Biographical films, or biopics, became the rage of the moment. In fact, they've been around for a while and tend to move people quite a bit, regardless of the main figure depicted. But when a certain long call Bohemian Rhapsody and your main actor Rami Malek took the Oscar, a great opportunity had its door open: the possibility to explore iconic names from history more often. 5s2zu
Only since 2018 have we had representations, for example, of Elton John, Tammy Faye e Elvis Presley. The latter in the hands of Baz Luhrmann, a prestigious filmmaker with some of the most memorable films in cinema (Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge – Love in Red, The big Gatsby. Elvis is your bet since the series The Get Down, canceled by Netflix, and bring Austin butler in the role of rockstar. With some Oscar nominations, the film invites everyone to visit the madness that was the star's event, ing through the fervor of success until the fall of his career. Always with a look of iration on the artist.

Elvis goes through the singer's youthful years, in the 40's, until his residency shows in Las Vegas, in the 70's.Austin butler) with Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks), his manager. The person who had discovered him would be the one to betray his trust.
At all times, Baz wants to tell a faithful story, but one that praises the figure of Elvis Presley. How he was an outlier for artists at the time and how his quirkiness and stage presence won over thousands of fans. Elvis was seen as a sex symbol for its audience, mostly female, and also as perverse for the portion that abhorred non-traditional attitudes at the time. The simple fact of his rolls in musical numbers made conservatives raise their voices to protest against the singer.
The film shows that, despite the many difficult moments in his life, Elvis was a good person with good intentions. Of course, even today, the way in which the artist honored the music played by the black community at the time — or appropriated it — is much discussed. The film does an extensive job of cleaning up the image here, showing that Elvis ired icons like Sister Rosetta, Arthur "Big Boy" e Little Richard. The treatment chosen by the film is convincing, but the controversy still exists.
From humble childhood to stardom, Elvis goes through the wedding with Priscilla Presley and the birth of their daughter Lisa Marie Presley, who tragically ed away in January of this year. But more often than not, Tom Hanks' character looms like a predator, taking advantage of the artist's charisma and impact to extract as much money as possible. The consequences escalate as far as he can stand.

Launched in Brazil last year, part of the public loved it Elvis and found the film very captivating, while another didn't connect much with the plot. However, something in common on both sides is the praise of Austin Butler. It is visible that the actor gave his maximum to the character. In addition to imitating his mannerisms and voice, Austin understood and let Elvis live on screen. It is one of the outstanding performances of 2022.
Tom Hanks tries to do his best, despite tending to be too caricatured. The cast, which manages to sustain the various ups and downs of this long history, also has Olivia DeJonge, Dacre Montgomery e Luke Bracey.
In addition to the interpretations, the film also manages to deliver good technique. Unlike the terrible edition of Bohemian Rhapsody, the montage, which is more cohesive and organized here, makes more sense. Sound is also an interesting aspect. Soundtrack matches both the most agitated scenes and the dramatic ones. The use of live music, from the extensive catalog of the “King of Rock 'N Roll”, was spot on. The only point outside the curve in this regard is the insertion of the film's publicity song — Vegas, Doja Cat — at a very random time. Just put it in the credits.

It will be the big WINNER.
I'm betting on best film and best actor, that boy Austin Butler was sensational, the faces, mouths and facial expressions were very reminiscent of the real Elvis. This boy has my iration. I hope he wins the best actor award.
I'm really rooting for Austin, he embodied Elvis, and for his 3-year dedication to the character, in dialect, dance, in the very songs that many were sung by the actor himself, he deserves this Oscar so much!
The film left a lot to be desired, especially regarding Elvis' relationship with Priscilla where this story was pushed under the rug and the scenes where he talks to her in the mansion near the stairs and the loumosine, simply did not exist in real life. Another scene that didn't exist was him fighting Parker onstage in Las Vegas. Another is his encounter with BBKihg. that is, many lies inserted in the film and for those who know the history of Elvis in depth, it was a disappointment.
Correct, but there is much more, the film looks like a circus, the actor looks like a wax doll with injected lips, more like a transvestite. They were worried about defaming Col. Parker, which took up a good part of the film. They classified Elvis' mother as an alcoholic which would kill Elvis twice, he would never accept that. With so much history in his hands and ended up destroying part of his life, and again, they gave it a circus feel. I have the film RAY about Ray Charles and it was a magnificent film, even the child who plays him in the film was fantastic,.. on the other hand they remained mediocre as the film was also a lie, only you have Freddy Mercury, as biased and a liar as of ELVIS, deeply disrespecting the of QUEEN.
The whale….real joke!!!!
The worst film I ever saw in my life
If Elvis was alive, he would ban the “film” that exposed his beloved mother as an alcoholic, with an imbecile father dominated as Elvis himself was, will it be ?? Elvis to begin with will never be the King of Rock, he can be a performing god because he was always a cover artist, and an actor…Elvis never made a song. But he got more than he deserved, but above all he deserved to have lived his religiosity and dignity with his wife, which he didn't do because he chose lust. Elvis is a god, yes, greater than the fake king, reproducing copies of other people's successes will not be repeated like this anymore. How many films did he make and how many rock s were in six more than 30 films?. You're kidding, right ?? The stupid film as much as the one by Freddy Mercury is biased, erroneous, lying and did not need to share with a businessman so disgraceful but earning half of the film with his majesty, therefore DOI REIS ?? Elvis doesn't deserve it and Queen didn't deserve it. Watch. REY on REI CHARLES and see what FILM and respect is. They killed Elvis and Freddy…the actor looks like a wax figure or some transgenic with swollen lips. In the end they should be prosecuted for using the real image of Elvis on stage. It's not the actor's fault that he remained the slender puppet until the end and Elvis didn't put on weight in a cinematic sequence. If Elvis didn't die now he was buried alive.
