any black person whose a fan of elvis is a bootlicking sellout whos parents should be beaten with bricks for not educating their children about this racist junkie asshole who couldnt sing and had no talent -- FUCK ELVIS im glad he died trying to take a shit
One thing people don't realize about Elvis is that he wasn't really a pedophile. The age of concent in Tennessee atcthe time was around 15 or 16. Priscilla was the only one who he dated that by today's standards was underage. She said herself that he didn't do anything sexual with her until their marriage when she was 21. And before that he had full concent from her parents. It easy to think he was interested in underage girls but you need to look I to the context.
Good job India.
I agree with your view. Culture doesn't belong to a race. He grew up in it, and it seeped in naturally. And he was all about forwarding the people that influenced him and bringing people together. We should all aspire to that.
But, all his music were cover songs of black music. He actually only ever wrote a hand full of songs in his career
@@teotot No one ever claimed Elvis was some extraordinary songwriter. Not even him. He was a performer, and that still takes a ton of skill to pull off. Like yeah he covered a lot of music done by black people...because he grew up within the black community. Kind of hard to not take that in growing up when it's all around you.
@@teotot Is Hound Dog black music?
A song written by two white men who also instructed Big Mama Thornton how to sing it, is that "black music" or is it something else? And Elvis covered the version from Freddie and the bellboys not the one big mama did.
What "black song" is Elvis' biggest hit single "it's now or never" from? What black artist did Elvis cover "Jailhouse rock", "don't be cruel", "heartbreak hotel" and "love me tender" from?
You do realize writing and singing are completely different talents right?
Very well said adasga !
@@teotot - no, they weren't all cover songs of black music. "IF I Could Dream", "Blue Hawaii", "Memories", "In the Ghetto"(written by Mac Davis), "Kentucky Rain", "Moody Blue", "Unchained Melody", need I go on? And all of these songs I mentioned were from different decades..
The movie fails to mention Elvis’ world class generosity. Elvis gave more than he kept for himself. He gave it all.
there still is a 4 hour version.. they cant possibly show everything in a 2 hour movie
Went to Graceland and they have a whole entire section just for all his donations
What are you talking about the movie still was focused on his good heart especially the fact that he grew up with black people
The movie wasn't about that though. That's stuff people have known about for years and years. This movie was focused mostly on his relationship with the so called "Colonel".
@@elenadehaan6549 the movie is almost three hours
I'll never forget when Elvis passed away, I was at work and I immediately called my mother, when she answered the phone she was crying so I knew she already heard....it was a very sad day for many people ..Elvis grew up dirt poor, probably even poorer than dirt poor!! Elvis was the King and he still is!!
My dad was so obsessed with Elvis. Elvis was buried on my 4th birthday. August 18th 77, I don’t think I got a birthday. Knowing him, he probably was so depressed and stayed in bed😂
Seriously though, so many people grieved over his death like how people grieved over John F Kennedy. Very sad day😢
@@lynncantrell2782 I was in first grade when President Kennedy was assassinated, they announced it over our intercom system, they had us go home early, the bus ride home was so silent it hurt your ears, in fact, the whole world was silent for some time...its funny the things that stay embedded in your mind!!
This movie was so damn good. I have seen it several times now both in theater and on TV. It resurrected the legacy of Elvis!
Elvis had numerous health problems, and chronic constipation was only one of them, in fact..it dogged him all of his life. Elvis had some good times too. He enjoyed spending time with friends and family. Elvis was immensely generous to a fault. He purchased homes and vehicles for his employees. Elvis also believed in the power of prayer. He was informed by one of his female backup singers (They were called "The sweet Inspirations") that she had had tests for cancer. He was so moved by the news that he asked the other girls to leave the room and he prayed for the singer that had the testing done. He became very emotional and cried and cried hard. Thankfully the tests were negative. Elvis wanted to let Parker go, but Parker threatened to extort the Presleys for several millions if they let him go. If I had been Elvis, I would have taken a copy of the contract drawn up between himself and Parker to an attorney that could have poked holes in it and strong armed the colonel into a settlement. Once this occurred, Elvis was free to sign with a reputable co. Like William Morris. Elvis would have been able under them to pick more lucrative projects, and would have stopped playing Vegas. He could have actually been able to tour Europe, and he would have had access to specialists to help him with health related issues. I heard once that Elvis could have had surgery in order to help with his chronic constipation but feared doing it due to the possibility of the press meddling
That's sad - didn't know that he was talking to drs about his tummy issues. Wished they could've done something without the press
His performance was so genuine. I know he’s not Elvis, I know who Elvis was. But watching the movie it’s like you forget that he’s acting and really believe he is Elvis. It was hard to separate Austin and Elvis. I really believed it was Elvis I was watching for the entire movie till it ends and you are jolted back into reality, it was that authentic, that real, you get lost in his performance in a good way
Great reaction India! Priscilla wrote in her book "Elvis and Me" that they did do "iffy" things...she also made him into kind of a control freak. They made a movie about it. Not one of my favorites. She later admitted that when she wrote that book, part of her was still mad at Elvis. The reason she went there and met him to begin with was because she moved so much and had no friends. A friend of hers was also a friend of Elvis' and he set up the meeting. Elvis realized he could talk to Priscilla about music and what kids her age liked, and she would bring him records to listen to. They also discussed movies and actors as well. That's how Elvis kept up with everything while in the service. Is it a little weird having a friend that age? Mmm...maybe, but Priscilla herself said it was nothing more than friendship until she got older. Elvis was dating Natalie Wood. He dated Ann Margret, but then ultimately married 'Cilla, as he called her. 😎
As far as the supposed "culture stealing" goes.... that's total BS. Elvis had many, many good friends of ALL races and cultures. Most people I do, I think. But look at James Brown talking about Elvis. It's on UA-cam....he stated, "Say what you want. I KNEW him. I KNEW him...." BB King said the same thing basically. King also stated that once music is out there in the world, it belongs to everybody to enjoy. "anybody can do anbody's song of they want to. Anybody can add to a song or add to, or change the arrangement and make it their own in that way. That's all Elvis did."
Getting back to James Brown though. He was at Elvis' funeral and he cried so hard. He stayed by Elvis' casket for the entire viewing, even as fans were let into Graceland to view the body. When it was time to close the casket and go to the cemetery (where Elvis was interred until October of '77) Jane refused to leave. They literally had to pull him away from his friend's casket. James was inconsolable. he talked very fondly of his friend Elvis... "I miss that man." Elvis and boxing great Mohammed Ali were buddies too. As well as Elvis and football great Jim Brown. Everyone who met and or knew Elvis really KNEW him. Elvis was a complex man.
Austin bulter played elvis on point fanastic loved it
ABSOLUTELY 💯
I tried watching this as much as I could, but it is hard. My mother passed five years ago today and she adored Elvis, she grew up with Elvis in her ears and heart. Life throws all it can at you and you just stand up, be strong and do the best you can. ❤ Dearest India, I love your videos.
A life that what was full of promise, that was painfully cut short. Elvis was here for us the fans even when he was at his worse his still poured his heart out.
Elvis's mother in that day would have no idea she was having twins. After Jesse was born she was grieving when she started having Elvis.
The generousity of Elvis
A really sad thing about elvis death is that his daughter was at Graceland that day when all of it went down. Priscilla has said a few times that her and Elvis never did anything "iffy" while he was in Germany
Priscilla wrote in her book "Elvis and Me" that they did do "iffy" things...she also made him into kind of a control freak. They made a movie about it. Not one of my favorites. She later admitted that when she wrote that book, part of her was still mad at Elvis. The reason she went there and met him to begin with was because she moved so much and had no friends. A friend of hers was also a friend of Elvis' and he set up the meeting. Elvis realized he could talk to Priscilla about music and what kids her age liked, and she would bring him records to listen to. They also discussed movies and actors as well.

Mmm...maybe, but Priscilla herself said it was nothing more than friendship until she got older. Elvis was dating Natalie Wood. He dated Ann Margret, but then ultimately married 'Cilla, as he called her. 😎
Elvis really had multiple health problems even before you could see anything wrong with him from the outside.
He wasn't taking the drugs just for the thrill, he was sick and the doctors couldn't properly treat him at the time.
Back in those days that was very common for there to be wide age gaps between men and women! I remember a couple that got married at 14 and 15! And my dad was 28 years older than my mom! They were just different times back then
I so agree. You are formed by your surroundings. Elvis grew up in a neighborhood of mixed influences. White parents/family and black friends. So during childhood and adolescence you only know what you experience around you.
I am glad to see you enjoying the movie. As a fan of Elvis for 50 years the movie gave a little of his life. Elvis loved his fans and he loved to have fun as a big practical joker with a big laugh. His people have said "he wasn't depressed as the movie shown" truthfully only God knows. The two women in his life near the end were Linda Thompson who later married Bruce Jenner (Catlin Jenner) and Ginger Alden. Which the movie did not detail because of Warner Bros. His daughter was at Graceland the day he died she had last saw him around midnight when he found her still up. Lisa has said " he kissed her head and put her back in her bed after midnight, that was the last time she saw him alive." She did see his body when everyone was rushing in and out the bathroom. Tom Parker was a snake plain and simple (just like Don King did to Muhammad Ali.) Vernon Presley was a good man but, not a business man and called on Priscilla to help him after Elvis died. Priscilla took over Elvis Presley Enterprise after Vernon died and made it into what it is today. There is more but like I tell a lot of people enjoy the movie but, do your research on Elvis if you want a deep dive.
Keep in mind that where he grew up and the time it was very common for older men to marry young women. Age of consent was like 10 or 12 year old girls could marry men in their 40s and 50s. Especially in the south.
I saw Elvis in concert in May 1977 at the LSU Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, LA - three months before his death. And hen we flew to Memphis the day after he died and to see him laying in his coffin was a lot for me to deal with as being a big a fan I am of his.
The mother's death scene Austin butler(who play elvis) was really crying for real because I don't know if you know this him and elvis also have in common they're both lost their mom they was 23 years old Austin's mon died from cancer in 2014
Elvis lived in east Tupelo until he was 13 years old at which time his father moved the family into public housing in Memphis, TN.
The Johnny Cash movie is called Walk the Line and it was actually really good.
But they messed up royally regarding Vivian.
If was very good Joaquin shoukd have won.
Money cow he had such a kind heart it made him vulnerable mick jagger said in interview kind and naive person.
"...just let him be great..." Amen
People want to watch an Elvis movie, that don't even respect Elvis, come among his fans and, try to bash him, he's not here to defend himself! He needs to back off, he knows nothing of what he's talking about!
When i watched this i cried. He met Priscilla when she was fourteen and he was in the army but he was discharged 2 months later and returned to Graceland. He did not see her again till she was 17. He married her when she was 21. Lisa Marie said that constapation ran in her family she and Elvis's mother both had this problem. His mother died at 46 Lisa Marie just died at 54. It was so sad to see Elvis at the end all bloated and ill on stage. He was still giving his audience everything he had to give. No one will ever replace this man. thank you.
I was sorry to see you cry about Elvis's life, he had many many good times but you are correct "When his mother died, some of his heart died to"
Elvis's mom was super protective, since his twin died a birth and she could not have any more children.
His father went to prison for forging a check in the early 1940s and Elvis started having "night terrors"his mother said (sleep walking) so he developed insomnia as a child afraid to sleep.
This was a lifelong problem for him chronic insomnia.
He was born with a congenital ganglionic fold in his colon-commonly called a "twisted colon"
and as he aged this area narrowed more and more until it produced problems for him pain and constipation. He needed that part of his colon removed in 1975 but because it was risky back then(and because he was so Elvis) no doctor wanted to do the operation.
By the time he was 40 he also had severe glaucoma, arthritis in his neck and spine, high blood pressure. He developed the idea that any med that came from a doctor could have no negative effect so his dependence on pain meds, and meds to wake him and to put him to sleep got worse. Sad cycle that has hurt many people and their families.
I also want to point out that dating someone as young as Priscilla was when they met was not that uncommon in this era-today the standards are super different.
In the 1940s,50s, 60s... many states allowed adolescent women to get married at ages 12 or 14 with parental consent, by the mid-1970s most states required that young women be at least 16 if they were to be married. In the south especially women married very very young.
Country Icon Loretta Lynn got married to her husband at age 15 and had only known him for a month. Her husband was 7 years older than her.
So the guy on the Stage is Little Richard. The person Elivis was talking to was B.B King one of the most legendary guitar players to have existed.
I love your reaction and how emotional you were, it was the same for me and I became a fan after this film. Elvis needed to get an operation but no doctor wanted to risk operating on him. Just fyi Priscilla's mom married at 15. My great grandmother at 15 married my great grandfather who was 25. Also elvis was a poor countryboy and he was very very loyal and loyalty mattered to him. So he stuck with people he felt he owed gratitude to or were his friends
Yes, Elvis had constant constipation which was inherited and worse due to drugs. There was an operation he needed to do to help but elvis was leery. And doctors were afraid he wouldn't survive.
He did meet his wife at 14 bit didn't marry her until she was 21. 9 months to the day Lisa Marie was born. Back in the 50s and prior girls got married at 13 14 15 often especially in poor communities. Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin and they had a baby. Elvis didn't have sex with pricella until the wedding night. He wasn't a Saint because he was off with other grown women while pricella was coming of age. It's also said he didn't really want to marry her but he'd made a promise to her dad. She reminded him of his mother when he met her. She filled a gaping hole in his heart. We can't judge people from another time and culture by today's standards. What you read wasn't exactly true. He did eat to much he was constipated but he had real diseases. Mega colon, glocoma, enlarged heart, and several others. The fact that he was found in the bathroom that way says he died quickly. God called him home. Elvis was so swollen with water weight he'd look 20 to 30 pounds lighter or heavier day to day. Look closely at his last concert. He had skinny arms and legs. The weight was in his torso and face. Classic metabolic syndrome body. That body type is a sign of so many diseases. Someone should have noticed it and helped him
Still pretty weird that he waited for her to be of age for however many years, pretty sure that's considered grooming but 🤷♂️
@@M3RKMAFlA yes to today's standards but not to poor white and black southern of the time. I as a mother of today would say hell no. My sister met her husband at 14 and married him at 16. People are nuts.
@@joannedungan8381 morally still weird as my grandpa was even a little uncomfortable with that back than, so legally yes it was okay but it was still morally wrong, the age of consent is hella low in some countries still and just because it's legal don't mean other people will find it morally okay
Elvis could not have cared less about money, which is why he got in trouble with the Colonel. He totally gave himself over to Parker and didn't care how much the guy was taking as long as he himself could take care of his family and friends and have some nice things. But when Parker's greed and fear started affecting Elvis' artistic choices, Elvis started getting sick of him. But by then it was too late. Parker had him. If he'd gone to a lawyer, he would have been rid of him easily - but Elvis didn't know that. And for him, it was too big a risk because if he lost, it wasn't just his life on the line, but also the lives of the hundreds of people he was supporting with his career. He couldn't do it. So he swallowed his pride.
The ONLY relationship that could be classified as "weird" at all was Priscilla, and they didn't have sex until they were married because he had hangups about it. He had a lot of hangups, and his psychology is a deep dive, but he was obsessed with keeping her a virgin. And they did do other things, but I'm not sure how much while he was in Germany, it's been awhile since I've read her book.
Him liking younger women had nothing to do with his sexuality, actually. He liked younger women because they didn't have careers of their own yet and so there was no conflict for their attention or time. The way he lived on the road all the time or the 2 shows a night while in Vegas, he wanted to be able to say, "I want you here or there at this time, I'll send a plane, be there", and he didn't want any extraneous responsibilities they might have to get in the way of catering to him. Not a super great attitude to have, but also not what it has been twisted into either. Younger women probably matched his emotional maturity level too, honestly, and I'm not being funny or flippant. He was a mess, but he wasn't a monster.
hey Elvis only has himself to blame for what and how the colonel treated him, no one else. You don't think some one who lures 14 year old girls into his bed, a woman abuser and a drug abuser isn't a monster? you serious?
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Are YOU serious? He didn't abuse anyone but himself, and he didn't lure any 14 year old girls into his bed. His whole life has been documented, search those documents out and shut up.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 DUDE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE SAYING BULLSHIT. I CANT WITH MFS LIKE YOU. He never fucking abused anyone you sound corny saying that
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425
Back off buckeroo, you know nothing about nothing!
@@naomiwarner7117 I moan is your name back wards, that will be the clue for you. I strongly suggest you go cry on some body else's shoulder. It is written in a book. no FK off!
Like a lot of famous people, Elvis was somewhat eclectic, in that he liked younger women - which was looked a little bit differently then. That she was a virgin I believe had something to do with it too. He also said that he did not trust men he did not know, and he preferred the company of women much more whether they were romantic or just friends. And that he liked to have priscilla around and didn't consummate the relationship until they were married. We will never know the truth, but Priscilla stands by the story too. Like you said, who are we to judge? It is also known that Elvis did not like to date or have sex with women after they had children. He thought of them more as "mothers" after they had children and "different" - maybe because of the relationship he had with his own mother, but it is no surprise that most of Elvis' romantic partners were considerably younger than him. Many older ladies wouldn't put up with the lifestyle.
Can’t wait until you release the full reaction !
On patreon can not do it on UA-cam
I’m commenting that I love it before it gets caught by The tube! I saw it at the movies but I enjoyed watching it with you 🥰
Welcome back luv
Hey India! Hope you are well.
India, I’m so glad you’re back.
Great reaction.
I can’t wait for you to react to Walk the Line.
Just boggles the mind what Colonel Parker got away with. 😎
Elvis allowed it.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 Where do I say he didn't captain obvious?
@@primategaberocco okay here is the rhetorical question, show me where you did? Einstein.
I seen this movie and you're right... everyone thought his life was all great..but no..he was used by just about everyone that was in his life..but also he could've stopped all of this but he chose not to..I will say this to his favor..Elvis Presley was and differently still is a genuine ,one of kind performer..his legend will always gone on..may we never forget him and his music..
Great reaction, India! Elvis was used and abused but, he had his own negative actions that hurt certain people who lived him and were faithful to him and didn't deserve to be cheated on and lied to. We all have to consider other's feelings when we are thinking of our own.
Me and my mom watched it today, it was really good, we were both pretty sad at the end, just the way, Tom Parker treated him, etc. heartbreaking
Billy Smith son of Glady's brother said on his UA-cam channel that the film did not show that Elvis was a real fun guy always playing pranks and laughing and was not so depressed as the film showed any more than the average man but guessed they needed to make the film more dramatic
Billy also tried to say that Elvis didn't grow up with black kids even though we all know he did. Billy is a racist and not to be trusted.
India,
So nice to hear from you.
YT is ridiculous, if anything you're a promoter.
Good Luck going forward!
Who cares how he died it’s all about how he touched all of use.
Your so right on with your reactions with Elvis...he suffered more than anyone knew. R.I.P.
Thanks for your honesty and sincerely❤🙏
I got my first name from Elvis's middle name, My family has always a huge fan of his including myself. The film shows that Priscilla left him due to the drugs and girls however they broke up because she cheated on him with his Karate instructor. She did have a hand in this movie though so that would be her doing to not show it. Also Elvis's autopsy has been kept secret but will be released in the near future. Personally I think he possibly committed suicide, His story is heart breaking. Everybody took advantage of him, Most of his friends, Parker and priscilla. He will forever be in the top legends of all time RIP to the King 🤴🙏
You’re back! Hopefully you have more videos coming soon
I haven’t seen this yet but I’ll watch it with you 💜
I liked the movie. Some say Elvis stole music, etc. I disagree. Rock and Roll was in it's infancy and, in general, musicians continue to this day to remake music and make it their own. For example, Big Momma Thornton, the original singer of "Hound Dog" did not write the song. Actually, it was written by two light skin brothers. It was a hit for her and a big success for Elvis. Some entertainers have a style and ability to move music forward.
Opioids can lead to serious constipation and even bowel blockages, which are STAT emergency situations. But Col had to keep E pumping them in🙄🙄 Elvis was found on the floor of his bathroom by Ginger when she woke up at 2pm🙄
It was a very different time; it was not uncommon in the South for a girl to marry at 15 or 16. My own mother married at 17. And my father went on to become a PhD & published author many times over. Can’t judge history through today’s lens. Well… shouldn’t lol. Learn from it- YES. Judge- No. And it’s not like there was a class action group of minors brought through as with some other more contemporary creeper stars. Would he & should he be roasted for it if he did it today? ABSOLUTELY!!! 💯!!!!
But it wasn’t today- it was 60yrs ago.
As for Ginger… Leonardo DeCaprio is 23yrs older than his longtime partner/girlfriend. Pierce Brosnan 11yrs older than his wife of 26yrs. Jerry Seinfeld 17yrs older than his wife. Steven Tyler- 39yrs older than his lady, John Stamos 17yrs older…. You get the drift. If there is to be one, the questionably intentioned individual in the end wasn’t Elvis.
I hope they packed plenty of ice water in Col Tom’s casket…
Or not.
Where are you.. come back, you’re missed 😢
Hello India ...... long time no see !
One of my favorite reviews. The end you read got wrong. Elvis had chronic pain due to a rare inflammatory disease. His colon was 3 times the size of a normal persons that’s why he got constipation like that. That’s what the pills were for. Dr Nick killed him with drugs that destroyed his heart. As for Priscilla she stated that she was a virgin when she married Elvis. Elvis moved back to the US And he did not see her again until she was of age. So now there is nothing inappropriate going on because it was impossible they lived on different continents
Is age 17 your understanding by the phrase "of age" Steven?
either Elvis fans are dumb or they believe in the invisible army.
@@timcarr6401 In the 1960s, the "age of consent" in the United States, as in many places in the world, was 16. That is when it was legally ok to have sex and get married. Yet Elvis was dating Natalie Wood and others when she was 16 and 17 AND he was living in his Las Vegas home during most of that time. So when Priscilla turned 18 then 19 is the first time Elvis and Priscilla would have gotten intimate. Noone knows EXACTLY WHEN. Yes zero sex until she was married I firmly believe.
@@stevepomeroy-rockin-pa-realtorThe determination of the age of consent that is mentioned in many comments
was based on many similar and divergent cultural, religious, practical, weather-related, economic, educationally-related considerations over thousands of years. One of the situations that played a large part in the determination of an early age of consent/marriage/childbearing was the need to have children and lots of children. [Love was not often on the list of care-abouts for marriage. Try mistresses for that.
For royals, nobles, and the rich the driver was the fact that birthing lots of children was necessary because succession of titles and responsibilities needed to be ensured and land/money needed to be passed down to keep those goodies in the family and to increase the assets by money marrying money.
The problems that made these goals more difficult were related to DEATH. Specifically, the death of the mother and the deaths of the children. Due to disease and poor hygiene (yes, even by the rich and the "educated" doctors who often arrived in the human birth room right after delivering a calf in a poop and blood soaked corral with their unwashed filthy hands). Or right after handling the vomit, diarrhea, and lung contents of plague victims. If infections didn't cause death the physicians/midwives were often rough in their manipulations of the baby - tearing tissues, bones, etc. of the mothers and babies. These conditions often led to losing one out of two babies or young children and/or a sadly large percentage of young mothers. And many times the young brides were not yet physically mature enough to successfully carry and deliver a healthy baby. And to remain alive themselves.
For poor people - farmers, miners, pretty much everybody - the goal was the same. Families needed lots of children to work the land, dig the salt mines, etc. The problems in successfully making these children in poor families were the same as those in rich families - high baby and mother death rates.
Therefore, you had to get the females young - right after their first period. They were then determined to be ready to have sex and, hopefully, to produce babies that would stay alive while remaining alive themselves. Unfortunately, the success rate on those objectives wasn't very high. The big shots determined that the solution was get 'em young and get 'em with child ASAP/STAT/TOUT SUITE.
And if the new bride died, just start over again with another 12 year old.
Not very romantic or considerate for the young girl or even health conscious.
I am now switching to the next major discussion topic - the virginity of Priscilla Beaulieu.
The information that follows in this topic is from Priscilla's autobiography.
Priscilla moved from Germany to the United States after her dad went to Graceland and met with Elvis to get his word of honor that young Priscilla would NOT live with Elvis and there would be no messin' until she graduated from high school. Upon her subsequent arrival at Graceland these promises were immediately broken. She and Elvis occupied the same bedroom and the only sexual activity that was NOT performed was intercourse even though she continually begged him to go ahead. They did finally include that activity on their wedding night. Thus she and Elvis would know the date of that event per her autobiography. That led to the arrival of Lisa Marie 9 months later. The result of that birth was the dimunition of their sex life as Elvis didn't think having intercourse with a mother was an activity in which he wanted to participate. That decision led to Lisa Marie's status as an only child and the divorce of her parents.
He keeps making him feel guilty and all of those people who he is responsible for.
Nice review
shout out to all the black artists in this movie yall did yall thang😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥
There's alot of BS concerning elvis . Now pricilla was 14 when they first met 2 weeks before he left the army and he was never alone with her in Germany. They next met in memphis when she was 18 and finally married at 21
Now all the GF were his age growing up his later GF were in there 20 who where Grown Woman .
Just look at the younger girls now going after older guys these days
This was the beste movie of the year and a great honor to the KING. Austin did a real good job in this. I wish they would do a whole movie about rock n roll, the 50s, the roots of modern music in blues, country and gospel. There are so many great artists back then that need to be named. The fact is that most of the best stuff are from the south because of this melting pott of culture.
I hate when people say culture can be stolen it can't culture is not a fickle thing it's not an object Elvis was simply a product of both blue grass and rock and roll both are instrumental to his music as well as gospel culture can only be shared it's unable to be stolen Elvis isn't the king of rock and roll because he was the best at it he's the king because he made it more popular and brought it to more audiences then any other preformer before him
India you are so right with your feelings. I first caught you from a review you did of Townes Van Zandt’s “Poncho and Lefty”. spelled as Townes wrote it with an “o”. You got Townes right off. You are a kindred spirit ❤️. The Alice in Wonderland poster on your wall is cool. It speaks to me about you. God Bless you✌️
Elvis met Priscilla when she was 14 but didn't marry her until she was 21.
Austin Butler in Elvis, Renee Zellweger in Judy as Judy Garland and Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash in Walk The Line absolutely deserved the awards they won. They nailed these icons roles. Same goes for Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury ❤👏🏼🙌🏼
Watching a couple of your videos I have to say you are a very entertaining and engaging art/film critic. You might want to talk to a copyright lawyer just to get some training in how to deal more smoothly with these issues. Everything you do should fall under the protection of "Fair Use" (but I also got my law degree by writing on a toy sheep skin with a Sharpie).
I leaned about The Colonel after I briefly met Alanna Nash and she gave me a copy of her book "The Colonel" about you-know who,. So I was excited to see this character show up in the film. BTW, she says the movie made Colonel Parker out to be worse than he was, but what's a movie without a good villain, eh?
Oh, and Baz Luhrmann the director. He has a funny philosophy about movies. He wants you to remember that you are watching a movie, and that things you know or feel are part of the story. So he does a lot of Easter eggs and hidden references in his movies. In this movie the scene that had me cry-laughing was the shot of Las Vegas and the casino where the camera flies in at night over the model and the city lights look like flames and it rushes up to the top to show the name of the casino, and all the angles and the music cue they play are the same from when the camera flies over Mordor and up the black tower to Sauron's Evil Eye in Lord of the Rings! Generous! If you haven't already seen it Baz Luhrmann's Romeo & Juliette (1996) is fun to watch this way. It will make a great episode!
Where have you been?? Good to see you welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!;
Back in them days it wasn't unusual for men dating younger girls. I got to start dating in the 8th grade and I believe I was 14,the first guy I dated was 20 but that's how it was. My husband is 10 years older
This movie was ok in some parts but it got long and drawn out. I felt like they made the movie more about the Colonel than Elvis...Thanks for your reaction
I felt that way too, at first. Then I realized that the movie coukd not have been made without elvis. Anyone could have been the narrator, Priscilla or even one of the Memphis mafia. But you still need elvis. So it is definitely elvis story.
@@lifeissweet9826 eh...just not for me I guess. Always appreciated Elvis music tho
I enjoyed your overall reaction to Elvis India. My apologies in advance for the length of this post. Elvis was a very complicated person. And although I thought the movie was very good, it could have been epic, but because they left so much out regarding his life it failed to meet that criteria in my view. I'm glad you researched about his death, which the movie inexplicably excluded (possibly due to Priscilla's influence). I remember the day Elvis died. Elvis was engaged at the time of his death to Ginger Alden. He also had a serious relationship with Linda Thompson (a former Miss Tennessee pageant winner) for several years after Priscilla divorced him in the early 70's which was not covered. In fact, Elvis' daughter Lisa Marie, who was on the property the day Ginger Alden found Elvis dead, has admitted she was smoking cigarettes (at age 9 mind you) and actually called Linda Thompson first because she had become so close with her during Elvis' relationship with Thompson. Elvis likely died of a aneurysm while trying to push/expel the waste from his system while on the toilet. Just a terrible ending for his life. As far as the race thing goes I was glad, and I'm a white man from the South, that they didn't shy away from how racist the South was, and still is by the way, when showing what Elvis went through, particularly in his rise to superstardom.
In closing I would like to commend you on realizing just how "human" Elvis was. Yes, he was having sexual relations with a minor. Members of the Memphis Mafia have stated they thought he might be put in jail for what was going on with Priscilla at the time, and fearing the worst. And although he clearly was influenced by black culture and probably supported civil rights when he was young, he also supported Richard Nixon later in his life, and there is well documented proof of this. Nixon was extremely opposed to the Civil Rights Movement (Nixon's Southern Strategy), and Elvis also was a supporter of J. Edgar Hoover (FBI Director) who also did everything in his power to suppress the Civil Rights Movement and its leaders, so because I'm not necessarily a fanboy like so many when it comes to Elvis, to me the jury will always be "out" when it comes to Elvis' true feelings about race, particularly as he got older. I've known many people who have black friends, or even relatives, but they are still racist. The idea that you have black friends, or like "black" music and can't be racist is asinine. You can, and I've seen it many times in my life. Again to me the jury will always be "out" when it comes to this regarding Elvis. Like I said, he was incredibly complicated. He tried to get the Beatles deported, presumably because he considered them a threat to his reign as the king/s of rock and roll, but he also gave a lot of his fortune away to people less fortunate and was very generous with his money. Elvis was a walking dichotomy in many ways. And the movie didn't get into much of this. I personally wished it would have. I want to see a person warts and all, no sugar coating, and they did sugar coat significantly with this movie. I suppose time restraints can explain some of it since the movie was already almost 3 hours long, I just thought they missed so many opportunities with this film. Despite all of this though, I would still recommend it. It was very powerful at times, and Elvis is arguably one of the 3 or 4 most iconic human beings to ever walk the face of the planet. And if it makes his fanboys/girls who seemingly think he was perfect feel any better, I felt sorry for Elvis during parts of the film. I had seen several documentaries about him over the years so I knew most of the story, but I still felt bad for him in some profound ways. In other ways though, he was a very flawed man, which the film seemed to intentionally ignore. You were right for binging up the things you did India. Elvis was a force of nature, the ultimate rock star, generous, but also very flawed, and not some saint like figure that so many of his fans make him out to be.
Your post was awfully long. Priscilla has been maligned in books by the Memphis mafia. They were jealous of the hold she had on elvis. They lived in the house with elvis and Priscilla and that was ridiculous for married people. The girlfriends were not important to this story. One, the movie is from Parkers point of view, it's NOT A DOCUMDRAMA... or documentary. If you want that, you can find them. Second, Linda Thompson was a gold digger, a baby sitter, and was in it for her own fame. She later married Bruce Jenner, very famous Olympic winner and then David Foster who she wrote a song with. She was always looking for the next big thing. No one even remembers ginger, no reason to incude her. The movie is not a minute by minute look, it hits the high spots of his life and shows us the hold Parker had on elvis.
I really liked this movie when I saw it in the theater but this is definitely not a happy movie. I knew there was an issue with Col. Parker but this movie really showed just how crooked and manipulative he was with Elvis. As with too many artists, Elvis didn't have anyone really in his corner. His father was barely literate and married another woman very soon after his mother died and was easily led by Col. Parker and the money. However, regardless of Elvis' flaws his music was incredible. I can remember when he died. The utter devastation people felt. He truly was one in a million. It is sad that he didn't live longer.
India I love you..........
A movie movie. The last live song he did tells the entire story. One could not NOT feel bad for him.
A lot of the stuff was true but skipping major parts and twisting others makes it hard to get a true full picture of who Elvis was. For the most part he enjoyed his life but he had some major hard times too.
That scene of him screaming at the Colonel while on stage and on a live mic never happened. Elvis did fire the Colonel but he did not do it publicly. Elvis was too professional to ruin a live performance like that. The only time there was a ruckus on stage during a performance was when 3 drunks decided they were tough enough to kick Elvis' butt. Bodyguards snagged two of them and Elvis used his martial arts to take down the 3rd. Never try to kick the butt of an 8th degree black belt.
If you want real facts then watch his cousin's youtube that someone else posted a link to or read some of the books written by his entourage that were with him from the start.
I dated a guy back in the 82/83 who said he was one if Elvis' bodyguards. I thought he was full of it but then I saw him in Elvis' entourage during a documentary on tv about Elvis. He said Elvis really was a fantastic and generous person and the guy I dated couldn't stand Col. Parker. He blamed him for Elvis's death because he kept pushing him so hard to do so many performances and didn't care what Elvis took or was given as long as he could get up on that stage and keep the money coming in.
Everyone depended on him. I have read 2 biographies and Elvis gave to everyone and then people would accuse him of buying something for someone else.
Lisa was around 9 when he passed. She called his girlfriend for years after he passed. Just don't know what their relationship was in Lisa's adult years.
I know I'm late but I had to let u know back then legal consent was 14 but no matter what elvis would not have any other intimate things with pricilla until they was married except they did kiss but he didn't marry her until she was 21 but he never dated anyone unless they were over 21 pricilla said in an interview she got mad at him cause he wouldn't touch her because they weren't married!
there are more Sugarland songs (stuck like it happens, all I want to do, glue, joey, Genavieve, Steve Earle, settling', already gone, something more, want to, , love, keep you, just as I am, very last country song, just to nae several). read other two comments first then come back to this one).
He never stole anything/he was born into it. It’s been a lie that he’s a culture vulture for years mainly from those who didn’t know the story
I SO would appreciate help on this ...
Does anyone know the title/artist of India's opening song?? It plays during the opening where she's sitting sideways, her head tilted as she looks over her shoulder and at the camera. Then, she very sweetly winks and smiles. The background is kind of a mixed blue and white splatter.
Much love, thank you all!
What 1950s or 1960s white rock and roller in America or United Kingdom worshopped and copied black roots music like gospel blues and soul. My brother 82 and I 72 grew up loving Ray Charles, Sam Cooke. I believe imitation is the highest form of flattery. From Elvis's childhood influences. I long for the day when we white fans are recognized as loving those influences. What a shame Parker cut him off from real friends. The 1968 special was how I like to remember him. At 5 or 6 "Don't Be Cruel" was my favorite song of my big brother's collection.
SUPER SHAZAM ELVIS +++++++ HalLeLu YAHshua ++++++++++++
I seen that movie
On those days the age was not a factor…It wasn’t like this days that everything is so different
❤️
A movie that you should comnsider to react to is The Horse whisperer with Robert Redford. Great movie and story.
Visit Graceland …it’s pretty cool…and you can you stay at the heartbreak motel lol
Unfortunately, marrying young was the norm back in the day.
I had just heard a radio show where his Mgr.was a big gambler.In Vegas where Elvis did his shows his Mgr.had the casinos give his credit to gamble he blew a lot of Elvis money. This guy playing Elvis was approved by Elvis ex wife and daughter for the part.Love your videos.
I'm not sure that's true. Baz would not have bowed to that because he knew what to look for in the actor. Austin could sing and that was a requirement. But they did go to Graceland to meet Priscilla and the family and had a BBQ. Much of the cast and crew were there. Graceland is still owned by Lisa Marie and she can stay there anytime she wants, it's her family home. They basically met Austin and were pleasantly surprised. I doubt Priscilla woukd have objected, but if it had been Harry styles she might have questioned hiring a famous singer to be elvis. It couldn't have worked.
I think it's called walk the line!!! I became a Johnny cash fan after I watched a movie!!!!!
The Colonel did not make Elvis, Elvis made Elvis cuz if that was a case why didn't the girl make anyone else? Elvis enjoy being Elvis but of course had gotten very lonely he had a hard time understanding why he was so blessed he came from property and a kernel took advantage of that, he made his dad who was as you saw in prison for writing a bounce check new nothing of business, what has to look back at the history in the culture of their time older guys did go out with younger women it was nothing uncommon for older guys to marry younger girls which does make you sick in today's world but Elvis was only happy on stage I hope the movie put it in to the racist stuff, this movie was about 85% correct and it was from the colonel relationship with Elvis always did not understand until 75 what an illegal immigrant was all about hence you never fulfilled his dream of going around the world times were different back then plain and simple thank you for watching the movie and for your reaction
Eminem was at the end because he, like Elvis was built up on black culture....Elvis had glaucoma, insomnia and pill use due to pain which caused constipation. Dude was suffering for years
Walk The Line is the Johnny Cash movie. What makes me love Cash and Presley is that both loved Jesus.... Elvis mom died at 46 of cirrhosis... Elvis weighed 350 pounds at his death with 100 pounds of undigested waste in him from the pills blocking his intestines.
Oh No…don’t cry.🥹 To late your tears brought me to tears.🥹
He had a twisted colon
I💕! The Tom Hanks character is my fave besides Forest Gump! I hope him and actors or Production ( Art and custom design should get so many awards !) Besides Aretha! It should won all the awards! Sorry I ❤️ a great auto/ bio!🥰😱😭😰🤯🙆🎵🕺💃👯🎥
Well look at you - but why are we whispering? Shhh is it because the YT police are watching ? Maybe we should have free speech in America 🇺🇸, YT is a trip, good review 👍🏻
UA-cam is woke
Where have you been ?
Elvis liked also elder women.
how do yall know he was generous were yall with the man
I think you should react to a song called together by for king and country, kirk franklin, and tori Kelly., plus I know a bunch of good country/ Christian artists(, these include: Lauren Daigle, for king and country, Anne Wilson, maverick city(promises), and Jordan Feliz to name a few(and I think that the songs from some of these reveal a lot, + Pease watch the story of my Jesus by Anne Wlson, it is so good, but very say).
The guy who did the movie is an Aussie. He also butchered Romeo and Juliet and a number of different "cultural" icons.
The question is: did you enjoy it?
