“This movie was not really a priority for me but my wife was really eager to see it. First of all, to be honest, I have never been a huge fan of Elvis Presley, I was also rather oblivious about his career so it was pretty cool to see a movie dealing with all the important moments of his life. I especially did appreciate how they displayed how black music had a huge impact on his work, especially at the beginning of his career. On top of that, Austin Butler was obviously really amazing playing the King and I wouldn’t be surprised if he would eventually win an Academy Award for his performance (he recently already won a Golden Globe for it). It was also quite impressive how he managed to play the same character over a period of 20 years and always remain convincing. I also warned my wife th” read more

Watched in 2022: Movies (114 movies items)" 2022 Director: Baz Luhrman His 6th movie My 6th movie watched from the director I love Luhrmann's style, no matter the subject matter. It's unique to him and it always creates a certain excitable energy. Butler does a hell of a job playing the king and Hanks is incredibly, and appropriately, unlikable.

“(Usb) Colonel Parker is the villain but makes his discharges in the figure of an amusing bastard tricky Tom Hanks. Elvis has to be a manipulable moron to be managed by Hanks (even his religipus mother is more inteligent) and so are his friends...in Luhrmand there's a superficial baroquism...” read more
Box Office Predictions - 2022
Movies the giraffe watched in 2022: July (36 movies items)"First viewing - July 16th As excellent as Austin Butler is in this, the script can't be bothered with making his Elvis a fully realized person, much to its detriment. Perhaps if the film wasn't actually centered on Col. Tom Parker, portrayed by Tom Hanks doing a ridiculous accent while covered in slightly less ridiculous make-up, instead of Elvis that'd be different. The film also insists on flying through the details of Elvis's life so quickly that few leave any lasting impression, & yet the l"
