The beginning of the film moved along at a verrry brisk pace, and not in the most effective way. Maybe it was meant to signify Elvis’ straight-shot to stardom, but I often had a difficult time keeping up. And I failed to truly grasp much of his journey because of it. A part of me feels as though story was sacrificed a little for style.
The most I learned about Elvis was towards the end, when things slowed down a bit. Gosh, these biopics are a punch in the gut. Even when you know what’s coming, your heart always seems to feel it for the first time. So tragic and sad. And I didn’t realize how young he was.
Austin. Butler. I didn’t looove the movie, but he was FANTASTIC. He had the Elvis voice DOWN. It’s not easy to channel a legend, and I believe he successfully did just that. He was superb, and I hope some awards come his way.
you know they blended Elvis' actual voice in there right? he doesn't sing like him. they augmented his voice with Elvis' so that it didn't come off as a poor imitation
