Austin Butler should get an oscar for his performance!
I hope so.
I'm embarrassed to admit how many times I've watched this movie. Absolutely love Austin Butler as Elvis sounded like the real thing!!!!💞💞
Oh you are not alone!!!
Don’t be embarrassed, I have lost count of how many times I have watched ELVIS and I’m not embarrassed !❤❤
Mr BB King loved Elvis: 'Before Elvis we had Little Black Sambo, separate black restrooms and water fountains, and colored events that kept us away from the whites', BB King noted as he mention that Presley would attend events especially designated just for African-Americans.
In June 1956, Presley ignored Memphis's segregation ordinances by attending 'Colored Night' at the local fairgrounds amusement park. The following December, King was there as Presley opened up almost unbreakable racial barriers by attending and supporting the segregated WDIA black radio station's annual fund-raising event for 'needy black children' at Memphis' Ellis Auditorium.
King wrote in his autobiography that he 'liked Elvis. I saw him as a fellow Mississippian. I was impressed by his sincerity. When he came to the Goodwill Review (the event WDIA fund raisers of 1956 and 1957), he did himself proud'. 'The Goodwill Revues were important', he wrote. 'The entire black community turned out. All the DJs carried on, putting on skits and presenting good music'.
In his autobiography, King said he held no grudges because 'Elvis didn't steal any music from anyone. He just had his own interpretation of the music he'd grown up on, same is true for everyone.
I think Elvis had integrity'. 'If anyone says Elvis Presley was a racist', charged B.B. King in the 2010 interview. 'Then they don't know a thing about Elvis Presley or music history. 'Many nights after we finished our sets and I'd go up to his suite', King stated. 'I'd play Lucille (on Elvis' guitar) and sing with Elvis, or we'd take turns. It was his way of relaxing'.
'I'll tell you a secret', King winked and laughed. 'We were the original Blues Brothers because that man Elvis knew more blues songs than most in the business - and after some nights it felt like we sang everyone one of them." 'Let me tell you the definitive truth about Elvis Presley and racism', The King of the Blues, B.B. King said, 'With Elvis, there was not a single drop of racism in that man. And when I say that, believe me I should know'.
BB King's impressions of Elvis are so credible because he personally knew the guy.
Elvis Presley possessed Austin Butler to make this Biopic Masterpeace!!
Literally.....
naaahh he just acted really good
一生懸命やってるけど
エルビスはそこにいるだけで花がある、華やかさがないのは、仕方ない
I thought so too.
Hmm I dont think possessed is the right word at all...
Elvis would be age 87 this year 2022 and if could have watched this move he would be proud. Long live the KING!
I hope the Academy gives full recognition to all the cast.Elvis the movie and Elvis the man.
I've been in Elvis fan for 48 years... probably a few more years added on and when I saw Austin Butler portrayElvis I was in love with Elvis all over again. I just love Austin Butler's demeanor and his humility and I just love listening to him talk. I love his gestures. He is just an amazing young man who can definitely act. Just listening to him just warms my ❤️
Never will be another Elvis...but I am sure Hanks and Butler will get Oscar's thanks to the King
I have been a hardcore Elvis fan for 50 years and I absolutely loved this movie. Austin Butler has brought excitement back for the fans as well as putting a smile back on Lisa Marie's face which is amazing! Thank you Austin TCB and TLC 💖
I loved this movie. It was perfect. I am a 87 year old man, so I was THERE when Elvis was KING. Austin Butler was great in portraying the King of rock & roll. Rock & roll may have changed a lot thru the years, but Ekvis started it all in the later 50's. And I saw it with my sister and brother. Just the three of us which made it very dear. And this is neither here nor there, but when I was a kid I loved Captain Marvel Jr comic books just like Elvis Presley did.
Wow! What a time to be alive! I'm a 38yo Australian woman and I've been an Elvis Fan my whole life. My father is a musician, that's how I discovered n truly learned about the Pioneer and King of Rock n Roll. Much love to you x
Do you remember the time Elvis was on Ed Sullivan & shown only from the waist up because he was "Elvis the Pelvis"? All those religious hipocrites & bible thumpers from the south deemed his gyrations not fit for family entertainment. That was on a Sunday, January 6,1957. That's the day I was born! Elvis was 21 @ rhe time, & hiss birthday was 2 days after mine, January 8, 1935
@@sallyweinreich5769 shaddup
@@sallyweinreich5769 I remember the name of course, "Elvis the Pelvis" I didn't make fun of it back then cause I thought , well yeah, that's Elvis the Pelvis..it's how he moves. Elvis however didn't like that nickname. He thought it was childish. It didn't stick with him too long though. As he got older, that name went to the back burner..
Loved the movie.. saw it 3 times. Ordered it too. Love that man to this day! ❤🎶🎤
Elvis was the best, remember when he died, didn’t believe …. Lisa Marie kept the family name going & will she’ll will be remembered for that , I saw Elvis once in Nashville , will never forget Elvis or Lisa Marie, Especially when she sang with him Daddy Don’t Cry 7:02
i'm 75 and was 9 when Elvis came on the seen - this movie was downright awesome - I felt like Elvis lived - Austin was terrific and everyone else in film was terrific to
Austin Butler did it! No one but no one has ever portrayed the King better than Austin,so far. "Elvis";is indeed a must see movie!
STORY OF AN AMERICAN LEGEND! SOUNDED AND LOOKS ALL AMERICAN!
FILMED IN AUSTRALIA! AMAZINGLY BELIEVABLE! OSCORS GALLORE! FOR ELVIS!💙💙🙏🙏
Please give Austin Butler and Baz the credit for the immense amount of research and hard work they put into creating this film. It was their integrity and search for authenticity that makes this film so convincing a portrayal of a cultural icon. Immense commitment! Xx
Both Austin Butler and Tom Hanks deserve an oscar for their performance. They both were amazing.
I agree omg they did a wonderful job.
I Agree
Yeah, I agree too. Tom was diabolically good & his makeup was awesome. I know for sure Austin will win tho.
Tom Hanks didn't sound like the Cornell
@@joannswitzer2084 That could well be because Tom Hanks, the actor, is actually a different person that the "Cornell"
It doesn't get better than this movie. The story of Elvis is one not to be missed. Austin Butler kills it as Elvis.
Could not believe how Austin captured Elvis Presley.🥰
I just learned that Austin was Tex in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood! What?
Now I have to watch Quentin’s epic once again- like for the eighty time💕
🙋♀️💜🌟
Oh Lord I'm 72 years old. And can't wait to see the Movie. Elvis was my Love 💓
Mine too and I'm 67!
All three (yes 3) gentlemen deserve awards…Baz, Tom and Austin. Without any one of them, we wouldn’t have the phenomenal “Elvis” movie that is has morphed to be‼️‼️‼️
…”it”, NOT “is”. (I hate it when these smart phones think they’re smarter than us!!!!!!!!)
This movie beat out Top Gun as far as ratings go. Not surprised. Elvis is number one. He sold more albums and sang more songs than anyone. And hedidnt need autotune like the socalled fake singers of today. TCBwith TLC
It was just meant to be for Austin to play Elvis‘ kudos Elvis would be proud as well as his family is thank you to all that dedicated their time and their talent ☮️👑🥰🎤🎼🙏💘😇💥🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I totally agree
A wonderful story Elvis was one of a kind and Austin Butler was Elvis in this film He became the Elvis, sounds like Elvis talks like Elvis. Oscar performance!!
Great!!!!
You can hear the transformation in Austins voice kind of like Elvis himself over the years . It sounds like Austin still has a bit of Elvis left in him from becoming this character the past 2 years , you can hear a clear but very pleasant difference compared to how Austin sounded in interviews before this movie . I agree with the tweet of Lisa Maria that Austin should win an academy award for his portrayal of her father ..
Fan for 50 yes also my first 45 record was Heartbreak Hotel. I think I still have my scrapbook of him going into service & getting haircut, and when he and Priscilla married and more. Austin Butler should get an academy award for his portrayal of Elvis. There were times I couldn’t tell the difference. It was meant to be.
@@1cloutbs At 63 years old i have been a fan since i can remember . There has not been a performer since that has the charisma or talent of Elvis although alot have tried unsuccessfully , he changed the face of music and fashion even 45 years later and here we are still worshipping him. There has been countless movies and documentaries over the years and i have seen them all twice and nothing compares to the performance of Austin in this movie and his rapid rise to fame will be something to watch from this point on . Have a nice day Brenda ..
Lisa and Priscilla was correct thank you Baz to get his story at least almost 100% correct. This is a story about Elvis's career. This was not one of those movies that was made to come out to tell about his life that they knew nothing about or made up to sell the movie. Now lets face it there was a couple times that they played a song at one of the venues that the song was not out yet, or it wasnt exactly at that stage; but at least it happened. Austin didnt look like Elvis, nor sound exactly like him, or move exactly like him, however Austin did an amazing job portraying such an icon. And Lisa is correct when she says so many people portrayed Elvis with stories made up with the help of those who did nothing but used him when he was alive and disrespected him after his death and used him for their own gain. And to Tom Hanks he did a great job playing Colonel
Austin Butler, you really are a special kind of STAR. BRAVO!
He deserves an Oscar 😱😱
This movie is the greatest movie of Austin impersonating Elvis. I think Elvis came back and helped Austin. I'm going every day to see this movie until it moves on to other theatres. I know Elvis is very pleased 😀😀😄😀😀😀😀😀😀.
This movie is the best one ever made. I loved every minute of it.
I did just watched all the Kurtrussell movies and yes nothing like Austin Butler. He nailed it right to the tee🥰🥰 such a honey too just like Elvis was..the looks the voice the black hair made him look so much more handsome bringing out his charming face. Dressing up makes you feel good ain't that the truth..🕺🕺
I loved the 68 Christmas special! Well put together! SENSATIONAL!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
To get the approval of all 3 Elvis generations is really something and I hope all the team gets awarded for their amazing work. No other movie made me go to 8 different theaters to watch it. And now I watched it on HBO max and it was stunning!!!
I was very dubious to see this film as only one Elvis. But with Pricilla & Lisa's endorsement & fabulous write ups from true 👍 fans 👏 I went along to the cinema with a open mind . Absolutely fabulous fantastic film all acting parts fabulous in fact everything ❤ was so beautifully presented & respect to Elvis & family & fans . I sang along with great music 🎶 you could not help but sing & move . I laughed & cried & left quite emotional 😭 Absolutely best film & recommended to all my Elvis fans to see on the big screen if Pricilla did not genuinely endorsement on the film 😀 there was no way I would have seen such a master piece of art 😀 I would go again . Brilliant & happy they did not show his passing as far as I am concerned Elvis lives on around the world in spirit & great music in the universe 👍 for all to love & respect.
This is the best movie I’ve seen in a very long time! At the end it literally rips your heart out and I figured I was making a fool of myself bawling my eyes out in the theater till the lights came on and everyone was crying! Thank God for those black artists that literally had a hand in making Elvis! I’m a white girl and I love black churches! I love to hear them preach, I love the singing and the shouting! That’s real worship I’d you ask me! We have a all black church close to our house and I want to go so bad, but I don’t know how they’d react to this little white girl😂😂😂! They are my brothers and sisters in Christ and I should just go, something tells me they would embrace me❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Tara, please follow your heart and attend service at this Church sometime (with your parents' permission, of course). Remember that God is Love and I promise you'll be accepted. I'm a 62 year black woman who grew up pentecostal; therefore, this is all I know. I totally understand why you're so moved by this particular culture. And by the way, since childhood, I've been a huge, huge Elvis fan. He was an awesome and talented entertainer. God bless you ♥️!
They would welcome you with open arms.
Austin Butler Amazing amazing actor I have never seen such a real emotional delivery that I managed to live that time for more than 02:30 minutes dancing singing acting with faces and mouths and visceral expressions a spectacle of acting Elvis Presley deserves this star that appeared in the cinema.
I think Austin Butler is a great actor and great moon dancer..especially when he act to cried for his mother passed away in Elvis movie...that I saw it in him when he cried in real life when he lost his own mother. He well-deserves the awards. I hope the Presley family will invite him to be their family. Lisa Marie needed that in him since she lost her son Benjamin.
Austin Butler was only paid $750.000.00 to play Elvis while Tom Hanks was paid 8 million for his role. the role of tom Hanks could have been played by other actors no one could have replaced Austin Butler. I hope someone edits the movie taking out Tom Hanks because he is in every scene, I could tolerate 30 min when I stopped watching the movie. As an Elvis fan, I was looking forward to seeing the movie but Tom Hanks ruined it for me. I am praying that someone edits tom Hanks out of the movies.
Yes Lisa has been home a lot after Benjamin died. She feels tender toward Austin now.
This movie was so good I am returning to see it again! Austin became Elvis! I couldn’t sit still….I was back in the early sixties….late fifties too!
I lived down the street from Graceland in Whitehaven (The Meadow Oaks Apartments) from 1975-1977. I became friends with Elvis' uncle Vester. I visited Graceland often and spent a lot of time at the little memorabilia house at the foot of the mansion. Graceland was always particularly beautiful during Christmas. I saw Elvis several times but never got to meet Priscilla or Lisa-Marie. I am still amazed and speechless that this is a part of my history. Kudos to the movie, it brings back so many memories. It looks well done.
I met uncle Vester too first time I went to Graceland
One word……”Oscar “ 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I know the movie has lots of poetic licences and fantasy moments, but it's fantastic, a great tribute to Elvis and his gigantic talent
OMG have seen the movie 6 times it was AMAZING - I screamed out loud and embarrassed myself!
That's alright I did too and my husband talked ugly to the Tom parker a lot so... lol. He was born in Memphis as was his family. All of this we knew but no movie had ever portrayed it properly. This movie was so real and Austin so good it was truly breath taking 😃
A woman did that in my theater during the pink suit wiggle scenes. LOL
@@Paul-dz7xi 😂🤣😂🤣 I’m dead!! That is hilarious
@@RoseRNCLNC I TOTALLY agree! I have seen it 7 times so far and every time the cinema is packed! The 2 nd time I saw it it was so much better then the first time! You see hear notice enjoy it so much more!
OSCORS GALLORE FOR ELVIS!
Haha good!! I thought I was crazy for seeing it twice. I'm going for a 3rd time.
i can honestly say this biopic was more honest and true than Bohemian Rhapsody or Rocketman combined.
I absolutely agree (although I haven't seen rocketman and don't plan on watching it), Austin was 20x more believable as Elvis than Rami was as Freddie.
@@lessalazar9068 I fully agree. Rami had nothing to do with the real Freddie to be frank. He was just an impersonator to me
I loved both of those movies but the ELVIS movie is on a whole different level. Austin gave me deja vu back to when Elvis was alive. It was haunting and spooky.
Austin is a future STAR!
God bless the KING ELVIS PRESLEY ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤙🇺🇸❤️✌️✅
He workd very hard, it paid off. The best and truest movie ever made. On Elvis rise to Legendary status. Bravo
Saw the movie and loved it. So pleased Baz didn’t show Elvis death and actual decline towards the end, so respectful and enlightened of Baz. I’m stilling reminiscing over the movie and has brought me closer to understanding Elvis and what occurred to him in his life. He was a victim and also self destructive
Great movie. I went and seen the movie twice. It's totally awesome. ELVIS PRESLEY ROCKS.
Austin Butler Was The Best Choice To Represent Elvis Presley. I Hope He Becomes A Very Successful Entertainer.
LOVED this film been Elvis fan since i can rememberI am now 68 years old. The best film ever made about ELVIS PRESLEY. Austin Butler was great and Tom Hanks delivered as he always does Best film this year
Unbelievable movie and a incredible performance from. Austin Butler…..hopefully Hollywood does right by him….
Austin Butler was only paid $750.000.00 to play Elvis while Tom Hanks was paid 8 million for his role. the role of tom Hanks could have been played by other actors no one could have replaced Austin Butler.

I feel the same way Lisa Marie felt about him morphing into Austin’s body. I think that when Austin spent that month in Graceland alone, Elvis Presley possessed that young man he was a replica of Elvis on that stage. I was just utterly utterly moved
The word and meaning is channeled not possession... Possession would mean something entirely different... think of evil and satanism... the spirit does not take possession unless it is of satan and evil...
@@janice5528 Thank you but I gather you know what I meant
@@janice5528 You have plenty of opportunity to tell your story and use ANY word that you want to use. She used the word that she wanted. Buzz 🐝 off lady.🤣Get a life for goodness sakes.
I never heard Austin sent a month in Graceland alone...can you tell me where I can find this information?..thanks!
Possession usually follows evil, wiccan and conjuring which could not be of Elvis as he was not evil... he believed in Christ and would not be sticking around like a ghost, though I believe his soul has departed the substance of his spirit is still with us as we remember him, and shares that through God so whatever you believe in "possession" that is not so good... One spirit to possess another spirit...He may have just been simply inspired... I dont think he stayed there a month either... Austin said he visited a couple times... But where did you get the rumor that he stayed a month... I would need to hear that from a source more reliable..
Great interview. Learn so much about Austin .Oscar worthy performance.
Not since GWTW has a film created such a stir! This has to do with the pre-release publicity which has been nothing short of SUPERB! Congrats to all who brought their sensibilities to bear on this aspect of getting "ELVIS" up and running!
I haven't been so buoyed up over a movie since Cameron's Titanic.
I feel like every Elvis fan was waiting for him to fail not all fans but a few on how he didn’t look or sing or talk like the king and now they’re all singing praise and eating crow !
@@MelMeltalks31 There are 3 Immortals from this period. Marlon, Marilyn and, of course, Elvis. We've waited 40 yrs. to see Elvis's story done justice. I felt the stars were finally aligned for a fresh look. I'm so happy not to be disappointed. GO ELVIS!
@@pikemeredith5604 I like the pun! Yeah!! 🌊🚢
most excellent performance and tribute to Elvis..watch the movie
Saw it, felt it and must do it over again. Elvis has been the one since I was 12. Aston brougth him back. Thank you! The Oscar goes to….
Seriously one of the best movies this year. Totally in awe of the performances
Just thinking about this movie give me goosebumps every time that’s how good it is
Austin should totally go on tour and perform live as Elvis
No I don't think so.
It was divine intervention… had to be… add his talent? Can’t fail!!! Loved it!
Many Oscar Nominations coming! Many winners ...
ELVIS, Best Picture
Austin Butler, Oscar Best Actor
Baz Luhrmann, Best Director ... and the list goes on!
I Amen to that.
After watching a documentary about his forensic report, I could not sleep for few days...
I can't but feel sad that ppl around him destroyed and killed him ... his life was a tragic one.
You say to yourself what could be shown about Elvis that we don't already know
All I can say is just go see it you'll be wowed !
I love this movie! I have seen it 8 times. I'm going to say Austin Butler, will get at least 2 Oscar's
Young Girls are all about living for Austin's performance in this film but Tom Hanks was also amazing and almost unrecognizable.
I can’t say enough about this young man, he awesome.
I saw the movie ELVIS 3 DAYS AGO. THE MOVIE WAS WONDERFUL & AUSTIN YOU WERE MAGNIFICENT AS ELVIS. I can't stop thinking about it & want to see ELVIS again. I love ELVIS & YOU.
I like the fact that Kevin Harris jr wanted proof of what they wanted him to do playing a true character B.B. King that had a relationship with The King.
I loved Elvis. He was my first favorite Icon.
At last a film that actually did him justice, loved every minute. Seems all people ever did was take from him rather than give him anything back and finally we have. He was a gift from God ❤️
I loved this etalk, I love Elvis, and I loved this movie!
you just love everything now dont ya
31 movies! That's alot of movies Elvis made!
I saw 👀 the Elvis movie it was AWESOME! 🤩 Austin Butler did a fantastic job portraying Elvis 🤩👍🏽🎥🍿. I been to Graceland tour Elvis home 🏡 years ago. I will add this movie to my movie collection. 👍🏽🤩
EXACTLY WHAT I SAID. I TOTALLY AGREE!!! I saw Elvis 3 times
I've seen it a bunch of times too! Loved it!
Love his voice now. Can listen to him talk all day.
Me, too...Love him. Our Elvis of today.
made me cry,best movie i've ever seen.
I've seen the movie four times, and I'm going again :) Can't get enough!
Mr. Edwards, you did a fantastic job throught this entire 30 minute look into the not only the making of the movie, the actors themselves, but bringing out the thoughts & feelings of everyone involved, Great Job!
Elvis is the King of Rock and Roll.
Elvis did not STEAL black music, he used it. He incorporates it. He was the sum of many styles .
Elvis lived black music. Nobody can take that from him. Those who cry misappropriation are just jealous of Elvis' success. It was his true life.
@@alanunderwoodsr8622 I believe black artists were royally screwed by radio stations and record companies when it came to royalties/credit, BUT that's on them, NOT on Elvis. None of that is his fault. He liked a song, he recorded it. People need to stop with the "Elvis stole black music BS". He was inspired and mixed it with other styles to create his own sound stamp.
Exactly
@@christineoneal666 I agree. He also liked to record country music and rockabilly from a variety of artists. Interestingly no one says he stole that music!
Exactly. I don’t understand why they always demonize him.
Little Richard credited Elvis Presley multiple times for opening up the door for black music and creating a path that he could travel and so he could make his mark. Clearly a terribly racist time Elvis put poverty and racial socialization on his platform. But he did it all through Music and his behind the scenes actions alone. He never got political and I think that’s what actually made him so powerful and able to succeed. Just read the amazing quotes by legends in the black community that were not shy in telling the world of their bonds and respect for Elvis Presley. These are my favorite ones:
MUHAMMAD ALI - 'Elvis was my close personal friend. He had a robe made for me. I don't admire nobody, but Elvis Presley was the sweetest, most humble and nicest man you'd want to know. We must understand, Elvis did lot for poor people, he cared for people, he had a good heart, he just wasn't a person who was great with talent, but he was great in spirit and with God in his heart. I wouldn't praise nobody if he don't deserve it, because I am the greatest of all time in boxing, in boxing. I said boxing ! But I'm telling you, I'm Black, I'm a Islamic, I'm 100% different from you. But I’ll tell the world Elvis was the greatest of all time. I'm a Muslim who's black who stands up for what he believes. I don't have to say what I don't feel, I'm not false, I don't have to say this. I have no Bosses. I'm free. He to me, is one of the greatest singers, actors and all round men of all time.” ~ "THE GREATEST" MUHAMMAD ALI.
BB KING: 'Let me tell you the definitive truth about Elvis Presley and racism', The King of the Blues, B.B. King said in 2010. 'With Elvis, there was not a single drop of racism in that man. And when I say that, believe me I should know'. -- BB KING
The "GODFATHER OF SOUL" JAMES BROWN: “I wasn’t just a fan, I was his brother. He said I was good and I said he was good; we never argued about that. Elvis was a hard worker, dedicated, and God loved him … I love him and hope to see him in heaven. There will never be another like that Soul Brother”. During Elvis' private family wake, James was the LAST ONE TO LEAVE. 3 hours and 30 minutes later -- it took several of his security guards to help him out of the room. James was devastated -- James and Elvis sang Gospel together many a night to all hours of the morning at each others' homes. James Brown was considered family by the Presleys they were so close.
JACKIE WILSON: "A lot of people have accused Elvis of stealing the black man's music, when in fact, almost every black solo entertainer copied from Elvis." --- JACKIE WILSON (Elvis quietly paid for Jackie's medical expenses until the day he passed away in 1977. Before Jackie's stage accident he would carry a small signed photo of Elvis in his pants pocket. Every day, bar none.)
RANDY JACKSON (of the Jackson 5): "Elvis used Rock and Roll music to bridge the gap between whites and minorities. He was a wonderful person."
LITTLE RICHARD "He sung my Tootie Fruti & by him singing it, made it bigger & made ME bigger" And then he said: “I thank God for Elvis Presley. I thank the Lord for sending Elvis to open the door so I could walk down the road...”- Little Richard
CISSY HOUSTON: "Elvis loved gospel music. He was raised on it. And he really did know what he was talking about. He was singing Gospel all the time - almost anything he did had that flavor. You can't get away from what your roots are." - Cissy Houston (The Sweet Inspirations co-founder & member & sang vocals for Elvis, also mother of Whitney Houston)
God Bless you! I could feel the love coming through you! I haven't seen the movie and I'm hoping it will be online soon. I'm 67 years old and can't get out much. I sure appreciate the way u feel. I do believe Elvis was a special gift from God!
This movie keeps your eyes glued to the screen. So much to enjoy. And Austin Butler is WONDERFUL!
Loved this Etalk! And Baz and entire cast is phenomenal. Austin definitely deserves to win an award for his outstanding performance. It’s great that Baz spent time giving credit to the performers on Beale street and they should be recognized for their contributions to American music and culture. Well done by all!!
AUSTIN DESERVES A WIN WIN WIN. OSCAR STAR
I saw the first day of opening and awesome movie 🎬 🎞 🎥 Austin Butler the Oscar is a waiting for you
Great interview. True Elvis fans already knew where Elvis got his influence. It’s these young hipsters that try to paint the picture of a racist who misappropriated music.
Greatest biopic ever done
Great job Austin. ❤️❤️
A wise man once said, “It’s good to be the king.”
It's not Austin Butler anymore, it's Austin OSCAR!!!! 🏆
A superb film
Elvis = GOAT.
He’s okay
Let's not forget hanks. He played a great part. Hate his politics but respect him as a actor
Brilliant movie Tom Hanks and Austin has Elvis soul loved the part where he says a lot of people saying things but you just have to be your self
I wanted to jump up and dance. A big big thank you to Actors like Denzel Washington seen the light and gift inn Austin and saying to Baz Luhrmann you have to meet this guy Amen
Elvis has been reborn his soul lived inn Austin little Richerd open the hearts to soul x
Really enjoyed this round of interviews- the Host was able to bring us new information and insight from more performers. I appreciate his work.
the most amazing movie I have ever seen!!! We have a NEW Elvis, my god!!!
Ich habe den Film 🎥 ELVIS GESEHEN. AUSTIN IST ELVIS BEAUTIFUL Love Elvis and Austin für Elvis Thank you my Herz ❤
Best ever l have been a fan for over 60 years and i thought great l visit grace lands 2 great
Movie is fantastic!!! Austin you really did it! With all the imposters of Elvis, you mastered him. I didn't particularly like Col. ?? Telling the story. Gave him way too much credit and time in the movie!!!
Anyhows, movie certainly worth seeing and sure to win awards.
Great job by all ! Loved it !Will forever be a ELVIS FAN!💞💞
Austin was awesome & as energetic as the king himself. Funny tho whether it was meant or not but when Austin is talking to BB King on the window ledge, the guy says... they (the fans) don't want to see you as a butler when he wore the tuxedo for Hound Dog song. I laughed coz he is a butler, he's Austin Butler.
haha that's cool
Baz luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet is a masterpiece!
Elvis Forever ❤
I saw the movie 3 times!!! Loved it each time!!!!!❤❤❤
