Why watch this film?
Elvis Presley is one of the most well-known names in world music, still with a legion of fans - and generating a lot of revenue - decades after his death. But how was the young man from Memphis, Tennessee, elevated to the status of King of Rock? The biopic "Elvis" traces exactly this path, showing how black music influenced the musician, the discovery of his style, the furor (for good and for bad) that he caused in society and his countless phases. The thread of the narrative is the singer's manager, "Colonel" Tom Parker (Tom Hanks), who propelled Elvis to stardom - and who, for many, is to blame for his death. From there begins a real event movie, including an accelerated edition and a sometimes stylized visual. All to give stage to Austin Butler, who plays the star in a masterful way, making us really believe that Elvis did not die - even when he sings. Although long (2h39 of duration), the production addresses practically all the relevant facts of Presley's career and personal life, which will certainly leave fans extremely satisfied.
