Elvis the Pelvis

ELVIS (2022)

DIRECTOR: BAZ LUHRMANN

Theres nothing better than a biopic done PROPERLY. Austin’s commitment to the role is not something that should be taken lightly. His embodiment of Elvis left even people of elvis’ generation shocked (my grandmother included). He exceeded expectations in every way imaginable and his partnership with Mr. Baz Luhrrman should be continued. Baz’s direction was nothing short of perfect. He put me in the world of the 1900’s and revealed to me and the rest of my generation the magnitude of a hold that Elvis had. He had me wishing I was alive to see a performance and showed a side of Elvis’ that hasn’t really been accurately portrayed prior to this film. His connection with the black community throughout the film was moving as was the concept of him carrying the soul of his twin brother through his voice. Not to mention the ENDINGGGG. When I tell you I was crying out of sheer pain for that man I cannot make this up. The exhaustion shown through Austin’s voice and the mashup/clip change that Baz incorporated to include the actual performance brought tears to my eyes. I had never felt so much pain and suffering for someone through a movie. It was truly inspiring to see how even til the very end, Elvis gave his all in his performances. It was awe-inspiring.

I know my friends are tired of hearing me rave about and recommend this movie but I genuinely have never felt so passionately about a movie as I do about Elvis. It’s a MUST see for everyone. I promise you will finish the movie feeling emotions you did not expect to arise. Be ready to Fly!
