all these horrible things being said about him. It's all bull, and people that are saying these things, are doing so, I think to push their political, and sociopolitical agendas, and since Elvis was the main leader to have broke the barrier for black music into the mainstream, they are using him to rewrite history, and don't care if it's true. They are just using him because he would gain the most attention to what they are saying because of how huge of a star he is. Sad thing is, is because what they say about him is not true, it will discredit what is probably a good sociopolitical agenda, and they would have been better off telling the truth. Elvis was from the poorest of the poor, who was in one of 4 white families that lived in a black area of Tupelo, Mississippi. (The director of this movie, Baz Luhrmann, has a video of him visiting Sam Bell, Elvis' childhood best friend and it's a great video). Elvis' best friend as a child said that they all grew up the same and the only difference was that Elvis had to go to one school, and they had to go to a different. Other than that they were the same. Elvis' family moved to Memphis just before highschool and they lived in government housing. When Elvis was 18 he went into a studio to record a record to hear what he sounded like and to give to his mom. He had no plan of anything except maybe being in a gospel quartet. The studio saw something they liked though and they signed him and within 2 years he was the hottest star in the world. People make it sound like Elvis had this big plan to copy blacks and then break down the wall for black music into the mainstream and profit from it, when he didn't even know what had happened or how it happened. Also, how can you steal a culture you grew up in? It was a part of him. Elvis always gave credit to blacks, was friends with blacks, when that was against the law in some places. When Elvis was asked how it was that he invented rock and roll, he said something like "I didn't create nothing, black people have been doing that kind of music long before me." Also, just people saying he stole anything is just so opposite of his soul, as he was about the most giving and generous person I have known of. He gave his black cook a new home, and a new car, among other things, in fact he gave away well over 200 cars to family, friends, and complete strangers, as well as, about 10 homes, many many pieces of jewelery, he gave Sammy Davis, Jr. an expensive ring during one of his concerts, saying that Sammy was a jewel to the entertainment world. He gave to over 25 charities every year in Memphis, black and white, and never wrote any of it off on taxes, saying he felt it cheapened his gift, plus if he could afford the taxes he felt it also helped the country to not write it off. Now tell me what thief would not write off the most easy thing to claim on taxes? When Jackie Wilson had a heart attack and was left almost helpless afterwards, Elvis paid his hospital bills, and then his nursing care bills as well. These are just the tip of the iceberg, so when I hear how Elvis stole this, that or the other, or was evil in some way, it just is the most uninformed thought I can imagine. As a lifelong fan and a member of many Facebook Elvis groups, I can say that I, and almost everyone in my Elvis groups, are so happy, even emotional about this movie, because we know that Baz spent many years researching Elvis, then, when he got the approval to do the movie, he moved to Memphis for 18 months, where Graceland gave him a room to work out of, and whereby he was given access to any artifact and possession of Elvis' that he asked to see. He took photos and notes on everything he saw. Then Austin Butler won the role of Elvis after competing against other actors in many voice, and dance workshops and other trials. After Austin won the role, he began studying Elvis full on, reading and watching everything he could on Elvis. He worked with a voice coach and got to where he was sounding just like him, but felt that he didn't want his performance to be an imitation, so he decided to do a interpretive voice instead. Austin also sings. He does all of the 1950's singing as the recording of Elvis back then doesn't interface well with modern movie making. Then from the 1960's onward, most of the songs are a blend of Elvis and Austin. After hearing an expert talk about the reasoning I became more open to it. With Austin also singing with Elvis, it won't look like he is mouthing the words like if he was just lip syncing. Look at Dennis Quaid as Jerry Lee Lewis in that biopic, or others, and it just looks bad seeing someone mouth the words, so I think a blend was probably a smart idea. Elvis deserved this movie.

Para mim, pela primeira vez vai ser exposto realmente as raízes musicais, que começaram em Tupelo no Mississipi. As falas do proprio Elvis, suas proprias impressoes. Eu espero que o filme não decepcione e seja tão bom quanto foi o trailler.

    The actor, Austin Butler, sings all of the songs from the 50s through to the 60s; everything from the 70s has blended both Austin and Elvis’ voices. So Austin sang most, if not all, the songs! Austin has even said that when listening back to the film’s version of Suspicious Minds, he couldn’t tell where his voice ended and Elvis’ started.

    * * * Missing from this movie is his Country Music Roots. Rock & Roll is not just R&B. Elvis fused Country with Blues and his own brand of Rock & Roll was born.
    Also missing is the fact that Elvis biggest influence was not R&B it was Pop Ballad singers like Dean Martin & Bing Crosby. He did not set out to be an R&B singer, nor was he.
    Even Gospel music, which the trailer shows, there were other influences beside those in the community. At age 14, he met JD SUMNER (of the Stamps Gospel Quartet), which he came to see during an all-nigh hymn sing in Memphis. JD was a big influence on him, and later joined his band!

    The reason they picked this guy , is because out of the top 3 Actors who wanted the part, he was the only one who was also a professional singer. The other contender looked a lot more like Elvis but... at the end of the day, the director wanted someone who could do it all. Like Elvis. All the singing you hear in this trailer is Austin singing. Not Elvis. You can tell on small parts here and there. He trained a lot.

  • @darksouls47
    @darksouls47 Рік тому

    Austin (Butler) actually did all the singing naturally, so the sound production crew didn't use any of Elvis's singing in his songs. Baz Luhrmann wanted this movie to be totally accurate as possible so you're going to hear Austin naturally singing Elvis's songs like as of course, covers. And he put on the Tennessee accent so he could be in character from Elvis's natural speaking voice to singing and even the mannerisms. Austin did all the studying into Elvis to get into the character to play as him. This has also been done in Straight Outta Compton, with Oshea Jackson Jr, Jason Mitchell, Corey Hawkins, Neil Brown Jr, and Aldis Hodge to sound exactly their counterparts only using their actual voice and to rapping. Bohemian Rhapsody did it differently, Rami Malek doesn't sing as that often but used his voice in the Live Aid scene. All the singing has been done by recordings by Freddie but mostly by a youtuber by the name of Marc Martel. Which by the name you might heard of before, if not? Go check out Marc Martel if you get the chance.

    Tom Hanks is usually great. I've also been a fan of Austin Butler for ages. Not surprised you recognize him. He's always acted with his real hair color before this though (slightly-brownish-blonde). But he's been everywhere and in everything. I mainly like him in all his Disney and ViaCom (including Paramount and Nickelodeon) stuff. But the main thing people will know him from which was something else he did with Warner was the Sex and the City prequel "The Carrie Diaries".

THAT WAS ELVIS PLAYING THE PIANO WHILE SINGING UNCHAINED MELODY, WHICH YOU HEARD IN THIS TRAILER. THIS FILM HAS BEEN INVITED TO AND WILL BE SEEN AT THE CANNES FILM FESIVAL. THERE IS OSCAR BUZZ, AND I BELIEVE THAT IT WILL PULL IN AT LEAST TWO. I HOPE THAT IT GETS MOVIE OF THE YEAR. OUR ELVIS DESERVES THAT. HIS MANAGER WOULD NOT LET HIM MAKE ANY MOVIE WHERE HE WOULD NOT GET TOP BILLING, SO HE NEVER GOT TO WORK WITH THE BEST KNOWN ACTORS, IN THE BEST WRITTEN FILMS. THE MANAGER WANTED HIM TO STICK TO THE FORMULA MOVIES, WHERE THEY COULD MAKE QUICK MONEY...SAD.. TELL FRIENDS, RELATIVES, COWORKERS, FELLOW STUDENTS, CHURCH MEMBERS AND PEOPLE THAT YOU SPEAK TO ALONG YOUR WAY, TO WATCH THIS TRAILER, AND THAT ELVIS 2022 WILL BE IN THEATERS ON JUNE 24TH, 2022. PEOPLE DO NOT EVEN KNOW THAT THIS MOVIE IS COMING OUT. PLEASE, MAKE SURE THAT THEY DO, FOR THE LOVE OF ELVIS, AND FOR HIS SAKE. DON'T THINK THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. LOOK UP THE SAM BELL, IN TUPELO, MISSISSIPPI, INTERVIEW DONE BY THE DIRECTOR OF THIS FILM. HIS NAME IS BAZ LUHRMAM? WELL, BAZ IS CORRECT ANYWAY. SAM WAS ELVIS' BEST FRIEND WHEN THEY LIVED BEHIND EACH OTHER AS CHILDREN.. THEY HAD SLEEP OVERS. ELVIS LIVED IN A BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD THAT ONLY HAD ABOUT 3 WHITE HOUSEHOLDS. ELVIS WAS THE ONLY CHILD THAT WAS WHITE SEEN OUTSIDE. AFTER ELVIS WATCHED KIDS PLAYING FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS HE WAS INVITED BY SAM TO PLAY WITH THEM. HE GOT PERMISSION, AND THE REST IS THE STORY OF HIS LIFE. ELVIS. A MAN WITH EMPATHY, COMPASSION, WITH LOVE FOR ALL. A VERY SENSITIVE PERSON, WITH SELF DOUBTS. HIS UNCLE VESTER, VERNON PRESLEYS BROTHER TOLD US THAT GLADYS AND VERNON ALWAYS TOLD ELVIS THAT HE WAS GOING TO LOSE EVERYTHING AND BE BROKE. HIS MOTHER TOLD HIM THAT THEY WERE NOT MEANT TO HAVE MONEY. THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT. YET HE WAS A FREE GIVER. HIS HEART LOVED TO HELP OTHERS. HE FELT THIER LONGING AND THIER PAIN. EVEN IF A PERSON HAS NEVER HEARD OF OUR ELVIS, THEY N-E-E-D TO SEE THIS FILM.. WATCH ELVIS LASS ON UA-cam, IF YOU LOVE ELVIS. PEACE AND LOVE.
