This was excellent and so was this movie. He was a truly creative artist and his legacy was a deep love of music. More remix of Little Less Conversation is due to the techno realm long before that style but there was some reluctance to let them remix the song because Elvis did not like the idea of technology doing something to the song that he could not do naturally thus leave him unable to sing the it for fans at concerts.
Elvis produced all of his own music, had complete creative control inside the studio, he might not have written a lot of his own songs, his versions often had the original artist in such awe of what he did and get it to places the only Elvis could conceive leaving some to never sing it again because Elvis always made a song his own.
If people think he stole black music is ridiculous every song comes down to one of a kind voice. However, Elvis influenced every artist that came after him and how we listen to music so his changes are still felt today.

Hound Dog was written by Leiber and Stoller - a famous duo who wrote many hits including Jailhouse Rock. The were two white Jewish men. Most people think Elvis took this hit from Big Mama Thornton. Big Mama wrote Ball and Chain later covered by Janis Joplin - sounds like an almost completely different song. Elvis did not want to copy or even make a hit out of it. He decided to give it a fun spin. Leiber and Stoller believed Elvis was a great actor in the making - see King Creole. Col Parker refused to let that happen. Elvis was offered the part of Mike in West Side Story, but because of he social message, refused Elvis for the role. This is where his comeback comes in. After singing If I Can Dream, he didn't want to sing another song, he didn't feel on a deep level. So, in 1969 he put his foot down with Col Parker and insisted on singing a song EVERYBODY turned down - In The Ghetto.

If you research his horrific health there won't anything they could have done. Medical technology wasn't where they could have saved him. They didn't even have MRI's, Hell even the ambulances were SO PRIMATIVE. He was suffering from a Traumatic brain injury (one of several, even DR Nick noted it in his charts. They didn't realize what exactly happens to people with major brain injuries like that. That in turn caused an Autoimmune disease to start attacking all his major organs. Lead to his heart being twice the size, Liver & Kidney problems, hepatitis, his A1 deficiency from birth, then add in his chronic pain, his poly pharmacy, and the accidental Codine he took that night. Too many things at once for sure. His depression, self medicating, melancholy, mood swings were all exhastrubated by his Brain Injury in 1967. Dr Nick said he was never the same afterwards.

This movie has made me miss him all over again. I'm 72 and grew up with his movies, the 68 special and then Vegas. I didn't pay attention to the 50s years, too young. However, the movie shows us why he was so controversial and why the audiences went nuts! I watched Austin go from 19 to his 40s I the movie and it was a miracle. But it wasn't just the make up. It was the exact moves Elvis made each time he performed. I saw him in Vegas in 1971. I know what those shows looked like. Now I know why it took Austin almost 2 1/2 years to become elvis. I wonder if he'll EVER, shake the king. Oscars for Austin, Tom Hanks, Baz and Catherine Martin. Austin did not walk on set and suddenly become Elvis. That's impossible. It took such dedication and hard work. It's appropriate that finally we're going back to the theater and THIS MOVIE IS OUT NOW.

I mean the movie didn't suggest Parker was a car is when he discovered Elvis, it was apparent that he was in the music business, the COUNTRY music, business, as the movie says. They used the carnival as a backdrop to lay the preface, of Elvis as a child and Colonel as a Carney, but both loved the carnival, and Elvis would later rent out the fairgrounds after hours to ride all the rides overnight, so it was acty a fitting way to do the preface to the actual story. Colonel was at a Louisiana Hayride show the first time he saw him perform and he saw how Elvis had an almost hypnotic effect on the crowd. But, there were a lot of mixing and matching of events and history, but I was fine with most of it.

CORRECTION: It was Elvis's manager Col. Parker who DID NOT want Elvis to record it because of it's social message. Elvis is the one who insisted on recording it, and that he intended on making it a hit. If you truly know his upbringing in Tupelo, MI and subsequent fourteen homes his family would be batted around in due to extreme poverty, you will know he lived in the middle of the Black section of town. He moved into the Ghetto of Memphis government housing. Sammy refused the song because he could not resonate with it It wasn't my upbringing but, I can tell you who can resonate with it. History was made.

He had it all. Looks, so much Talent, a greAt voice. A unique figure from what I have heard about him. He had broad shoulder narrow waist. He had so much humanity and compassion. He had a lot of joy and a sense of humour. He was a beautiful person inside and out. He belonged to everybody and no one. He brought the race relations to music. I wish someone could have helped him from himself and colonel Parker. Parker was an empty man and he had Elvis on a short leash to keep up with Parkers gambling bets. Parker is one man that I dont mind saying I hope hes turning in his grave from being outed in this movie.

The Hurt I still feel after all these years have softened but will never subside, my friends and family have never Questioned me but still dont understand his importance in my life? Now today one of my Grandchildren has lost faith with todays Noice she went to see the ELVIS MOVIE after listening to so much of his Music through me playing him all the time- she came back CONVERTED! So now the world has another Fan and I have someone to leave my Collection too! Long live the KING.

Elvis was a gift to us from God. As with any gift you need to cherish it and Elvis had no one to do so. Instead he was treated like a circus animal by Tom Parker. Even race horses have time to rest after a race but Tom Parker made Elvis perform until he could perform no more. Then Pricilla breaks his heart by leaving him. He may be the King but he still was a man and someone that needed a little tenderness. Wonder if he had someone that cared about him would he still be alive.

Ive been an Elvis fan probably since I was born (his music was always playing in my house growing up. I actually had the amazing opportunity to celebrate my Sweet Sixteen at Graceland Im 23 now and still love Elvis just as much. Austin Butler truly embodied Elvis and became him in my opinion. This movie made me fall in love with Elvis more, which I didnt even know was possible!

Yes, I'm a life-long Elvis fan - fell in love with him when I was 12 years-old! He was the best performer ever and I don't believe there will ever be another one to match him. I was lucky enough to see him live the year before he died.
