    I believe that this was an absolutely beautiful song not only did Elvis do it to honor Martin Luther King but I'm pretty sure he's honored so many future Generations who should appreciate all the sacrifices that we have made. We need this song to be played now with all that's going on because we're forgetting what so many people have done how much sacrifice they made to ensure that we live

      Baz Luhrmann's movies are always a visual feast. I feel like there aren't enough directors like him working in Hollywood these days, those with a kind of singular vision and distinctive style. Obviously there are some like Denis Villeneuve and Paul Thomas Anderson, but most such directors are those remaining from Hollywood's artistic peak in the 70s, like Scorsese.
      (Obviously outside of Hollywood it's a different story, and Hollywood certainly ain't the be-all and end-all of cinema)

    In real life, this performance was even more powerful than we all know: that's the great Wrecking Crew backing up Elvis on the rhythm track with Hal Blaine on drums. They had to cut and replay the take a couple of times because Elvis was delivering such a powerful performance some of the musicians were breaking down crying as he was singing. These were some of the world's best professional, highly skilled, highly trained musicians so deeply moved by him that they had to restart a few times!

My friend Chuck Berry is the King of Rock. Presley was merely a Prince who profited from the royal talent of a sovereign ruler vested with tremendous creativity. Had Berry been white, he could have rightly taken [Presley’s] throne and worn his crown well.’”

    When I first saw the Elvis Presley Biopic movie with Mr Austin Butler I was renting a room in South Central Southern California.
    Mr. Butler was robbed of his Oscar.🏆 He did a magnificent job coming from a former Child Actor Model Austin when I saw the trailer I already knew they caster the perfect person to play Elvis.
