Butler's transcendent performance is an instant classic that ranks among the greatest in film history. Staggering how, like so much else in this film, it stays in my head, long after leaving the theater. Incredible work.
Little Richard said “Elvis busted down the door for us, that we have been beating on for years. After Elvis we were accepted.”
Little Richard
James Brown
BB King
Fats Domino
Sammy Davis Jr
Mahalia Jackson
And many other black artists LOVED Elvis.
I agree with you! Obviously, you can't beat the real Elvis, BUT Austin is really good and I would totally buy a CD of Austin.
Oh yeah, no one is ever going to be Elvis - and no one will ever sing those songs the way he could. But it would be special to have an album with Austin’s version after all the vocal training he did
@@FinelyTaylored I admit I was a bit nervous when I saw the first interview where Baz said Austin would be doing some of the singing. I was blown away when I saw the "Hayride clip" and then the pre-production camera test singing "That's All Right". I played my mom Austin's version of "Hound Dog" from the movie and she thought it was Elvis.
The crazy thing about it is....Elvis was this and so much more. The way you girls feel about this movie The world felt about the real Elvis.
My mom was 16 when she met my dad who was 20. She was never "groomed". They met at work and dated, got married, had three kids(older sister who was stillborn), and then my twin sister and I. They were married for over almost 54 years until multi-organ failure claimed him in 2020. Dating at younger ages wasn't as big a deal back then as it is now.
@Christine O`Neal
Exactly!
So much talk about "political" and sexual correctness.
It`s wrong to fall in love with a 14-year-old girl when you`re 23.
But it`s right to fall in love with an 18-year-old girl when you`re 40.
Everyone knows that a girl at 14 can have children and is in most cases more mature than boys over 20.
Many decades ago, in 1971, the Am. Congress decided that 18-year-old teenagers are adults. Before that, the milestone was 21.
I know 16-year-olds who are wiser than many so-called adults.
I also know 50-year-old people who haven`t a clue what life is about.
In some countries of the world, a girl turns into a woman when she gets her first period.
Who can decide for everyone else when they are old enough to do certain things?
Vote, go to war, have sex, etc.
In most cases, we are dealing with incorrect technicalities and the average Joe six-pack clings to such formalities like burdock to clothes.
@@lechat8533 Yes...Plus social norms were different then. I don't think she was groomed. No one forced her into a relationship and if she didn't want to be with him any longer, she could've called her parents to get her. She was never held against her will.
My grandparents wed in 1942 at ages 15 (gma) & 17 (gpa) for no other reason than they were in love. Their courtship began when she was 13 and accompanied her cousins to go bowling and my grandfather claimed he knew she was The One at first sight. He was 15. They had a respectful courtship with their families' approval, always accompanied by friends and family on outings. It was a different time. I choose not to cast judgment on a relationship from 60-70 years ago by today's societal standards. Would I approve of the above situation today? Absolutely not. But it was different in 1940s, life expectancy was lower, the time was different. My grandparents were devotedly married 63 years until my grandfather's passing and then reunited with my grandmother's 2 years later.
My mom was raised by her grandmother and my great grandmother was 15 when she married my great grandfather who was 25. They loved each other and had 7 kids, my great grandmother was the strict one and my great grandfather was the soft one. She was not groomed and had a very very strong personality and was in a very very happy stable marriage
@@christineoneal666
I agree 100%
I knew nothing about Elvis a month ago. Now I watched Elvis 9 times :) and I am simultaneously obsessed with both Elvis and Austin. I feel better knowing I'm not the only one binge-watching Austin's entire filmography :D. I have never seen any movie with him up until Elvis but now I am entirely mesmerised by how sweet a person Austin is.
It's good to know there are other people sharing my emotional disturbances.
Once you get sucked into the Elvis "rabbit hole", there's no getting out of it...But, would you really want to?
@@christineoneal666 no 😀
Same with me. Never heard of Austin before and wasn't an Elvis fan. But after this film, I'm a fan of both! I am so OBSESSED with Elvis now. I've been listening to his music, watched almost all his films, his documentaries, and even read Peter Guralnick's 1st bio book on him and I'm on the 2nd book now. I live and breathe Elvis now. This is my new life.
There's a lot of hinge watching going on.
I appreciate your guys' honesty. I actually thought you guys' were very respectful and did a great job articulating your feelings and thoughts.
There are historical inaccuracies & artistic license was taken.
You have to go into this movie for what it is.
@Finely Taylored You HAVE to watch that Austin Butler on Jimmy Fallon Show interview.
I also don't think I've seen anyone immerse themselves into a role since the likes of Peter O'Toole & Daniel Day- Lewis.
Austin Butler threw his everything into this role and then some.
People can hate. I personally don't understand it.
As someone who had no idea who Austin Butler was before this film & as a non- Baz Luhrmann fan I can say with all honesty: I LOVED this movie.
So awesome you checked out the real 1968 Comeback Special 👍
Fantastic job all around 👏👏👏
I been an Elvis fan most of my life...over 60 years. The thing I like move about the movie is....younger people of today my say.....wow that's why Elvis is called the King.
Great review ladies. Ausin did a fantastic job. I am a huge Elvis fan and as nice looking as Ausin is, Elvis was the most handsome man i have ever seen. thank you.
So I've now seen the film 6 times lol, imagine that, 12 hours of my life gone and I don't mind one bit lol, and after seeing the film so many times, I think my new favorite scene is when gladys says at the hayride performance "lord, I hope they don't hurt my baby", vernon "hurt? Looks like they wanna insert blank" lol, vernon knew what was going on 😂,
Great discussion.
Elvis's music was not a copy of blues/black music of the time, it integrated pop, country, gospel, and blues, it was unique for the time, just go listen to the music of the day and Elvis's versions. Also, he grew up in a black neighborhood, it was part of his culture, as well as absorbing all county, ballads, bluegrass, and pop he heard on the radio.
His biggest million-seller hit was 'Hound dog' written by two Jewish white boys, NOT Big Mamma Thornton, Elvis changed some lyrics and injected a frenetic rhythm, his version was nothing like hers or anyone else's.
Of the black musician's music he recorded AND songs written by them FOR Elvis, they were all grateful, got well paid, and recognized.
BB King defended Elvis many times on film as well as activists Muhammad Ali, and James Brown who were good friends. And most of the black community back in the 50s respected Elvis, that's real.
The hate set in when a vicious lie was widely circulated by a reporter about something racist Elvis was supposed to have said (I won't repeat it) but it has been totally disproven many times.
Makes you wonder if it was circulated deliberately! But the mud stuck.
I was not expecting Austin to be sooo good in this movie, but he just embodied Elvis. I think he is still carrying a little bit of Elvis with him now.
It helped that Austin has great charm and charisma almost like Elvis. But we know he also worked incredibly hard for 2 years doing nothing but being Elvis.
Being taught many different dance styles and moves, he had lots of vocal coaching and also watched and listened to all of Elvis's movies and songs, and read intensely many books all about him, just about anything he could find.
So that's why he was so good, very hard work, and he immersed himself in everything Elvis. NOTHING GOOD COMES EASY!
Huge respect to Austin, he came close to the real thing! and that's something else.
EPIC, AWSOME, and STUNNING movie and a fantastic EXPERIENCE. Off to see it again tonight. and Baz Luhrmann is officially a genius now. Oscars all around.👏👏 😎😎
Very well put&said seems not enough can be said of Austin Butlers work ethic,like u I respect him so much on so many levels. I'm glad u put out ur comments as u have,u have said what so many of us think&feel,thank you.
@@davidrickert4752 well thank you, yes Austin deserves so much respect for the utter dedication and hard work he put in. I and I hope all Elvis fans will be following his career closely and supporting everything he does from now on.
I'm 53 and have been a rabid Elvis fan since I was 2. I was 8 when he died and was crushed. I share your reaction to the film and Austin's performance, both were other-worldly. More akin to a virtual experience than a film. I want to comment on one specific moment from your video that caused me to have a mini-freak out lol. It was your friend's mention of her friend's reaction to Elvis' laugh. During my first viewing of the film there were many instances where Austin's performance blew my head off. Moments where he was, quite literally, channeling Elvis. But none more than the moment with Binder at the Hollywood sign - when Binder told Elvis that he thought his career was in the toilet. Austin's reaction to Binder was the most Elvis thing I have ever seen from someone who was not Elvis. Not just the manner and sound of the laugh, but also its reason. It was a laugh of relief, of gratitude. At that point in his life Elvis was so tired of being lied to and pandered to that it actually gave him joy to hear unflattering honesty. I turned to my girlfriend at that moment and said "that's him...that's literally him". A small moment in the film, but to an Elvis fan, it felt like the earth moved under my chair. So glad I was not the only one who noticed that. Thank you for your Elvis reaction vids, love them.
Thank you so much for sharing that story with me! That scene at the Hollywood sign really touched me as well - but not because I was familiar with how Elvis sounded when he laughed or anything like that. It was just Austin feeling like he was completely channeling him in that moment. It just felt so real. It’s hard to put into words really. Absolutely one of my favorite moments.
@@FinelyTaylored I agree, It is hard to put into words. The channeling moments we are talking about seem to transcend language. That may sound absurd to some people but I know you understand. When people ask me what I thought of the movie I say, "You just have to see it. It's very visceral". Austin's performance cannot be overstated. I've been thinking about it a lot, wondering how he did what he did. Oftentimes, when actors play a famous person, I think there is a tendency to shut out your own identity and completely adopt the identity of the character. That's an impossible task, especially with someone like Elvis. The performance becomes an imitation, a caricature. Austin didn't do that. He kept his identity, held on to things like fear and doubt, and expressed them through the prism of Elvis. It worked so well because Austin is a humble and charming guy in his own right, and from what I can tell, an all around good dude. It was a perfect blend. I've never seen anything like it. And yes, some witchcraft may have been involved as well. 🙂
Elvis stole nothing from black artists. Once something is out there, it`s there for every other artist to use, twist, and change. Picasso started cubism and others used it and turned it into their style. Never ever had anybody complained that those other artists stole from Picasso.
Elvis combined R & B, Rock & Roll, Country, and even elements of Gospel, he was the first to add drums to that kind of music, and on top of that, he added his style, charisma, and sex appeal. Everybody else had the same opportunity to do the same but they weren`t able to do it. The whole "theft drama" is nothing but childish envy and total nonsense.
You girls need to pull up Elvis and the Black Community both parts(1&2); you will get the answer from many of the black celebrities and lay people that were his friends and will address your question. Both parts are on UA-cam and it is worth your time I promise.
Lace shirts, shirts, and jackets with the "Napoleon" colors, suits with scarves around the neck.
There's actually a 9 or 10-part series bring produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg called "Masters of the Air". Austin obviously is the star of the series.
Just ran across this and I think it's a great review and I'm at the point where you're discussing the whole stealing black music thing that of course always comes up. I'm old and was never an Elvis fan growing up but when I retired I somehow became one and you're discussing Little Richard..There's a utube 15 minute documentary that clearly Elvis and the black community..that echo will never die where you can see and hear Little Richard himself and many more black artists talk about exactly this whole thing. You're both saying you can't say because you have no idea this documentary will help you decide and know what the artists themselves had to say about this. If you want to know it's there if not I thought I'd just let you know. It was a great movie and like Lisa Marie said "If Austin doesn't get an Oscar for this I'll eat my foot"😂 Thanks ladies I enjoyed this !👍✌️
The Movie it self was pretty good and i believe austin will get in oscar for his performance
He never stole anything in his whole life - Daddy E was influence growing up as a kid - hearing music around him - just like any of us are with our environment around us as a child - He took rhythm and Blues- country - Gospel - combined it all - and hit on a new sound - He had a lot of soul - when or whatever is out their - anybody can add to or take away from what they want and make it their on - He created a new sound - and brought more recognition to the black community - than anybody else have ever done -
That lady on the right sure is pretty. Taylor keep up the great content and Elvis love!
You girls are so spot on! Austin IS ELVIS in this movie I call a visual documentary! I am a huge lifetime Elvis fan and it was so surreal I actually thought.I was experiencing Elvis! I have a good friend who said. "Austin is God',s miracle. Elvis had come back thu Austin,," ,I DO believe that! ,seen the movie 25 times NEVER BEFORE seen a theater movie more than ONCE! Cant get enougn. AUSTIN IS ELVIS. Its Elvis's spirit. No one can be THAT GOOD. AUSTIN IS
Larry Geller remember his hairdresser he was there too he was telling this story many times here on UA-cam they put Elvis Head in a bucket 🪣 of ice water and after that The Great Doctor Nick came give him a 💉 shot and Parker did say does words. And remember Jerry Lee Lewis married his cousin 13 years old, I noticed something The Movie 🎥🍿 is doing very very well Baz, Austin,Tom, and many other people who did work very hard and for a long time they start working in 2014 for this Movie 🎥🍿 some strange people put there strange reviews on UA-cam you have always haters Elvis did have them in the 50,s 60,s 70,s and I love Elvis when he get angry or was crying it's makes him human and the Movie was more than 4 hours long so they cut it Warner Bros wanted that maybe Baz brings it out and you will see more.
I think the entire cast was amazing. I’ve said and read so much about Austin ( which is well deserved) I have fallen in love with Yola’s music. That chic can rock! Little Richard, BB King both did great jobs as did Tom Hanks.. I’ve seen it twice and plan to see it at least once more.
Elvis has surpassed $100 million at the box office, with such strong competition from jurassic world 3, thor 4, and especially top gun 2(has made over $1 billion at the box office), this is a amazing achievement, so glad the film didn't flop, and austin better get that oscar nomination, and hopefully wins, definitely best breakout performance of the year,
Really enjoyed your review. PLEASE...we need the full Austin Butler concert. Such an amazing performance and of course, it was. He has to be the most prepared performer ever. He deserves all the respect he is receiving. Much LOVE 💘 to Austin. Saw movie at end of August in theater several times. Watched at least parts of the movie everyday since. It makes me happy.
As far as elvis "stealing" music from the black culture, people forget elvis grew up in a very poor ghetto as fuck neighborhood, so he was definitely inspired by black culture, but he always gave proper credit, he never claimed to have invented the genre, many musicians do their style.very similar to their musical idols, and they don't get accused of stealing their music, if you wanna argue he was more successful because he was white, that's fair, but he didn't intentionally steal their music, he was inspired by it, and made it his own style.
Thank you for chiming in! That’s kinda what I had always thought was the case. Seems like he was very much a product of where he grew up and the community that was around him. I do think it’s correct to say that him being white played a part in his level of success but I’ve never gotten the impression that he was going around just stealing music and claiming the songs or the styles or genres as his own.
@@FinelyTaylored a lot of white guys at that time didn't make it though. Elvis made it was bec of not only his sound, his own talent, his charm, hard work, performance on stage titillating and teasing the audience, his looks (everyone who met him said he was the most beautiful man they've ever seen and the camera doesn't capture his beauty) and etc. Elvis had so much going for him, he was unique, like no other
Have totally enjoyed your discussion. I just loved the movie and I’m a big Elvis fan. Have seen it twice and I’m sure I’ll see it again!! Your question about Austin’s hottest scene (you two are funny) is too hard a question but I’ll go with The “Trouble” concert. I literally said “Oh G-d!” Out loud. Regarding Tom Hanks as Colonel Parker I think he played that very deliberately. We knew he was awful all along but the scene where EP collapsed and all he was worried about was that he make it on stage later for his performance. Let’s also remember that he came to El’s funeral in an Hawaiian leisure shirt (this wasn’t in the movie but really happened). His reaction to learning that EP died was to call RCA to tell them to print more records. Hanks played him perfectly by making his offensiveness so off putting to any normal human being. Really, every frame in the movie is perfect. I know some people have commented that the first half is like a coffee high. I thought that was done deliberately to give the sense of how fast his rising fame must have seemed to Elvis. Finally, regarding the cultural appropriation comments, this was a kid that grew up in the shake Rag section of Tupelo…predominantly black area with three other white families. He played with Black children, went to the waterhole with them, spent time in each other’s homes and went to Black church and revival meetings. He didn’t go to elementary school with them because of the segregation laws. He was steeped in the culture and music, respected and loved the music. I don’t know that that is misappropriation or influence.
Not sure if it's either,seems it was what&who he was,people keep talking about the'black' influence I sometimes think the only difference was skin color?!
I want to see more footage of Austin as well
Baz seems to think the lace shirts are going to make a comeback. I’m old but I can admire silently from a distance 😁Seen it 3x and going tomorrow
One of the most important things that get lost in the whole elvis "groomed" priscilla debate is, she has never once accused of him grooming her, or doing anything to her inappropriately against her will, priscilla strikes me as a very blunt person, had elvis done any grooming of her, she would've addressed it a long time ago, people think priscilla has no agency, which is pretty sexist,
Just now watching your podcast and your observations are so to the point. I would just remind you that the story is about Elvis’ relationship with Parker, and never meant to totally delve into Elvis’ life. But, good job girls!
AUSTIN is in Once upon a time in Hollywood as Tex Watson. ONCE UPON won best picture, it was not crappy. I loved elvis and have seen it 3 times. Nuff said. Yes the scene you're talking about when he tells the band to go up an octave is so perfect. He's wearing the red shirt and gorgeous belt. After the first viewing I was in shock. My husband and I did not speak for at least ten mins on the way home. I didn't want to break the spell.
About to go see it a third time. Cant help myself. Make sure you go watch the actual elvis though he is even more amazing.
Enjoyed my third time THE BEST😎
Watch the whole 68 COMEBACK SPECIAL....and the movie THAT'S THE WAY IT IS...plus ELVIS ON TOUR.
He did full concert versions on his performances
Yes Tom Hanks says the reactions of the girls are real.
Watch the documentary Elvis and the Black Community. Tell others to watch it ,it explains a lot. BB King said once a song is released anybody can do what they want with it and as you talked about people cover other peoples songs all the time. Just thought the documentary would give you something to share with others ( if you wanted it. You do a great job!
Good analysis. However he wanted to do movies where he was a serious character like James Dean or Marlon Brando. He didn’t like the cheesy “format” movies of the 60’s that the Colonel got for him. His more serious movies are King Creole and some of the earlier movies. That was one of his huge frustrations and disappointments - that he didn’t get to be a serious actor which is what he wanted. Watch some documentaries (Searcher) or interviews with people who knew him, and this is revealed.
Great review…heading for my 13th time tonight and may very well add a few more before it ends…can’t get enough…the whole package. My very favourite outfit is the one he’s wearing when he’s visiting Parker in the hospital/checking out the stage at the International…I have a pic of him wearing that outfit on my desk at work…followed by the suit/scarf at the conference introducing Fats Domino and finally the white jumpsuit (Suspicious Minds). Choosing which scene is my favourite is impossible as every scene evokes all kinds of emotions non stop throughout the movie. Please do an reaction update with all the comments you receive…take care, from 🇨🇦
16th time today….❣️
Huge Elvis fan here. Baz has confirmed there is a 4 hour version in the editing stages. They had to cut the film so much because of a theater release. The 4 hour version will show scenes from the movie Blue Hawaii. There is apparently more music coming as well. I’ve been waiting too. 😂
i personaly like 68 comback /christmas special scene ... Austin looks great there :)
I couldn't go to theaters to see elvis & topgun, im very sick, like deaths doorstep, so I had to wait for digital copys, I just bought both on youtube for 30 bucks each, both amazing movies, i ugly cried both films, Im 40 y/o male. Ive rewatch them already, worth every cent.
God Bless you and, heal you! In Jesus name, Amen!
@@naomiwarner7117 ty! 😎😎
Have yu guys seen "strictly ballroom"? Its just wonderful all Australian.
OSCAR'S GALLORE FOR ELVIS THE MOVIE IS SENSATIONAL BRILLIANT AWESOME ARTISTIC FANTASTIC
I am 76 and remember the time.
I wish they wouldn't have done that last concert scene of unchained melody as the last scene. I wish it was actual footage of elvis of his real documentary thats the way it is leaving fans happy out of the theater not sad or more of austins concerts of thats the way it is showing more of austins hard work. such as letting austin be doing a concert with real elvis music while the credits roll in front of him. Austin deserved to have more of his hard work shown on the big screen.
Gen z who weren't born or lived at that time or know who Elvis is are concerned that Elvis didn't live by their ideology of segregating music? They sound pretty racist to me tbh. These people are no different than those who tried to cancel Elvis in the 50s because he sang and was influenced by black culture growing up in a black neighborhood and the projects.
Well put, this privlaged and pampered generation seem to love stirring up hatred and deviding almost every petty issue into colour of skin, whilst claiming almost everyone of my geration is rasist. Ironic really.
Watch Elvis and the black community....he didn't steal or appropriate....he lived in a black community for 13 years. He was immersed in the culture. He brought black music into white culture.
Baby Boomer here who had never seen Austin before until this film. Totally get why Austin is almost overshadowing Elvis here & I will be going to any future movie he is in. (seen movie 3X already - mega Elvis fan for my entire life)
P.S. never felt like Austin was Elvis, didn't like the way his mother was depicted, and knew the film was made for younger generations & i didn't think it was always factual or realistic in capturing the different decades.
There are shorts out there from Sammy Davis Jr BBKing and others ,Watch them.
❤❤❤❤❤
I want to see mutton chop side burns, not so much lace shirts.
That is what he wore in the 50's-early 60's!
whoever have been to ELVIS concerts would know this movie was not close to the truth ! it is only a movie !
As a massive Elvis fan I did not like the film that much, it was more of a Colonel film instead of Elvis. It was chaotic and we didn’t really see the real Elvis, the charming one making jokes every second of the day. Even the Smith family who knew Elvis the best (the side of Elvis’s mother) didn’t like it, the film made them feel very sad, Elvis looked hopeless all the time and the character didn’t match the real Elvis.
I’m sorry to hear your didn’t enjoy the film! I definitely feel like yourself and the Smith family went into the film with a totally different perspective and expectation than I did - which is fair. I went into it wanting a fantastical, Baz Luhrmann style film. That’s absolutely what I think we got. I was also fascinated to see a performance by an actor who didn’t feel like he was doing a bad impression or impersonation - which is all I really know, since Elvis died 16 years before I was born. I’m not very familiar with Elvis outside of his more popular songs. I don’t know much about his life or what he was like, outside of what we saw in the film. I think Baz spent a lot of time doing a lot of research but I also don’t think he was trying to make a documentary. He was trying to tell a story with a specific emotional arc, from a very specific perspective- through the eyes of the Colonel. It was more a movie about their relationship: how the show and the business do and don’t go together. I do think the film shows that Elvis was a charming man, but I don’t think showing him making jokes every second of every day would have served the specific story that Baz wanted to tell. And I totally get why maybe people who knew him very well or have been big fans of him for a long time and know so much about him may not love the movie. But I think it’s done a great job getting the younger generations talking about Elvis and possibly even discovering and falling in love with his music for the first time which is a beautiful thing! Thank you for your comment and your perspective ❤️
@@FinelyTaylored I do wanna say something about Austin, he was AMAZING! he did the role of Elvis with so much respect, the movements, the look in his eyes etc, it really reminded me of Elvis. I saw the film yesterday again in the cinema and wanted to see it from another perspective. My theory, I think the film is so chaotic because Colonel Tom Parker worked for the fair, it felt like a rollercoaster ride, he tried to promote Elvis once again but through this movie (I hope you understand it lol). After the second time I accepted that the film was a ride and I enjoyed it more. Is it oscar worthy? I dunno, is this the best Elvis film? Definitely! Ps I noticed that they used deep fake in the little less conversation scene, that's why he looked alote like Elvis.
Thank you for the response btw ❤
Lace shirts were not popular back then so it won't be a come back. Guys would have been accused of being gay had they worn a lace shirt in the 50s or 60s.
Elvis wore these in the 50's-early 60's! Bought them at Lansky's on Beale Street! He dressed different then than other entertainers!
@@naomiwarner7117 From what I have read he always wanted to be different, but I think it was the Black influence in his life. I grew up in Houston and I guarantee anyone who would have dressed that different someone would have called them gay or as the guy at the Hayride called him fairy. I watched a short bio and guys would cut the strings on his guitar. I have been reading stuff from a newspaper site called "Portal to Texas History" and from what I have read guys really didn't like him at first, but when they realized girls liked him then they started acting more like him.
Why would you want the austin version of elvis when you can listen to the real elvis?
Because Austin put in over 2 years of vocal training and poured his heart and soul into this project. I’d love for him to have an album that represents that. He’s a really talented guy and even though he isn’t Elvis, I think that’s what makes it great. He’s not trying to do an impression. He’s doing an embodiment- and interpretation that brings a different, new life to it. I know I can always listen to the real Elvis, but wouldn’t it be such a gift to have both?
Yeah I don’t get that either, He’s not Elvis, but I think theses ladies are Butler fanboys
@@travesotom6890 well, I’m gonna assume you didn’t actually watch the video if you’re sitting here calling us ‘fanboys’. First of all we’re women, so jot that one down. Second of all this movie made me a fan of Austin so that term doesn’t actually apply. And even if it did that’s a really childish reason to dismiss someone’s opinions.
@@FinelyTaylored Okay my mistake you’re fan girls
@@FinelyTaylored I agree with you...I'm an Elvis fan for about 35 years and have a huge Elvis playlist BUT I was blown away by Austin's talent as well. I would've loved to have been an extra in any of the performance scenes in the movie.
