Elvis received an honorable discharge from the US Army and served in Germany where he met his wife, Priscilla. My next door neighbor served with him in training in Texas. He had nothing but good things to say about Elvis back then.
Also, he always wanted to be treated like everyone else, refusing any special "celebrity" perks as he could have gotten back in those days if you were wondering. I asked if he got his autograph or photo and he answered "no", why would I? He was just like us and carried his fair share of the work like every soldier was expected to. Of course this happened in the late 1950s, and those people are in their 80s now a days.
Please tell us more!

That black leather outfit that Elvis wore in his 1968 comeback special is hands-down the sexiest outfit ever worn! ~sigh~
I love all of 68 special fashion Elvis wore. White suit (If I can dream), Red suit (Gospel), black silk shirt n pant (Guitar man), Black leather (Boxing stand up) all so beautiful fashion. Elvis was so handsom in 68 special. Even today's standard, he was so trendy.
I don’t know what the right words are, When I watch what he entered into, his voice was magical but for the time he was in the popular culture said unbelievable comments and the same from other famous blues artists when I see Elvis saying he can’t criticize any other artists “There’s room for all of us” what a gifted person he was not just in his voice but compassion to touch so many it’s still being felt in 2022😎 There is only one King and he said that too. Thank you God for letting us all lose ourselves in the gift of music That’s made for EVERYONE!….
Literally just wrote an essay on why Luhrmann’s version of romeo and juliet was the most effective adaptation of the play
Why?
Baz made Leo a star with Romeo + Juliet. Leo became a very successful actor because of his role in Romeo + Juliet. He would later reunite with Baz again in The Great Gatsby in 2013
Huge respect to Baz, he is truly true Master of his scraft! I adore all of his movies, they are in top of my fav. Elvis was, unsurprisingly, one more masterpiece added to his other masterpiece's films.
I agree with you. Personally I thought Elvis should’ve won Best Picture, and his version of The Great Gatsby is incredibly underrated.
Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge were parts of my childhood. It's impressive to see Baz go from those movies to Elvis. Baz collaborated with actors like Leonardo Dicaprio, Nicole Kidman and John Leguizamo. Baz made Dicaprio a star. I thank Baz Luhrmann for Leo's successful acting career
I love Romeo + Juliet and The Great Gatsby! Magnificent director!
Baz Luhrman is by far the most interesting director. I didn't like Moulin Rouge, never saw Romeo & Juliet, and wasn't interested in DiCaprio's version of Gatsby. I loved Elvis. What I like about Luhrman's approach is that he puts an intellectual spin on the storytelling, taking a deep dive into the research and coming up with this colorful and innovative way to tell the story that he wants to show on screen. He adds bits and pieces of entertainment and education about his subject matter that has not been present in previous depictions. This movie is definitely going to receive many, many Oscar nominations.
Well done baz your lovely man god bless jackie kavanagh from Ireland
BAZ, AUSTIN AND TOM will GET OSCARS FOR THIS FILM, IT'S ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING.
Ok fans the bottom line is Elvis time is Now, Elvis deserves an Oscar hands down from Hollywood. This movie is coming at the perfect time on what Elvis fans needed for decades, to get Elvis back in the minds of everyone not just his fans, time for Elvis is Now…the movement must be started, spread the word….
Ok fans, these interviews and the stars are what Hollywood was all about and it somehow got lost….now in a unique way it’s back….I was lucky to experience the Elvis world he created back in the 50’s ….black & white television appearances, buying his 45’s for 39 cents, going to see Love Me Tender in a movie palace, that’s right a movie palace in Washington Heights, New York….years later Elvis live in Madison Square Garden…fast forward 3 1/2 years ago I began writing my book, never knowing that this monumental movie was in the works…Of course I haven’t seen the movie yet, only the trailers but the new book Elvis: The Quest for an Oscar gives an accurate account of why Elvis deserves an Oscar for not only his 31 movies but for his unequaled contributions to the movie industry. On another note everyone who had the opportunity to see Elvis movies in the theaters when they were originally released always came away with a unique and gratifying movie experience. Elvis was not only a movie star but a great actor also. Austin Butler will absolutely win the Oscar for his performance in “Elvis”. This is the movie you must see, Elvis: The Quest for an Oscar is the book you must read, 536 pages with a great cover. It’s time Hollywood recognized Elvis for his contributions to the movie industry…when Austin Butler gets his Oscar next year and he will, Hollywood needs to right the ship and give one to Elvis. For those who say I’m wrong, for those who want to criticize these feelings, remember what you are witnessing is coming from the greatness that Elvis possessed……Elvis never really left the building, he is forever right there in our minds and hearts….as Ed Sullivan would say “tonight this is going to be a really really big show right here on our stage, Elvis……Presley………
Odd how they don't mention his 2008 movie "Australia".
I LOVE this movie. It's dazzling.....and Austin Butler kills it as Elvis Presley. AND he's adorable!
YOU are brainwashed and delusional buddy!!!!!
@@googlefan8990 JEALOUS MUCH?
EXCELLENT MOVIE!!
Eles pensa quê elves preles está morto ele não morreu 👑🌟🎸💯 deixa seu legado 👑👑🌟
Wow he looked just like Elvis 💯❤️
Amazing movie & director😍💖👍🏻& Austin Butler the best💪🏻💫💪🏻💫🌠💙👍🏻
He may be the most important director outside of Steven Spielberg
Baz, I think your next movie should be based on Pricilla and her point of view also. I know Elvis moved mountains beyond what most people will understand and it’s more than his music to me, but I’d also love to see and hear Her point of view for sure also.
No matter the color, gotta pay homage, appreciate the influence & when telling a true story must include those unseen facts & truths, wherever it comes from...
🤔🤨
What is this hosts name?? He is a stunning man omg I’m weak in the knees. Where has he been all my life??,,

The movie did not recreate Elvis' appearance on Ed Sullivan or from the movie Jail House Rock. Those were the only problems I had with the movie.
"I'm not the king. Jesus is the King. I'm just an entertainer". Elvis was reported to have said that. Amen if it's true. Hallelujah if he meant it.
I'm going to make a feature film called 'High School Shooting the Musical' in 2024
The acting was great, the movie over all was wonderful. I had two issues, my personal opinion... The lay out was different from the first half of the movie to the other. Also, adding modern music like rap is insulting to Elvis, basically saying his music alone doesn't.cut it. And if you wanted modern music then stick to rock and roll and rhythm and blues. Seemed off putting. And I love all music, just Elvis is Elvis, you don't need anything else.
I think the purpose was to show how even today his music influences others and is covered. And Baz does use current artists in all his films
Literally felt the same exact way what a slap with that wack rap song
i totally agree about the rap music
I think it was done to show that Elvis Presley has stood the rest of time and appeals to all music fans. If a rap artist samples a song, it’s like a tribute to the original artist. That’s what Baz was trying to show. I could see why it can be hit and miss with the audience, it can be off putting if you don’t enjoy rap or hip hop music.
Adding hiphop just attempts to indicate how it is connected to Elvis' era. Hiphop is about 50 years old.
Is not him performing jailhouse rock! That’s Elvis himself!
It's mostly Elvis's voice with Austin mixed in but the actor is so good, you can't tell.
@@christineoneal666 50s elvis was all austin singing and 60s 70s elvis was a mix of austin and elvis
Very low small parts of Austin Butler blended in with Elvis
@@ajsmith5295 'low small parts' lol
Nice moves that's it about this fim
If he could stop putting in present day music in movies set in the past, that would be great. New doesn’t always mean better.
I am 84 and remember when elvis made his first records and knew he had appropriated black music but that was the only way white people could hear black music
In order to hear black music, you had to tune into a black radio station and they had their own language. Slang, I guess. I lived in Chicago at the time and white people didn't go to black clubs to hear their music, so elvis brought thst to us
Of course elvis was not the king of rock and roll and he knew that, but I believe he loved black music as did
I. 😍😍
He was the king of rock n roll. Far better than anyone else before or after him. Greatest singer of all time.
ok
Austen butler elvis Presley living yes for evriting God bringing.to him hoorenhim and beautiful men for elvis Presley she heffing yes saying you living vrom elvis and not no body moor loving you elvis
You world elvis maked you hair Black and kleiduiven and shows den verget you never bay bay bay bay christel Smeets wens you.its.more.its El olie
He looks like he should have made a movie about Liberace
He would be perfect for that!!
Lol
at j
please please... do another Elvis 2 .. without the Parker character!! no Tom Hanks!
That wouldnt even make sense 😂😂😂what happens elvis comes back from the dead?😭
Tell me where u had ur plastic surgery not to go there
"and Moulin Rouge didn't even have a director." Who would've known?
Good grief.
Wear sunscreen.
this guy has got to be the most overrated director ever. 'elvis' looks like it was shot by someone who has adhd or on speed. he's got rap/hip hop playing in the 1950s, and elvis looking like a drag queen. parker didn't have neither the accent nor the insight nor the vocabulary that hanks has. not only is the feel of the movie all wrong, there are so many factual errors that it's pitiful. why does this guy deserve praise? i'm sure i could have done a better job with that budget...sign of the times. i stopped watching after about half an hour...
so this is the guy responsible for ruining the movie about the king😡
This film has some of the least direction I’ve ever seen. The performances are great, the music is there, and there are some cinematic or editing moments that are beautiful. Luhrman had no competence or coherence as a director, so the entire film was one long bad montage. It had great ingredients that added up to a mediocre experience, and none of the great ingredients had anything to do with Luhrman.
He had to cut it from 4 hours to 2 1/2!
@@Liz_in_the_OC He should have picked 2 or 3 plot lines to develop then, instead of half developing 100
The first half of the movie reminded me of Speed Racer, at least the effects
King of culture vultures
Apparently you didn't watch the video but were so eager to comment and show your ignorance.
Ahwww look at you.
1. He was not a culture culturele
2. He will always be king of rock n rol and there is nothing you can do about it boo boo 😘
Awful movie
The King of Cultural Appropiation 🙄🙄🙄
Do your research before you accused someone of that. Too many people jump on the bandwagon and said that and other things. go see the movie so you understand the Truths.🙄🙄🙄

Nelson George on Baz Luhmann, Elvis and the Black Community, and Cultural Appropriation. (MOJO MEDIA. utube channel)
A movie about a colonel-manager? Really? Tom Hanks at his worst, wearing prosthetics and putting on a distracting foreign accent, Hanks feels too much like a caricature, waddling into the picture like an uninvited guest at a snazzy party. THUMBS DOWN
Moulin Rouge was OK - but don't waste your money on this last movie - IT IS A BUMMER!
